The Strongarm is a 2013 N-Strike Elite blaster that can hold up to 6 Elite Darts. It is essentially a Maverick REV-6 redone with "Elite Distance". It costs $9.99 on average, and got good reviews when it first came out. It is capable of slam firing.The Strongarm uses a direct-plunger system, potentially allowing for higher ranges than blasters with reverse plunger systems. This mechanism is in most other N-Strike Elite blasters as well. For a blaster of its size, and even when compared with some other larger blasters, it has a very long range. The Strongarm is a very well respected blaster in the Nerf community, similar to the view of the Longshot by nerfers.
Review
| Strongarm - 9.5 | ||||||||

 NStrikeAgent335 | ||||||||
| The Strongarm is Nerf's take on improving a Maverick's power, essentially modifying it and giving it a somewhat new tooling. | ||||||||
| Ammo: Elite Darts | ||||||||
| Pros: Range is excellent, accuracy of Maverick is retained, slam-fire capable, virtually never jams, turret drops out further than Maverick, priming indicator, scalloping of the rotating cylinder makes it easier to clear jams | ||||||||
Cons: Barrel rotates on plunger return, making it impossible to fully load it without utilizing the barrel drop, can't use streamline darts, sometimes just doesn't work.
| ||||||||
| ||||||||
| The Strongarm is a very powerful weapon, almost scoring full marks in all categories. Because of increased rate of fire, jamming problems are reduced, making this a more fun blaster to use. | ||||||||
