The Nerf Magstrike is the fastest-firing model in the Nerf Dart Tag range. If you play Dart Tag, this is the model to get.
It boasts an incredible rate of fire, 5 rounds per second or 300 rounds per minute! The Magstrike comes with 2 x 10 round clips. In practice, you can send 10 foam darts flying at an opponent before he can even fire off his second shot!
The firing mechanism is based on compressing air into its storage chamber (similar to a paintball gun) via a pump handle. It takes around 20+ quick pumps to fully prime the Magstrike.
The 10 round clips are ratchet driven so when the Magstrike fires, the clip is pushed up the gun and compressed air is released in sequence to fire off all 10 foam darts in under 2 seconds. You can also fire 2-3 shot bursts with just a light tap on the trigger.
The percussion sounds the Magstrike makes during firing is quite addictive, almost like mini explosions. This really adds to the appeal of the Magstrike!
The Magstrike comes in 2 colors: Red and Blue.

Is the nerf magstrike available in singapore?
ReplyDeleteMagstrikes are currently not avaliable at stores in SG.
ReplyDeleteThe only way to get them nowadays are either to order from overseas, or perhaps checking the NerfSG forums to see if anyone there is willing to sell a unit. :)
A good tactic with this is being Dual-Wielding and find a good cover.Then,just fill the enemy's face with bullets!
ReplyDeleteActually, the best possible tactic with the Magstrike is to combine it with a riot shield. Unfortunately, the sheer ROF of this weapon is offset by short range and the sad fact that once you've shot, you're vulnerable.
ReplyDeleteThe Riot Shield allows you to get in close with the enemy safely, dump all your ammo into 'em, then retreat. I personally use a LARP roman tower shield...makes room-clearing a breeze.
has there been any news of a magstrike to be released in singapore?
ReplyDeleteNo news yet, but you can check the NerfSG forum trading section, there are usually local members there with Magstrikes avaliable for sale.
ReplyDeletethis gun looks cool! I'm going to buy it! Thank for the review!
ReplyDeletewhich way did you buy it?3rd party shipping or fixed landed price?which is cheaper?
ReplyDeleteweaponhazard,
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the item. 3rd party shipping can sometimes be cheaper if you are ordering a larger quantity of items (especially when there are promotions on), but there is the risk of not knowing for sure the actual final shipping cost.
Nowadays i usually go for the Tarazz fixed-landed-pricing service 'cos it helps to reduce the guesswork when ordering items online, but do note that they will still call later and add extra shipping costs if the item's volumetric weight exceeds 5kg.
It'll be best to contact them beforehand to confirm the item shipping costs before submitting your orders.
right..which way would you reccomend me that is cheaper?and what's the price you paid for the red magstrike dart tag?
ReplyDeleteweaponhazard,
ReplyDeleteAt this moment, ordering through Tarazz is probably better.
Pricing depends on the online merchant's pricing and on the timing of the order.
At this point in time, you should be able to get USA-SG shipped sets at around SGD$60-$70 each (or maybe even less) if the online prices are good.
does the magstrike fire all the darts at once or could it fire at semi auto?
ReplyDeleteweaponhazard,
ReplyDeleteThe Magstrike can fire 2-3 shot bursts by just briefly pulling the trigger to control the shots fired.
Its possible to control the trigger to just fire 1 shot bursts, but that'll require some practice. :)
right..practice makes perfect,you seem to master it,i saw you using the iron man magstrike in the nerf war video lol
ReplyDeletehey sg nerf,
ReplyDeletei found a store that had a ton of titan and magstrikes but i only have enough money to buy one so which one should i get first
playstationwiisixty,
ReplyDeleteIt'll all depend on what you'll be using them for.
For nerf games, the Magstrike would be a more useful blaster overall.
But if the Titan you are referring to is the Nerf Unity Power System (ie. Titan + Hornet + Scout), then that'll be a good package to get 'cos it has a few blasters in one set which can be used together or seperately.
on my last comment i was refering to the standalone titan set (without the scout and hornet) but i think i'll get the magstrike first because there was only a few of them and there was literally an entire shelf of titans :)
ReplyDeletethnx for the previos answer
Does the Magstrike which is sold without the Dart Tag gear(Like the Iron Man Magstrike or the yellow one) come with 2 clips or just 1?
ReplyDeleteP.S. SG Nerf, as weaponhazard said'i saw you using the iron man magstrike in the nerf war video lol'
Can I know what's your youtube ID? I wanna watch your vids. Others are just either bad or fake.
Nerf Meagafan,
ReplyDeleteThe Nerf Dart Tag Magstrike versions are packaged with 2 clips.
The Nerf Iron Man & N-Strike versions are packaged with only 1 clip.
For videos of some of the Nerf games organised in Singapore, you can check out my YouTube Channel:

may i know where u bought yours? i really want 1
ReplyDeleteBeau,
ReplyDeleteFor the Dart Tag Magstrikes, they were ordered from Amazon.com and shipped to SG via a 3rd party shipper.
how much did the shipping cost?
ReplyDeleteBeau,
ReplyDeleteUSA to SG shipping cost depends on the size of the delivery box and the prevailing shipping rates.
You'll have to check at the 3rd party shipper sites for more information:

Do these magstrikes break easily? I am referring to all the magstrike variants ( iron man, n-strike and dart tag magstrike versions ) I've read reviews on amazon saying that the guns' stop working after a day or even after a few shots! Is this really true or certain are magstrikes ( of any kind ) are defected? Are your magstrike units still working? Also, do you have any idea on how to fix a broken magstrike? ( As in those which have clips that don't advance upwards when firing or magstrikes with air leaks ) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteRyan =],
ReplyDeleteAs with all Nerf blasters... it all depends on luck.
So far, all of the Magstrikes i have (Dart Tag, Iron Man and N-Strike versions) are still working perfectly, even after modding.
Those users that were unlucky enough to get faulty ones could have simply exchanged them at the store for a new working unit.
Magstrikes with faulty or broken components can be fixed, just need to spend time to troubleshoot them step by step.
I plan on getting one of the dart tag ver., but I heard someone said that the air chamber for the Dart Tag ver. Magstrikes are less durable than N-Strike ver. Do you have N E mods, maby 2 strengthen the air chamber?
ReplyDeleteMusta,
ReplyDeleteSo far i've had no issues with the strength or durability of air systems in both the the Dart Tag and N-Strike Magstrikes, so i never had to strengthen anything.
I guess you just have to make sure that any Magstrikes you get have 100% air tight system in the first place, then you'll have good firing performance.
How rare is this blaster? Cuz I wanna get one, but it's nowhere to be found. I'm gonna go check at Genting this Christmas. It's RM99.90, isn't it, SGNerf?
ReplyDeleteMusta,
ReplyDeleteTo my knowledge, only the Iron Man versions were available for a very short time at local dept stores.
So far no more stock of those have been spotted since last year.
Nowadays, the only way to get them are from online stores overseas, eBay or Nerf forums.
What's the pump limit?
ReplyDeleteeg.: Secret Strike AS-1 : 7 pumps
Musta,
ReplyDeleteAs mentioned in the review, 20+ pumps before the over-pressure valve activates.
I got the new yellow version of the magstrike and when i get to the tenth cylinder of the mag the dart shoots atleast half the distance of the other darts.
ReplyDeleteDid you have the same trouble as I did?
Is there any way to fix it?
seaverwc,
ReplyDeleteEvery shot should have the same power and range.
If a particular barrel is under-performing, it could be due to a air leak in the system which runs out the air supply too quickly (you'll need to do an underwater test to find the leak then patch it), or the air seal in that particular barrel is too loose (try adding some tape to the inside of the barrel to create a tighter fit for the foam dart).
Sg Nerf..
ReplyDeleteIs the Magstrike the fastest firing Nerf blaster??
If not... Then which Nerf blaster??
Nerf IsReallycool,
ReplyDeleteWell, in terms of rate-of-fire (RoF) in stock unmodded condition, the Magstrike and Rapid Fire 20 (and the older Powerclip and Wildfire) can achieve up to 5 shots per second, which makes them the highest RoF blasters in the current Nerf blaster range... at this point in time.
Thanks very very much SG Nerf!!
ReplyDeletejust picked up the n-strike version the other day, anywhere i can get more clips?
ReplyDeleteChris,
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately for Magstrikes, their clips are not available separately.
SG Nerf,
ReplyDeleteSorry.. this is kind of Out Of Topic..
What is the First Nerf Dart Tag ever released?
Blog SaifulMarteen,
ReplyDeleteI think its probably the Nerf Strikefire? They seem to be the first ones that came packaged with dart tag vests.
well does it sell magstrikes to day? if not why sg does not sell it?
ReplyDeleteendry,
ReplyDeleteNerf stock varies from country to country, it just depends on model distribution.
The Nerf Magstrike Dart Tag versions were not sold in Singapore, but the Iron Man version was available in Singapore back in 2008-2009. No more in stock now though.
I ordered my Dart Tag Magstrikes from overseas online stores and through trading with other nerf enthusiasts.
An update for you... Magstrike is a discontinued project by nerf
ReplyDelete-nerfsniper
were do you get this magstrike?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
DeleteI ordered my sets from Amazon.com.
Hi sgnerf,
ReplyDeleteDo you still sell the nerf magstrike which i can purchase?
Anonymous,
DeleteI don't sell those, i'm not a retail or commercial shop... this is just a hobby enthusiast site. :)
You'll have to check at dept stores or online stores to find them.
Hi sgnerf,
ReplyDeleteDo you know any places in Singapore is still selling the nerf magstrike?
Anonymous,
DeleteThe Magstrike is not sold in Singapore, you have to order them in from overseas or online stores.
other than amazon and ebay where else can i get this blaster?
ReplyDeleteShane Lim,
DeleteYou can also try other online stores in the USA like walmart.com or target.com... though you'll also have to check if they can ship internationally.
how do I get them to ship items/blasters to Asia/Singapore
Deleteand how do i get third party shipping to send the blasters over?
Shane Lim,
DeleteIf the overseas or online seller does not ship internationally, you'll have to use a 3rd party USA to Singapore shipper like vPost.
Here is their website link:
https://www.vpost.com.sg
You will need to register a customer account with them and follow their instructions on how to use the service.
Note that your final shipping charges may be higher than expected due to the way such shipping services calculate the package "weight". They measure using volumetric weight (ie. size of the delivery box), instead of the actual weight of the item.
I have a few questions
ReplyDelete1.where can i buy the -long shot
-magstrike
-3 in 1 unity system
-strikefire/crossfire in Singapore?
2. are the special value blasters(barricade with stock/raider with extra drum/nitron with extra disks) i see on amazon available in Singapore and if so where can I get them?
3.is the long shot still on shelves at toysrus?
4.If any of the blasters i mentioned are not available in Singapore what websites other than amazon and ebay can i order the first hand unused from ny other website at if so which websites?
Shane Lim,
Delete1. None of those blaster models you mentioned are currently available locally (the strikefire/crossfire used to be in stock, but are very old models and have already been sold out quite a while back).
2. The "special value" blasters you mentioned are also not available locally too, those tend to be only exclusive to certain stores in the USA (though its possible on occasion that some of them do pop up in local dept stores in limited quantities, but you'll have to keep checking at stores to find out).
3. Longshots should still be available in local stores, but you may have to shop around to find them nowadays, as they seem to be starting to get sold out at some places.
4. You could try other online stores in the USA like walmart.com or target.com.
can I get blasters from online stores not established in us?
Deleteare there any local/Singaporean sellers willing to sell the blasters i mentioned to me?
DeleteShane Lim,
DeleteI guess you can check online for other overseas stores, but the same method applies... if they don't ship internationally, you'll have to find a 3rd party shipper which does.
As for local sellers, you could try checking the NerfSG forum trading section, occasionally there might be sellers there with used ones for sale:
http://nerfsg.freeforums.org/marketplace-buy-sell-trade-mass-order-f7.html
Note that you will need to have a forum user account to access that section.
Hi sgnerf,
ReplyDeleteDo you know which online stores in Singapore sells the nerf magstrike,not from overseas like Amazon?
Anonymous,
DeleteTo my knowledge so far, there are no online stores in Singapore which sell Nerf Magstrikes.
Hey
ReplyDeleteWell,i didnt know i pumped to much then its stop working ( cant pump ) how do you fix it?
Anonymous,
DeleteMost likely a tubing or the air bladder inside the blaster has somehow burst or got a leak (or something got stuck), you will need to open it up to check and fix.
To find leaks, open up the casing, immerse it in a tub of water, pump it up and observe where the water bubble leak out from, then patch those leaks with epoxy glue.
When i pumped too much and try to pump again but when i push the pumper thing in but then the air pushed out instead. It that means the air bladder leak?
ReplyDeleteBenny,
DeleteOkay, your pump is probably faulty or damaged... you'll have to replace it with a new pump, or just buy a new Magstrike unit (save the hassle).
yo how much does the nerf magstrike cost?
ReplyDeleteHow much does a magstrike cost and how far does it shoot?
ReplyDeleteRennis,
DeleteMagstrikes are not available locally, you'll have to check online to find the current prices.
They get around 25-30ft ranges, similar to most of the older Nerf blasters.
Where can I buy a magstrike from? I don't want a second hand one.
ReplyDeleteRennis,
DeleteMagstrikes are not available locally, you'll have to check at overseas online sites like Amazon.com or eBay.com to find the current prices (if they are still available).
