Review - Stampede ECS



The Stampede ECS is, for all practical purposes, an electrified Longshot.  It has excellent range, for an N-Strike blaster, is quite reliable, and has an impressive RoF for a stock blaster.

However, there are a few beefs I have with it.

First off, it doesn't have a manual-firing mode.  This may not be a humongous problem, but it is a problem when your batteries die in the middle of a brawl.

Second, it is kinda heavy.  Sure, this isn't something that would cause a problem for anyone over the age of 10, but the unnecessary weight makes the blaster somewhat cumbersome.  At least it is back-heavy, though, unlike the Vulcan.  I'm sure that C cell batteries could operate a Stampede!

Even with these in mind, the Stampede was the best blaster from the N-Strike series.
