Nerf Vortex? Interesting! :)
nerf vortex... kinda sounds like those things that you throw.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait!
ReplyDeleteNerf Vortex? A little scary-sounding for some blasters, if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteVortex: I thought that name sounded familiar...
ReplyDeleteHello everybody SG Nerf, I am the owner of a Brazilian blog: enerfounada.blogspot.com.E like to make a partnership. Give your answer in my recent posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
But it clearly says top secret NERF VORTEX blaster collection. so these are BLASTERS not footballs. so at least we wouldn't be confused.
ReplyDeleteif nerf will be focusing on dart tag, does this mean they will stop making new clipsystem blasters because tag darts dont fit in the mags?
ReplyDeleteyeah...maybe darts with an aerodynamic tail that twist and travel farther?!?
ReplyDeleteDarts that travel farther, and more important...accurately.
ReplyDeleteAny moders out there tried a spinning dart?
I must wonder if this is gonna be a resurrection of the Vortex Tornado, Firestorm, Powerstrike and the other ring shooters that hit an average of 60ft PTG distance...only problem with those was, the slightest wind would knock em waaaay off course...
ReplyDeleteVortex guns might be guns that shoot the vortex footballs.
ReplyDeleteI just wanna see a gun that is automatic and can have a stock attachment and a nossle atachment.
ReplyDeletealso it would be good if they could make another chain gun
I think that the new vortex series will just be a new calibre of dart, hopfully smaller so then they could make clips that go into a handle like an uzi. it would also be good if it was a scattershot shotgun.
ReplyDeletethey are foam disk shooters as far as i can tell not dart blasters
ReplyDeletethey dont say one thing about a new n strike gun
ReplyDeletei'm with nerfer101...that is if he's implying that he's shocked/unhappy that there was no mention of a new n strike series or any n strike weapons at all for that matter being put out in the 2011 year...i almost feel as if there should have been a survey or poll asking nerf nation you know..."THE LOYAL CUSTOMERS"...if they would rather have more n strike weapons that seem alot more realistic and high tech in appearance due to guns consisting of clip system weaponry that shoot streamline darts replicating bullets making for much more realistic warfare ,ignoring that fact that these bullets are rubber as opposed to hot lead...Or if we as the customers would rather have guns that appear to be straight out of a bad and very old star trek episode, and instead of shooting rubber bullets at eachother now were going to shoot minature frisbees at one another...i'm die hard nerf nation but i must say i'm very disappointed with the 2011 line the whiteout and gear up paint jobs are great but most of us are doing custom paint jobs ourselves these days anyways after we manipulate the internals...the only good i see coming from the vortex line is the battery powered center fire tech scope included in the nitron package because it has tactical rails allowing me to paint it and mount it onto my already modded n strike weapons and even than i'm still out money after i try to sell the nitron to some little kid because i'm surely going to have to lower the price of the weapon from its retail original in order to get rid of it...the least they could have done was figure out a way to make bullets more top heavy or weighted in the tip allowing them to take advantage of more inertia causing longer range and better accuracy even though the majority of the nerf nation has discovered a method for solving that dilemma as well..hot glue tips...anyways way to go Nerf you managed to find a way to get me the customer to spend 40 to 50 dollars on a toy only to keep the accessory, i feel like a kid who was given a happy meal and all i got to eat was fries before the burger and toy were snatched away from me...real nice
ReplyDeleteBtw, Zano...your guess about the purpose for the name vortex was top dollar..how creative of you haha a gun that shoots footballs...there are already warnings on the guns about refraining from shooting bullets into peoples eyes or faces due to the possibility of injury but now you suggest we shoot footballs at each others head so now instead of having to worry about a small rubber bullet being able to cause damage to a lense or retina we only have to worry about blunt force trauma, concussions, and permanent brain damage when people are getting blind sided by a football to the temple haha well done champ
