Hailfire



The Hailfire is a semi-automatic flywheel blaster. It’s known to have the high capacity for darts. It achieves by utilizes a lazy susan that holds up to eight magazines, so if you had eight 18-dart magazines, you’d have 144 darts ready at your disposal. The blaster itself is pretty big, so you can only imagine how big it is when there are eight 18-dart magazines.

Out of the box you get the blaster, a protective shell for the lazy susan, four 6-dart clips, and 24 N-Strike Elite darts. Because it is a flywheel blaster, you will need 4 AA batteries that are not included.

To use the blaster, insert the clips into the lazy susan. If a clip isn’t lined up with the flywheels, push the front handle back and forth until you see the clip line up with the flywheels. Pull the flywheel trigger and wait until you can hear the flywheels reach its max speed. Pull the trigger. Repeat pulling the trigger. Remember, the faster you pull the trigger the lower your ranges will be, since you aren’t giving the flywheel enough time to get back up to speed. When you empty the clip, pull and push the front handle to advance the next clip.



This blaster is compatible with all Nerf N-Strike Elite magazines.

Usability
Casual Nerfing: It’s essentially overkill if you use this blaster. Yes you can have 144 darts, but the blaster is big and it’s difficult to shoulder. This results in using it as a large machine gun blaster, so you can use it Arnold Swhartzenager style or place it on something and use it as your couch fort’s big defense gun.

Rating: 7/10



War Games: Again, because it’s so huge and it has a high dart capacity, spammers will most likely use this weapon. A downside of this blaster is that it uses flywheels. In order to fire the flywheels, you have to pull a second smaller trigger that revs up them up. Good luck trying flank. Because it’s a flywheel blasters, you first have to rev-up the flywheels. The noise isn’t too bad, but it’s still enough to reveal your position. Stick with suppressing the opponents while your friends with plunger system blasters flank your opponents.

Rating: 8/10



Humans vs Zombies: This blaster is great for Missions, and that’s it. Because it’s so huge, you can’t place it in your backpack once you get inside a building. It great for facing a horde of zombies during a mission since it’s semi-automatic and can hold 144 darts'''. '''If you are like the concept of a semi-automatic flywheel blaster but want it to be smaller, I’d suggest the Stryfe.



Rating: 8/10

The Hailfire was marketed as Nerf highest capacity blaster, and that’s about it. You can fire it relatively fast and make it rain darts, but that’s about it.

FINAL RATING: 7.6/10
