The Stampede ECS (Electronic Clip System) was released on 9/9/10. It has a detachable grip/bipod mounted on the underside of the blaster. The standard-issue clip holds 18 darts. The blaster comes with three 18 round clips and one 6 round clip equaling 60 rounds in total (Worth $12.00 by themselves) that come with the blaster. Also included is a detachable shield that you can attach to some blasters and a grip/bipod that is detachable via the standard Nerf Tactical Rail system. The blaster is the first clip-system blaster to be fully automatic. Later, another fully automatic clip-system blaster, the Rapidstrike CS-18, followed in its footsteps. It costs USD$50 in stores at this point. It was advertised in the "Clear the Way" advertisement, showing previous blasters being remade with a transparent color.

| Pros: A good fire rate, a high ammo capacity, especially if you use a 35-dart drum, the most tactical rails out of any Nerf gun, for those of you who like that kind of thing, and a bunch of other stuff. | ||||||||
Cons: First of all, it's heavy, secondly, it's accuracy is mediocre, third of all, it's heavy, fourth, it's battery powered, and finally, it's heavy.
| ||||||||
| ||||||||
| For what it lacks in accuracy, it makes up for in sheer fire power. A good all around blaster and definitely a blaster you can depend on... Well, assuming you can carry it. | ||||||||

Trivia
- Some people confuse this with the Stampede REV-12, a blaster featured in the Nerf N-Strike video game. Ironically, the only similarities between the two are the names.
- It also looks a lot like the Spartan NCS-12 from the N-Strike Video Game.
- The Stampede was released on September 9th, 2010 (9/9/10).
- This is the most expensive Nerf blaster in the United States, with the exclusion of special value packs.
- The Stampede ECS is one of the heaviest Nerf blasters.
- Despite this, on the below commercial, someone was shooting one with each hand.
- When the blaster was first viewed by select members of the NIC that were invited to the launch event, the original name of the blaster was Stampede ECS-50, in the same styling of every other N-Strike blaster. It seems that after a certain NIC ambassador mentioned to one of the designers that the number 50 should have been a 60, the designer went to speak to a colleague. Sure enough, when they were released, the only ones that said 50 were in display cases. Strangely, the Stampede in its Japanese commercial had a 50 on its label, but the people making the commercial said ECS instead of ECS-50.
- The reason for the Stampede originally being called the Stampede ECS-50 was because it was originally suppose to come with a 50 dart drum. Hasbro later scrapped this idea.
- It is called the Blazing Burst ECS in Japan.
- The Stampede ECS was ripped off by an unknown Chinese Company with extremely minor changes in the tactical rails and comes with a cheap plastic scope.
- It's the blaster with the most tactical rails.
- There is a keychain based on it.
