Originally, I could only comment on the N Series (and you’ve seen a couple reviews posted so far for the ).

The Infinite is the flagship of the first blaster wave, and for $40, it’s a hard blaster to criticize. It works as advertised, features a cool ammo capacity/reloading setup, and isn’t a rehash of old designs.

In retrospect, several things have surpassed it, but for the time, at least, the score of 10/10 was well deserved. Four years later, Dart Zone and Walmart have revamped the line!

If you’ve been watching social media from either , you’ve seen posts referring to new gear and different shades…and infection outbreaks. Some people even found the Kickstarter early based on the clues and got in on the Super Early specials. today is launch day for the SCRD Kickstarter! This line of brightly colored tactical gear is aimed at bringing back the sillier side of the hobby, seeing as so much tactical gear in existence (be it from airsoft, paintball, or more recent foam-flinging setups) is in dark colors.
