The speed of the RapidStrike's flywheels has two stages. The slowest stage occurs when the acceleration trigger is pulled; the second, faster stage occurs while both triggers are pulled. This cures the problem in other flywheel blasters where rapid fire decreases the flywheel speed and reduces range. The change in speeds can be heard when the clip is empty. Suggestion – To access batteries, you are going to need a Philips screwdriver. You need to buy the tool separately. If you are thinking of giving the blaster as a gift to your kid, make sure to buy these additional things too. The barrel of the blaster is notably rifled, similar to the Retaliator barrel extension. It features compatibility with barrel extensions; due to the barrel extension connector being a separate piece of plastic from the main barrel, it can loosen up, resulting in loose fitted barrel extension. It is incompatible with the LongStrike barrel extension, due to inner barrel supports.Now one thing with RapidStrike is that it comes with more than just a few tactical rails. Maybe a few won’t even come to your use as generally there’s no need to go for so many of them. The design will seem like the rails were fitted anywhere they found a space. It was re-released in 2014 with improved Elite XD internals and a white, blue, grey, and orange color scheme; this re-release was shown off at the 2014 New York Toy Fair.

The Nerf N-Strike Elite Rapidstrike CS-18, the very best there is. When you absolutely, positively, got to Nerf every melon-farmer in the room; accept no substitutes.Suggestion – If you specifically want to enjoy the best accuracy with any type of elite series nerfs blaster, consider getting the AccuStrike Darts. As these are better at giving accuracy with the spinning action. Overall – Comfortable Firing That is Also Controllable, Feels Light Enough to go into Corners and Spray, The Saga of Whole Auto Being Fast. 5. Priming Flywheel Performance with Easy Loading & Firing The usual case scenario has always shown that a springer is more reliable compared to a flywheel blaster. But the RapidStrike is a completely different story. It’s definitely pretty good and even works just fine with old darts. However, if the batteries start to get weak, you will notice issues. You need to press down the release button for mag change. Use your free hand for getting the mag out then. You can simply extend your middle finger for holding down the trigger. And the other hand can reach out. Both manners are nothing terrible or complicated, in fact, these are quite easy. This means the flywheel goes half-speed at first once you pull the spin button. After that, you pull the trigger and it starts accelerating up. So that the battery drain can be minimized. Also, to shorten the time required for spinning up. Smart!
