Details
The HyperFire is a fully automatic flywheel clip system blaster. It features an integrated shoulder stock and a grip located in front of the magazine well. It has a single tactical rail above the front end of the blaster and has four strap points: two on the front end, and two on the back, built into the stock.
Unlike most flywheel blasters, it uses a conveyor system to feed darts into the flywheels, rather than a pusher mechanism. This conveyer system has a faster rate of fire than a pusher mechanism, despite this, it is known to jam on old, worn darts due to the fact that it doesn’t have enough grip to slide it into the flywheels smoothly. It also has canted flywheels which induce a rifling effect on fired darts, increasing accuracy.
Official description
Take aim with the HyperFire blaster and challenge opponents with ultimate speed!

With its 25-dart drum, this Nerf N-Strike Elite blaster brings impressive firepower to the battle. It fires darts up 90 feet (27 meters).

Value packs
The Hyperfire was released in a value pack that included the blaster, two twenty-five dart drums, fifty Elite Darts, and instructions.
Reloading and firing
To reload the HyperFire, remove any loaded clips while holding the clip release. Load up a clip and load it back into the blaster.
Hold down the accelerator trigger and pull the firing trigger briefly to fire one dart, or hold the trigger for automatic firing. It may take a moment for the flywheels to come to full speed; firing before that can reduce the dart range.
Trivia
- It is thought to be a successor to the N-Strike Elite RapidStrike CS-18, given the similarities in fully-automatic firing and clip loading. However, the HyperFire has a very different design and a larger magazine.
- The HyperFire has the highest advertised rate of fire of any current N-Strike or N-Strike Elite blaster, with 5 darts per second, although tests have proved it to be possibly higher. Rival blasters such as the Nemesis MXVII-10K come out on top due to torsion springs and more aerodynamic ammo.
