Game Face Prime Spring-Powered Foam Dart Blasters

Out the box, GameFace shoots similar to Nexus and DZ Pros. But, this one has newer improved design compared to Nexus and DZ. Nexus and DZ have older toyish design with all internal parts inside the two-piece exterior. But not this one... Pros: 1. Price - an updated design versus Nexus and DZ pros at a similar price. 2. Performance - FPS is similar to Nexus and DZ out the box BUT accuracy and grouping is noticeably better especially with the provided SCAR nozzle. Pumping action is smoother too. 3. Most internal parts are replaceable/upgradeable with readily available Nerf Retaliator parts. And Retaliator parts are a lot cheaper than Nexus and DZ upgrade parts. 4. Almost all parts are interchangeable with CEDA S (see photo). CEDA has more stable single-piece front barrel end. The rear portions for GameFace and CEDA are almost exactly the same. But, CEDA's price is much higher (as of this review date). Cons: 1. Jams more frequently than Nexus and DP, out the box. Upgrading a few parts and using good darts will fix this issue, just like Nexus and DP Pros. 2. The two-piece front end does move around and twist a bit, which is why I prefer the CEDA's front end. 3. Not safe for children. I can go on but if you like this stuff, I highly recommend this one. If you already own Nexus and/or DZ Pro, you just must try this GameFace or a CEDA.

I picked up this blaster when it was on a deep clearance sale. I think with shipping I paid like $42 total. It's a decent blaster, but it has a few quirks. It's also a bit outdated as far as high-performance hobbyist blasters go. The pros: 1. It takes half darts, which are much more aerodynamic and accurate. 2. It is powerful. A normal Nerf blaster can't really do much harm. Even if someone was shot in their eye with no protection, it's likely that they would make a full recovery. It would hurt, and the fun would stop, but they'd be fine in the long term. This blaster, however, packs a lot more of a punch. Eye protection is definitely a must when playing with this thing. It's not going to leave painful welts like airsoft does, but it'll still hurt. 3. It has standard rails for attachments. I can buy a reflex sight, laser, foregrip, or practically any accessory for an actual firearm or airsoft gun and mount it to this blaster with minimal difficulty. I wouldn't recommend mounting a $1,000+ EOTech holographic sight to this thing, but a cheap $25 reflex sight would do it nicely. 4. Upgrade parts are fairly readily available. This blaster uses some fairly standard internals, so it can be upgraded substantially with the right knowledge and parts. The cons: 1. It is rather creaky. The joint between the forward rail section and the upper receiver just feels… weak. I can flex the blaster pretty substantially without much effort. I don't know if I should be super worried about it breaking, but I don't fully trust it. 2. It takes katana magazines. These magazines are alright half dart magazines, but the hobby has pretty much fully embraced talon magazines (another style of half dart magazine). This blaster can take talon magazines, but it will require the magazine adapter from either a Nexus Pro, Aeon Pro, or Dart Zone Max Stryker blaster, and frankly all of those blasters are a better choice to me than this particular blaster. 3. It cannot take full length magazines. This blaster was designed in the early stages of commercial half dart blasters. Despite it having a full length magwell capable of having a full length magazine inserted, this blaster cannot use full length darts whatsoever. The bolt does not pull back far enough to clear the back of a full length darts, so it just simply cannot use them. The only reason it even has a full length magazine is for compatibility with ancient early half dart magazines that fit into full length magwells but only took half length darts. These magazines looked like a capital "T" and are basically unavailable anywhere these days. Modern half length magazines are better anyways. 4. The stock must be destroyed to be removed. This blaster features what looks like a standard AR buffer tube. You might be tempted to try and slide off the stock and attach an airsoft stock of your choice, but unfortunately that is impossible without destroying the locking tab of the original stock. Conclusion: In the end, yes this is a high performance blaster, but it is incredibly dated. When anyone can walk into a Walmart and pick up a Nexus Pro for around $60, it's very difficult to justify purchasing this blaster at full price. A Nexus Pro has similar upgradability, better magazine compatibility (it can use both half length and full length darts), and better accessory compatibility (the stock can easily be swapped). A Nexus Pro is also just sturdier. I don't worry about breaking my Nexus Pro by flexing it a bit. I kinda do with this blaster. If it's on sale, go ahead. It's a great blaster for under $45. If it's full price, do yourself a favor: drive to Walmart and buy a Nexus Pro.

This blaster is insane!! The second I took it out of its packaging I was a little worried that it wouldn’t shoot as hard as it states but when I shot my hand up close it gave me an idea as to how serious this blaster is. Now I had some problems at first with shipping because my first package was damaged but when I spoke to the people who sold this item they were extremely helpful and sent me a new one right away which arrived 3 days after shipped and that just shows how much these people care about their customers. Now more on the blaster, it has some wiggly parts but overall you don’t notice it unless you wiggle them on purpose, and the stock does collapse on you if you put too much pressure but that should be expected with a cheaply designed stock. Now if you want some serious fire power this is what you are looking for and it’s pretty damn accurate. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone playing indoors and up close because you could pretty easily take someone’s eyes out, but if you play outdoors at a distance the fire power is perfect for landing shots.

I've been outta the foam flinging loop for awhile, but after I heard about the Dartzone Nexus Pro, I saw the Ceda platform of blasters.... Now that I have a Game Face Prime AND the Nexus Pro I can definitely say what I originally suspected about the quality and accuracy were correct. The Game Face Prime feels much closer to a real steel firearms, & is way more accurate. The Nexus is nice, don't get me wrong, but feels more like a toy to me now that I got the Prime. Anyway, yeah if you want to get a super nice, hard hitting blaster for pro level nerfing, this is the one! Mine doesn't have the "wobble" that some have mentioned plagues alotta Ceda model blasters. I do run a reflex red dot up top just ahead of of the would be ejection port. The optic bridges the front M lok section to the upper. Super solid, also check out Etsy for tons of accessories for the GF Prime that you may want or need later. This is the nicest/1st 3rd party Springer blaster I've shot. It truly makes most Nerf blasters feel like toys. Buy one, you'll love it,
