NERF Doomlands 2169 Vagabond Blaster (Multi-Colour)

Product Information

If your idea of persuading your opponents is to blast them away with four darts in a row then you may have found your perfect blaster. The trigger action is also just like any other spring powered blaster, with good feel and an easy pull. Rate of Fire Another nice touch is that the shell is transparent, so when you operate the priming mechanism you can see it all operate which is very cool. 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 blaster comes completely assembled. All you have to do is pop in the 12 darts that come in a separate bag and you are ready to go. Design & Ergonomics If you don’t like all these high-tech magazines and battery-powered flywheel blasters and want a slightly different primary blaster, this could be for you. 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 addition of a transparent window into the firing mechanism is a nice touch but doesn’t add anything to the actual blasting experience so is purely aesthetic (but it is quite cool to see what is going on inside…). 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! The Doomlands Double Dealer is an absolute pleasure to use. Load up your two 12 darts clips and “pump” the slam-action action primer and you are ready to play and oh, did we mention that it fires two darts at a time! The clips are spring-loaded so with each shot and pump 2 new darts will be pushed into the chamber. Incredibly good fun and comfortable to use, it feels like shooting a sawn-off shotgun from the hip!

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. 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.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. The priming action itself is just like a Hammershot. This can be done easily two-handed, but it can be done one-handed with a little bit of practice to make it smooth. 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.
