Introduction: The Nite Finder EX-3 is part of the N-Strike series. It is an external single-fire Nerf blaster. It's a small gun, but is it small AND mighty? The addition of a laser which helps when having a war at night, but will this novelty feature be as good as the actual gun?
Range: For a small gun, I was amazed how far it fired! It can fire up to 40 feet, but sometimes it's less. That's where "up to" comes in. Whistler darts make it fire further. Considering the price (see the prices section below), this is great! 9/10
Accuracy: Short or long distances, the Nite Finder as great accuracy! The tactical rail is brilliant as well. Now, the laser (that requires 2 x AA batteries), unfortunately only really works at short distances which is a shame, really, because it's at long distances where you're often unsure about where your ammo will land. However, the tactical rail makes up for this! 10/10
Reliability: The Nite Finder has a simple reloading system so it is unable to jam! 10/10
Rate: This is a problem. The Nite Finder only holds one dart that can be fired. One dart. Yeah. Therefore, in a war, this shouldn't be your first choice of gun. Only use it as a last resort. 3/10
Capacity: The gun holds one dart to be fired and two below for easy reloading. So, three darts. 4/10
Price:
USA: Toys 'R' Us: $7.99 - Amazon.com: $10.00 - FishpondWorld.com: $16.79
UK: Toys 'R' Us: £8.99 - Amazon.co.uk: £6.19 - The Entertainer (TheToyShop.com): £9.00
In my opinion, these are good prices! However, from FishpondWorld in the USA, that's a bit expensive. 8/10
General: Overall, for such a small gun, the Nite Finder EX-3 really packs a punch! The slow reloading system and firing rate really lets it down, however, the gun is compact. The novelty of the laser wears off soon unfortunately, and good be done much better. 7.3/10
