Nerf N-Strike Jolt EX-1 - Review!

Check out the Nerf N-Strike Jolt EX-1!

The Nerf Jolt is a spring powered direct plunger blaster... with a really tiny form factor.

Its plunger tube is housed inside the trigger handle. Just load a foam dart, pull the priming handle at the bottom downwards, then pull the trigger to fire.

The blaster comes packaged with 2 x Sonic/Whistler foam darts. It is compatible with most Nerf foam darts too.

The average stock range is approx. 25-30ft.

Btw, doesn't it have a rather uncanny resemblance to the "Noisy Cricket" in the movie Men In Black? :)

    Daniel,

    With a spring plunger system, it works in the same way as a syringe, when you pull back the handle, if the plunger to barrel seal is good, it draws in air from the barrel, therefore if a foam dart is placed at the front of the barrel, it is automatically pulled in due to the vacuum that forms behind it. That is what's commonly referred to amongst nerfers as vacuum loading.

    Noisy Cricket? Looks more like the FP-45 Liberator used in World War II.

    gstarr007,

    Well, the trigger handle can be abit small for users with large hands, but other than that its a fun compact blaster to use. :)

    So far, no news of them appearing in Singapore yet. I'll post updates if they do pop up locally.

    Unfortunately, unlike the Noisy Cricket, it doesn't shoot a super-powerful round that explodes and gives you a Force push back. It's just the Jolt EX-1.

    SG Nerf,

    Can you tell where did you order all these not-released-blasters from?

  13. SG NerfNovember 28, 2011 at 11:35 AM

    YM,

    I usually get new blasters from overseas friends, or from online sellers at sites like eBay or TaoBao. :)

    Dear SG NERF,I currently have all the nerf blasters except the nerf recon.I'm from Hawaii and Im planing to visit Singapore.which shop would you recommend me to buy the recon the cheapest.

  15. SG NerfNovember 29, 2011 at 10:34 PM

    Crazinerffan,

    Well, you can find Nerf Recons at pretty much all the major dept stores in Singapore, it's one of the most common blaster models here.

    The retail prices for Nerf are the same at all the local retail stores, but you could shop around to find special promotions or discounts that pop up occasionally at the individual stores.

  19. SG NerfDecember 2, 2011 at 5:06 PM

    rubesh's nerf,

    Thanks for the info, hopefully someone could also take a photo to confirm its availability there and post on the NerfSG forum to share.

    Nerf Hornets are also very rarely seen in stores nowadays too, i guess you'll have to really scout around to find them.

    Dear SGnerf,why is there a shortage of Longshots in the US but no shortages in SG.And do they still sell the classic blue model

    ReplyDelete
  21. SG NerfDecember 4, 2011 at 3:15 PM

    Ken Boey,

    Well, the Longshots currently available in SG are a very limited re-stock, so it looks like a matter of "get it while stocks last" kinda thing.

    I've not seen the Blue versions available in any stores for quite a while. Imho, those are collectors items nowadays.

    SG Nerf. I hope this isnt any inconvenience to you but could please post a picture of the Stampede with that cool triple red dot targeting matrix that you did with the Vulcan. I really would like to see how it turns out on it.

  23. SG NerfDecember 8, 2011 at 1:32 AM

    BloggerId,

    Unfortunately, that was done back in 2008 and i don't have those red dot targeters anymore, so i can't do the same setup.

    But i would imagine the result would look quite similar in effect. :)

  25. Lanh, Duc, Joey & Sydney Nguyen-KhoaDecember 15, 2011 at 8:23 AM

    how much do you think a blue longshot is worth?
    it works fine, but the front barrel thing has to be fixed every five shots.

    Thanks!

  26. SG NerfDecember 15, 2011 at 2:01 PM

    Lanh, Duc, Joey & Sydney Nguyen-Khoa,

    Depending on the condition of the unit, complete working good sets currently go for $100+ amongst nerf enthusiasts in SG. New-in-box sets would be worth even more. I guess it just depends on how much you are willing to pay based on its rarity nowadays.

  28. SG NerfDecember 15, 2011 at 8:57 PM

    Zilla,

    So far, i've not spotted the Nerf Jolt available in Singapore yet, have to order from overseas.

    No idea when it would appear in local stores either, though i will post updates here if they do pop up locally.

    I like this gun. Also is this available in Australia? Why is this only overseas?

    nerffan,

    Not sure if it's available in Australia, it's not even available in Singapore where i live either. I ordered mine from online sellers. Guess it just depends on the model distribution in different countries.

    Hmm, mine got more like 30 - 35 feet ranges. It really is an excellent blaster. It looks even smaller next to the Mav in that picture.

      Anonymous,

      Streamlines get similar ranges as the sonic/whistler foam darts... though streamlines do tend to be rather inconsistent and inaccurate, so the ranges can often vary alot between shots.
