GamesRadar+ Verdict

The Nerf Pro Gelfire Mythic makes a lot of grand promises, but they aren't marketing fluff - this blaster is superb and works just as well (or better) than advertised. Although there are still some wrinkles to iron out due to occasional jams and the hopper blocking your view whi𝄹le aiming, it excels in every other sense.
