Hasbro NERF Nstrike Havok Fire EBF-25 Blaster

Product Information

It has three tactical rails, two on the sides of the blaster and a third on top. It also has three strap points, one located on top of the muzzle, one under the front of the blaster, and one at the end of the blaster. The blaster features a large carry handle, not only to assist in carrying it, but to act as a grip for firing it from the hip. An included detachable tripod accessory allows the blaster to also be used stationary on a flat surface, similar to that of a turret. The Vulcan is also compatible with the Rhino-Fire tripod, in lieu of its own. The Vulcan EBF-25 is a large belt-fed blaster with two firing modes: a battery-operated fully-automatic firing mode, and a bolt-action single-fire firing mode. An included ammo box which houses the belt attaches to the left side of the blaster. The belt auto-advances as darts are fired. It is also featured in the Roblox game Nerf Strike, where its likeness is used for the Turret player ability. The Vulcan is the second heaviest Nerf blaster ever sold, at 7.7 lbs (3.49 kg), behind the Mega Mastodon and the Titan CS-50, which both weight 7.72 lbs (3.5 kg).

The Vulcan was announced in early February of 2008. News began to spread around February 13th, after it was discussed on popular forum NerfHaven. [3] There was heavy speculation before pictures were revealed that it was going to be an air system blaster. Pictures were revealed several days later on the 18th of February. [4] Early versions of the Vulcan featured a chrome-colored handle at the top of the blaster, no yellow plates on the tripod, and an orange belt. It also featured more yellow and less grey on the center of the shell. planned potential cosmetic upgrades include either a "minigun" mod or making it look like one of the heavy guns from Aliens. =D One solution is for the user to help feed the belt by holding it up by hand, though this can be uncomfortable, and is still not as reliable as an ammo box may be. Some modders have even circumvented the issue by modding a real military ammo box and attaching it to the Vulcan.

The Vulcan, in a more complete form, made an appearance at an unknown convention in early June of 2008. The blaster was shown firing roughly between two and seven feet, barely leaving the blaster itself in some cases, leading to disappointment among some fans. [5] This may have simply been due to the fact that this was an early model and not a finished version. Early rumors claimed a release on July 1, 2008. [6] End to end... with a loop stitch... or whatever... it doesn't need to be fancy, it just needs to hold the two pieces in place. Notice there are convenient holes in the nylon from where it was connected with small teeth inside the dummy casing? The camouflage Micro Darts included in the Ammo Bag Kit fit very snug into the Vulcan's belt, creating a tighter air seal and improve firing performance as a result. [ citation needed] Absolutely... it's a bit of a tradeoff between the ease of running through the smaller ammo belts with the convenience of not having to replace the belt every 25 shots... the trade-off is that the 50+ belts are too heavy for the mechanics to pull them through the gun unless the weight is supported, either by hand or in a connected drum.

In the end, it should look something like this... more or less one continuous line of mylon strapping. Southern Brisbane Nerf Club (2013-12-07).

The Vulcan did not make the transition over to the N-Strike Elite line. When Hasbro was asked the status on the Vulcan, they refused to comment, possibly hinting an upcoming re-release. [9] By December of 2013, a re-release of the Vulcan with an N-Strike Elite-inspired color scheme came out, this time under the international name Havok Fire EBF-25. [10]. This version features identical performance to the N-Strike variant and includes Elite Darts rather than Whistler Darts.

A scaled up, promotional version of the Vulcan BF-50 was created and was shown off at Nerf events. [2] It used a wall outlet as its power source and fired a much larger dart. Judging from the sound, it seems to use an air compressor rather than a plunger to fire the dart. [ citation needed] In the end... your casing should look pretty darned close to the the way it did before... and pretty darned identical to the ones on either side of it.
