Rumours: N-Strike Elite Firestrike.. Nitefinder grows up


From Baidu, and the same dude with the interesting table cloth/bed spread comes a decent image of the upcoming proposed N-Strike Elite Firestrike. From what I can tell, it's a single shot evolution of a Nite Finder; the secondary switch/trigger on the grip activates the red light under the barrel.

Feel free to speculate and discuss- I just bring you the news:D

  5. That means the previously announce Incinerator is still another blaster entirely...

  6. This blaster looks GREAT! I can't wait to get my mitts on one of these, this will go great with my sniper longshot (nightvision scope+laser).Is that a warning label for an actual laser?

    1. Yes, it looks like one. However, it's in b/w unlike most other warning labels, so maybe not?

    2. The label on this one seems to be the same warning as on the nite-finder and Recon tac-light so its sad but no real laser HOPEFULLY ITS GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. Looks great! I've seen box art that says to look for the Firestrike in 2013 and Firestrike is one of the names the Nite Finder previously went by so I believe this is the real thing. The warning sticker makes it look ready to ship.

    The Incinerator appeared in a price list for a UK toy wholesaler and has never appeared in any other rumour, photo, etc. It carried a low price and Nerf has clearly moved away from attaching suffixes to their model names so I'm guessing it might be the real name of the Triad EX-3.

  8. The handle looks very comfortable. I wonder if the size of the plunger tube changed at all?

    1. Hey, Eric this one is not out yet its comin' out 2013. You can get the hail-fire, pyragon, rampage, or retaliator world-wide at most major-relailers and if you don't live in the USA you can get the Stockade too. Sorry USians!

  11. this may look real but doesnt the handle part look surprisingly like the element ex-6 handle?

  12. This is a fake, he took the element handle and made a fake.

    1. I like how you only used the handle as a means to call it a fake - totally blowing over the fact the shell is completely differnt. Moron, haha.

    2. You realize the Element is just a re-skinned Nite Finder.

    3. And it's not the Element prime handle either - though it would be perfectly excusable if it was! Every single N-Strike blaster that's had an "EX-" loading system except for the Jolt has had that exact prime handle, from the Nite Finder to the Switch-Shot. In any case, this isn't the same - you can see that the connection between the pull and the priming bar is reinforced and molded differently, extending further below the pull. Which fits with other pictures of the Firestrike that we've seen.
