Alright. So I found out that my dad knows one of the designers for nerf. Well, actually he taught him. Right now I'm trying to squeeze as much info as I can out of him and here are a few pictures that he provided for me.

Some raider stuff. Not totally new but I don't think anyone posted the back of the box yet.




Some of the ctf. Pretty sure these are better, newer pictures but I could be wrong.



Other stuff.




Ok.

[Gears]

Is that a yellow Longshot I see on the back off the box?

[AJZ]

How come the the eliminator set shows a green one, but theres an orange one on display?

I'm paricularly interested in the "Capture the Flag" guns. Many I assume are as well. Looks like we're getting a couple air guns this year so that'll be a nice change.

Other than the close-ups of the new Dart Tag guns, this is mostly redundant. The boxes is interesting so thank you for that, but you could have posted this in the Speculation thread instead.

Squeeze your Dad harder (don't sig me bro!)

[Kid Flash]

Yes that is a yellow longshot. And I will be squeezing much harder. Ha that would go good if someone was to sig you.

I guess the main purpose of this thread was to ask you guys what I should be pushing my dad to ask around about.

Ok. Got more. Can anyone say turreted shotgun pistol thinga ma bob?

[slowguitarman]

All of those new dart tag guns are bloody gorgeous.

[nerfnerd88]

Those dart tag pump action 10 shot revolvers sound VERY promising.

[CAPS]

Im a little confused about how that Raider works. It says its rapid fire but it looks like its a pump action gun. Could anyone shead some light about how the system would most likely be?

That pump action looks gorgeous, hopefully its not just a modified Maverick. Like its not gonna have the same plunger.

I can try to look into that.

EDIT: NerfOnFier: I will. I'm going to see if I can get a prototype... Or at least the plans to the gun.

Sick, keep updating us. I'm liking every bit of these new DTB.

[q4nailgun]

I like what I'm seein'! Watch me blow about $200 on nerf guns!

[Glint]

We've already practically confirmed those 10-shot air pump turreted Dart Tag Guns are the Furyfire.
Oh, see? It says it on the box!

Holy crap a yellow Longshot... but WTF the Longshot's already part of the N-Strike series as a blue one! What's with this!?

HOLY Effeminate AWESOME-NESS! I think hasbro has answered our prayers for new air powered guns. Thank you so much Kid Flash for supplying the NIC with these pictures. The yellow longshot looks Effeminate and the raider looks awesome, can't wait till fall.

[bogboogalars]

Glint, look at every other recent n-strike gun. They're all yellow changed over from blue, the ls just hasn't followed suit yet...

[Echnalaid]

Do I see a high cap mag on the recon?

[Glint]

The yellow LS better have a better spring or a better seal or something to make it better or else it's absolutely pointless. At least Hasbro is starting to catch on that people actually want more powerful guns if they're just going to do repeats. It all started with the new Magstrike!

I'm pretty sure that's a side view of the Drum mag...

[Your nerf killa]

Is it just me or is that FuryFire gun resembling the Super Max 1000?

[Magic]

Your Nerf Killa - That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm just getting one, so i've been looking closely at them. Pump on the barrel, and everything.

EDIT: The dart tag guns aren't air guns.. Atleast I don't think. It says pump action on the box, and the PAS isn't air. Can these be new spring guns?

[The Nerf Devil]

Is it just me or is there a high capacity magazine on the yellow longshot?

No they aren't springers because if you look at the picture of the orange dart tag gun with the pump/priming handle halfway down there is nothing protruding from the back of the gun so it's an air gun or a springer with a ridiculously small plunger, most likely an air gun.

Thats what I was thinking. Kid Flash: is there anyway to get confirmation on this?

yeah I saw the resemble of the revolver to the SM1k

And on the box,(I zoomed in) the clip on the yellow LS is the drum clip.

Pump action is rather vague and could just as easily refer to a pumping mechanic. In any case you'll notice the orange one is sitting with the pump (or priming rod) halfway down the faux barrel. This indicates either a pump or negligence in leaving the gun primed.

Not to get hopes up but I think looks pretty promising.

[oodalumps]

EDIT: didn't realize nerf makes laser tag. or "lazer tag" as it says on the box. Oh well.

Edited by oodalumps, 21 February 2009 - 08:51 PM.

[redd]

is it just me or does the capture the flag dart blaster have 2 barrels? Oh and oodalumps that is a lazortag gun.

Edited by redd, 21 February 2009 - 08:43 PM.

[twenty4]

I think that's the laser tag gun. It was released a while ago.
