The Arrow Strike is a 2001 Nerf Other Nerf blaster that holds 3 Missiles. The closest to a series that it is a part of is the Power Nerf series. It is made by Larami, rather than Kenner or Hasbro.
Overview[]
The Arrow Strike is a small blaster that holds 3 Missiles on a turret. Storage for two extra missiles is located near the scope. The turret auto-advances when the handle is pulled back.
The ammunition included is modified, and goes under a different name than the Missile, but it is in-fact still missiles, and other missiles reportedly work with the blaster.
Uniquely among Missile blasters, it is the only blaster to fire using a spring, rather than a HAMP like every other blaster compatible with Missiles. However, this blaster also has a disproportionately heavy spring compared to most its size, as it is very small physically. This makes it difficult for small children to draw back, and uncomfortable for stronger people to use.
History[]
The Arrow Strike was released in an odd time where few blasters were released. It is the last Missile Blaster to have ever been released, and the only one to be released after 1994. It was supposed to have a counterpart in the Counter Strike, but this blaster was ultimately cancelled.
Trivia[]
- The Arrow Strike is the only spring-powered Missile blaster.
- Despite the blaster holding three missiles, there is only storage for two on the blaster.
- Because of its uncomfortable nature and poor performance relative to other blasters of the time, it has since become one of the rarest blasters of the early 2000s.
