Double Standards?

Over a week ago, Nerf released two different versions of the Nerf Elite Retaliator video; one in Imperial and one in Metric, and the two range claims did not add up. Today, Nerf explained the reason on their Facebook page:

"We pride ourselves on offering high-performance blasters that adhere to our own strict safety standards, as well as standards set by each country where Nerf blasters are available. It is for this reason that, while most of our fans internationally will be seeing up to 75 foot distances using the N-Strike Elite blasters, members of Nerf Nation located in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, China and the Philippines will see a distance of up to 15 meters."

  1. I wondered if that was the reason. This gives us even more fuel for the 75 foot range speculation if they go so far as to list the "safer" versions at 49 feet (15 Meters).

  2. im from Australia and the guns for us only get 15m (50 feet)? The elite series just lost my interest considering they were mostly the same guns but with better performance

  3. It is sucky that we (I'm from Australia) will be seeing a distance decrease, but in saying that, most of us are modders correct? and without a doubt we will be modding the "Elite" series aswell, so I'm not too fased.

  4. Is nerf saying most modders live in those areas? Are they saying people there will overpower them? That could be true. I wonder what they have to say about it
