The Nerf Hail-Fire uses a "clip carousel" design with a flywheel powered system to launch foam darts in semi-auto. It features 2 spinning flywheels positioned in a vertical layout (similar to the Nerf Barricade).
Pull the "acceleration trigger" button at the trigger handle (similar to the Nerf Rayven) to power up the flywheels, then pull the main trigger to fire. Each trigger pull fires one shot. The rate-of-fire depends on the how quick you can continuously pull the trigger.
The "clip carousel" system is operated via its advance carry handle, each time the handle is pushed forward, the carousel will rotate anti-clockwise by one ammo slot. The blaster has 8 x ammo slots.
It comes packaged with 4 x 6-dart clips and 24 x Elite foam darts. The clips are translucent on the right side for easier viewing of the ammo count. It is also compatible with all other N-Strike clips and drum magazines too (sold separately).
With additional ammo clips, the Hail-Fire is able to attain the highest ammo capacity amongst all current Nerf blasters. With an 8 x 18-dart clip configuration, it allows for an ammo capacity of 144 foam darts!
Elite foam darts are lighter than Streamline foam darts, and their tip weight are focused further forward to enhance performance. In addition, they can also be used with most Nerf blasters.
The Hail-Fire utilizes the new Elite foam darts to achieve longer ranges. The box states "fires up to 75ft".
The blaster requires 4 x AA batteries to operate (batteries sold separately). It is compatible with most N-Strike tactical rail accessories.
Average stock range is around 45-55ft (parallel-to-ground) or 65-75ft (angled-to-ground).
