The Centurion, A Closer Look...

Quite possibly the last, mighty, spring-loaded gun Nerf will make, up there with the Longshot.  Does it have that potential? Most def.  First off look how it comes in the box....



The...Front Barrel, not completly assembled with the rest of the gun, is OFF!!!  I was hoping for this, it looks to me that you can keep this off and only have the breach to make this a compact rifle or "Carbine".  I don't know if the dart loading post is in the barrel atachment, or it it comes off like a Retaliator and the dart post is in the rest of the gun, but it might be better without the barrel.

Or maybe not....

You see I use a Barrel assembily on my Retaliator's to stabilize the darts as they go out. Here just see.


You see I use a 2 inch Velcro strip, the hard side of it and trim it with a box cutter so that there is no play on the barrel, but only on the barrel.  If you look closely, there are 2 tabs cut out that make it so the barrel does not move side to side as well as 5/8th's of an inch of barrel filed off to remove excess air so that the dart flies freely.  The result...sniperland!!!  Without this, at 185 Feet per second, the dart Fires wildly all over the place.  These are great also for Rayven and Stryfes, especially Stryfes.

Yes folk's the barrel can make or break this,  without the barrel, no bipod.  But honestly, who ever stays put on a bipod on their gun in a serious Nerf battle?...But then again look at the darts...


Noooo....not the blue one smart ass, the pink looking red ones...  I really hope they are not pink, but anyways notice the whistler ends on em.  Remember the the Sonic Darts were the most accurate, but slowest before we all standardized to Streamlines (me being one of the first).  It could be just accurate out the breach without a barrel to begin with.


Overall however, I am excited about this one, serious potential just when all those styfers thought it was safe.....


I am gonna love modding this thing.

I'll see you in Disneyland....

And don't forget, I have a few models of modded Nerf Guns for sale made new out of the box.  Not cheap, but victory never is....
