So Zuru has the X-Shot Hurricane and Max Attack mag-fed blasters, which are identical except for the non-removable stock and barrel on the latter.

Burlington had them for $12 and $16 respectively, so I picked up a Hurricane to try out.

TL;DR one-word review: TRASH.

The mags are not compatible with Nerf's N-Strike system in either direction, and because they're about a quarter inch "shorter" (front-to-back), pretty much all brands of normal-length darts (Elite, Adventure Force, Accustrike, dollar store, etc etc) will get stuck and not feed in them.

And even with the included shorty X-Shot darts, the last round in the mag always seems to "dribble" out when you fire it (probably not enough resistance for the chamber to get a good seal around it as it slides forward).

The magwell has no flare at all, so inserting the mag properly is a finicky operation. And then it goes in partway and "sticks", requiring a good slap on the bottom to get it all the way in, even if the breech is locked wide open per the instuctions.

So, all-in-all, I'd recommend just staying away from X-Shot mag-fed blasters. Their indexing-clip system is way better (I even picked up a complete used Regenerator for $15 to complement my $20 Justice =)
