Alrighty, I've had enough ethanol to converse fluently and jovially about my new Nerf Regulator. Hmmm, where to begin ?

First, this sucker is heavy. It's like one of your cousin's kids. You go to pick him up and you're like "Whoa ! Whaddya feed this child ? Cheetos and depleted uranium ?" Well that's what the Regulator feels like. It's deceivingly heavy. Stampede-with-six-Ds kind of heavy.

The barrel attachments are awesome. They go together in a variety of ways, and you can reconfigure on the fly. That must be how girls feel about having fifty pairs of earrings, 19 belts, and 80 pairs of shoes. Yeah, I'm going with the aqua pumps, the turquoise earrings, and the white belt with the jade rhinestones today. Killin' it.

The handle attachment is cool, but unnecessary IMHO. Maybe helpful if you're 4 foot 8, but kinda in the way if you're not. When you use all the barrel attachments together it's kinda wobbly. It's got that Coop barrel extension barrel extension thing going on. Who knows, you might actually be able to shoot around corners with a fully complimented Regulator.

The burst-fire mode actually works. Yes there's a little delay, but barely longer than if you manually fired it. Hey, your blaster's got to rev up, amiright ? Three tenths of a second isn't going to matter. Unless my Rampage is already primed, then you're toast. Just sayin'. But it truly has three fire modes. We'll see this feature again, I'm sure.

CS-12s ? Seriously, CS-12s ??? This thing's screaming for CS-18s or a drum. The auto mode eats 12 darts in 4 seconds. Then you're dart food for half a minute while you swap clips. Plan to confiscate larger clips from your other blasters when you're patrolling with your Regulator.

Okay, jamming. Had a lot of problems with jamming, especially in auto and burst mode. The flywheels obviously weren't up to speed before the feeder grabbed the first dart. Whammo, blammo, jammo. Maybe Elites work better, but this Nerfhead has moved on to way better ammo. Too bad they don't work well in the Reg.

Bottom line, I like it. It has its challenges, but it also has great potential. Let the modding begin !
