Is this thread dead yet?

No he had something helpful to say.

It looks like brassing this thing will be quite expensive. It will be interesting to see if beefing up the voltage will help; maybe a better motor if applicable.

Fuck, I'm away from the boards for 1 day and I get to miss out on resetting 3 dickhead members' post counts. DAMN IT!

Sorry, sport. I couldn't help myself.

Next one's yours.

On the box. To the right and down from the guys nose, there is an orange thing. What is it? It looks like a shell from the gun or a bolt from the LS.

Wow, I didn't notice that. Maybe a on/off switch, or a jam door...?

*speculation begins*

[General Cole]

Looks like a charging handle to load the belt.

This toy looks badass. Man. If they had been releasing Nerf guns this awesome ten, twelve years ago, I would have been a really happy 11 year old.

I remember playing with the Cyber Strike Gear, Max Force and all those. The best we had was the Airjet Power line (for the few uses they had before blowing the air bladders) with the Wildfire and Powerclip. Also the Hypersights with the BBB and the LNL. Now we have the equivalents of the old guns as well as all these other awesome toys when, back then, the shelves were populated sparsely with the good toys but had plenty of Electric Eels, Razor Fins, Stinging Scorpions, and the rest.

Nerf wars would have been so ridiculously fun with an arsenal of Magstrikes, Recons, Mavericks, NFs, N-Strikes, Longshots, and now the Vulcan. I envy you 9-14 year olds who have a regular Nerfing crew. You guys have it made.

Yes we do.

uni13(known as ice on NH) has a video on youtube showing what it looks like. Copy and paste this:

it is battery operated from what it looks like and it looks awesome except for the yellow.

This might be a false alarm, but my little sister apparently saw a commercial for it. She didn't actually see the gun that well, and isn't the most reliable source, but she said it had a tripod stand , was yellow and orange, was rapid fire, and said coming soon.

I've never seen Hasbro run commercials for guns that aren't out yet (I still have not seen a recon one), but I also have not seen them get an american gladiator guy to fire it at a press conference. This could mean a release a lot sooner than we think.

[smeagolsaur]

I think it'll be released earlier than Fall.

Just look at the recon -- advertised release date was Spring 08 and we got it in November.

Based on that, I imagine that this gun will be on the shelves by April/May.

[Omega]

April/May? I don't think so. I got July/August at the earliest, even if they do push it up, which I doubt.

And yes. Yes we do.

I don't have a regular Nerfing crew, but it's easy enough to throw one together.

Well if there was a commercial out for it the commercial will also be on the Nerf site. Which its not. So she may have gotten her information from another source and is pulling your leg.

[tautvis24]

Found another picture here; no man-cleavage this time!

That definitely looks like an LS bolt handle on there.

PS: So, I guess no one actually went to the show-off thingamajig?

Did you seriously just link us to a youtube video with ice repeating random shit he probably read in this thread, and showing an image that is embedded in no less than 6 posts in this thread already? Exactly what did Ice's effeminate voice add to this discussion that you felt this topic was to sorely lacking?

[General Cole]

Yeah, that vid didn't do anything for me either. From the looks of placement, it would appear that the LS bolt brings back the slide that hold the belt in. So,
1. Bring bolt back
2. Load Chain
3. Push bolt closed
4. Fire Weapon

But that would mean there was some crazy shit going on with the chain. It may be for show, or to fire the gun without batteries. Which would be even cooler, yet impractical. Maybe the bolt engages the chain feed, or is a safety? I like my post count. I'm going to stop now.

[Direct Threat]

Direct Threat, If you are out there. Paint this gun.

I'm drooling over color decisions. I started building a polycarbonate segmented shoulder strap for it. I wish it was LARGER so that I could rationalize making a completely unnecessary swing arm to attach to a belt or backpack. You know, something completely retarded =)

[CaptainSlug]

Maybe we can eventually collaborate on "something completely retarded: The Project"

[Direct Threat]

God I hope so. Though I do have something along those lines in the works.

NERF N-STRIKE VULCAN EBF-25

The top-of-the-line blaster for mission supremacy, the NERF N-STRIKE VULCAN EBF-25 blaster is a 25-dart belt-fed fully automatic blaster that will intimidate any opponent. This impressive blaster comes complete with a fold-up tripod to steady your aim, 25 sonic micro darts that whistle through the air when launched and a 25-dart belt. The NERF N-STRIKE VULCAN EBF-25 blaster features the Tactical Rail System allowing players to customize their blaster for each mission - for example, players can use the green 'night vision' Tactical Light accessory (sold separately) for nighttime missions. Six "D" batteries are required but not included. (Ages 6 years & up/Approximate Retail Price: $39.99/Available: Fall 2008)

Looks as if it is a solid link of 25 barrels on a belt. I don't know if you can attach the belts together at all.

Also found another photo. Can you guys see the Longshot bolt handle on the side?

[themilkman]

HOLY CRAP!!! Just look at that gun O_O!!! I am REALLY wishing that that gun is good bc I am going to buy it no matter what. That gun will be an indoor nerf war BEAST!!!

EDIT: Oh hey, I DO see a longshot bolt slide!!!

[sourskttles772]

I really hope that longshot bolt is so you dont have to use batteries. And it would be like 25 shots in single shot.

[firstblood]

If this thing shoots screamers, couldn't it shoot taggers and Suction cup darts. Or Possibly stefans just looking at the belt?
