Details
Edit
There are two triggers on the blaster; the top is the firing trigger, while the bottom is a separate trigger to power the integrated red light beam unit. It features a two-dart dart storage under the blaster's light and has a tactical rail on top of the blaster.
This blaster works with all Micro Dart and clip system dart types. Although a Streamline Dart won't fit all the way in the muzzle, it will still fire reasonably well.
History
Edit
The Firestrike is a successor to the N-Strike Nite Finder EX-3.
It was given a soft release in December 2012 along with the Strongarm and Stryfe in select retailers.
Reloading and firing
Edit
To reload the Firestrike, load a dart into the blaster's muzzle. Pull the plunger tube back to prime the blaster and pull the trigger to fire a dart.

| 8.8/10 | While the Firestrike has a vastly improved firing range over the Nite Finder, its rate of fire and capacity are still the same. Despite this, it is considered an improvement and a strong N-Strike Elite blaster. | |
