Nerf N-Strike Elite Stryfe: says no to Firefly..

One of the 'features' of the Nerf N-Strike Elite Stryfe is it's 'intelligent' sensor bars inside the magazine well that detects if there's a clip fed with darts in there or not. Basically if it can't detect a clip, it won't allow you to activate the flywheels, and if the clip is detected as empty, the trigger will lock up. I'm assuming it's a safety thing, but it seems to be independent to just the Stryfe (do correct me if I'm wrong here)


It's a feature that can be kinda annoying for anyone who wants to use a non-Elite clip with their Stryfe (including the larger capacity drums) as they seem to be weaker in how they push the dart into position to fire, rendering the Stryfe to 'think' the clip is empty. I personally haven't used a non-Elite clip with the Stryfe to date so it wasn't really an issue that affected me- till today:P More after the jump...




It turns out the new N-Strike Elite Rayven CS-18's bright green Firefly clip is pretty much the same as the original beige coloured one in build and design, so much so that it causes the same issue with the Stryfe as all non-Elite clips do. I was locking up all over the place and had to continue to open the jam door and push the dart back in place to fire, only to have to repeat this constantly. It's interesting because obviously for OTHER N-Strike Elite blasters (including the updated Rayven) this isn't a problem and they fire older clips fine.

The solution most people have been doing is just popping open their Stryfe's and manually removing these 'sensor' bars, or if you don't want to do that, the trick of just pushing some tape down the clip well and taping the bar down does well too (what I ended up doing). Now my Stryfe fires non-Elite clips fine, and more importantly, can take the new Elite Rayven's Firefly clip.


I do think it's a bit weird though that Nerf haven't considered this holistically- the Rayven CS-18 is now an Elite blaster, it comes with Elite darts, but it's clip has compatibility issues with one of its Elite brothers? More so that some of the images of the Firefly clip we've seen clearly state it's supposed to be compatible with the Stryfe!
