Say Hello To The Next Generation of Full-Auto Greatness

For Nerf lovers who are looking for a true battle experience, the Nerf Stampede ECS-50 is sure to turn you into a real warrior. The Stampede ECS is a fully automatic rifle, so you no longer have to stop to load your ammo and cock the gun to fire: Simply insert the clip, pull the trigger, and the gun blasts out an amazing 3 darts per second. By combing the ease of the automatic system with some awesome accessories in the Stampede ECS, Nerf has raised the bar yet again!

It Looks, Feels Like a Man's Nerf Gun

This gun is made with realism of combat in mind and the accessories make it perfect for all sorts of battle situations. One of the best things about the Stampede is that it is designed so you can use it for either stealth or offensive attacks. The included bipod functions as both a stand, so you can stay stationary and attack your friends from the ground, and as a handle, so you can walk and shoot at the same time. You can shift from attack to defensive mode with the blast shield that helps you fend off attacks from your friends. The package includes three extended 18-dart clips and one 6-dart clip, so you have plenty of darts on hand and a quick and easy way to reload them.

The Stampede ECS is a great gun for fans that enjoyed the N-Strike Vulcan and Recon CS-6, as both dart guns have features similar to the Stampede. The Vulcan is similar in function, as it also is a fully automatic Nerf gun, and the Recon shares a similar grip and clip location.

Almost Too Big?

The Stampede is one of the larger Nerf guns out there, comparable in size to the Vulcan, so it’s recommended mainly for older people.

The drawback to this blaster is it may also end up being more expensive to own and operate as it does require 6 D batteries that aren’t included in the package. However, this really isn't a factor for most Nerfers.

What is The Stampede Good For?

What exactly is this blaster good for? For one (and this is a BIG one), it happens to be a great companion piece in an arsenal of mainly smaller guns, as it adds bulk and power to the collection, as well as speed.

All in all, Nerf has really outdone itself with the Stampede ECS. It is their second fully automatic dart gun, and is focused on making it feel like you have the real thing. The gun even gives a little kick back while you’re firing, adding to the fun and realism of firing such a large gun.

Another thing to note, is that by having the darts loaded through clips, instead of ammo belts (like the Vulcan), you don’t have to waste time with loading the clip into the gun, or worry about the clip itself jamming the gun while moving around - which the ammo belt on the Vulcan was notorious for doing. With the Stampede, the loading of darts is left solely to spring loaded tension of the clip, instead of a clunky gear box.

Nerf Stampede For Sale

The Stampeded ECS is perfect to add to your collection of Nerf guns, and is fun for both kids and adults, and a must buy for any Nerf fan.

    I think nerf is making to many auto guns its not really in the name of nerf to have all these guns the barricade, stamede and now the new dart tag automatic one (google sgnerf this is not my website but i love it) this one guy has the new nerf dart tag

    It’s way better than the vulcan. but it’s really expensive, but it does come with a lot of stuff. 10/10 really good, I recommend it exspecialy to people with bad aim. It goes about 25-30 feet.

    Oh and it actually does fire 3 darts per second. if u are quick enough u can fire 3 darts per second on the raider or alpha trooper; but it is more likely to jam.

    The stampede is an excellent choice.
    with a string you can dual wield it.
    with the bipod you can stand you ground or launch an all out charge against the enemy and unleashing a havoc never seen by a single gun.

    this gun is excellent for starters and for elder nerf users.

    I have not used this gun, but one thing I will say is that the barricade feature is stupid. It just makes the gun more bulky. While any velocity mods to this gun will be complicated, I’m excited to see its potential. A more powerful spring with a gearing change (would decrease ROF) or motor upgrade (ROF same or better) could turn this thing into a force of nature!

  17. stampede owner:

    Commented on December 3rd, 2010 at 5:31 am.

    READ FULLY FOR OVERALL DETAILS OF THE STAMPEDE (if you want REAL reasons to buy this!): I want to set a disclaimer to you all, that the stampede DOES NOT SUCK at all, by any serious terms. yes, it is quite the investment in Nerf than ever before, but for around $42-$45, you get very much; you’ll get the foregrip that goes on the rails, but it also works in an instant as a bipod (just press the button) and also a riot shield, which protects a portion of you, and has a net sight that gives you a visor to see through, while still keeping your head safe from frontal assaults. you get 60 clip system darts, one 6-shot clip, and THREE extended clips, holding 18 darts! overall, far better than the Vulcan, practically becoming the replacement of it. however, a note to remember is it does require 6 D batteries as I recall it was, and do keep in mind the shoulder stock is rather heavy due to the batteries, making it more of a heavy fire gun, not a rushing or quick pace running gun, a powerful gun to wield. still, far better deal than Vulcan, which only comes with a tripod, and one 25-shot chain put into a drum to hold the chain. no, it DOES NOT JAM, its systematically made so when you pull the trigger, it only fires off one round each pull, or you hold down for full auto, it naturally returns to its safe position the moment its done the dart it shot. plus, a special feature similar to the switch on the Vulcan, it has a safety. but, its conveniently on the side, similar to an actual gun. there’s fire, and off, in other words it won’t fire, nor use battery energy. also, a special sensor system so it will ONLY SHOOT, if there is a CLIP INSIDE. it will not fire if you say put one streamline dart in there. anyways, I hoped you got a good understanding of it, and can choose wisely and knowledgeably!

    it has a lot of convenient pockets and is specially designed for holding reload clips and darts!

    I have both the Vulcan and the Stamped. I like them both but I use the Vulcan for a bunker gun in my house and the Stamped I use for assaulting my friends. I paid $55 for the Vulcan and $39.99 for the Stampede. I am thinking about buying a second Stampede as it is a very well made gun and has yet to jam on me even with a 500RPM mod that makes this thing just silly. The Vulcan has been replaced and this is not that heavy even for a young kid.

    I also have a few friends that come to the field by where I live and we play Nerf Wars and well just about everyone is getting or has a Stampede along with more ammo then you can shake a stick at and a pistol or two.

    The Stampede is a must have for the kid young or old, and you can find it for under $40 if you just look a little.

    Ive just got the Stampede for Christmas and I love it.(Even though Idont have 6D batteries)(<–fail) One things first,The stampede nor the vulcan is better,It solely depends on what you like to do.
    People, I,m sorry if you think its expensive but its only $44, its not that much.This gun is well built and light,wich is good for small peoplez.The bad things about this gun(its not perfect)The 18 dart clip doesent realy work with the bipod,but thats why it has grips on the bottom,but,"BAM" its a monopod. Also the shield gets in the way of the scope.Another thing, If you get this gun buy REACHARGEABLE batteries so you dont kill like 100 dollars worth of Ds in a month.

    Note All of you who think one nerf gun is the best, YOU SUCK,It depends on how you use the gun.

    My recon fires farther and more accurate than this gun. It’s just a close range support machine gun, I think. You can’t snipe, but you can mow down people in the open, and keep others in cover. The bipod is almost useless with the long 18 clip, since it’s barely longer than the extended. Also (IMPORTANT) it takes about a second to fire the first round (the motor needs to get up to speed). Don’t ambush with this. It’s meant to be used in the open.

    I’m sorry to burst most people’s bubbles, but the stampede jams. I have it, and to be honest, I bought it just two days ago, and it’s jammed about 5 times. It’s not the best. Despite most of youse guys’ comments, the Spectre is the best. I can shoot faster with my spectre, it’s softer with my spectre, it’s not as expensive with the Spectre, it’s lighter with my spectre, and it’s more accurate with my Spectre. And the spectre is versatile, like the Recon. (Except the Recon stinks – I have it as well, and it’s the worst). Spectre is better than this. Although, when I got it, I couldn’t resist looking at the huge box, with the extra 40 darts, AND on sale. Who wouldn’t? But it’s not as great as it seems. I’m givin it a 7/10.

    If you use the Vulcan correctly, it is WAY better than the Stampede. You can fire one shot with the Vulcan almost silently. A perfect sniper with the tripod. The Stampede cannot do that. If you think the Vulcan is too heavy, MAN UP! If that is too hard for you, stand in front of my Vulcan with your Nitefinder and see who wins. I can reload faster with my Vulcan than most people (not those people who can do things like speed stack cups in 6 seconds, but you catch my drift) can with their Stampedes. The Stampede jams like crazy. If you use the ammo box (using it correctly) it will never jam. If you don’t believe me about any of this, challenge me to a NERF WAR. Stampede vs. Vulcan. Personally, I don’t think you’ll win.

    I made a strap for mine since it is quite bulky once all 6(!) D-Cells are in. I used a strap from a Mini laptop bag and connected them to the Stampede via some mini carbiners from Wal-Mart, and voila, easy to carry! I use the 35 dart drum from my Raider and it did not jam. Works quite nicely, 18 darts is okay, but having 35 on tap is a lot better. I find the riot shield unwieldy, so I just use the gun without it. The drum works perfect with the Bipod since it does not stick down as far as the 18 dart extended mag which sticks down farther than the bipod, rendering it useless. Overall, decent range and firing rate. This gun definitely does not suck. I got mine on clearance at Target for $25. Well worth it!

    Guys you do realise that putting batteries in the fridge for a couple of days recharges them. After about 50 recharges they start to run out quicker but it will only cause problems after about 250 recharges then they start running out in about half the amount of time it takes for brand new batteries to run out. Hope this helps.

    If you want to use the raider clip you need to hold it left handed and it looks absolutely awesome with the longshot clip attached!

    The only reason i load up on nerf guns is cuz my parents are dead overprotective and im probably never going to be allowed to own an airsoft gun. nerf guns are still fun.

    No, your stampede loses batteries.
