Doomlands 2169 Vagabond Blaster (Multi-Colour)

According to my son, "I love it!" Has the quality that you would expect from the Nerf brand. Doesn't jam and is the envy of his friends!

Looks and works great. Our son really loves it.

First off, this is not a strongarm reshell. Under examination of the internals, it is apparent that this is actually a Rebelle Guardian Crossbow reshell. The slam fire function for the Vagabond and Guardian are nowhere near as clean and crisp as the Strongarm's (or the Zombiestrike Flipfury, or the Rebelle Spylight, or the Elite Rampage, etc.). This is probably because the internal mechanism needs to reset itself before the next shot can be fired off, forcing the user to wait by seizing up that tenth of a second before it can be primed again for another shot. Both blasters can use the same Elite darts (blue, green, white, orange, and decorated Rebelle darts). I measured the dart Velocities of all the said blasters on my trusty Prochrono Digital chronograph, and have found the Vagabond to have an average feet per second (FPS) of 63. I believe it could be better than that if not for the fact that one chamber sounded defective (made an odd popping sound and consistently gave a rating in the high 40s/low 50s FPS range), but a couple other chambers produced better results (71 and 72 FPS, respectively). Interestingly enough, using the exact same darts my Guardian Crossbow's rating using the same darts just produced similar results (even one 49 FPS shot) but came out with an average at 64 FPS. Stock, this blaster is stronger than it's brethren, the Doomlands 2169 Lawbringer, but it is not so easy to modify. The Lawbringer just needs to be opened up and an Orange Mod Works 8kg spring swapped in it. The Vagabond and Guardian require more work because of their sealed plunger cup design, which is a pain to have to take apart and reassemble (it is not that it cannot be done if you are willing to go the extra mile for a small gain, it's just that it may not be worth it). The Vagabond has several unnecessary barrel holes at the tip for show, and one oversized one on top (which decreases the chance that the darts will rub up against it and lose kinetic energy; obviously it would make ranges shorter if it were otherwise) this is the only true barrel hole used on the blaster, and the darts do not seem to touch it as they are launched. Ergonomics: both the handle grip and the pump-action priming handle are hefty and comfortable for people with any-sized hands. There are two very thick sling points on both ends of the blaster, and one tactical rail in the middle on top to put an optic sight or perhaps an ammo rack (see my LaserGnomes 8-round dart holder in the picture below, Google Laser Gnomes for the website if you like it too). I don't think I mentioned it, but anyway this is currently a Target exclusive item that I purchased online from their website. Buyers beware, do not purchase this with an inflated price tag. Go to Target or wait for it to come down when released at other stores.

this came in real handy during a nine month deployment to Afghanistan since we're not allowed to use our real weapons for LITERALLY ANYTHING.

I was looking forward to buying this gun, but it was broken when I got it. It was upsetting to be so exited to only upon the first use, it wouldn't work as any nerd gun should. When I cocked it it would slip into place. Then when I pulled the trigger, it would not even fire! I wish I could replace this one with one that might actually work!

I love it. It's giant and shoots well. I like using nerf guns for costume conventions.

Nerf gun! Who doesn't need a nerf gun?

The look is awesome, but this thing didn't work at all! I don't know what happened, but it never fired a single dart—right out of the box! We returned ours for a full refund.

Some weeks ago I bought the Nerf Doomlands Vagabond. It is a mix between the Nerf Roughcut and the Nerf Strongarm. It holds 6 darts in the cylinder and you strain the spring with pump action. The way you can move the pump grip is a little bit shorter as with the Nerf Raider / Rampage. I like the optic. You can do some nice postapocalyptic paintsjobs on the blaster and some modifications are also possible. It fits well in Nerf Doomlands series. The style is similar to the Nerf Lawbringer. I hope Hasbro will keep the Doomlands series going. The shooting is fine and stronger as with the Lawbringer. A little drawback is that you have to reload after 6 shots. But in my opinion this fits to the overal style.

Lo acabo de recibir (envío perfecto por parte de Amazon, como siempre) y no me he podido resistir a probarlo... y como reza el título de éste comentario: es muy divertido jugar con ella. No necesita pilas ya que funciona por muelle, en la parte inferior tiene "corredera" para cargar la escopeta, y basta apretar el gatillo para disparar uno de los seis dardos que tiene. Cargar los dardos en el tambor es muy fácil gracias a los "canales" que le han puesto. En definitiva, es una gozada sacar de la caja y empezar a jugar... y lo mejor es hacer el movimiento de carga, ¡muy chulo!. Aparentemente no dispara tan fuerte como una pistola que ya tenemos (la strongarm) pero los dardos llegan lejos, siempre hablando de jugar dentro de casa, claro. No es un lanzadardos muy preciso, sobretodo teniendo en cuenta que, por su forma y caracteristicas: no esta pensado para apuntar y disparar con precisión, pero al ser precisamente una "escopeta" hace que su manejo sea diferente y muy divertido. Esta bien construida, es robusta y a mi me gustan los colores y la ventana trasparente que tiene: se puede ver el funcionamiento del mecanismo interno cuando haces el movimiento de carga... ¡simplemente genial!. Se nota que me ha encantado, se la iba a reglar a mi hijo pero... ¡me la quedo yo! jejeje... ya le compraré otra, si eso... Resumiendo, si no tienes ninguna escopeta de Nerf, esta es perfecta para probar. Además, por los 13,72€ que me ha costado, vale la pena. Saludos!

La recensione è più per il venditore che per il blaster in se. Spedizione veloce efficiente e imballaggio perfetto. Tutti i pezzi ordinati sono arrivati in condizioni eccellenti. Sul blaster Vagabond c'è poco da dire perchè è un pezzo da collezione. In effetti è una Strongarm o un Disruptor con una canna più lunga e che ha il caricamento come un fucile a pompa. E' presente anche la funzione slam fire. Acquisto consigliato.

La grande classe ce nerf gun ! Beau et facile à utiliser, peut-être dommage qu'il ne stocke que six fléchettes alors que son gabarit est assez conséquent ? Ceci dit, les performances sont au rendez-vous.

Habe auf dieses Nerf-Model schon länger gewartet und nun endlich bestellt. Versand war super fix in 2 Tagen war das gute Stück da. Zum Blaster an sich. Geliefert wird der Blaster sowie ein Satz Darts. Weiteres Zubehör gibt es nicht. Der Blaster hat aber auch nur eine kleine Rail an der man das übliche Nerf Zubehör montieren könnte. Und das sieht generell sehr fehl am Platz aus. Optisch ist die Vagabond in meinen Augen in vielerlei Hinsicht schon eine Wucht. Kein hässliches Digi-Camo (findet sich auf praktisch allen Blastern der N-Strike bzw. Elite Reihe), keine unsinnige „Griffwickel“ wie in der ZombieStrike Reihe. Optische Elemente sind etwas an Retro Scifi-Western orientiert aber nicht übertrieben. Die Optik wirkt insgesamt aufgeräumt nicht überladen … fast „erwachsen“. Das Sichtfenster aus klarem Kunststoff durch das man die Technik betrachten kann ist noch ein kleine I-Tüpfelchen. Sehr schön gemacht Der Blaster ist solide verarbeitet, er knarzt und hakelt nicht. Ergonomisch ist dieser Blaster top. Alle Griffelemte sind gut proportioniert und auch für Erwachsene gut zu greifen. Der Griff sowie der Pumphandle liegen sehr gut in der Hand, wirken für Kinderhände fast schon zu dick. Technisch hat dieser Blaster alles was man sich wünscht. Eine Trommel, Pumpaction, Slamfire sind einfach eine ideale Kombination Die Pumpmechanik ist einfach nur ein Traum und dank „Slamfire“ (Trigger gedrückt halten und einfach nur noch den Pumpgriff betätigen) kann man seinen Kontrahenten ziemlich einschüchtern. Die Leistung ist ordentlich. Dieser Blaster hat ab Werk schon ordentlich „Bumms“ und transportiert die Darts zuversichtlich von A nach B. Genaue Reichweite wurde nicht ermittelt. Ich war jedenfalls zufrieden. Das Nachladen geht komfortabel und schnell und wie bei quasi jedem Trommelblaster „on-the-run“, ein riesen Vorteil bei Nerfwars. Resümee: Selten einen Blaster in der Hand gehabt mit dem ich so Rundum zufrieden war. Wird definitiv einer meiner Lieblinge.
