Performance-wise, it is a worse version of an SKD M1911 or Gelstorm blaster, but I think it does look pretty cool for a toy.

With these improvements, and swapping in the stronger spring from a Dart Zone Mk2 and adding a spring spacer, I achieved a velocity high of 193ft/s.

In Australia, our government has deemed Gel Blasters to be firearms, requiring a firearms license, serialisation and gun safes. Some states in Australia have outright banned Gel Blasters as illegal firearms unable to own at all.
Let's discuss the Nerf Pro Gel Fire and what this means for Australia.

The passive heat detection means the enemies see nothing, but I see everything. It was a little over powered to be honest.
Here's a link to the thermal scope:

This is the cheapest thermal scope I've ever seen and I purchased it myself.

The Caliburn is probably the most recognisable hobby level Nerf blaster and to this day holds the highest recorded Nerf springer velocity of near 500fps.
