A spring-loaded detent serves to align the cylinder. Given the pump-action setup, it’s easy to simply mount the ratchet arm in the same area. The Armorstrike differs a bit from most Nerf cylinder-fed blasters, in that the rotation mechanism is molded to the outside of the cylinder. The end result, though, is an unreliable slamfire mechanism that sometimes doesn’t catch, and will be counterintuitive compared to other blasters.
Doing that with the Armorstrike, though, resulted in the plunger not even catching, so darts ended up flying lazily out the front. Normally, you just hold the trigger down on a slamfire Nerf blaster, and then just pump repeatedly to shoot.
HOWEVER, that’s due to finding a sweet spot for holding the trigger. The Armorstrike I tested averaged 70fps with the included darts, with a rate of fire of about three darts per second with slamfire. The two “eyebrow” spikes serve as a rough iron sight, Performance The cylinder holds eight darts, and it can be easily rotated by hand for reloading. It’s most likely fine for the target audience (children), so in this case, it’s just a minor annoyance. That being said, the vertical part is a bit short. The main grip and trigger are comfortable, and the priming grip is adequate. The general operation of the blaster is easy. If anything, making the stock a little longer would have gone a long way. Also, not moving carefully means the tail rubs against the back of your grip hand. But given that the large rectangular tail is already uncomfortably against your shoulder, I don’t know if even that would be recommended. Perhaps if you have ammo storage attachments, you could put them there. Oddly, there are two tactical rails on the stock – this seems like an almost useless addition.

The designers made the best of the situation, making a stock large enough to store eight darts for a full reload. The Armorstrike is modeled after an ankylosaurus, complete with spikes (just shell deco, not actual spikes) and a club-shaped tail. As far as Amazon is concerned, “Box art? Where we’re going, we don’t need box art!” The Armorstrike (at least the one that comes from Amazon) ships in a simple box, with the blaster and 16 darts. Until the slam-fire gets fixed, the blaster isn’t worth the money. On the other hand, the blaster is inferior to the previous version of this type (the Dragonpower Emberstrike), with a faulty slam-fire mechanism and some odd design decisions. On one hand, it captures the spirit of Dinosquad, with a fun shell and design aesthetic.
