happy holidays everyone my name is Brett and sometimes I wear a Santa hat and welcome to
naughty or nice this year we're taking a look at 12 Nerf and foam flinging related items that
I have never looked at on my channel and we're going to tell you are they naughty
or are they nice these videos will not be posted daily rather every other day leading
up to Christmas and in between those I will have a short featuring highlights from the
previous video as you can see I've got 12 gifts wrapped under the tree let's get into it day one
where where is the day one it's right in front of me dear current Beret this is past Beret if
you are reading this we've almost made it through 2022. this is from what's left of
the tick tock money don't drink the eggnog thank you bz apologies in advance if your
comment doesn't get read I actually got more than I was expecting so I had to randomize a bit
oh good we're starting off with Elite 2.0 Elite 2.0 jolt reskin what a thing
have I never actually used this Blaster have I ever actually held this blaster
gotta love the open front-facing packaging yeah well that exploded [Music]
yep that's a jolt it's the Nerf Elite 2.0 Ace sd1 featuring The Blaster itself and two Elite darts
it's the newest literal jolt reskin on the market that isn't a micro shot Titan retailing for about
five dollars but depending on where you look it might be closer to like 350. there's really
nothing too complex about the Ace in fact the only thing that really makes sense is to compare
it to an original jolt it is not a micro shop Blaster there is no tie-in it is just an elite
2.0 jolt of sorts but there are some pretty clear differences uh there have been other versions of
the jolts obviously this one now having a dart holder on the top but it does seem to work pretty
well as a dart holder and for me if you're going to shoot a dart then grab another one off the top
I actually think the dart placement is pretty good the original jolt obviously having nothing
but there have been other versions with dart holders on the side and you see something like
the x-shot Menace which has like two little Dart holders right here they're sideways so you do have
to pull them out and put them in so the ace has a pretty good Dart placement on the top you can see
the trigger well on the ace is much bigger than the jolt but then you can see that the jolt has
a little bit more room for your hand whereas the ace flares up a little bit sooner but that being
said the jolt is also not known for being the most comfortable Blaster ever these are pretty sharp
that's pretty thin and narrow the ace has a lot more real estate that is a lot more smooth this
one I would say is more comfortable to hold bang bang bang also the jolt when I pull the trigger
there's like no response the ace has a little bit more of a click to it if you compare it to
something like the x-shot Menace well the Menace is obviously going to be a bit longer the prime
is at the back not through the handle and with the handle on the Menace being so small oh wait no the
handles are like the same size the problem is you can't wrap around underneath on the ace because
that's where the prime is versus the uh the Menace comes out the back so you could actually just make
a fist around that one and it wouldn't impede with the functionality the Menace can also take half
darts without any modification like so which is pretty cool and a nice feature in case you
didn't know the jolt and the Ace of course cannot do it without any modification nope just a lot
more bulk overall on the ace which in some cases is good and in other cases it's like that might
not be too comfortable like you can see this Ridge might get a little bit uncomfortable on your hand
whereas the jolt has nothing so certainly some pros and cons when you compare these two [Music]

so now we must ask ourselves the elite 2.0 Ace is it naughty or is it nice
well the most modern era jolt with no strings attached I think it's actually kind of nice
if I would gravitate towards it over a standard jolt but if they were on the store shelves at the
same price I wouldn't be too offended it's also hard to find jolts for that price point if you
look on store shelves now or even online and micro shots are ten dollars plus so yeah you can get
two of those for the price of one micro shot and some micro shots are going to be more comfortable
than others at least with that you know exactly what you get and there are party packs that also
make them more affordable if you want to get a plethora of them without breaking your budget but
hey that's the cheapest thing we've got on our list there's still quite a few more to look at
