Nerf Elite HYPERFIRE- PREVIEW

The soon to be released N-Strike Elite HYPERFIRE 

Only a few hours ago news got out about some new NERF blasters scheduled for release in the fall. Among them are a new full auto Rival called the KHAOS, a Mega called the MASTODON, the TRI-STRIKE which is a new Modulus blaster, and the N-Strike Elite HYPERFIRE (not to be confused with the dart tag blaster) They all look pretty cool but the HYPERFIRE is the one I've been waiting for.
No, I had no inside information from my imaginary friends at Hasbro but I just knew they'd come up with a blaster like this soon enough. Why? The RAPIDSTRIKE. Whether you're a fan of full auto, full size blasters or not, it was a big hit and it only made sense that Nerf would try to do something a little bigger, badder, and better.
Information is sparse at this time but we're told the HYPERFIRE should be priced at about $50, runs on 4 D batteries, comes standard with a 25 dart drum magazine, and can unload 5 darts a second in it's fully automatic mode. This suggests that it has select fire? I've also seen this new blaster referred to as the HYPER-HEARTH, which leads me to believe there will be a different version outside the US, much like we had with the VULCAN/HAVOC FIRE situation back in 2008.

50 dart drum that we didn't get.

I've seen what a modified RAPIDSTRIKE can do and I can only imagine what an over-volted HYPERFIRE might be capable of. We could really use a working 50 dart double drum mag for this one. The HYPERFIRE just made the top of my wish list! I'll post more about it as more info becomes available and I'll certainly be showing mine off the second I'm able to get my hands on one! Until then...
