| Category | Score | Notes |
| Firing range | 10/10 | The Pyragon has an excellent range of sixty to seventy feet, which is higher than what most Vortex blasters are capable of. Better yet, the Pyragon does not lose range when slam firing.[2] |
| Accuracy | 8/10 | Like all other Vortex blasters, the discs that the Pyragon fires curve off to the right when first fired, then curve back to the left. However, it is easy to adjust for as the Pyragon does this consistently. |
| Reliability | 9/10 | The Pyragon very rarely jams. Although if the trigger is pulled slowly, it will lose accuracy. When rotating between the inner chambers of the forty disc drum, a disc may pop out occasionally. |
| Rate of fire | 10/10 | The Pyragon has an astounding rate of fire. It unleashes four to five discs a second, which is fast even compared to other slam firing blasters. It was also proven to shoot all forty discs in 8.1 seconds.[3] |
| Capacity | 10/10 | The Pyragon features a forty disc drum, which is the largest stock ammo capacity ever released. |
| Final score | ||
| 9.4/10 | The Pyragon is a great blaster, with its high rate of fire, power and large capacity being definite advantages. It is easily regarded as the best Vortex blaster, beating out the Praxis as the new fan favorite. | |
TriviaEdit
- The name "Pyragon" may have come from the word "paragon" meaning "a person or thing regarded as a model of excellence", which fits this blaster's performance, and the word "pyro", meaning fire. This matches the Pyragon's orange and white color scheme.
- It has the highest capacity ammo storage for any Vortex blaster and the first drum to use XLR discs.
- When first announced, it was assumed it was a reshelled Praxis. This was proved wrong when more information was released.
- The Retaliator shoulder stock is not compatible with this blaster.[4]
- It is possible to load a total of forty-two discs without modification or damage by loading and chambering one disc, ejecting the drum, then loading the drum again with forty-one discs.
