BOOMco. Spinsanity 3X Blaster, Standard Packaging

While much of the attention for the BOOMco. line seems to have fallen on its flashier brethren (the DartSplosion and Rapid Madness spring to mind), I feel that the Spinsanity 3X may well be the most truly practical creations to come out of Mattel's design studio. This blaster utilizes a motorized flywheel mechanism similar in many ways to those made popular in competing blasters, but scaled for BOOMco.'s proprietary Smart Stick darts. The flywheel motor is activated with a small sub-trigger and powered by 6 "AA" batteries, which make it a bit of a power hog compared to its contemporaries. The "Spinsanity 3X" moniker is taken from this blaster's three revolving cylinders, which each house 10 darts. The cylinders advance automatically with a trigger pull, and are then swapped by pumping the foregrip of the blaster. Interestingly, each cylinder can be completely removed from the rotating carriage assembly, which allows for hot-swapping of extra cylinders (not included) or can simply be used to ease reloading. Performance wise, this blaster is on par with much of its competitors in terms of range and power, but as standard for BOOMco. the accuracy is actually reasonably better, thanks primarily to the superior design of the plastic Smart Stick darts. Taken as a whole, the Spinsanity is a well-rounded blaster with a solid, contemporary design and no-nonsense performance; at Amazon prices, it's a steal for any blaster enthusiast!

This gun looks really cool, but honestly the design is so delicate that it's a miracle to get the thing to actually work consistently. It's simply not fun.So two things to know about this before you buy.1) It requires 6 batteries to actually work despite looking like it's pump action, and the pump action is only used to rotate the dart cylinders. You actually have to press and hold a button to get the motor running and then you "try" to press the trigger. I see the product details indicate it does require batteries but it wasn't clear, to me at least, that it's not a manual fire gun...which I think is more fun.2) To the previous point, you "try" to press the trigger because more often than not the darts are not aligned and it jams. The reason being the rotating cylinders never really line up correctly and it doesn't automatically line up the darts. I would say you're lucky if 1 out of 9 trigger pulls gets a shot off. This is the major design flaw of the gun.Overall we're really disappointed in these (we bought a couple) and so were the kids. It's a really cool looking gun but the design makes this more frustrating than anything. I see a lot of positive reviews from other users. Not sure how many of them actually tried playing with these. Would likely not buy anything from BOOMco again.

For the price that these are offered for, they are amazing. They could be sold for much more.My husband originally bought one for himself. He likes to shoot it and our 1-year old likes to gather up all the darts. He loves this nerf gun so much that he bought two more for his brother and nephew. They’re going to be a bit hit this Christmas!Things I like - SO MANY DARTS INCLUDED! This is the best feature. It’s kinda a must-have for nerf-gun fights. Also, it’s a very easy gun to use (even my nephew can figure it out).Was this review helpful? If so, please indicate so by clicking “yes” below.

Love that the darts stick to the target. I actually prefer these darts over Nerf. However, they would probably hurt a bit if it hit someone close range. The only bad thing is that the cartridge that holds the darts sometimes gets stuck so it doesn't fire continuously without getting stuck at some point. Still lots of fun for 8 year old (and parents)!

i don't like it , it doesn't fire that well and the darts need to be evenly in for it to fire. the box says it is automatic but it is only semi-automatic and you need 6 AA batteries and it doesn't fire that fast. the target only works one time with the darts the you have to get a refill. you can't wash it that well. it is though good for laying a rain of fire from a high point but if you get it to run it is very strong, painful sometimes to, but

It is a great gun, but the jamming factor is a bit much at times. But once you figure out the trigger and right timing it works well. My 6 year old is using this one, and at times has the jamming issues. Overall 4 stars for that reason, all other things about this gun would make it 5 stars.

After seeing the Boomco blasters/slammers, I wonder how Nerf is more popular.... Also BOOMco toys are not available in ToysrUS etc. Seems to be some kind of marketing or sales channel issue. My kids have 3 or 4 varieties of these and they absolutely love these. We stopped buying Nerf now. One key differentiator is the plastic darts with Boomco compared to foam darts with nerf. One caution though, almost all the BOOMco toys my kids have seem to shoot at faster speed than Nerf, so should be cautious when kids less that recommended age are around.

My 8 year old son loved it. The noise did not bother him as he thought that was even cooler that it is loud! Randomly jams up but I haven't found a Nerf or Boom Co. that is perfect without any jamming. Really cool BOOMco! Darts are fun colors, rotating ammo works really well.

Die Spinsanity ist ein halbautomatischer Flywheelblaster, der 30 Pfeile in einem "Magazin" hält, einer Spindel, in der drei Trommeln a 10 Schuss rotieren. Man kann zwar keine Magazine wechseln, aber die Trommeln rotiert man schnell durch mit einem Pumpgriff.Die Performance ist eher mittelprächtig: Viele Jams, weil man darauf achten muss, dass die Darts auch wirklich komplett nach hinten durchgesteckt sind, sonst verweigert der Blaster seinen Dienst. Er zickt auch rum, wenn der Pumpgriff zum wechseln der Trommeln vorne arritiert ist. Dafür ist sie für einen Flywheelblaster verblüffend präzise, auch wenn mein Modell einen leichten Rechtsdrall hat. Wenn man den einkalkuliert, trifft man Ziele mit einem 20-cm-Durchmesser auf fünf bis acht Meter Entfernung zuverlässig (5 bis 8 von 10 Schüssen). Durch die Smart-Stick-Ziele kann man diese Treffer auch nachvollziehen (Bei Nerf ist man, ohne Suction Cup Darts, auf Dosen, Becher oder bspw. einen Gong als Ziel angewiesen - und bekäme ohnehin nur gezeigt, dass die Darts hinfliegen, wohin sie wollen), was echt cool ist.Der Griff selbst ist total okay von der Größe her, es nervt nur, dass man den Blaster kaum gescheit mit einer Hand anheben kann, ohne auf den Trigger für den Motor zu fassen. Sowas wie ein Handguard für den Griffbereich oder sowas wie ne eingebaute Schulterstütze wäre schon nett gewesen, gerade bei sowas wie deren "Flagship-Blaster", für den die ja auch gutes Geld verlangt haben bis vor kurzem.Das Coole an BoomCo ist allerdings die Munition: Die bleibt an bestimmten Oberflächen haften und hat kein Loch in der Spitze, durch das der Luftstrom aussen verwirbelt werden und der Dart abdriften würde. Die Darts fliegen ungebremst und relativ (!) genau in die Richtung, in die man schießt. Ein selbstklebendes Ziel ist bei jedem Blaster dabei, ich hab bereits zwei auf die Pappe vom Versandkarton geklebt und im Zimmer aufgehangen. Die Darts halten auch sehr gut; die Kappe mit dem selbstklebenden Gummi wird beim ablösen teilweise richtig in die Länge gezogen. Da die Kappen Staub anziehen wie Sau ist es praktisch, dass der gesamte Dart aus Plastik ist (kein Schaumstoff, sondern ein Material dass sich mit sehr dicken Strohhalmen vergleichen lässt, allerdings weit weniger knickanfällig und aus weicherem Plastik) und man sie einfach unterm Wasserhahn abspülen kann.

Hallo,eine richtige Rezension spar ich mir jetzt mal da Text nie das ausrücken könnte was mein Video zeigt (dazu einfach mal im Kommentar schauen).Schicker Blaster von Boomco der 2 Monate Verspätung bei der Erscheinung hatte (diese sollte ja am 01.07.2015 sein).Verarbeitung ist sehr gut und der Blaster liegt angenehm in der Hand. 3 Trommeln gibt es (diese werden einfach eingeklickt) die jeweils 10 Darts fassen. Nachdem eine Trommel durchgeschossen wurde schaltet man mittels Pumpgriff zur nächsten Trommel.Jeder Schuss muss manuell abgegeben werden. Die Darts fliegen um die 14 - 15 Meter weit, zwar nicht so die Welt, aber dafür fliegen diese schon ziemlich genau. Von der Verarbeitung her erinnern diese mehr an Strohhalme. Der cool fand ich, dass die Darts auf der mitgelieferten Zielscheibe haften. Sie lassen sich auch wieder einfach ablösen. Der Blaster arbeitet per FlyWheel und es werden Batterien benötigt.Es kann aber schon mal vorkommen das sich ein Dart verklemmt !Kurz und Knapp: Toller Blaster mit dem man prima kleine Zielwettkämpfe mittels Zielscheibe machen kann.Demnächst erscheint noch die "Dartsplosion 72" mit 2 Trommeln die 72 Darts fassen. Das wäre neuer Rekord ;-)

Picked up some fresh batteries and started it up. And let me tell you, as soon as you start shooting people will know you're there so don't bother sneaking around if you're in a Nerf war. It sounds like a small vacuum. Fortunately the fire rate more than makes up for it. And with three cartridges you can fire off an array of darts one after another. I don't know how long it takes before it drains the batteries; that'll be the next thing to check. For now I love this toy

Love this toy definitely worth the purchase

Il fucile è molto belloArrivato in tempi brevissimi e in un imballaggio perfetto come al solitoNo metto 5 stelle poichè il motore che spinge i vari colpi fa un casino assordante e inoltre se manca un proiettile in uno dei tre tamburi quando si va a sparare il colpo vuoto si inceppa ed è capitato più volte di doverci inserire la mano dentro per sbloccarlo ( ma questo mi è capitato circa 4 volte fino ad ora )Per il resto funziona a meravigliaQuindi tutto sommato un buon prodotto
