I've heard of some clearance sales in the US taking them down to 10USD and less - for those prices it's a definite buy, <15USD is an absolute steal. On sale the Rapid Red is a decent buy, not as good value as some other blasters, but it can be made into a very effective blaster. I take an overhauled RR as a backup primary at MHvZ, and likely other Melbourne Nerf events I'll hopefully get around to attending.įor its regular retail price, the Rapid Red is a buy only if you absolutely love how it looks, because 39AUD is too high for what it is. When properly modded the flywheel spin-up time becomes pretty much negligible, removing one of the major drawbacks of stock flywheelers. It's quite effective (assuming you're not using a stock grey trigger one) for all round combat, not as accurate as most springers but generally faster firing. The RR serves much the same role as an attachment-less Stryfe, a semi auto flywheeler pistol. 29AUD is much more reasonable, on par with the regular price of an EAT when that was around. 39AUD is pretty steep for effectively a Stryfe with a 12 clip (mag), since Stryfes were regularly 25AUD at Kmart. I've only ever seen one shipment of them, they suddenly appeared for that one sale, then disappeared afterwards. The Rapid Red used to be available at BigW for 39AUD, down to 29AUD on sale, which is when I bought mine. 5dps is not a problem, and higher can be achieved with the right technique, though such high ROFs are generally not usably effective. Rate of fire is about the same as is normal for the Stryfe platform, though hampered slightly by the odd trigger guard. At the usual 8ish metre away doorway I can get a majority of darts through without issue, but still a significant minority hit the frame. Even with the lack of power the darts like to not fly straight. Unfortunately a grey trigger Rapid Red is no better than a GT Stryfe, ranges of about 9m flat are slightly optimistic.Īccuracy is decent, but not great.
