As for the arm being flimsy, I disagree on that. I agree that the priming lever is definitely not something I saw from this blaster in the preliminary photos, but what’s done is done, and if you can fit this with your playing style, then game on. One concern I have read about on other reviews is the Nerf Vortex Diatron’s priming lever is flimsy and counterintuitive. In the video I show how to troubleshoot the Diatron if only one disc loads on accident for some reason, but I see many people not reading the manual and wondering why their blaster is broken and the trigger is not pulling. The Diatron REQUIRES 2 discs loaded to fire, and it jams if there’s only one. Thankfully, the extra shot trick still works (check the video for that). It’s a lot easier to palm 5 discs and slam them all in at once as opposed to the 10, 6 of which you might be able to bunch in, and individually reload the rest. Also, the Diatron’s a bit tougher to reload than the Vigilon. While the mag release IS on both sides, the priming lever and jam release placements might be problematic for lefties. That being said, there are some issues to consider about the Nerf Vortex Diatron. The thing is Vortex discs are so unpredictable in flight sometimes you do run the risk of getting tagged no matter what you do. The discs are stacked vertically when they exit the barrel and spread apart, with the bottom disc getting the lower end of the range, while the top-stacked disc goes a few feet further. It fires pretty decently too, within the normal tolerances of a stock blaster, hitting anywhere from 40-50′. So the blaster’s multishot is a nice change of pace from what we’ve seen with the Vortex line so far, the paintjob is pretty cool, and the design is fresh from science fiction.
