No, not the cool Racoon guy from Guardians of the Galaxy. I'm talking about big foam hard-hitting ROCKETS! The N-Strike ELITE Demolisher "2-in-1" is coming out in Fall of 2014 and with it comes the glorious return of the Nerf Rocket. They've been absent from the lineup for a little while, and the last Rocket-launching blaster we got from Nerf was the Titan.
While we have known about this blaster for several months now, we've finally got a decent look at the size of this rocket in comparison to a MEGA Dart and Elite Dart. It's not as hefty as Titan AS-V1 Rocket, but maybe that's a good thing? It still has a large collapsible foam head, but it tapers off near the back. It sort of resembles a Big Blast rocket the more I look at it.
Having a smaller rocket should make it easier to hurl further, but then again, there doesn't appear to be a ton of power behind the Demolisher Rocket. To fire it, you'd slide the lever forward to fill the air tank and then (a la triggerless Super Soakers) pull back to launch it... so that tank isn't super huge either. I'd be interested to see how the Demolisher's setup stacks up to the Titan. Or, better yet, I'd be interested to see someone improve the launcher or
make custom rockets like there were for the Titan.
I wonder if making a bigger pump for it would yield more power.
ReplyDeleteI really doubt it, judging by the size of that grenade launcher shell there really isnt ample room to install an actual air tank and trigger either. I doubt theres going to be any real use for this thing other than rebarreling it, then again why would you?
DeleteI'll bet a panther take would fit nicely, or perhaps the airtank in a talos.
DeleteI honestly wanted to keep the thing shooting rockets just for kicks, I have an old triple strike with some busted connections so maybe i can salvage one of the tanks. It should have enough power to propel the rocket a good distance since it was designed to shoot arrows after all.
DeleteI wonder if a single dart will fit in the air-tube hole. OR if a mega dart will fit over the air-tube. A nice mod might be a multi-tube adapter allowing it to fire several darts like a shotgun (like a cannister round for a regular grenade launcher).
ReplyDeleteMeh, still wishing for some Original N Strike ranged guns
ReplyDeleteare you trolling?
DeleteI see many demolisher shotgun mods in the future...
ReplyDeleteIs the rocket launcher removable or built on?
ReplyDeleteBuilt on. if it was on a tac-rail, it just wouldnt hold on.
DeleteNot related but Toys r Us has a sale for the LTAR 11.99 and free shipping on orders over $50.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for this to come out, I want to convert it for use with lasertag and embed small IR grenades into the rockets.
