Nerf Reveals New Pro Blasters!

Well, the embargo on information is lifted, so now I can talk about everything that I saw during a recent visit to Hasbro headquarters. Originally, I could only comment on the N Series (and you’ve seen a couple reviews posted so far for the Infinite and the Agility). Now, thanks to some leaks on the internet, Hasbro has been forced to show their hand to try and keep the excitement going. To that end, let’s post the info!

The Press Release

As always, there’s the company info.

The premium, sport grade NERF blaster includes 15 NERF PRO half-length darts and a 15-dart magazine. NERF PRO half-length darts are designed for extreme accuracy, distance, and velocity, and the shorter length provides a more stable trajectory and greater precision.

The priming mechanism allows you to grip it on either the top or bottom for comfortable operation. Includes removable stock and trigger lock.

Extra Thoughts

I like that Hasbro is still using current magazine standards (Angled Talons), even if it’s a shift away from the straight mags of the Stryfe X. The blasters feel great in hand, they’re competitively priced, and they’re coming later this year.

I’ll just end with some unedited footage from that portion of the Hasbro visit.
