NEW NERF Rhino Fire Charges onto the Scene

Check it out, Warriors! Looks like the big bad blaster for the season may have already leaked out! Check out what showed up on the Spanish Amazon site. The box art calls it the Rhino Fire while the site calls it the Rhino Strike.

Now, it doesn't show in stock yet, but that's only a matter of time. At first glance, this looks like the new answer to the Vulcan/Havok of old. With the large bipod and high dual output, this looks to be the new "turret" weapon for the market.

Just from looking at the artwork, you can see that this will be drum-fed (likely flywheel-fired). It looks like the back has a similar trigger system to the Vulcan. There looks to be a tactical rail -at least on the right front and the top.


I am wondering about what looks like venting just behind the ammo feed. It almost looks like the side of some heavier hand-held appliances and tools. Could this be cranking the output even higher than the Rapidstrike?

The box lists the blaster as firing up to 90 feet. Can't wait to test out it's effective range!

One other thing I am already wondering about is a bandolier or strap accessory. The picture of the kid on the box shows him holding it at one point. I know a lot of people preferred a strap on the Vulcan. I can't expect any different with the Rhino Fire/Strike.

We're checking in with our NERF contacts and hope to have more information for you by the end of the day. ~Chris
