"We own 38 Nerf/Tiger Phoenix-LTX taggers and 24 of the Dynasty Toys CTF sets. The Phoenix-LTX system has been a solid laser tag solution for us for the past 8 years. These Laser Ops Pro taggers, so far, are the new go to laser tag solution for us.Construction wise it’s very solid. The different components of the gun are colord plastic, not painted which is a first for me. The trigger, reload action, and haptic (vibrating) feedback feels natural and the sliding bolt action when firing is a totally separate motor from the vibration you feel when being tagged. Its a very cool feature and along with the illuminated monochrome display, makes the price jump from the pistols totally worth it. The grip is a little awkward but you get used to it. We noticed some of the junior high students stuggle to handle it, but then taller high school students felt it wasn’t long enough. The location of the sensor if great and id say, the best part of the build of the gun is the accuracy. 30% more accurate over the LTX and 50% less prone to ricochet when on indoor mode. Reload action isnt as satisfying as the LTX but we have had 3 totally fail to reload due to the pressure sensor breaking.The app that is bundled with this system is amazing. Very easy to pair the taggers quickly and efficiently. The taggers can be named within the app and their names become registered with a central server responsible for global leaderboards. In group games with all taggers paired with the same device, score tracking is totally awesome. A feature that sets this system apart from all other consumer taggers.I am in love with this release, and hope they continue to expand on this line. These rifles aren’t as easy to find as the pistols, and the modding potential for this rifle is deep. Off the bat, coming up with a way to cradle charge the batteries would put these in a commercial category.I have a youth ministry of 60+ students. During all night events, we utilize the entire church property to play. The LTX’s range and accuracy was something that couldn’t be beaten until now.I will write a follow up when we get a few games under our belts."

We purchased four of these Nerf Laser guns for Christmas for our kids (ages 5 and 7). We decided on two of the larger Combat Blasters and two of the smaller Alpha Point guns. We've played with them every night since and it's been a great after dinner family activity that we hope will help get us through a long winter with more time indoors.Comparing the two guns: the Blaster is definitely the grown ups choice while the smaller Alpha tends to be picked by the kids. The Blaster has a larger magazine and shoots in 3 round bursts. It has hepatic feedback (vibration) and a small screen that shows life and ammo. The Alpha has 5 rounds per magazine and is single fire. There is no vibration and two icons that light in various colors to show life and ammo. My kids are smaller and the Alpha seems to be the choice for them due to it's smaller size. The larger blaster seems to be a bit cumbersome for them to manage while running around the house and screaming like banshees.The accuracy on both guns is very impressive. You really do have to aim the gun at the red sensor on the front - it isn't all that easy to get a hit and makes play more fun as you need to line up your shot before you take it. This may be a little tricky for littler kids to get the hang of and not be frustrated. If it's really a problem you can set the adult guns on outdoor mode to even the playing field a bit. There are two modes - indoor and outdoor. Switching to outdoor mode makes it much easier to hit a target while playing indoors so you want to make sure to be on indoor mode when indoors, otherwise you'll be getting hit while standing behind walls.Connecting the guns to the online app was very simple. A few button pushes and we were all set to go. We haven't played the app version where everyone connects a phone into the game (kids don't have cell phones) but we have played with one phone for the entire group. The phone app is great in that you can set a time for the match and the guns will be activated together and then shut down together. Also, with the phone app you aren't out of the game when you run out of life as you would be just playing on your own. Once you run out of life, your gun shuts down for 10 seconds, a countdown starts, then the gun powers back up and you can rejoin. In a game without the phone app, once you run out of lives you either are out of the game or have to turn off your gun and turn in back on to join back in. It's also fun to see all the stats at the end of the game (hits, players killed, times you were killed).The guns so far (after a week) seem to be well made. They've been dropped several times (hello 5 and 7) and seem no worse for the wear. We've played for 7 nights for 15-30 minutes at a time and the batteries are still going strong. Overall, definitely exceeding my expectations at this point. Can't wait to try them outdoors at night this summer.Anonymous

These are honestly the best laser guns on the market. My family has owned a few different laser tag products and they all have pros and cons. That being said, these are the most durable and fun blasters and typically our "go to" for games. What I like is that we don't get frustrated when shooting at each other because you don't have to be a real life sniper. Other product's laser beams semester to be much thinner and require exact life life sinking. My youngest son tends to get frustrated because he finds it hard to shoot us with other laser tag products. The last seem to be slightly "wider", meaning you still have to decent aim and shoot, but it's a bit more friendly.The guns have not broken to date and we've had them just over a year. We bought an alternative laser tag company's guns close to the same time. They were being sold in packs of four guns, and two of them have stopped working. So need wine in this areaas well.The guns can either just be turned on and your ready to play or you can connect them to phones with the app. It's nice to have the option but we typically use phones. We let the kids use some very old touch screen phones with the apps installed so they can get full functionality. I will say that it might take an adult to do the initial setup, but once that's done the kids should be able to use it from then on out. It's not as complicated as some people have said. My son is 8 and can work it. Kids these days are proficient with video games, iPads, and tech. My son knows how to troubleshoot it himself.The phones 100% set these guns aside from all other laser tag guns on the market. If the phones are connected, the kids can now track their hits, show how many shots they have left, and lets them recieve super abilities like regain health, radars, super power shots and other cool things every so often. They kids level up and they can unlock more abilities as they do so.In short, this is like an interactive video game for kids where they can run around outside and play hide and go seek with cool tech. It beats having them stay inside the house in nice days! I think they're pretty awesome after I realized their potential.... And they're great for kids of all ages... "Cough... Ahem"... 😀michael s dehaven

The media could not be loaded. We got two of these and fourteen of the single blasters (seven 2-packs) for an upcoming birthday party. I've already had to repair two of them. The reload on one of the deltabursts stopped working, the microswitch inside failed, and the trigger on an alphapoint stopped working, same problem. They are easy to repair for anyone with some low level electronics skills.Now for the fun. There are several ways to play with these. The first is standard laser tag with no phone attached. This is good for a quick pick up game or for young kids but not the best way to play with these. If you want to play with no phone look elsewhere for more fun (Nerf Phoenix are FANTASTIC for old school laser tag). The next or second way to play is with a single phone linked to all guns. This is our plan for the birthday party and is pretty fun. By having all the guns linked to the phone you can start a match, team or solo, with a timer and at the end every can see their kills, accuracy and who the winner was. The third, and best, way to play is with a separate phone linked to each device. With this set up you can use power ups, level up your blaster and have the interface right on your arm throughout the game. The included wristband does the trick but if you have a third party one for running it is probably more comfortable and easier as it would be made for your phone. These come with the solo attachment which is a fine way to 'level up' your weapon when you cant play with someone else. This is the fourth way to play and you'll need to use it to unlock two of the power ups. Solo play is fun but performance can be erratic.We've tried a few others and here is a quick comparison"Vs the Alphapoint blaster (same system)- Range and shot power is the same. These have a nice LCD display on the rear giving you clip and health stats. They are three round burst only, vs single shot for the Alphapoints, I prefer the Deltaburst but both are fairly evenly matched.Vs Phoenix LTX- The Phoenix blaster trounce these things when it comes to old school laster tag. The LTX blasters have a shield button and you can set the switch to 10 or 25 lives. On the Laser Ops with no phone its five hits and you're out so old school battles don't get as engaging. The range seems to be better on the LTX blasters as well but range has been great for both so no complaints on the Laser Ops Pro (we'll be doing a range comparison soon and I'll update). Fire rate is much better on the LTX blasters. Both have an indoor and outdoor mode and work great in daylight and at night (use outdoor mode only during daylight as it makes the receiver far more sensitive to compensate for the sunlight)Vs Laser X- Laser X has a much broader assortment of weapons to choose from. Unlike Laser Ops Pro which has the sensor in the dome of the gun, Laser X has the old school chest sensor making it far easier to cheat by hiding behind cover and shooting. Reloading is a pain on the Laser X and they are horrible in sunlight so you need to play indoors or at night. Laser Ops Pro work great in all conditions. We tried the long range blaster and the standard blasters and were unimpressed by both. My advice is avoid the Laser X.Vs Recoil- Recoil is a phone required blaster. The starter kit comes with a wifi hub that is required to use the OEM app for the game (there is a third party app called SimpleCoil that gets rid of the need for the hub). The guns for recoil are ALOT nicer then the guns for LaserOps pro. There are two, the RK-45 pistol and the SR-12 rifle, they also have a grenade that we haven't tried yet. The phones mount directly on the guns with these and there is no option to play without them. As well they require a modern Android or IOS smartphone, many older models wont connect or don't work right. We've picked up a few of these at a nice price and they are pretty fun. The app is a bit buggy but its far more ambitious than LaserOps pro (at the moment- C'MON HASBRO!). With Recoil you can plant virtual landmines, launch air strikes, pick up armor and a number of other enhancements. Hub range is 250 feet in any direction but you can mod it with a booster and better antenna with a small amount of technical aptitude to get a much better range. There are videos on the web showing how to do it.(we have antenna and booster inbound from Amazon and will update upon success). Laser Ops pro is far more versatile and better for all ages as you can manage it from one phone and let the younger crowd play. Its also easier to grab LaserOps Pro and kick off a game in the park or in the mall without the worrisome need of leaving the wifi router in the middle where somebody could take it. Simple coil negates the need for the hub but is a third party app for Android only. If you have young kids or players with no phone than Laser Ops Pro is the better choice. For older kids (and adultchase richard

I was on a long hunt for a good laser tag gun. at the time RECOIL was looking like the best option but didn't like the fact everyone needed a smartphone. when I found this I was hesitant...but man does this thing have options! you can play with them out of the box (as long as you add batteries) without a phone. and you can have multiple players where 1 person has a smart phone and everyone is linked to it...you can check your scores this way after a game. I will say its more involved if everyone has a smartphone...but again...you don't need it to have fun. I'll be getting a bunch of these and nerf rival blasters for game days when my sons friends come over. I hope I'll get enough before I see them off the market. can't recommend them enoughhead casey

I don't like giving 5 star reviews. I tend to ignore them myself. But these are pretty awesome. I had doubts they would work. But they work inside and out. Only negative I can think of is they are to bright to use at night, and to loud to use indoors. Had to modify them. Just some strips of black tape. But seriously, I own 1 of the rifles and 5 of the pistols. Was gonna use them at a family reunion.These will just get better she nerf puts more products out for this.They have places for slings and I can see them making holster accessories I the future.The range is great. The accuracy is great. The are so fun.Don't know about durability yet. Haven't dropped them.Totally worth the money.What Customers Talk About
