You have also got 12 rounds to play with, double most blasters of this style, so it can do a pretty good job of covering fire when needed. Accuracy and Range CAUTION: Do not aim at eyes or face. TO AVOID INJURY: Use only darts designed for this product. Do not modify darts or dart blaster.

One of the worst things about NERF blasting is the constant need to reload and the all too familiar moment of horror when you realize you have jumped headfirst into a battle with no darts left in the chamber. The NERF Doomlands 2169 Double Dealer blaster is here to help.The Doomlands series was originally known as Badlands during development, evident from images of the Lawbringer prototype. [1]

One thing to keep in mind is that the Persuader fires from top to bottom so make sure that you adjust your aim as you blast. Another cool feature of the Doomlands Persuader is that it features a transparent cover over the firing mechanism. If you have ever wondered about the inner workings of your blaster now you can take a look and keep unleashing dart mayhem in the process. The Double Dealer has an insane 24 dart capacity thanks to the inclusion of two, horizontally loaded, clips meaning you can keep blasting for longer! The iconic Doomlands transparent window inclusion also massively helps out on the Double Dealer, each clip is transparent meaning you can see how many darts you have left (it is also pretty cool to see your clip deplete as you deliver justice across the field). The trigger action is also just like any other spring powered blaster, with good feel and an easy pull. Rate of Fire The Impact Zone sub-series features blasters with a more futuristic design compared to standard Doomlands blasters.

Doomlands Lawbringer Review

The grip itself is large enough for a large hand like mine but also works well for smaller hands too – it makes me wonder why NERF don’t do more grips like this rather than squashing things up as they’ve done with the Hyperfire. Starting from the front of this blaster at the stubby muzzle, you will find a sling point, however, it does not have an N-Strike attachment so you cannot put on barrel extensions. This is not much of a surprise as this is not an N-Strike blaster, and the 2169 Doomlands range has a different aesthetic. The internals are made to the same spec as the Elite blasters and we actually got a slightly higher than average set of figures for the muzzle velocity, averaging 73FPS. However it is too large to realistically be slung as a secondary blaster, but has no magazines or slam-fire to make it an obvious primary weapon. So is it nothing more than a cool looking blaster or does it have a place in a serious NERFers collection? Unboxing & Getting Started

The Doomlands 2169 series is themed after a post-apoctalyptic future set in the year 2169, hence the name. The official plot explains that, after Earth was hit by a deadly asteroid, life and civilization begins anew, and survivors must fend off raiders and new monstrous creatures. Its blasters feature a more modern and futuristic design, with clear parts (similar to the Clear Series) that show the firing mechanisms of the blasters. Looking at the grip, the handle feels a little weird initially as the angle is very steep for a blaster the size of this. Once you get used to it it’s not uncomfortable so there’s no problem there.

To load, the 12 darts need to go into the cylinder. A dozen darts is a pretty good capacity for a cylinder and it is fixed in the blaster, you don’t need to push a button to eject it. You load each dart from the front with the plastic tip pointing away from the cylinder in the direction of fire. You can rotate it freely to load the next spare slot in the cylinder. The Lawbringer appeared in 2015 as part of the 2169 Doomlands range. While it does not say “Elite” anywhere on it, the Doomlands 2169 range is made to the same internal specifications as the Elite N-Strike blasters. This means the power and range should be similar, just with a post-apocalyptic edge rather than the sci-fi styling of the N-Strike Elite range. Other than that, some people just don’t like this priming style. So if you are one of those, I wouldn’t buy a Lawbringer!
