Who thinks we're getting a nerf minigun ?

[hornet]

If they don't sell extra chain, i'll be pretty ticked. This thing sounds perfect for indoors. Finnally, a new gun that DOESN'T use streamlines. My asaultees won't let me use stefans.

I would be ticked to

We'll find out soon enough, but I'm highly doubting that they're going to bother with multiple barrels. That would be a great deal of plastic to waste and more moving parts to add. A chain-gun configuration (single barrel) is more likely.
Hasbro has screwed up the usage of many real firearm terms used for the wrong kind of parts before (Clips =/= Magazines being one example) so don't assume they're using accurate terminology.

I think it will be a single barrel gun too but a gatling gun would be pimpin.

Ah good, atleast it's not the traditional chain design. Beyond that I'm anticipating seeing what the internals are like.

All I can say is wow. The Vulcan looks extremly bulky. But if it is effective then it might be worth buying one. I also noticed they mentioned some other nerf blasters.

[angelof DEATH182]

SPECULATION:the front doesn't have room for flywheels, Maybe if its an airsoft style plunger it could be replaced with an Nf or TTG tube to get a decent range, high ammo and ROF (atleast till you run out of ammo) manual gun? Or maybe the chain and its mechanism could be placed on a different gun?

[smeagolsaur]

Good work on finding the picture.

Looks awesome!

[Eboreg]

That thing looks hard to reload, which is never good in Nerf warfare. Of course, the ammo box could be replaceable a-la-Longshot

[NiteWalker]

There aren't any obvious areas for wheels, from what I can see, and that is a good sign. Hopefully the box will prevent jams and the barrel seems long, which might be a sign that the darts can at least go through that at a decent speed.

[angelof DEATH182]

No no, Its chain fed, See how on top parts of it are orange? Looks like to reload you open those parts and place the chain on some kind of mechanism and close it, Like real heavy MG's. Maybe.

[sputnik]

But I only see 3N-Strike rails!
Shouldn't this have like, 12!?

It has at least 3 rails on the front, look harder !

Yes, but some Light Machine Guns use a box like the one seen to hold the chain.

[angelof DEATH182]

Quick! Make an algorithim to find out how big it is based on the rail!

[Kabuki]

I'm very excited. I think I found my Christmas present for this year.

[marriedmynitefinder]

The box that holds the chain means, without rather heavy modding and cutting and a possible waste of forty bucks, means that it probably only holds one chain. Which sucks

Quick! Make an algorithim to find out how big it is based on the rail!

Looks to be about 3-5 nitefinders long, if the rails are the same. That's like, what, a longshot and a half or a little less?

And Christmas is a long way away there buddy, but, i guess patience is the key.

Unless the chain breaks into smaller, shorter chains.

[CaptainSlug]

Quick! Make an algorithim to find out how big it is based on the rail!

It's anywhere from 24? to 28? inches based on the dimensions I've measured of the distance from the rail stop to the little spring-loaded rail catch. This measurement comes from the same integration rail that's on the underside of the faux barrel attachment for the Recon.


I can't find anything else to measure from on the image and it's pretty hard to gauge taking into account perspective if there's any kind of focal distortion, although it's not terribly distorted so the margin of error isn't too bad.

Which still would mean that it would only hold 25 darts, right?
