I'll be honest, it's getting farther and farther between times when I actually get excited about a Nerf blaster. Well, tonight was one of those times. I unboxed an Adventure Force Savage Spin and was pleasantly surprised by its design, ergonomics, and performance. Bravo Force !

The Savage Spin is deceivingly simple. There's the core blaster, and a three cylinder hot-swappable 45 dart, um, magazine ... thing. Don't get me wrong, it's awesome, I just don't have the words to describe it in Nerf lingo. It's everything the 18 dart StrongArm wanted to be, except two and a half times bigger.

The Savage Spin takes six AA batteries. For its size, it's a little beast. The firing mech is super crisp and clean, and the cylinder rotation resembles a pump-action shotgun. Everything about the tactile experience is just awesome. Firing this thing is just a pleasure.

The grip is good, but the stock is great. Although not detachable, the stock extends like a stock. It's really comfortable, even for big guys like me. Everything about it works really, really well.

To top it all off, the Savage Spin comes with 45 of the best darts on the market right now. Seriously, they're as good as any premium darts. Maybe even better than my favorite (and hard to find).

For $29 this thing is a steal. I've totally enjoyed everything about it. I'll stick it on my chrono later and publish its receipts.
