IT'S ACTUALLY GOOD!? NERF Elite 2.0 Turbine Full-auto Blaster Review
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 06. 2024
- Nerf Elite 2.0 is a trainwreck of design and value. Certainly the idea for Hasbro was to cut costs where they could and revitalize their products, but what emerged from the lab explosion was hardly recognizable and in virtually no way redeemable... until now. The Turbine will challenge your opinions on Elite 2.0 by being an extremely comfy, compact, $40 USD Full-auto blasters with looks that could make anyone swoon. This may be the only blaster from the line worth getting, but that doesn't mean it still doesn't have problems.

This blaster is what i wanted thank god nerf is trying to hang on to that best kids toys company name
Can we address that the enormous jam door is also apparently lacking a lock to prevent the flywheels running while it's open?
@@darklordofsword it's freaking huge bigger than the ultra 1 jam door
Looks good but still can’t understand why it doesn’t have accustrikes, I can’t imagine they’re actually that much more expensive to produce.
I miss the days of buying a Stampede and getting three 18 round stick mags to go with.
WearingGoldluck don’t we all.
And a foregrip and a shield and a 6 round mag
@v KEITH v good times
WearingGoldluck imma buy one
wasn't it also only like, $50 too?
So it’s a rapidstrike that shoots like a hyperfire? This is exactly what coop has wanted all along!
He'll be in for a treat then!

when i saw the single firing, i was like "ok wow, only single fire." but then i saw the full auto and was like "This is epic!"
It's definitely a lot better with the full auto option.
@@WalcomS7 yea
I thought it's either stampede or rapidstrike
BRRRRRRR BRBRBRBRRRRRRRRR BRBRBRBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Add a bypod for grip on the side sniper some and a laser

When there's an elite 2.0 blaster with screws holding it together, and more than just the main spring, I'm still not going to buy it because it's not happening. But I can almost guarantee when even ONE of us gets a spot in the design team for nerf things are going to get better. Hasbro thought they had nothing left to lose from the nerf brand, but if we all stand up to them we can take over this brand and fix it.
Um only the small 2.0 blasters don’t have screws, I got the shockwave and it had screws holding it together
The Warden had screws. It didn't even remotely come apart when I tried, though.
@@BeautifulGazelle06 Yeah some have that, but there's still clips and glue holding them together.
As a cube designer (someone who does CAD to make thier own rubiks Cubes) hasbro was not in the community space, now that they are doing rubiks ambassador programs I kinda wish they did it in this community because it just helps business.
@@WalcomS7 Yup, solvent weld I bet.
see its 40 dollars
for like 10 bucks more i could get a nexus pro
i'd rather have that
Entirely depends. You can have a Nexus Pro primary and a Turbine secondary. The turbine is small enough that's it's a competitive full-auto secondary.
@@WalcomS7 it would be kinda weird to have a rifle as a secondary though
I agree totally, and already have my nexus pro. Now I'm looking for a spectrum for a secondary to replace my stryfe and hammersot.
samuel burnham, people that use overkill in cod would disagree
@@rednovaproductions5247 well i don't play cod so i wouldn't know
Walcom: I don't have any rapidstrikes
Me: Sees rapidstrike in the background LOL
recto jose isada he’s not gonna open a sealed rapidstrike for a comparison
It might just be a box
Two things I want to note:
One: this thing doesn't have a jam door safety. You were holding the jam door open, pulling the trigger, and the pusher and flywheels still cycled.
Two: I think I know how they managed to get this thing symmetrical AND thin, and you're not going to like it...remember the pancake motors in the Stockade? EDIT: Apparently, you DO remember. I would put money on it using them...possibly even the same ones.
Meanwhile, Adventure Force has put out a Stryfe killer that hits 100+ out of the box.
Its not full auto though
I cant decide which to get
And I think is less than $40
I bought 4 for my household already waiting for them to show up
@@chikken_wangz5184
It can be faster if you got a good triggerfinger
The fact that this is the best the line has to offer and its main pluses are "the shell and rate of fire are nice" is kind of sad, really.
...I mean you have a point...
The Turbine is one of the Blasters that wants to compete with the Hyperfire,Rapidstrike and maybe the Infinus
It's cheaper to buy a HyperFire where I live and its just a better quality blaster compared to this
@@bookedsam in my opinion i like the turbine more than the hyperfire because i hate the ergonomics and has low range for me
@@johnlawrencebautista2270 Very true, the hyperfire's ergo is as bad as the crossbolts grip lol
It feels like our standards have fallen for the 2.0 line. After you put in the cost of the batteries it's about the same as a Nexus pro. It looks like a very attractive shell with significant of shortcomings. As a community we need to not be desensitized to the cost cutting corners Hasbro is using results lower quality product.
if you compare all blasters to the nexus pro, you're going to be extrememly disappointed with literally every blaster on the market.
The one thing it has going for it is full auto.
@@typehere6689 yeah but it sucks, bad range drop
@@typehere6689 I be shooting n-strike ranges my guy
Yea but for every buyer who cares about the future is greatly outweighed by 35 ding dongs who will buy anything and be happy with it
* elite 2.0 gets a good blaster *

*My* thoughts (and comment) almost exactly.
_Our_ thoughts (and comments) almost exactly
@@mangofactory.mp4 yes indeed comrade
@@mangofactory.mp4 COMMUNISM!!!!
The flywheels spinning faster when you hold down the trigger is the same as a rapidstrike, mine does the same thing. I think it’s for counteracting it slowing down
My younger brother got the Turbine for his birthday and we both love it! It has it's flaws when it comes to maintenance and modding, but since we don't do mods, it doesn't matter. It's an absolute blast and it's now tied with the Infinus for my favorite full-auto blaster!
Laughs in mk3
@sirifjfjdjsjdufjdjdjdcjcjd3157 I know it's been a year but the mk3 costs way too much money
It’s got almost everything I’d want in a full-auto rifle, it just looks too short for how tall it is. Maybe if a magazine holder was modded onto the back...
Nobody:
Iron sights: *are made of plastic*
No, no; they've got a point.
Plastic sights?
Wolfpack clone Trooper no, glass sights!!!! 😂
dersidm oh, that’s smart.
Wolfpack clone Trooper haha thanks 😂
glad you covered it and this one does have some nice looking things and battery tray is in the back and that is a great thing.
It's similar to how the Regulator was... and the same size essentially! Except it has a built-in stock.
After rewatching this, the Turbine grew on me. Still not sure I'll pick one up, but I can definitely see taking one to some kind of elevated position with a duffel bag of drum magazines and raining AF waffles with that rate of fire. I think it's a good choke point suppressor. Someone who really knows what they're doing with this can be really effective.
After so much time of debating getting anything from Elite 2.0 I finally convinced myself to buy one of these. I almost immediately nodded it to have a longer stock and added a thin layer of foam to where the knuckle of my thumb rests on the grip. Other than that this is a blaster I desire. Full auto and mag fed is my go to for nerf. It's comfy to hold, fires fast and far and so long as you look after it (because you can't open Elite 2.0 blasters) it will serve you well. I for one recommend this
I got 2 Dart Zone Spectrums for about what 1 Turbine would cost me.
I don't regret my decision.
Putting a pickle on a sh!t sandwich, doesn't change the fact that it's still a sh!t sandwich.
You can't mod it, and it has a stock that can't be extended.
Let's face it. Elite 2.0 is just more reshells of reshells from blasters that were done better years ago.
i want to see some of the classic air pump blasters i bought the new magstrike i love it and i also bought a As-6 hornet. i mean you can make an air powered blaster full auto sure you have to pump it but at least you don't have to replace batteries.
Well in this case the Turbine is technically better than the Rapidstrike, at least in my opinion.
Nerf is probably running low on ideas, just give them time to crank out some new stuff. What I really want is an Elite 2.0 Slingfire
Did you get a Spectrum in store or onlind
Kaleb Green don’t give them any ideas. They’ll just f*ck it up again.
walcom you should review the spectrum
without spoilers people are calling it the stryfe killer
(spoilers ahead)
it hits 100 fps stock
its fits nerf mags
it has a removable adjustable stock that can attach to the villinator stock
oh and did i mention that it is super cheap
I have one. It's coming later this week. More interested in the Sportsman.
I found a bunch at my local Walmart. I bought 2.
It IS a Stryfe-killer by any metric.
-adjustable (and removable) stock
-scope
-adjustable (and removable) foregrip
-is almost 100 fps out of the box
-has a 10 round magazine
-is $4-5 cheaper than the basic orange Stryfe
There is another blaster at the exact same price point at Walmart, from the same line, called the Sportsman.
It's a hopper-fed, 20 dart (can actually fit a few more), pump-action springer.
It's also awesome.
@@notacompleteidiot...1285 wow i actually didn't even know the sportsman existed
@@samuelburnham4515
I didn't either.
I bought 2 of them.
Basically pump-action Commandfires.
👍👍
the rant youre ranting about in the magazine chapter is so relatable
I recently got a rapid strike and a turbine, along with the “shotgun pistol” shell strike. I also took your advice on wafflehead darts and bought *200 of them for 10 BUCKS.* Ive loved them ever since. And I do say that that grip is damn near perfect for me too.
What something somewhat good from nerf 2.0 ?
The Trio is alright too.
The sling point on tbe top of the stock could be more like a belt style sling. Where the ends are flat and then buckle onto the belt itself
Definitely a possibility but feels out of place for a blaster as futuristic as this.
@@WalcomS7 ye
Thanks for the vid, just picked up three of these last night for my kids and I since Walmart had 'em for $20.
I really like how it looks, and I’m sure it has amazing ergonomics (considering just how it looks and you mentioning it a bunch), but two problems I have, and imma sound a lot like Coop772 here, is the grip size and stock length on nerf blasters. Half the time the grips are too small for me (I have incredibly long fingers), and that’s understandable, and besides I can get over those. But I can’t get over the stock lengths. Now obviously, the blasters are made for kids, and I’m a 6’4” 16 year-old. I personally really like there rapidstrike, and really began to love the stryfe and Regulator when I got two Worker stocks. Despite the amazing looks and pretty good performance of the turbine, I feel I would prefer the rapidstrike over it. But I won’t know until I get one myself, which, considering the Nexus Pro exists, won’t be anytime soon.
I'll reserve my judgment for when you show how difficult it is to get into
We'll get there, it's a 1000% chance I'll open this blaster.
i think youre forgetting that a lot of nerfers arent modders,
@@snorey1176 Kinda why I said, MY Judgement, not yours.
You forgot about the part where the blaster doesn't shut off when you open the jam door when you talked about the 2 weird things with the blaster
Flywheels spinning faster when you hold the trigger, the rapidstrike did that
I love the look and idea of this blaster. American Foam had a few problems so I was on the fence, but this is a little reassuring. I love short stocks so maybe I'll like the ergonomics. Thanks for the honest review walcom.
I tend not to watch other reviewers as to not color my own opinions, but I'll have to check out what issues he had.
@@WalcomS7 I understand that. Yeah he said the stock was way to short, the jam door broke off easily and the Rev trigger or mag release was really stuff (I forgot Wich one).
2:27 Holy heck, it’s Christmas
I’m doing a stryfe centurion integration rn and now the turbine is out and looks similar, (kind of?) but I like semi auto and performance that I can adjust by modding it so the turbine is a pass for me
It definitely is smaller. It's a tiny blaster, and we'll have to wait to see how it can be modded.
Ive been watching this guy forever. I dont play with nerf anymore but its so relaxing.
Hmmmmm
Walcom content week
Thank you Walcom for making by life way better with your reviews!
So much more coming!
The flywheels spinning slower during rev is normal for most stock auto Nerf blasters. The same thing applies to the original Rapidstrike.
I think the idea behind it keeps the motors reved but it doesnt make as much noise or use as much juice when youre waiting for the right moment to fire. Because its a complex circuit, they had the opportunity to do this little feature.
This basically means theyre completely repurposing the Rapidstrike circuit board.
Great review as always Walcom. The 2.0 line seems to be bit of a flop, except for this one, the rate of fire, but the motors? What are they? Looking forward to watching you separate the shell to see how much solvent welding Hasbro has added. Good luck buddy.
As someone pretty casual who doesn’t do much modding (I’ve done some springs and that’s it), not being able to open it wouldn’t bother me, so I just bought one.
The mag release really did annoy me. It killed the experience. So I decided to get rid of it. I literally took a box knife and sliced enough of the mag release tab off inside the mag well, that the mag now just slides over it.
I can’t speak for the consistency between blasters, but my mag well is so tight anyway that the lock and release were completely unnecessary. The detector lock that stops you from revving without a magazine clicks in and out when you push in and pull out a mag, and it’s more than enough on mine to keep the magazine in place, making the release lock functionally redundant.
Without the mag release tab, I can still shake the blaster, smack it, etc, and the mag doesn’t fall out, it only comes out when I give it a firm tug, like I already had to even when I pushed the release all the way in. I can now ignore the release entirely and the experience is 1000x better, this is actually a really fun blaster to use.
This gun looks cool! When you tested the flywheel it sounded like an adding calculator. Lol!
This could have and definitely should have been a slam dunk for Hasbro. One simple change would have made this blaster honestly perfect and maybe the best full auto we’ve gotten, in stock form that is. Hasbro you need to go with 6 batteries and 9 volts on a blaster like this. Having 6 C batteries would have extended the stock on this to be just long enough to at least be useable. It also would have fixed the issue on the flywheels getting bogged down and range dismally falling off. Please Hasbro keep this design, keep the front end the same, and just add two extra slots in the stock area. This will make this blaster an absolute home run.
I do like the blaster but the stock seems a little short for me, possibly a stampede stock integration? Not sure where I could find paint like that though it seems very specialized.
Stephen Guessford yeah. I agree
Did they do away with the white clear rubber shroud/skirt that was in the Rapidstrike between the dart and the flywheels that caused so many jams?
I have the Elite 2.0 Phoenix as well and I can confirm it's just as awesome as this one for a semi-auto
It's nice to have a full auto option out there.
I really dig the look of the Turbine,it looks incredibly SCI FI but practical.
Walcom the rapid strike also spun the fly wheels faster when you held down the trigger and its probably so the performance does not drop as much
If you give it a Phoenix scope and then paint a matching modulus vertical grip, as well as getting a barrel attachment, it looks super cool.
Problem: you can’t look down the scope because its in the back.
i love how all the Elite 2.0 blasters look, so, yeah
very disappointed about everything else though
at least the fast shooty works
more than i can say about the warden
My absolute favorite blaster is the nerf elite 2.0 Phoenix, I have 5 of them and one of them are staying in its package for collection purposes, and it can be modded.
Man, Walcom, I haven’t been around a while, but boy, have you changed. I hope you feel good. Must have been hard work!
Looks like the stampede Phoenix had a baby and this was their kid
I just got into nerf modding with my grandfather, and we play outside at 30-50 feet. What FPS is best for that range? Congrats on 100k
100-120 fps for 50 ft range. The stock elite 70 fps upper limit is 30 ft range.
Rival is pretty good at 30-50 feet.
From the leaks when I saw this blaster I liked it. Love the elite 2.0 design but man some of these parts are cheap. But the rapidstryke with full auto sounds amazing. Can’t wait to see mods this thing will be like the rapidstryke made by dart zone
1:58 I love the sound it makes in full auto!
I'm leery of the turbine, it was the second blaster I was interested in after the Warden. But for $40 I'd be more willing to get the motostrike.
I'm jazzed about the motostrike
Ok honestly the motostryke is no better
Walmart has rapid strikes for 20 bucks, just saying
That's cool. I'm hyped to get to the part where you shoot it. *edit* nice rate of fire. Clean
The PERFECT rate of fire. I'd love this full auto combined with a slightly faster 3-shot burst and a semi-auto function. That's why I own FDLs though.
@@WalcomS7 Yeah! Full select fire would have been so nice
I got this blaster at Walmart because with was the only flywheel I saw and man did it outperform my expectations
Love the video. Would you recommend me buying a Turbine or a Hyperfire?
The flywheels spin faster when you’re dry firing the blaster, the rapid strike also has this and it has confused me a bit as well
As some one who wants to learn more about mods this blaster holds no interest from me. I would have loved to use the shell for mods but not if it's a total pain to open.
WS7
This looks pretty cool for a stock blaster. It is amazing you can still be super enthusiastic about a blaster line that has been historically inferior. Thanks gling at this in a calm constructive manner. Thanks for being you. Keep up the freat work.
Nice enough blaster will get when i can hopefully in a few weeks, as it's 40 pounds on amazon uk. Good review.
huh, WalcomS7 seems to rate thumbhole stocks as a good thing...
I think they're a bad thing...limits wrist motion too much for me when moving stuff around...
When I saw how good it was I just opened my eyelids as wide as it could go
I got one of these for only $7 at Savers. It’s a fun blaster. I’ve wanted a full auto since I was 12 and 12 year old me is very happy.
This is like the diamond in the rough in the Elite 2.0 line. Also love the Bubblegum Crisis shirt.
Elite 2.0! Reskins and *Very* bad Blasters or maybe...? *turbine has joined the chat* *warden has left the chat* Turbine: wait im too good... Why am i in this series? Other elite 2.0 Blasters:.we wish we were you buddy
the *only* reason I'm not liking this video right now is because the likes are 69. I'm going to like it after someone changes it
Edit: Ok it's not at 69 anymore so I liked it
lol
Reddit moment
Nice
My hands were in heaven when i first hold the Elite 2.0 Slyshot (little pistol with three Elite darts for 4 Euros idk how many dollars that is), i know how that feels Walcom, its fantastic
Great video!! Keep it up fuzzy!!! I agree the turbine is amazing considering the elite 2.0 line.
No kidding, it completely blew my standards.
Definitely the best elite 2.0 blaster........................................................but it is still too late to save the line.
Unfortunately
Yeah... it's a bad take from Hasbro. Cutting corners and completely forsaken your brand's quality was a terrible move and Dart Zone is capitalizing hard on it.
Walcom S7 Damn right!
I am still not going to buy it. The Dart Zone Spectrum shoots faster and is half the price. So for the price of one Turbine your could dual wield Dart Zone Spectrums. Which hit over 100 fps out of the box.
6:33
The old stampede nailed that, 3 18 round mags and since it’s full auto, it makes a lot of sense
Love your shirt bro. Love Bubblegum Crisis. Good review on blaster..
Don't buy this, whether you like the look or not it sends Hasbro a message if even one Elite 2.0 blaster sells really well, they'll keep cheaping out and making them non mod friendly. It's good to see a positive Elite 2.0 review but i honestly can't see why...it's got a faster rate of fire and thats about it. Can't mod it, tac rail's in a useless spot, mag release is too hard to press and finicky, doesn't come with two mags even though they give two mags worth of darts (yes i know thats a new thing with Elite 2.0 but still), jam door is cheap asf. Too many cons to really outweigh the pros.Nice review though
You have to know only 1% of the modding community makes up nerf also it's a pretty compact full auto blaster with a good rate of fire the 40 dollar price tag is kind of too much though for what it's worth. However, if it's on sale for 30 or 25 bucks it's a steal
Chikken_Wangz I’m obviously talking to the mod community, I’m on a Walcom video, not a Coop video. Plus some of the drawbacks of this affect their target demographic aswell...kids. The price is high, the jam door is unsafe for kids and the hard to press mag release isn’t suited for kids either.
@Alfie Stokes Alright mate, go enjoy your turbine and Elite 2.0
@@TeamBringIt8 yo i press the mag release perfectly fine
The way i fix the mag release problem is sacrificing a second and switching the fingers, then doing it with my thumb
this blaster sounds like Roblox sound effects for the nerf game
Does sound pretty wimpy.
Recommend me the long strike or the echo because today I’m getting the turbine, eagle point, and the echo or long strike
I watch Coop too, but i love that you ain't that picky and need 300 years for next vid
excuse me *w h a t*
PLEASE ELITE 2.0 BE LIKE THIS
Damn it. I WANTED MORE RAGE!!!
Patience.
Ok i bought a turbine i used it and the ergonomics is the best because my hands are almost walcoms size of hand and the rate of fire i cant stop it its amazing
'We'll give you twice as many darts but one magazine' - Has-bro It would be interesting to see how you take apart a solvent welded blaster to see what motors are in the slim design. I almost picked this up. Still could. I have a Rapidstrike CS-18 and AccuStrike Stratohawk 25 drum that get jammed a lot it seems like it's not rev-ing enough even though the new Energizer Max batteries are tested and in the green at 75%. I could try Duracel's. Coop's Stratohawk firing demo was impressive. He uses amazon Basics non rechargeables but who knows how long they perform. Good to see your Duracel's worked. One thing I like about Rivals is rechargeable batteries. I looked into rechargeable brands. Obec, EBL, and Rayhorn get good reviews. Energizers are good but not as good as those.
Personally I still say no, I can't support any of the 2.0 line. I'm glad to see you enjoy it though.
But it's still unmodable. Sooooo that out of the box is all its ever gonna be.
It's not, "unmoddable". Just a pain in the ass to mod it. In the Turbine's case, that's worth.
I was going to pick this up but the mag release is terrible and I will absolutely want to replace the spring for it. So I’m looking into how to crack the blaster open for mods and repairs before I buy it.
Is a very cool blaster !!! I can't wait for him to come to my house in France !
I love how big the battery tray is, it allowed me to put 2 18650 batteries in it and overvolt it to 7.4 volts. It fires alot faster, like 100 rounds per minute faster. Edit: yes it can still single fire.
I was really excited for this line mostly for the aesthetics and i still am but less excited and more cautiously optimistic now.
It's definitely more in the, "cautiously optimistic" category.
How do batteries work in these exactly? Do they like get weaker at shooting exponentially or just stop at some point?
I'm no pro modder, but you could use an al, I'm pretty sure that's the name, and drill in some holes gently then saw out sections, instead of the gruesome full shell separation since it has glue.
I found the best way to reload both the 2.0 phoenix and the turbine is by extending your trigger finger straight and press it like a doorbell even though you have to kind of change your grip it's a smooth process
I got this about 4 months ago and was shocked they made 18 dart mags so I bought it for the magazine (I was only just getting into nerf) but I then realised I bought it for the blaster and not the mag or mag release
I haven’t owned a nerf gun for 2 years I believe and this was the first one I bought and this is pretty awesome nerf gun
shouldering it is the main reason I don't like integrated stocks like that, I'm the kind of person that doesn't like firing without some way to stablize my shots, it's why I wish I could find my old Recon CS-6 cuz despite how flimsy it is the stock length is perfect for me
Just got this for my birthday and the only thing annoying is the mag release. I’ve found a way around it but it’s not easy. I just used drum mags from my old nerf raiders and for some reason the mag release was easier to use with it.
I think they made it rev faster when the trigger is down to give about the same velocity as you would be shooting single bc shooting in full auto usually slows the velocity down. Big brain move hasbro
I got one of these for $30 + $8 for the c cell batteries, but I LOVE it!
if the blaster had more rails and was easy to open and mod, I think this would be a great option for almost everyone
