[REVIEW] Air Warriors Monorail Blaster | Great or Garbage??! [Nerf War Tested]

My Review & Honest Thoughts on the Air Warriors Monorail Blaster

To be upfront, I was ready to tear this thing apart. Like no mercy (See my XShot Skins group review Last Stand section for what that would have looked like.) Then I started testing it with various darts (See:    • What's the Best Nerf Dart in 2024? | ...   for all that I tested) and found that Nerf Elite darts and XShot APT darts handled great in the Monorail. As such I only recommend using XShot APT darts (link below).

This blaster is part 2 of a small series of "Dollar General" blasters. At $15 its a very reasonable ask for a blaster that just requires a tiny amount of commitment to run effectively. When it works, it shoots harder than most!

Stats:
This blaster has been fielded occasionally for years, with most players dropping it due to frustration after one game (This was prior to my findings with the XShot APT Darts). This was mostly run by other players and I almost never ran this one myself. Safe to say it became kind of a meme pick. I'm curious if this blaster will see new life now that I've got several hundred of the XShot darts.
Includes the blaster itself, Attachable Ironsight & 12 Long Distance Darts (These darts don't work reliably, stick to XShot APT Darts)

Who is LeonnSR5?
The LeonnSR5 channel is a lover of all things casual nerf. While my current focus is on reviews, I plan on doing much more styles of content. I (Leonn) have been hosting private casual nerf events for 7+ years in my CQC Outdoor arena! I care very deeply about casual nerf and its health in the community. For my reviews, play testing is king! No blaster will be reviewed until it sees at least some action. I'm giving my honest feedback after use, not just my first impressions in a studio. I'll also put the blaster through a rigorous testing phase. If you want a much more relaxed style of reviews & nerf content, LeonnSR5 is it!
