Buzz Bee review: Rogue

We're going to start the dart gun reviews by reviewing Buzz Bee's "Rogue" handgun.


The Rogue is part of Buzz Bee's "Air Warriors" line.
Normal List Price (USD): $4.99

Color Scheme: This is the standard Buzz Bee color scheme: green/lime green/orange/yellow. I think that this is a clashing color scheme, but others tend to differ.

The cocking mechanism: Don't be fooled by the yellow decoration on the underside, that isn't the cocking mechanism. The lime green piece on the top is. The cocking mechanism is an external one, not like the Nerf Nite Finder, but rather like the Maverick. The only con is that this mech requires more of a pull than Nerf guns.

One note: The barrel does not revolve by pulling the trigger! You have to hand-revolve the barrel.

The gun fires with more of a "snap" than most Nerf guns. The speed of the missile makes the missiles sting a lot more.

This gun is a great gift, or something good to buy with your allowance.

Range: Wow! This will fire around 30-50 feet. Pretty good for a handgun of this size. (10/10)
Accuracy: Pretty good. (8/10)
Reliability: Doesn't jam too much because of the external barrel. The only caution is not to use Nerf darts, or this will jam. (9/10)
Rate: It fires quite quickly, but the way you have to revolve the barrel hinders the rate. (7/10)
Capacity: 4 darts max. (8/10)
General: 9/10. Very appealing gun.

FINAL GRADE: B


All in all, it's really cool! I recommend it!
