The Element EX-6 is an external mechanism Nerf blaster that was released in 2007 under the N-Strike series. It requires two "AAA" batteries for its light to be operated.

It comes packaged in the Element EX-6 Action Kit, the Disk Shot Set, and the Disk Shot Expansion Pack blaster sets.

Details[]

The Element EX-6 is a direct-prime-action single-shot blaster, similar to the Switch Shot EX-3 and the Nite Finder EX-3. There is storage for five additional darts under its muzzle.

It features one tactical rail atop it and one strap point located on the end of its handle.

Streamline Darts will not work with this blaster without modification, due to the dart post inside the Element.

History[]

The Element was originally available in the 2007 Disk Shot Set. At the time, it did not have a name and was simply known as the Disk Shot Blaster. It was given its own blaster set, the Element EX-6 Action Kit, in 2008.

It was re-released in 2019 under the ICON Series, to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Nerf brand.

Modification[]

The Element EX-6 is an extremely easy blaster to modify. It features nearly the same internals as the Nite Finder EX-3, another popular blaster for modifications. One notable difference is that the barrel pieces within the Element are not glued; the pieces are all easy to disassemble. This makes air restrictor modding and barrel exchanging extremely easy.

Blaster sets[]

The Element can be found in the Disk Shot Set, packaged with no accessories, and the Element EX-6 Action Kit, packaged with a tactical scope and a Dual-Mode Light Beam. It is also packaged with most of the many value packs of the Disk Shot Set, with the notable exceptions of a Firefly REV-8 value pack and the Maverick REV-6 twin value pack.

Trivia[]

  • Elite Darts and Streamline Darts are hard to remove from the dart storage on the Element, as their smaller dart heads in comparison to Micro Darts make them slide too far back into it to be easily removed.
  • The handle of the Element is similar to the handle mold seen recurring on several N-Strike blasters including the Switch Shot, Recon CS-6, Barricade RV-10, and the Alpha Trooper CS-18.
  • The Element can be duel wielded by attaching a cord to their priming rods.
  • The Chinese company Leyuan has produced a bootleg of the Element, known as the "Crossfire Gun: Super Blaster". This version of the blaster has a four-dart storage, rather than five.
  • Like the majority of the external mechanism blasters, the Element is capable of bow-firing, by holding down the trigger while pulling back and releasing the priming mechanism.
