"When you're a kid and you wanna go "Wee!," but you ain't got Nerf yet - you hold on for your life. You hold on to your little... foam darts and Stryfe. Foam darts and Stryfe, foam darts and Stryfe, foam darts and Stryfe. Foam darts fired like lightning! Like lightning! Foam darts will rain... "

The Nerf Stryfe has long been a fan favorite amongst Nerfers everywhere. From its tacti-cool looks, to it's awesome performance, the Stryfe is a winner. It's like a Nerf Tec-9 machine pistol. But it can turn into a Nerf MP5 submachine gun with the right attachments. Or a Nerf M4, or an HK16, or an ACR. Whatever. They've literally got the right Nerf gun attachments for the job. Whether you just slap on a few official Nerf attachments, or some aftermarket cosmetic mod kits, the Stryfe can be outfitted any way you like. 

The stock performance of the Nerf Modulus Stryfe isn't anything to slouch at, either. It's not full-auto like the Nerf Rapidstrike or the HyperFire (though it can be made to fire full-auto or even burst with the right mod kit), but the Stryfe can still outperform those blasters. You'll be more accurate since you're not shooting fully automatic, and you can even shoot faster if you use a secret little technique I like to call Fingerbang.

To fingerbang the Nerf Modulus Stryfe, first you would need to brace the gun against your shoulder using a stock attachment. Second, you hold the Stryfe up front underneath the barrel. There's a tacti-cool rail there, so you can attach an angled foregrip to make this more comfortable. Last, you insert your extended trigger finger into the trigger guard area and, holding your arm out perpendicularly to the Stryfe, slam your arm back and forth as fast as you can! You'll be hitting the trigger so fast that everyone will think it's full-auto. 

The Nerf Stryfe is also the easiest motorized Nerf gun to mod and is my official recommendation for first flywheel mod that you attempt. It's super fun to explore your tinkerer's side and learn to mod and add or takeaway or replace parts and cut away from the shell. Whatever.

The Nerf Modulus Stryfe, in particular, is the most tacti-cool Stryfe out of the box. It includes a couple of attachments already in the box. It comes with a vertical foregrip attachment (from the original Modulus) and it comes with a short barrel attachment (from the Ion-Fire). Tacti-cool!

Okay, this Nerf gun doesn't look much like a SCAR. It looks like some weird mix of the SCAR, the HK416, and even a little bit of an ACR. If you can get past that, this is a pretty tacti-cool rifle that includes a foregrip, scope, and 3 mags
