Details
The SurgeFire is a pump-action blaster that features a fifteen dartcapacity rotating drum. It bears a resemblance to the 2015 N-Strike Mega RotoFury, with its main differences being that it fires Elite Darts and has a larger capacity. It also bears slight resemblance to the 2009 Dart Tag Furyfire.
Like the RotoFury, the SurgeFire features the ability to slam fire.[2]

Reloading and firing

Pull the trigger fire a dart.
To slam fire, hold down the trigger and continuously prime the blaster.
Trivia
- When slam firing, priming the priming handle too fast will skip a dart, and require another shot to shoot the dart.
- Removing the SurgeFire’s drum is difficult, but not impossible. There is a hole at the front of the drum housing that can be used to remove the drum by sticking a rod into it and pushing the drum out. However, there is little point to doing this, as attempting to insert a fully loaded drum into the SurgeFire results in the dart tips not fitting through the drum well. It could possibly be used as a way to insert higher capacity drums made via 3D printing or aftermarket. However, doing this would require said hi-capacity aftermarket drum to be equal or less than the dimensions of the original, or else it will not fit in the shell of the blaster.[4]
- Pulling back the priming handle slightly will allow the Surgefire’s drum to be more easily spun.
