There is plenty of fun to be had with any Nerf gun, but just a bit more in those you can hide. It may not be intimidating, but it does its job when you need it. The range really isn’t that bad, shooting up to 55 ft with the average being somewhere in the 30-40 ft range. Reliability and Durability: 9.5/10 As for durability, it is so light and compact that is really hard to break. If you have a Jolt it will likely be working for a long time. Fun and Value: 9.7/10

You can consistently hit a printer paper-sized target consistently up to 15-20ft. After 25 feet the shot spread will increase rapidly. Alpha Trooper CS-18 • Barrel Break IX-2 • Barricade RV-10 • Deploy CS-6 • LongStrike CS-6 • Rapid Fire AS-20 • Spectre REV-5 • Stampede ECS This gun can be used just as easily with the right or left hand and the T-style priming handle makes for a smooth prime.

Recommendations

If I had to complain about something with the design, I would like to see basic pistol sights on it just for fun. The Jolt is well-known within the Nerf community as a meme, stemming from its sheer number of re-shells. The meme, originating from YouTube videos and comments, makes absurdist claims about any and all blasters being a "Jolt re-skin", no matter their priming or loading mechanisms.

The majority of the blaster is one solid piece of plastic, rather than two separate halves attached together with screws or tabs. The only separate pieces are the trigger mechanisms, the plunger, and a plate from which the plunger rod projects from. Shoots up to 50 FPS which seems quite low compared to an average Nerf gun, but is really not that bad for a pea shooter. If you understand it’s not meant to be a sniper, you will not be disappointed with its performance. FPS and Range: 6.5/10 The Jolt includes two standard elite darts which is fair for the capacity. The nice thing about the standard darts is that you likely have extra if you misplace the ones it comes with.It’s nobody’s first choice but it is great to have as an emergency last resort. So yes, I think it’s worth buying. I wouldn’t recommend this as a primary Nerf pistol as it obviously isn’t going to compete in a battle against bigger guns. If you are looking for smaller blasters you can compete with, here are my recommendations for the current best Nerf Pistols. The Jolt shoots up to 50 FPS which is well below the 70 par for an average pistol. Well, the truth is that this isn’t an average pistol and shouldn’t be held up to that standard. Some "Elite repaint" variants of the blaster use the Zombie Strike mold, and have the Zombie Strike logo on the side even though the blaster itself is an N-Strike release. NERF Rival blasters make a great choice for team games, letting you choose your side: red or blue. Start a head-to-head competition fuelled by NERF Rival’s power and precision.

It has also been used as the basis for other blasters, which are often referred to in the community as "Jolt re-shells". The first re-shell predates the first Jolt re-release. The Clue Elimination blaster set was released in 2012, with four unique blasters based on the Jolt's design.

Because of this, as well as its size, it can be a good candidate for blaster integrations.
