"Cool gun..."

So this is the Nerf firefly that everyone has been talking about.
The firefly (Nerf Firefly Rev-6 as to speak) has eight shots, a flash ability, and extra ammo holders. Hmm...
Well, first let's talk about the gun structure. It's bigger than I would have thought. The stock goes up against my shoulder. But bulkness is needed in this gun to store the eight ammo holders, I guess. It's extremely sturdy. (No nerf gun of mine has every broke!) However, there are one part that are not needed (In my opinion). Have you every seen the firefly? There is a pretty big gap where you hold the trigger and handle. I wonder what that's for? Support or something? Maybe you're supposed to put your other hand there...
Now for it's special abilites. The firefly (Nerf Firefly Rev-6 as to speak) has eight shots, a flash ability, and extra ammo holders. Hmm...
The eight shots are pretty useful, especially if you're under fire. Most Nerf guns have six shots or so. (Clips hold 6 bullets I think) However, the ammo that comes with it is not too good. Mine almost got lost more times than my orange ones. You're supposed to add these glowy stickers to it. But that decreases the range by like 3 feet. However, the stickers do do their job well. Even if it's not very dark, you can see them glow in reaction to the flash(I'll get to the flash later) It's your choice whether or not to put the stickers on. If you don't, the tips glow(The suction part thingy). The ammo itself has bad range. It fires like 3 less feet than the orange ammo. With the orange ammo I can fire farther than my Maverick. ;) Just try to use the orange ammo if you can. (I can't)
Now for the flash ability. It's much brighter than I expected it to be. If it's not dark, you can still see the flash from your point of view. (You're seeing the back of the gun, not the barrel where the flash comes from) It charges up the darts really well. My friend told me that he was blinded by it before (Not forever! Just for a couple of seconds). Well, the flash would be really unexpected if you're playing at night. the flash requires two double a batteries. (AA) It actually doesn't use up too much batteries.
The ammo holders are useful too. In the heat of battle you can pick up ammo and put it there. If you're out of ammo, you have an extra clip in your gun ready. USEFUL! But that's what's it was made for, I guess. However, the ammo holders have a drawback. First of all, you can't put streamers (The ammo for the longshot and recon) in it or they'll slide out. The other thing is if you turn the gun upside down, the ammo can fall out easily. The last thing is that it's kinda hard to reload with ammo in your ammo holder. It's good, just be wary.
The gun is actually harder than I thought it would be to cock it. And a note: the trigger is rather hard to pull for me, so I recommend using your index and middle finger.
That's it!
Sorry if there's any mistakes ;(

This nerf gun is a must have. Works great for hit and runs.
Pros: This gun will work with both micro darts and darts with suction cups. Built in dart holders make it easy for someone to have an easy refill.
Cons: I personally think that it is somewhat hard to refill the gun quickly, but for quick refillers this is no sweat.

I bought this as my first nerf gun years ago thinking that it would be able to beat a longshot because it is topheavy, and a maverick because it's small. I was wrong, and with this gun, I was thoroughly beaten by my dad (with the maverick) and my little brother (who had the longshot). The maverick is cheaper, lighter, easier to cock , shoots farther than the the firefly, and you can retain a normal run while carrying it. All in all, I think I'll be borrowing my dad's maverick instead.

Hello. I purchased this Nerf firefly two days ago. It came today. I was so happy when it came! I tried it out. Lots of power, easy to use and has a great feeling. The only miner problem I have had is the glow darts only glow if the batteries are in and if it is REALLY dark. The darts also only glow for a few seconds. Hope you enjoyed!
