Nerf Vortex Nitron blasters hurl ultra-distance discs for the ultimate battle experience. View larger. Efficient, Powerful Technology Nitron uses Xtra Long-Range (XLR) technology to propel a full-auto storm of discs towards targets to an extreme range. An acceleration trigger powers up the motor to hurl discs from a 20-disc magazine. Additional magazine storage holds extra discs for efficient reloading (supplementary magazine and discs sold separately). Simple Assembly for Maximum Distance A combination of battery power and disc technology makes this blaster as fun as it is effective. The discs slide easily into the magazine for loading and the magazine snaps firmly into place when inserted into active or storage openings. A disc-eject switch slides forward to lock the magazine into place for the blaster to function. To prepare for rapid firing, squeeze down on an acceleration trigger to power up the motor. At that point, you're free to pull the standard trigger and overpower your opponent with the range of your blaster. In the rare case of a disc jam, the disc-eject switch easily slides backward to clear the jammed disc. Realistic and Customizable Detailing An attachable Centerfire Tech Electronic Scope centers your aim with pulsing targeting lights, which can flash at three different rates with the push of a button. Though our testers did not often use this accessory, they found its multiple light-up options provided a pleasing extra detail to the overall battlefield experience. Because it uses the Tactical Rail System, Nitron is compatible with most accessories from Vortex and N-Strike systems, giving you the option to personalize this blaster.

Nerf N-Force Mavericks in Camo
Here's the final product of my camo test.
For this I used my new studio lights. Shoot-thru umbrella w/ strobe at 1/2 power on left. Softbox w/ strobe on full power on right.
These toy guns are great fun! I can't wait to try this same paint scheme on my Remington 887!
