The OG run of surgefires had serious qc and reliablity issues, but later batches of the blaster made it much more usable. I've personally used one of the newer blasters and found it perfectly usable, with next to no skipage or dart farts.

The blaster is an extremely well selling, and well recieved by the public, but the nerf community has dismissed th blaster due to the lemon debut.

We will have to see how good the upcoming Shockwave and DG blasters are, since they are reshells/successors to the surgefire, (as well as the possible halo bulldog sg blaster). Hopefully the first releases have standard performance/qc.

While it, as always, comes down to personal preference, the DZ Villianator and Magnum X2 are objectively far better blasters when it comes to performance and cost.
