I chose the Alpha Trooper (for me) after carefully studying all "blasters" Nerf and the qualities and defects of those of my son Maverick, Barricade, Recon, Fire Fury, Jolt, Triad, Firestrike , Retaliator, Rampage, Rapidstrike, Demolisher and Mega Thunderbow. Alpha Trooper combines ergonomics and balance of the Retaliator, including the excellent and too rare Charger 12 darts at a rate of infernal shot Rampage. All with the power of the Elite system. And without batteries, which is always an advantage (cost, weight ...) Faults? Yes, two. The first, shared also with the Rampage and Retaliator, concerns Darts: Alpha Trooper requires darts in excellent condition, and its charging system tends to twist or even break them, at the junction of the "head "and" body. " The second common with the Rampage, is the lack of lacrosse, petty the asking price. This is all still not Hasbro proposes accessory. Not nice to have to buy a used Raider for a complete blaster! What costs to me at the Alpha Trooper its fifth star, and that's a shame!
