Nerf elite

Hey peoples. Today I'm gonna talk about the new Nerf guns coming out. Here it goes.

Okay so Nerf is making a new series of Nerf guns. It is separate from the N Strike, Vortex, and Dart Tag series.








It's called N Strike Elite.


It's some N Strike guns that have been upgraded, reshelled and repainted. It's also grey, black, and blue instead of the traditional N Strike orange yellow and black. There's the Retaliator a Recon upgrade, the Rampage a Raider upgrade, the Stockade a Barricade upgrade, and a Firestrike a Nitefinder upgrade. There is also supposed to be a Jolt Elite but I haven't seen a reliable picture and I don't think there gonna make one because the Jolt is just single shot pistol that fits in your pocket.


Everybody's excited about the Firestrike because the Nightfinder was so cool. Lastly is the new Vortex Pyragon and the Hail Fire.

The Retaliator is the same as the Recon except its got a new stock, a repaint, and better internals that make it shoot up to seventy five feet. The Retaliator is basically a pistol with a stock and barrel extension. Unfortunately the barrel extension doesn't help ranges from reviews I've read and the clip holds 12 Elite darts. For me a 6 out of 10.

Recon

The rampage is a raider with once again a repaint, better internals for Max ranges, and a 24 dart drum instead of a 35 dart drum. I'm not sure how that last parts a upgrade but I hope it jams less frequently then the raider. My raider I got for Christmas fired 1 dart and broke. :( the Rampage you hold with too hands one on the handle and one on the loading handle the darts are held in the drum on the side. For me a 7 out of 10.

Raider



From left too right
Alpha trooper 18 darts
Rampage 24 darts
Raider 35 darts

The Stockade has a repaint, better internals, and a stock that holds 10 darts so the blaster has 20 in total. The Stockade is a automatic pistol with a stock. For me a 8 out of 10.

I would review the Firestrike but I don't have enough information on it.



Only pic of the Firestrike it's supposed to come out in 2013.



Nitefinder simple and powerful.

The Hailfire is the biggest blaster of the year. It's a blaster with rotating ammo rack that can hold 8 clips of ammo. If you have 8 18 dart clips that's 144 dart capacity, the largest ever! Its automatic too.

Lastly there's the Vortex Pyragon that is like a Raider with a 40 disc drum it can slam fire too. Its also red and white instead of the traditional green and black Vortex blasters. Slam fire is when you hold the trigger down and pull the loading handle back and forth repeatedly.


Now for the Elite darts. They carry the same blue color scheme as the Elite series and are supposed to go farther. They differ from regular Whistler darts because their a bit longer, made of better foam, and have a better tip.



So that's it on the latest Nerf weaponry. The Retaliator and Rampage are the only ones in stores now but the Stockade is available for preorder in the UK. I don't have any of these guns though so for a review I would look somewhere else.
Bye!
