It has a well-made feel to it (as most of Nerf's dart guns do), it feels comfortable, and there are no parts that creak as if they're going to fall off. It's also nowhere near as finicky about being used as the Stryfe, which I think set the high bar for being annoying about having a zillion-and-one ways and so-called reasons for stopping you from firing it.
It is possible to do single-shot firing, as well as just holding the trigger to spray darts. The only caveat is that you have to disciplined enough to remember to continuously hold the lower trigger to keep the flywheel motors running -- if you don't, then single-shot firing can easily result in jamming on a dart.
It is a shame that they're selling this with just an 18-dart clip -- at least the Stampede was shipped in an elaborate kit that included multiple clips and a bandolier belt to carry them. This gun deserves to be provided with a similar set of equipment. But, to be honest, this gun doesn't really come into its own unless you use the 35-dart drum magazine with it. I've tried this combination, and it really makes this the complete keep-your-enemy's-head-down kind of gun.
There are only three complaints that I would put against it...
1) The motors driving the flywheels really are noisier than they need to be -- the motors in the Stryfe are definitely quieter.
2) The ability to attach barrel extensions to the front of this gun is not well implemented -- almost all of the barrel extensions wobble in place a bit when attached to the front. On the other hand, this gun is already sufficiently long that it's hard to see why you would want to make it much longer -- maybe Nerf has some other forthcoming barrel extension in mind?
3) The battery compartment really should have been put towards the rear of this gun -- with the battery compartment being built in up front, this gun is a bit nose-heavy, which makes one-handed operation a little unrealistic -- if the battery compartment had been put towards the back, the weight of the four C-cells could have been supported by a fore-arm.
Only the first complaint is what I would call a significant one -- the noisy flywheel motors take away any possibility of sneaking up on somebody with this with the motors running. It's the one advantage that the Stampede and Vulcan have over this gun -- neither of those guns needed to make a sound at all until you were ready to pull the trigger. If you carry this dart gun with you, you'll need to have a simpler manually-operated spring-type dart gun for that initial sneak-attack shot -- and then you can use this dart gun to spray darts when everyone already knows you're there.
I recommend this.
An update -- 11/6/13...
I still recommend this dart gun. However, I also recommend setting aside its 18-dart clear plastic clip and picking up one of the 35-dart drum magazines to use with it, instead. Having had this dart gun for a while, I'm noticing that the spring in the 18-dart clear plastic clip seems to have become somewhat weaker, and the something about the plastic that the clip is made from somehow causes or enables a great deal of friction between the tips of the dart and the interior of the clip. As a result, the darts don't immediately move up the clip as they are fired, which appears to be leading to frequent jamming.
The 35-drum magazines seem to be made of a plastic that doesn't suffer from this weird friction issue -- I don't know if it's actually a difference in the plastic material or maybe a slight difference in smoothness of the interior that causes differences in friction -- but the darts do seem to stick more to the interior of the new clear 18-dart clip. Also, frankly, the 35-dart drum was always the better choice for a dart gun like this, anyway. It can go through darts so quickly with its rapid rate of fire that an 18-dart clip is used up too quickly.
Only real negatives I gotta say is loading all 18 rounds in the dart-magazine will most likely lead to nerf dart Jams. so From testing and playing with it I learn loading the mag to a max of 15 darts makes it run flawlessly with no dart jamming (and that is still a pretty good amount of darts in one mag) and Lastly it is pretty darn loud of a motor I gotta say but that is a forgiven with these automatic nerf guns. So if you are wanting stealth not a good choice
But Even with those small down sides
I would recommend anyone this nerf gun if they are looking for a great motorized fullauto nerf gun that really just works well and is fun!

1) This is the Elite version of the Nerf Stampede; so it is fully AUTOMATIC. Compared to the Nerf Stampede, it is MUCH, MUCH lighter as it only requires 4 C batteries rather than 6 D batteries. Weight distribution is slightly towards the front as that's where the battery tray is located.
2) This blaster uses a flywheel mechanism rather than a plunger system, so your darts will not get too damaged after repeated usage. It definitely is the Elite version of the Stampede. No frayed darts after much usage.
3) Like all flywheel blasters, you can mod it by increasing the voltage. This will increase the rate of fire (ROF) and increase range a bit. Beware that there are thermo-resistors, so the blaster will shut down if the flywheels are revving for long periods; ESPECIALLY if you increase the voltage to anything higher than 8 volts.
4) The 18 dart clear clip; while it's nice to see how many darts you have left, it's also very visible to you opponents. This wasn't an issue with the older, solid orange clips of the same size. If you want to know how much darts you have left, it's better to spray paint or cover the sides and front of the clip, that way only the rear portion is visible to you. Also, the clear clip is a bit loose when inserted into the blaster compared to the older clips. I don't know if mine is a defective one or not, but when I wiggle the blaster side-to-side, the clip wiggles around loosely. The older clips and drum magazines don't shake compared to the clear one.
5) Love the aesthetics of the blaster itself and it's tactical rails. Makes it seem more "realistic" and you can attach any accessories that uses the N-strike rail attachment system. The adjustable stock was surprisingly comfortable and sturdy. I just wish there were more than 2 settings - fully collapsed or fully extended.
Only con about it is that the handle is a bit small. I'm not that big of a guy, 5' 6'' only, so my hands aren't huge like some people; but the back part of the handle digs into my hand a bit, especially the sling mount on the handle.
Overall, the best flywheel blaster Hasbro has put out so far.
