Rhino-Fire Confirmed!!

Earlier, we reported on the latest name for a new Nerf Blaster, the "Rhino-Fire".  As it turns out, it's actually a MEGA Dart Blaster as opposed to the original rumors that it was for Hasbro's new line of toys for The Amazing Spiderman 2.  The Rhino-Fire is the first Slam-Fire Flywheel blaster!  Simply pull back on the lever to grab a MEGA Dart, and upon pushing the lever back forward, slide the dart forward into the firing chamber where it's hurled 90 feet to it's target.  It's a surprisingly simple concept and completely reshapes the way we think about Flywheel-driven blasters!

The MEGA Rhino-Fire holds 18 MEGA Darts in a rotating chamber and has a tactical rail on top and a shoulder stock adapter just above the rear handle.  There's not information on how many batteries it takes, as we've yet to see a MEGA Flywheel blaster.  I'd imagine it would take stronger motors to launch these larger darts to the ranges that Nerf expects from the MEGA lineup.  No information on it's release date,  but I expect this to debut sometime in Fall of 2014.

  8. This is fake right? April Fools? After all, the darts are all blurry, and the picture in general, while somewhat convincing from a distance, is just to mis matched. I WISH this was real though... That would be legit!

  9. Shouldn't have tried the 18 dart claim man; that was DEFINITELY the least plausible statement.

  10. Nice fool's day joke, 'Zook, but I know a Revonix + Magnus photoshop when I see one. If you got fooled by someone else, well done to them for tricking the mighty 'Zook.

    I fee like this is appropriate given it's now the 2nd, but you can delete this post, or edit it, if you want to keep it a secret.

  11. So fake, kind of convincing at first, but 18 dart rotating barrel? Slam-fire flywheel blaster? Pretty obvious joke,
