NERF Doomlands 2169 Vagabond Blaster (Multi-Colour)

Product Information

The Double Dealer has an insane 24 dart capacity thanks to the inclusion of two, horizontally loaded, clips meaning you can keep blasting for longer! The iconic Doomlands transparent window inclusion also massively helps out on the Double Dealer, each clip is transparent meaning you can see how many darts you have left (it is also pretty cool to see your clip deplete as you deliver justice across the field). The addition of a transparent window into the firing mechanism is a nice touch but doesn’t add anything to the actual blasting experience so is purely aesthetic (but it is quite cool to see what is going on inside…).

However it is too large to realistically be slung as a secondary blaster, but has no magazines or slam-fire to make it an obvious primary weapon. This is a non-slam fire spring blaster, so you are never going to keep up with a flywheeler, but with a bit of practice at fan-firing, cowboy style, you can get a pretty decent rate of fire. So is it nothing more than a cool looking blaster or does it have a place in a serious NERFers collection? Unboxing & Getting Started Incredibly good fun and comfortable to use, it feels like shooting a sawn-off shotgun from the hip!

So we can see this hammer-action blaster looks as cool as, plus it should fire with decent amounts of power. The Doomlands series was originally known as Badlands during development, evident from images of the Lawbringer prototype. [1] Other than that, some people just don’t like this priming style. So if you are one of those, I wouldn’t buy a Lawbringer! You can partially re-load the large 12 round drum as it is front loading, so it is operational as soon as a single round is loaded.

Looking at the grip, the handle feels a little weird initially as the angle is very steep for a blaster the size of this. Once you get used to it it’s not uncomfortable so there’s no problem there. One thing to keep in mind is that the Persuader fires from top to bottom so make sure that you adjust your aim as you blast. Another cool feature of the Doomlands Persuader is that it features a transparent cover over the firing mechanism. If you have ever wondered about the inner workings of your blaster now you can take a look and keep unleashing dart mayhem in the process.

The series also has a YouTube mini-series that follow the story the products represent, revolving around a main protagonist named "the Doomlander". The internals are made to the same spec as the Elite blasters and we actually got a slightly higher than average set of figures for the muzzle velocity, averaging 73FPS.
