But some members think the Raptorstrike is better, while the other people is for the Centurion. Well, I will bring today the pros of each blaster, alongisde with my personal choice. Similarities 1: They are in the sniper category. I know, the blasters shoot pretty much the same range. But we still recognize a sniper blaster.

2: They have bolts in both sides. If you are lefty (I am lefty), no worries.

3: They come packaged with a bipod.

Centurion's Pros- 1: The biggest strength of the Centurion is it has a rail in the top. Sure, you can put a 3D-Printed kit on the Raptorstrike. But this go in the mods. Also, it is picatinny/weaver rails, not N-Strike rails. If you don't know what is Picatinny/Weaver rails, be aware they are in fire arms and airsoft guns.

During long time, it didn't make sense to put a scope because it never allowed magnification. But recently, Nerf come with a 5x Night vision Scope. At this moment, the rail in the top become a pro for the Centurion.

2: The magazine's release. It has also cons, but I will refer to his 2 main pros.

First of all, it is a traditional magazine release, behind the magazine. This is more simple for those who aren't familiar with the new magazine releaze, located in the grip.

Second of all, it is large. So for the big hands, it won't be an issue.

3: You can equip grips without any issues. Even with the grip blaster.

4: The fact it use mega darts won't let your enemy use your ammunition. Also, in most of nerf wars, you do more damages. But that pro is depending of the rules.

Raptorstrike's Pros- 1: You have a shorter priming. So faster RoF. 2: The ergonomy, as well the weight's balancing, is phenomenal. 3: It is compatible with the standard magazines. 4: Storage Stock ! 5: The dart's contact with the barrel is lower.

What is my personal choice ? The Raptorstrike.

I mostly do usage of iron sights and scopes with low zoom. So I enjoy the incredible ergonomy from that Accustrike sniper. For very similar performances, I prefer the Raptorstrike. I like the Raptorstrike better because you can shoot most other Nerf ammo types with it (and the Centurion can only shoot Mega Darts). But yeah, it's a shame that the enemy can use your darts, assuming they are using a non-mega blaster..
