for those of you who don't care much about gel ball or Gelfire let's answer
an important question right out the gate this is the Nerf gelfire mythic without the hopper
attached and with a removable front Barrel which means that you can actually front load
rival rounds and fire them with whatever performance no modification required in a
quick chronograph test 50. nice and this is the new Nerf Gelfire Legion with the
same front adapter how well does this shoot rival and the answer is a lot worse 37.7
41
36.4 well I'm already disappointed this video is sponsored by into the am
what's up everyone my name is Brett and welcome back to the Gelfire zone where it's all Gelfire
all the time and if you're new to my channel no this is not actually a gel ball Channel I am just
talking about things that are slightly related to foam flinging because today we are talking about
the newest Nerf Gelfire product that is the legion I picked mine up off of Amazon for 35
United States dollars that is its retail price so now I have it and here is the Box this is a
spring powered pistol that fires jail fire rounds spring action no batteries included no batteries
needed 130 round Hopper we'll look at that in a second it's got slam fire and it's also got
a trigger lock instructions are also included very small eye protection as well and then you do get 5
000 rounds included none of them are pre-hydrated when they come in the Blaster and then of course
the main attraction the legion and its teeny tiny Hopper this is kind of funny like in one way I
think is adorable internet other way what the heck of course for size comparison this is the
hopper that comes with the Nerf Gelfire Mythic it advertises holding 800 rounds but through my
testing I found you could hold at least 1200 in here this one that comes with the legion well for
one doesn't have a little Gelfire sticker on the front advertises a holding 130. though through my
testing as well I found you could probably load up to 200 and of course it sits up top just like
that and that is all you get in the box and as you may have caught on in the beginning when it
comes to Performance the Gelfire Legion is not as powerful overall as the Mythic and the Mythic
wasn't that powerful to begin with it doesn't really hurt that much or maybe it's because this
shirt helps soften the blow this shirt from today's sponsor I like wearing shirts after
all it's a socially acceptable thing to do and I love bright and vibrant shirts just like I enjoy
a bright and vibrant blasters which is why I'm happy to announce that this video is sponsored

to into the am for sponsoring this video and supporting foam flinging creators like myself
as I mentioned in the beginning this is the same front lug that you get with the Mythic which means
that the barrel on the Mythic can be added to the legion which I think looks kind of cool I
mean this is really like a silence pistol kind of aesthetic but they don't include it and the
only place you can currently get this Barrel is with the Mythic so I guess that's an 80
Barrel right there neat and as mentioned on the box it's a spring powered Blaster no batteries
required that can also slam fire meaning you pull back auto retracts forward pull the trigger
and you shoot a gel ball into your room that disappears and you'll find it in maybe a month
but if you hold down the trigger and then forward you can slam fire which has grown on me a little
bit I'm gonna stop doing that this is gonna be a mess and I'll show you later what that
testing looks like outside removing the barrel that doesn't come with this thing talking about
the Blaster overall I think the aesthetic is decently appealing similar to the Mythic there
are definitely things I like about it and things I don't love about it because the handle does not
require a battery it is a little thinner and I actually find it to be pretty comfortable the
Mythic wasn't uncomfortable I just think this one is even better there's a little bit of a potential
pinch point right here I just wonder if maybe someone else's hand would find it a little bit
less comfortable the Blaster itself is not too big yet at the same time if I once again bring out the
Mythic you can see it's actually like almost the same length with the Mythic stock in the retracted
position and no barrels attached the colors as well are similar to the Mythic clearly defining
that Gelfire line you've got the red you've got this off-white the gray and the orange accents
this color scheme game not too bad and then of course the only paint you've got on this right
side is Nerf pro Gelfire and nothing on the left which is actually the exact same as the Mythic
and I realize now it doesn't say Legion on this Blaster anywhere and the safety is once again
right on the bottom underneath the trigger well putting on a larger Hopper would mean
that you would get more ammo capacity which is something most of us would prefer that's where
we can start getting into some of the cons of this Blaster of course it is going to work that
would be something to definitely note and get real angry about if it didn't but I'm going to show you
holy smokes it Wiggles that's some wiggle jiggle right there I noted before in my Gelfire mythic
review that I did seem to find two different types of hoppers in two different blasters
where one seemed to fit better than the other as far as snugness this is a whole different level
I don't know if you would call it unacceptable or just embarrassing maybe both but don't worry
the Teeny 130 Hopper does fit on the Mythic just fine it looks kind of odd in that way and no it
doesn't rattle around because it's tiny but while I've got the Mythic out again another weird Trend
that they've continued there are two rails on the Mythic where you could Mount stuff I think
these are rival style and Hyper style uh Picatinny rails so they're not actual Picatinny this bottom
one that doesn't make sense this top one is too small and the hopper is right here so it doesn't
make sense well the legion said hold my Gelfire rounds because it did it as well right here might
make a little bit more sense for where you could Mount stuff I suppose but once again it's just
super tiny they couldn't take it you know advantage of more of this real estate for a full
rail across the bottom and then the ultimate what the heck is right here there's rail on my handle
what is it doing there can you take it off please there aren't any attachments currently for the
Nerf Gelfire line and I think it really detracts from the overall look firing the Gelfire Legion
is actually not that bad of an experience while I did have a lot of jamming issues with the Mythic I
didn't find them the same way in the legion that's good what I did find in the legion and I confirmed
this with buff daddy Nerf over at Blaster Hub was double feeding this Blaster seemed to double feed
every fourth or fifth shot now was that inherently a bad thing I guess not but you're obviously going
to see limited performance if that's the case the pullback tab on the back I still think could have
been refined this is an odd choice I think because while they've made stuff Nerf like a disrupter or
a strong arm where it has a top handle that you would Prime back for some reason this is just
like a tab if this is designed for being 14 and up don't you want more real estate for people to grab
onto because you don't really grab just the sides that actually could put risk of you pinching your
hands in between these little bars is this the best they could go for but at least it still feels
strong enough like it's not going to break in my hands of course your experiences may vary but I
found the Gelfire mythic to fire up to 150 FPS it really seems to depend on what Gelfire rounds
are firing through it because sometimes they were larger than others even though I thought I soaked
them all in the same water for the same amount of time and then the legion came in a little bit
lower than that sometimes they were comparable but I think on average the legion was shooting a
little bit softer so for many of you once again the interpretation might be this is yet another
underpowered Nerf gel ball blaster sold at a premium price hang on a second I'm looking at
it right now and it's already reduced in price now it's thirty dollars fourteen percent off
I bought this like a week ago dang it you're telling me I could have waited for the ah what
what the f well it's got my potential right it's a spring power blaster well once again
I'm going to offer up some of buff daddy Nerf's research because he cracked this open and offered
a very cautious do not open unless you wish bad things upon yourself because it seemed like it
was a doozy to get in there and I don't know what kind of mod potential it's actually going to give
but as far as gel ball is concerned or Gelfire it's the second best Gelfire Blaster of all time
doesn't even fire rival that well I'm seriously disappointed by that thank you everyone so much
for watching let me know what you think about this Blaster what future blasters from this line if any
would you be excited about or are you ready for this line to actually end and thanks again to
into the am for sponsoring this video and now I will go off and live my 007 Nerf Gelfire fantasies
