BTW, if you look at it closely (and with some imagination) the Hailfire without the ammo rack cover kinda looks like a shotgun if you think about it. Maybe nerf is gonna reuse Hailfire parts and just slap on a pump handle where the tactical rail is on the bottom.

It's not easy to run with given the awkward shape of it. People keep saying "it's not meant for that..." at the end of the day the rate of fire is no different to a Barricade or Rayven really. It's the ability to have lots of clips that is it's selling point but its awkward to reload.

It's how you can get away with 4 AA batteries instead of 6 D cells.<br /><br />The spring in an Elite Vulcan would be even stiffer, and require a more powerful motor to cycle, in turn requiring more power.

As an adult player of nerf with a full time job and fairly busy life, I appreciate the concise reporting mixed with honest, whine-free opinion.<br /><br />A question for you: were you using rechargeable 1.2V NiMH or standard 1.5V alkalines? Nerf probably touts their 75 foot range using alkalines I'm guessing.<br /><br />With some 3.5V+ lithiums (and a battery blank or two) do you think the increased performance and simplicity of the mod would make up for the awkwardness of the blaster? You're only running with 6V stock using alkalines, and I'd reckon you could comfortably bump it up to 9V or so without worrying about burning out the motor.<br /><br />What do you think?ArrCrazyBeardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518908358030099316.post-53789928379333948512012-08-08T00:57:45.321+10:002012-08-08T00:57:45.321+10:00Here's a question I've wanted the answer f...Here's a question I've wanted the answer for since I first saw the loading system, hopefully since you've tried this out you can help; <br /><br />Would it be possible for a two-man crew, fixed in a static, defensive position and a large pile of loaded clips, be theoretically able to lay down a sustained and continuous barrage of fire for as long as the batteries hold out? as in, is it possible for one person to be firing the Hailfire while a teammate proceeds to swap out empty clips in the loading mechanism for full ones - and in the process make it possible for true non-stop firing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518908358030099316.post-57304597385152381852012-08-07T23:48:56.026+10:002012-08-07T23:48:56.026+10:00>Pyragon was really a revamped Praxis

When you look at the Pyragon and the Hailfire, both of them have the highest ammo capacity of their respective lines. One of them fires faster and harder than the rest of its line, the other is, well, the Hailfire. They are both the flagship blasters of their lines (Nitron has surely been dethroned), it just happens that one of them brings a lot more to the table.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518908358030099316.post-18975134600758451852012-08-07T23:13:17.421+10:002012-08-07T23:13:17.421+10:00The Pyragon's accuracy kicks ass over the Hail...The Pyragon's accuracy kicks ass over the Hailfire.
