My nephew loved it.

My Nerf armory begins and ends with the entire DinoSquad blaster line-up. In this review, Im going to share some objective facts about the Stego-Smash along with my opinion on how it performs and operates with adults and my 2 young children (ages 4 and 5), then compare it to the other DinoSquad blasters in the line-up. The Stego-Smash is a single shot spring-powered blaster with a 5 dart capacity. To operate it simply take a dart and load it directly into the muzzle, pull the priming handle back, and youre ready to fling. Thats it really, its mechanically the simplest blaster of the DinoSquad line-up. Positives: We love the aesthetics of this blaster and the Stegosaurus plates along the top are relatively soft to the touch and can be used as crude iron sights. To my adult hand the blaster is reasonably comfortable. The plastic feels durable and Ive no complaints about the fit and finish. I do not own a chronograph, but in my side-by-side comparison, Id say this is without a doubt the hardest hitting blaster in my DinoSquad collection. In my EXCLUSIVE pain-o-meter testing (i.e. when Im shot by this blaster), Id peg it at about a 5/10 which I consider above par for Nerf. This thing will sting, but not nearly severe enough to pause or end a game of foam flinging (except for eye shots). Its also relatively accurate, particularly with waffle head darts. The best part is my young children (one was 3 years old when we got this blaster) are able to prime this blaster because this mechanism is much easier for young children to operate. Oh and its really inexpensive! Negatives: Since this is a single shot muzzle loaded blaster, its slow to get successive shots on target. The handguard may be too confining for larger adult hands. If you have multiple young children who struggle to prime other springer blasters, they will fight over this one. This blaster hits harder than the rest of my DinoSquad blasters, Id recommend some sort of face protection because a dart did fly into an eye once which ended the game. Lastly, the Stegosaurus aesthetics may make this too bulky to be a true sidearm choice. Overall, this blaster is an excellent value. This is a decent sidearm choice if youre going to stick with the DinoSquad theme. The Tricera-Blast is still my favorite DinoSquad blaster, it is just too fun to manipulate and a pleasure to operate. If you have young children who struggle to prime other springer blasters, then Id recommend the StegoSmash. As an adult, if you want to shower your opponents with foam, then Id recommend the Rex-Rampage instead.

My boy loves it for a bday gift

Good gift for a Nerf-lovin kid!

Cool nerf gun

5 yr old loves and can use independently!

Nice price, the kids liked it.

This comes at a perfect time. With all of the dino tv shows and the upcoming power rangers dino my kids are obsessed. This is a great way to give them dinos but also keep them active. The accuracy is pretty great but if you are not aiming it could tilt off anywhere. The design is great even when they inevitably get over dinos.
