Rhino-Fire Pre-orders Are Live!

Warriors! Have you seen the news? The Rhino-Fire is listed for pre-order exclusively at Walmart.com. The nice news that comes along with it is the $89.97 price tag. I don't know if that price will remain after the pre-order period. After all, it was set to be listed at $99.99 when first announced.

Check out their promo video from the Nerf facebook page too:

Sean Hollister at Gizmodo got a chance to review this one early. He labels the Rhino-Fire as the Most Badass Foam Blaster Ever Built. That might be jumping the gun just a little bit, but I'm glad to know it's still setting off geek sensors :)

The two-stage trigger might take some getting used to since most of us have grown accustomed to the flywheel activators that are native to all the other N-Strike Elite flywheel blasters. Also, with the accuracy problems that Hollister notes, the Most Badass award may have issues too.

Can't wait to put this through our combine of tests! ~Chris

Rhino Fire, Part 2

Good news, warriors. NERF got back to us with the official release concerning the Rhino Fire we reported on earlier today. Some good things and possibly worrisome notes in the mix.

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.
