So I'll go out on a limb here and say it makes the Centurion "usable". I don't know if you read any of my old threads, but I have never actually hit anything with my Centurion, including but not limited to, my teenage daughter standing broad-shouldered 25 feet in front of me. On multiple occasions.

I have always blamed it on the darts, not the Centurion itself. Nerf Megas and knockoff Megas are notoriously unpredictable. The whistler port makes them completely erratic. But now for the first time, we have a Mega dart that doesn't act like a three-year-old with a poopie diaper.

Lookit, the Centurion has a host of other issues, I'll give you that. But when it's firing on all four cylinders, like Flat said, it's actually a pretty fun blaster. And this time we have some really, really good ammo. So "irredeemable" ? No. Perfect ? No. Usable for the first time as a sniper ? Your results may vary. But in my humble opinion, yes.

Why you ask ? Last night with a stock CycloneShock, I was able to hit 6 consecutive bullseyes on a nine inch target from 33 feet. Not once, not twice, but nine times. Fifty four shots, didn't miss once. In retrospect I should have taken video, but I didnt know that was going to happen. Shame on me.

I encourage you to spend ten bucks on some decent Mega AccuStrikes. Cross my heart, you'll love 'em. Promise, you won't hate me afterward.
