i would rate it about a 3.5 star. its range and accuracy is pretty good. its also fairly easy to reload. it only uses a small variety of darts, so its hard to find extra ammo in a war. it can shoot pretty fast, too. it seems to work best with the buzzbee darts. its also a fairly common dart gun. i personally think this gun is overpriced at most stores, though.

decent gun.
Fastest top cock of any nerf gun. Awesome light. well ballanced and easy to shoulder. Inaccurate, darts tend to continue left as they leave the barrel when rapid firing. Advanced mod heaven, but frustating. Slow to completely reload.

Recommended mods:
remove air restrictor
(super advanced)
Larger air chamber (requires reworking linkages and for serious increases in chamber size, cutting the casing and then resealing
Retunning the light to fire every pull (requires knowlege of electronics at a high level and specialized tools)

Personal mods:
All of the above

it has a nice fast cocking handle, but i wish the cocking handle was located in front and underneath the gun ytou you can cock it like a shot gun

other than range issues, it is okay

actually agrx if you add the streme line darts wich are the one the longshot brings it might work better. ive seen a guy on you tube and hedid a rang test with the reguler darts and the stremeline darts the streme line darts are better but they might get jamed

well your welcome for th tip

ive modded every single one of my guns, and this, by far is the weakest of one

i hate using this since it gets absolutely nothing done in wars and it has god awful range even when modded

I agree with Reed, the darts themselves should glow in the dark, I’m sure they have the technology, but it may cost a bit more and not have as many buyers. Additionally, the Nerf company has already made it and are focusing on new guns and probably won’t change the darts soon. Finally, the flash is like in a camera and may take a couple of seconds to charge. You simply don’t let the flash charge before you fire.

Its been out for a while so it should be available at your local toy store. I know other models are being sold in singapore, but not 100% sure about the Firefly yet.

Overall I am pretty happy with the amount of ammo the firefly can hold. Having the 8 extra mounts for darts in the stock is pretty cool. The overall feel and balance of the firefly is nice too. Other things I liked was the speed of cocking and shooting, the rotating barrel, and the range was decent too.

Things I didn’t like was that it came with glow tape that supposedly goes on the darts to make them glow in the dark… only thing is the tape doesn’t stick very well to the darts and tends to make the dart too big to fit in the chamber. I wasn’t too happy with this, I mean… why didn’t they just make the foam on the dart glow in the dark? The other thing I didn’t like is the light in the barrel only flashes every couple pulls of the trigger, it’d be much cooler if it went off every pull.

Overall it is a decent nerf gun because its easy to shoot, can shoot fast, and can carry up to 16 darts.
