| − | The '''Vulcan EBF-25''' (Electronic Belt-Fed) is a large fully automatic [[Nerf]] blaster of the popular [[N-Strike]] line modeled after a belt-fed machine gun, released mid 2008. It operates using a [[Nerf Vulcan Ammunition Belt]], which can be modified to be endlessly long, provided the user has the necessary amount of belts on hand. It uses 6 D-cell batteries. It comes with a single 25 round belt, [[Sonic Micro Dart]]s, and a tripod. The belt sections themselves can accept a wide range of darts, including taggers. It also has three tactical rails, one on each side and one on top of the blaster. This blaster is included in the Nerf Wii game with its customized brother: the Vulcan Magma. |

| − | The Vulcan has become notorious for jamming, though the most common reasons for jamming are because the darts are not tightly packed into each belt canister because this causes very little air pressure to get to the dart which will frequently cause darts to get stuck between the chain and barrel. To solve this problem, the darts must be stiff enough (but not overly stiff) and they must be packed tightly into each belt canister. This allows more air pressure to build up behind the dart and launch it out of the gun, increasing range and preventing jams. Combining two or more ammo belts to make a larger one is also a common mod, though it's usually 50-round belts as one of the Vulcan versions comes with 2 25-round belts. However, more belts can be purchased separetly. |

Most battery brands other than [http://www.duracell.com/en-US/product/coppertop-alkaline-batteries.jspx Duracell] seem to have very limited discharge rates and will cause a low fire rate.

As long as this blaster is used by older kids (10 and up) whom are strong enough to easily move the blaster (as well as remember to pack the darts into each belt canister very tightly to greatly increase range and reliability), problems may never occur. This blaster will perform excellently as long as the user knows how to use/handle it correctly. |

The Vulcan EBF-25 (also known as the Havok Fire EBF-25 in Europe) is a large fully automatic Nerf blaster of the popular N-Strike line modeled after a belt-fed light machine gun/machine turret, released mid-2008. It operates using a 25-Dart Belt, which can be modified to be endlessly long. However, doing this means that the standard ammo box provided will not fit the entire belt. It uses 6 "D" batteries. It comes with a single 25 round belt, 25 Sonic Micro Darts, and a tripod. It also has 3 tactical rails, one on each side and one on top of the blaster. This blaster is included in the Nerf Wii game with its customized brother, the Vulcan Magma. The Vulcan has become notorious for jamming, though the most common reasons for jamming are because the darts are not tightly packed into each belt link. This causes very little air pressure to get to the dart which will frequently cause darts to get stuck between the chain and barrel. In 2009, a more reliable wave of Vulcans were released, and have much less jams. It was re-released in 2013 with a white and orange color scheme and stronger internals, but has since been discontinued due to the popularity of the N-Strike Elite line.
