Review on Official Fortnite Blaster Rotating - NERF for SEO by Eric Smithlin

TLDR a more stylish Hammershot with increased capacity and slightly slower reloading. Limited compatibility with metal sets and generally less reliable for performance-oriented players who need more in-game skill. Buy it now for me. Even as someone who doesn't like Fortnite, I could appreciate the design as it felt more like "Big Iron" than Hammershot, with a thin profile resembling Rebelle Sweet Revenge. Best of all, the giant barrel with the Fortnite logo is removable (remember, it's not meant to be removed) - while the blaster looks a bit cartoonish, I can at least pretend it's not a Fortnite pistol. Because it's thinner and slightly longer, I had a lot more fun spinning it around my Big Orange like a mad criminal than the burly Hammershot, and it just feels better in the hand overall. The Fortnite logo wasn't enough, the barrel is ridiculously long (you can smack your face while trying to spin the blaster), and the "front blade scope" is super thick, to the point of on who would have been better off not having iron sights at all. If you like the look, the inner diameter of the barrel is quite large and should not affect the range in any way. Range and performance are also on par with the Hammershot, which isn't surprising considering the internals are nearly identical. There are a few differences though: a notch has been added to the hammer as a safety mechanism, a retracted trigger guard that the Hammershot is known for. While I appreciate the reduced chance of being accidentally fired since this product was designed for 8 year olds, I immediately replaced the hammer with one from an old Hammershot. The firing pin seems to fit perfectly, but the metal trigger is too thick for the 6-SH shell - you'll either have to use the provided trigger (may increase wear due to plastic on metal) or cut out the trigger area with a dremel. However, due to the shape of the handle, it's not worth it as the hand is naturally uncomfortably close to the hammer, especially when "fanning the hammer" with a metal kit like Blasterparts'. This forces the user to be extra careful when performing this technique. The 6-SH frame, while elegant, can also severely impact a blaster's reliability and ease of use. It's easier to jam because the drum is sometimes misaligned with the barrel, especially when firing fast. In addition, the front of the frame interferes with reloading, as it blocks the chamber from which it is most logical to start reloading. A note on the cylinder is that it spins fairly freely compared to the Hammershot so reloading isn't too bad and makes a nice rattling noise when spinning, however it does tend to spin when the blaster is moving fast, like when you're walking. When adding tape to increase friction between the cylinder and frame, sometimes the cylinder would not spin when the blaster was primed, although it might be worth it if you have the patience to find the perfect width. I didn't and for these reasons I wouldn't recommend this blaster over the Hammershot for situations like HvZ. Overall, the interfering frame and grip angle hold this blaster back in my opinion. While I didn't think it was worth the hassle of fitting a metal kit into this blaster, it's pretty good for the price, and it's not. As reliable as the Hammershot, it more closely resembles a classic six shooter. For those with the skills and those aware of its shortcomings, this is a great blaster that can tag people while looking really cool despite being technically a "Fortnite pistol".
