I like Flat's train of thought. Let me add my 2¢. At its core, the Demolisher is a fairly mainstream flywheel blaster with a mediocre missile launcher. It's the hybrid offspring of a Stryfe and a ThunderBlast. Okay, that's a lie, the missile launcher isn't mediocre, it's horrible.

The Stampede on the other hand is a totally unique animal. A one of a kind blaster. And yes Fallout, it can definitely handle Elite darts, as well as most clones. I would trade my Demo for a working Stampede in a New York minute. The Stampede combines all the best characteristics of spring powered blasters with the best aspects of ECS flywheel blasters. Arguably it's the only fully automatic blaster with any stealth capability.

That being said, the Stampede's stock range is terrible. It NEEDS an Air Restrictectomy and a padded plunger. In the vast spectrum of Nerf mods, it's on the really easy end. But for some, even that is out of reach. If you're one of them, don't trade down to a Stampede.

But if you can handle a simple mod, the Stampede can be a really awesome blaster. Especially with a voltage mod.

And if you're jonesing for a proper missile launcher, get a Buzz Bee XBZ.
