Additional Pages:

The Pyragon is a 2012 Vortex blaster that can hold up to 40 XLR discs. It is somewhat similar to the Praxis. It has a 40-Disc Drum and an orange and white color scheme.

It is capable of slam firing, meaning that discs could be shot off at a higher rate. The high ammo capacity of its drum compliments this feature, similar to blasters such as the Raider CS-35. The priming handle also looks similar to that of the Raider's. It was first released on June 12th, 2012.

There is an extremely rare re-release that has more white on it and a green techno pattern on the side.

It will be re-released in Fall 2018 as part of the Vortex VTX line-up.

Variants:

Original
White re-release

Trivia[]

A Hasbro employee had somehow obtained a Pyragon long before its release date. The employee's son's channel, cckuczerkids, decided to make a review of the blaster itself. Unfortunately, the video was taken down from YouTube. The channel BasicNerf had since re-uploaded it onto YouTube. Until June 15th, 2012, it was the only video of the Pyragon that had been released to the public.
During the night of June 14th–15th, 2012, Hasbro released a video of the Pyragon on their website. The video is still available, at least to some people.
The Retaliator shoulder stock will not work with it.
The word "Pyragon" seems to be a combination between the words paragon (a person of exceptional merit) and pyro (pertaining to fire), which matches the Pyragon's flaming color scheme.
The Pyragon is considered to be the most powerful blaster in the Vortex line. This is because it has an extremely powerful torsion spring.

-== Review ==
-The Pyragon is the Vortex line's most expensive blaster, but definetly worth the hefty price of $40.
-Range 10/10 Somehow, this blaster outpreforms all other Vortex blasters in terms of range with 50 to 60+ ft. Range does not decrease when slam firing.
-Accuracy 9/10 Disks tend to curve to the right slightly due to the location of the firing mechinism but all in all very accurate. Slam firing reduces accuracy a bit unless you have a stock.
-Rate of fire 10/10 The blaster shoots faster than any other Vortex blaster because of its slam fire ability.
-Reliability 9/10 The blaster can jam but hardly ever does, but there is a jam switch in the event of one.
-Capacity 10/10 The blaster holds more ammo than any blaster at 40 rounds, second to a fully loaded Hailfire.
-General 9.8/10 A must buy for any nerfer. A combination of fire rate, range, and accuracy make the Pyragon a force to be feared on any battlefield.
