My ProChrono Digital chronograph measured the speed of the darts fired (at peak rev) by this stock Nerf N-Strike Modulus Ghost Ops Evader blaster (yes, the names are getting longer) at an average of 77 feet per second (FPS) using the batteries that it came with. I installed fresh alkaline batteries (4x Duracell AA 1.5v) and the average jumped a smidge to 79 FPS. For both results I used Nerf Elite darts (it is capable of shooting any standard Nerf Elite darts; blue, green, white, orange, purple/grey, Starwars themed, Accustrike, and decorated Rebelle darts). The standard average velocity of a Nerf Elite blaster is 70 FPS, so it exceeds the average by a considerable margin within the Nerf Elite line. The light show that the Nerf engineers managed to string through the transparent plastic shell is something aftermarket manufacturers have been recently doing (like the Worker “Swordfish”), but Nerf has been making see-through blaster shells before anyway; reference the Sonic and Sonic-Fire/ Ice series of the now defunct Toys R Us line. The green LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights look very cool in the dark, and pretty cool even in the day. There is an LED light in the front barrel that shines through the clear barrel attachment, and a switch shuts it off when it senses that your barrel is removed. The inner-lit tubes that glow solid green look like glow sticks when the large transparent orange button is pressed on the front handle. This handle has a waffle-like panel in it that really shows off the green led light when activated. This front handle grip also has a circular thumb hole in it, and while this may be the perfect size for people with very small hands to use, people with larger hands will find the thumb hole irritatingly small. Those with large hands will find holding the entirety of the handle grip much more comfortable, but people with regular-sized hands may find both the hole grip and the full handle grip uncomfortable (either too big or too small). The Evader comes with a left side oriented mag well, well, you need to assemble it. A fair warning though: once attached, it does not come off unless you pop it off with a screwdriver through the jam access door. Speaking of the clear and slotted jam access door, the lights stay on even when door is open. This should have gone unsaid, but most things in the Nerf Universe shut off the moment the jam access door is opened, so this was an oddity that just caught me a little off guard. This design screams Spec-Ops class (hence being called Ghost-Ops) and it is styled like an SMG. The batteries are located in the rear of the blaster and can be readily seen through the shell, as are the flywheels, the circuit boards, wires, levers, and everything else. These internals look very similar to the Nerf Elite Stryfe, but apparently they are closer in relation to the Nerf StarWars First Order [Heavy Gunner] StormTrooper Deluxe blaster (okay, so the names are getting way too long) in that it has the exact same magazine-lock mechanism found in this StarWars blaster. I have found an issue with the batteries shaking around in the battery tray, making the glowing lights flicker when I am holding the light button down. This is a concern when operating the blaster, because you need to have power at all times, not just of the blaster is held the right way at the right angle. In regard to jams, there were none during my testing. Anyway, moving on, the ergonomics of the main pistol grip is average and comfortable enough, but the tapered aesthetic flat bar connecting the rear of the blaster with the base of the handle feels like it is in the way of my wrist. The rev trigger is comfortable but very large in comparison to the Stryfe or StormTrooper blasters. The mag/drum release button is the same as the Raider/Rampage/ StormTrooper(s)/ Mediator, or any side-mounted magazine well type blaster. The transparent orange main trigger operates as expected, yet, I wonder if the plastic will become brittle over time like the transparent plastic of the aforementioned Sonic Series blasters. The rear of the Evader has a Nerf attachment point that allows some cross-compatibility with most Nerf shoulder-stocks you to if you want. There are 3 Nerf tactical rails: one located top dead center for an optic, one on the right side near the front for a flashlight or side-mounted scope, and one on the bottom of the blaster, err, for... whatever you wish to connect underneath your blaster (???). There are 3 sling-mount attachment points: the 1st is right behind the barrel, the 2nd is also on the top of the blaster, but it is in the back by the shoulder-stock area, and the 3rd underneath the pistol grip. The latter two stand out because they are orange bars with sharp “hair-pin turn” shapes like a sideways “V.” For the aspiring young modders out there, I am fairly certain that the sensitive circuitry of this blaster will not be able to handle voltage modifications (Hasbro/Nerf frowns upon modifications to their products) without the proper checks and balances and electrical knowledge, expertise, or know-how to safeguard the circuitry from utter annihilation. The Nerf Elite Regulator’s circuit board was prone to frying, rendering it’s select-fire function useless, and it is highly likely that the [equally new to the Evader] Infinus blaster’s dart loading function will also be controlled by a sensitive circuit board that is unprotected (that is, once you remove the thermistor). In conclusion, this cool Ghost-Ops line blaster is a welcomed addition now that the Toys R Us Sonic series line is bowing out. I am not impressed by the Evader’s batteries rattling around in the battery tray, which I find a bit sloppy. But aside from this, “in light” of the design (pun intended), I will give credit where it is due. Good job, Nerf designers. I look forward to other clear blasters with anti-stealth night time tactics [here is hoping for a glowing sniper rifle type blaster].
