What a great find!

Performance leaves alot to be desired, but I love the Alien Menace line.

Its a shame, but my Thrifting spot seems to be either drying up or over-fished.

That’s been the case with my thrift spots. Also 3 of the barrels shoot really soft, one almost farts out. Any tips to fix a smart AR?

Not really, Im sure you can find a smart AR tune up video on YT, but this will never be more than a family friendly wall hanger.

(unless you really mod the heck out of it)

I will say, it was the last AM blaster in my collection and it was really difficult to get my hands on.

If your a collector, I'd just keep it stock.

The best way to get more consistent performance out of any smart AR system is to tighten the barrels. You don't necessarily need to brass them, just use a bit of tape on the inside until your typical dart fits snugly.

Oh hell yeah, I got two of these when they were still in stores and while they're not great performance-wise, they're crazy fun

The r/nerf moderators urge extreme caution while thrifting during Covid-19. Please apply all up-to-date Covid safety requirements for your area when thrifting. We recommend that masks be worn, especially if you are not vaccinated.

Avoid immediately using blasters, darts, gear, etc if at all possible. If you do, please sanitize the item(s) in question. Avoid solvent-based cleaners, since many of the things we use in our hobby can be damaged by them. Stay up to date on your local Covid guidelines/restrictions, national guidelines, and r/Coronavirus.

Do not go thrifting if you or anyone you know has symptoms of Covid-19.
