We also found that the Hammershot manage a slightly better average range than both the Disruptor and the Strongarm but not by enough to make any difference in combat. The Hammershot gave an average muzzle velocity of a little over 73 feet per second, which is a little better than the N-STRIKE ELITE average. This was first seen in the Strongarm and now seems to be in pretty much all the revolver designs by NERF. The Hammershot uses a spring fire mechanism, which rotates the turret as it is primed, rather than as the trigger is pulled, making it much less prone to jams and a much better trigger action than the earlier mechanisms. With this, you can achieve pretty much the same effect as slam fire with a bit of practice, although expect your first few attempts to be comical if I am anything to go by… Keep in mind you only have 5 shots before needing a reload, so this is not always the best use of your ammo either. There is no slam-fire, but you can fan-fire if you hold the trigger and fan the priming hammer. If you do it one-handed this is surprisingly heavy the first few times you do it, but soon becomes easy, although I have fairly large hands and this is much harder for smaller hands to do! Once loaded you prime it by pulling the hammer down rather than by sliding back the priming handle. The biggest issue with loading is the typical revolver issue of ensuring you push the darts in the right amount – too much and they can jam, too little and they can come out or foul the mechanism although, in reality, these issues are rarely a problem. You can reach each chamber from the front, but it can be faster and easier to rotate the bottom two out as this makes access easier. Loading the Hammershot is simply a matter of feeding the darts into the turret. On a more practical note, it has a sling/lanyard point on the base of the grip, like many other pistols, and a tactical rail at the top to add sights or ammo holders. Neither of these seems to do anything that I can fathom but add to the rugged looks. Other design flourishes include the stabilizer bar and capsule-shaped thing (no idea what it is supposed to be though) mounted under the barrel. This is designed to make it look more distressed and Walking Dead like and, apart from the very bad wood color, it is pretty successful. The Hammershot looks like a typical NERF revolver albeit in orange with the Z logo and faux wood handle help maintain its Zombie Strike appearance. This has lead to several really cool blasters, that while they look gimmicky, are actually great fun and surprisingly practical. Originally rumored to be NERF’s cowboy range, the success of shows like the Walking Dead saw Hasbro shift focus to the Zombie genre. However, the likes of the Flip Fury, Doominator and this Hammershot have changed my mind. The Zombie Strike range initially struck me as something like the Star Wars blasters – just there to make an extra buck by re-bodying existing blasters and usually making them worse.

Full NERF Zombie Strike Hammershot Review

The only drawbacks are the 5 shot cylinder and the mouldings on the grip which can be uncomfortable, otherwise, this is an excellent secondary blaster. Compact size, front loading and one-handed priming make the Hammershot ideal as a secondary blaster or for dual wielding.
