Nerf AlphaHawk Accustrike Elite Blaster, Revolving 5-Dart Drum, 10 Official AccuStrike Elite Darts Designed For Greater Accuracy, For Kids Ages 8 And Up

Product Information

Pull the trigger and an AccuStrike dart flies out straight and true. What sets the AccuStrike ammo apart from standard NERF darts is that they do that consistently. You can actually group shots just inches apart from 20ft away, and with much less chance of a random ‘flyer’. They’re a big improvement on the standard darts – although still not quite as accurate as the golf-ball-shaped NERF Rival rounds, and with a less flat trajectory.

Launched in 2003, the products in the Nerf N-Strike series are among the most notable Nerf Blasters. These Blasters fire foam darts with rubber tips up to a range of 35 feet. This series is designed to resemble real-life munitions and offers customizable attachments, including scopes, shields, and barrel extensions. This series was replaced by the Nerf N-Strike Elite line in 2012, which upgraded to a direct plunger firing mechanism that launches darts up to 75 feet. Nerf launched the Rebelle series in 2013, which includes colors and designs marketed towards girls. In 2019, Nerf introduced the Alpha Strike series, which is a budget friendly Blaster. That same year, the Nerf Ultra was released and is claimed to fire ammo up to a range of 120 feet. The ‘barrel’ is quite unusual, in that it doesn’t make any pretence at being an actual barrel – it’s very wide open at the sides, more like some kind of shroud. This doesn’t make any difference to performance, though, since a proper barrel on a NERF blaster would just add friction, reducing range and power. Nerf engineers spent two years designing the AccuStrike Series line, focusing on the new dart design and balancing blaster performance to allow for increased accuracy and stability. [1] Right, so let’s move on to what’s special about those AccuStrike darts. They have the same tubular foam body, but the rubber tip has been redesigned to have vanes like a turbine. These presumably make the dart spin a little as it flies, helping it achieve greater accuracy.At the very end of this non-barrel is an open sight. There isn’t a corresponding rear sight, but you can use the top accessory rail to align left/right, and elevation is so dependent on the distance to target with NERF darts that sights aren’t that useful anyway. The AccuStrike Series was originally leaked online, with images of the AlphaHawk and series-specific darts showing up on September 15 and September 20, respectively. Kids can strike with confidence as they blast darts designed for greater accuracy. This Nerf Accustrike Alphahawk set will teach kids about patience, targeting, and sharing! I have a real soft spot for the AlphaHawk’s design. It’s like a sniper/target rifle from the future, but with more manageable proportions than a model such as the NERF Mega Centurion. The AccuStrike Series AlphaHawk blaster has a 5-dart, revolving drum so battlers can unleash 5 darts in a row without reloading. The blaster comes with 10 darts from the AccuStrike Series. Strike with confidence in Nerf battles and blast darts designed for greater accuracy.

Get ready to battle with the Nerf AccuStrike Series AlphaHawk blaster! Load 5 darts into the drum and slide the bolt to prime the blaster for firing. Sight under controlled conditions at a target 30 feet (9 meters) away and pull the trigger to fire 1 of the most accurate Nerf darts. Prime and fire again to launch another dart. A nice touch is that Hasbro supplies 10 darts with the AlphaHawk, not five. Normally all you get is enough to load the blaster once.Talking of accessory rails, there’s that one on the top rear, and a shorter one on the bottom at the very front. Perfectly set up for a scope up top and a bi-pod down below, eh?

I was a little worried about the durability of those tip mouldings, but to be fair I’ve pinged them all around the house and out in the garden, hundreds of times, and the tips still look as good as new.
