The weekend has already passed, when do you plan to make your new video?
Just stay here and addicted to electronic heroin?
Make your ass!
why should I make it since the gel blaster is already dead?
Don't bother me to have a deep ♂ interaction with Keanu Reeves
Choose a gangster in this game and how could you interact?
Interact with the KFC who has the biggest hamburger?
Go to hell
Hey, I won't give you this good stuff then
Oh, let me take a look, please
I've bought some other toys since the gel blaster was banned
Some of you were also having some hot discussions under the comment section
I understand that, of course
but put aside the complaint
as a 996 daily worker
our life still needs to continue, isn't it
In fact, started on October
There are manufacturers who began to design new toy guns
Based on some studios' response
the majority of the new release is basically about Nerf or Laser marker
Last week, I bought this nerf version 1014
It's not a new design, but as a relic of the previous era
coming back to the stage in this way
There are some expectations on it
This Nerf version 1014
The main part is still disassembled into three parts
The box seems like using the old one directly
you can even see the same word on the backside
On the new version manual
you can see the projectile becomes the nerf bullet
The blaster has the shell ejecting function as usual
6 red plastic shell is given out of the box
and two packs of nerf bullet
there is a pair of white gloves as well
It looks like the type you can buy 10 pairs for 2 bucks in Dollarama
why not give me a pair of robust labor gloves?
Due to the long buffer tube, the normal screwdriver is hard to reach
I did mention this problem in the first version
So this time an extra-long screwdriver is given out of the box
pretty convenient now
The nerf version still uses the retractable stock out of the box
The big butt type fixed stock need to be bought separately
Blue and white for the major color outside
Mag tube, bolt cover, and the buffer tube, those metal part are lacquered into oxidized electroplate blue
red decorations on the trigger and the mag tube cap
It's totally the standard color of Gundam
maybe the designer is a Gundam zealot
The color on the major part isn't painted on the surface
it is actually the original color of the part
The structure is still the pump-action "1014"
Well...at least the external build is basically the shape of 1014
1496g, a bit heavier than the first generation
The material use didn't change
but the overall feeling is more solid than the first gen.
and there is no wobbling at all when holding in hands
It may because of the precision of each part and the workmanship
On the right side of the one-piece receiver
there is a blue etched "Taran Tactical" logo
I don't know if Taran Tactical have ever customized the 1014
just this font
I feel like it totally looks like a kid's toy that can be bought in the flea market
Inside the ejection port
The golden bolt from the earlier version is replaced with this blue version
No inscription on it anymore, but it still looks nice, tho
This white receiver is so easy to get dirty
Lot's of fingerprints on it after playing it for a while
that's why they give white gloves to you
Pull back the bolt and you can see
the extractor and ejector inside are made of metal instead of plastic
The durability is certainly improved a lot
Under the loading port
the reinforced rib on the aluminum alloy lifter has been re-designed
it's more solid now, and the edges are not too sharp anymore
The trigger and safety use red as the color tip
the bolt release is still a non-functional decoration
There are rail and adjustable rear sight on the top of the receiver
nothing special compared with the previous version
The blue pistol grip isn't using rubber paint like the first gen.
just the nylon frame itself
The feeling isn't quite different
this one even has a better skid resistance
The buttstock is inserted into the buffer tube
the rotational function is reserved
The stock is hard to lock into places on the first gen.
the sliding problem is fixed in this generation
It will sit perfectly at any position at this time
and will not retract under the pressure of the shoulder
The white choke barrel on the front
the inscription is changing to the blue color
which matches the major white-blue color
still no inner barrel inside
The pumping handguard is still two plastic pieces
not too hard to charge
but a little bit stiff
some lubrication might be needed
You can see the track and the handguard are pretty precise
barely see the gap in between
At the front of the blue electroplate mag tube
there is a red color tip cover
Screw it out, the feeding spring is inside
Except for the Gundam blue-white-red color
the external build is basically similar to the first generation
The material use feels more solid than before when holding it
the overall durability is enhanced
However, for internals
there are lots of improvements
First of all, the receiver is reinforced inside
you can see the extra piece on both sides
so it won't be soft when pressuring it
The piston is also improved by using PC material which is more durable
The trigger group and the lever is re-designed
to prevent the discharging problem from the previous version
The feeding port and lifter has been entirely optimized
I remember it was hard to load on the first gen.
and it always jammed
This nerf version is more comfortable now
the lug and the follower works nicely and smoothly
No modification needed out of the box
will let you double-load the shell
smooth like a baby butt
just like WASP 870
The nerf version shell has a thicker outer case
with the improvement of the material use
it shouldn't break easily anymore like the previous version
Two types of the bullet, 20 rounds in total were given out of the box
One is the flat head bullet like the Elite long bullet
another one is with the sucking disc
Both are 13mm caliber
but the length is only 5cm
shorter than the Elite bullet
but it's longer than Worker's 4cm short bullet
It might be made proprietarily to fit this shell
The bullet is inserted directly
so there is no issue to use Worker's short bullet
5+1 mag capacity
The improvement made on the internals
let the ejection work better
the metal elastic ejector could shoot the shell pretty far
The entire system is very stable
During a few days of playing, jamming issues barely happened
just some times it may drop a shell when loading it
The performance out of the box is actually better than I thought
20m/s is basically the stock nerf blaster's standard
and due to no inner barrel, so don't mention how is the accuracy
it's all depending on your luck if you can hit or not
Using disc bullet to shoot the glass is funnier than shooting a target
and you don't need to kneel and find bullets on the ground which is so embarrassing
However, you still need to pick up the shells
Compared to AKA 870
this 200 bucks 1014 feels a bit sense of cheap good
However, at this time spot
the nerf version 1014 released as a new product
it still means something
A series of incidents happened in October
are basically concluding up Wargame 2.0 Era in our country
But still, we shouldn't just keep crying right now
just as I said before
there is nothing important to play "what" the playing itself is significant
As a common player, we could do nothing with it
but our favour and interest to the toy gun
will not conclude up with the end of the 2.0 era
there are still lots of players who are finding another way out
I'm not able to give more details about something
but based on the current situation
this colorful outer painting
with the low power nerf projectile
these compromises, these ideas are temporarily fine for now
240RMB (40USD) isn't expensive at all
after fixing a lot of problems from the first generation
this 1014 toy blaster is becoming mature
and it's awesome to play with it
