Content warning: nothing nice is going to be said here.  I've forgotten whether I'd warned you guys about the Zuru X-SHOT Max Attack. On its face, this is an awesome looking blaster. It's massive, it's clip fed, high capacity, and it has an assault/sniper vibe going on.

Unfortunately, none of that is actually true. Physically, it's quite small - just over 2 feet - 29.5 inches to be exact. To me, it feels small. Plus, it's a Retaliator style blaster with an overhand prime. Out of the box, the effective range is just over 15 feet. That's four and a half meters. Look, I'm serious, I can throw a dart farther than that and actually hit somebody.

The stock clip is only compatible with Zuru X-Shot darts. Regular Elites and Nerf clones are too long. It's a real shame. Repainted, this could have been great fun with regular Elite darts. Sad.

As it stands, it's a pretty but useless addition to your Nerf arsenal. I've seriously considered throwing out my Max Attack. It's not worth much in its stock form, and it's not worth upgrading.
