Nerf Elite Pistols for the New Year
Hey Guys it's Thanimal here. I've picked myself up a few Elite pistols and I am very happy with them. I can say that I am no so crazy about the 3 original Elite blasters and my friends and I had many a talk about how if all the new elite blasters were like the Hailfire and just more elite copies, than Nerf was going to be heading down hill.
Since then however, Nerf has put out blasters like the Stryfe (which is becoming one of my favorites now) the roughcut and they are now remaking all the sidearms. Nerf has definitely stepped up their game and is putting out some pretty great blasters. Here are 2 of them. the Triad and the Firestrike:
Review of the Nerf Elite Triad
Review of the Nerf Elite Firestrike
Overall I am very excited about the new pistols that nerf is putting out much more than the bigger stuff at the moment. I still have yet to get my hands on a Strongarm but the review for that will be out as soon as I can grab one.
Cheers,
Thanimal

Lightning Blitz (1998)
Today I shall be reviewing the Nerf Lighting Blitz ( Hailstorm is the European name).
I received my Lightning Blitz BNIB - The box was in mint condition, and I got it for a very good price.
This blaster was released in 1998 under the Hasbro name and is part of the Air Jet series. It is known for firing five darts at once
On the box there are advertisements for the Secret Shot 2 and Triple Shot. It also has a lot of information about the blaster in English, French and German, when you get to the fine print, there is language for many EU countries.
Included inside the box is the Lightning Blitz, Five Micro Suction darts and an order form for more darts.
The Lightning Blitz is a very large blaster, very wide and bulky. It has five back-pressure tanks linked to one trigger and the pump is located inside the handle. I found that the OPRV on mine kicks in around 8 Pumps.
There is storage for five extra darts on this blaster, but personally it looks stupid when you do.
The darts have yellow bodies and black suction cups, the suction cups are smaller than on modern Micro Suction darts which is standard amount these vintage blasters.
It seems that you have to apply the stickers, but I haven't and don't plan to as I am going to be modding this. My stickers are different because they are the EU version.
There doesn't seem to be your standard AR's inside this blaster as I can fire Streamlines, maybe it's a different system, with just a peg.
I used this at Decembwar as my secondary and stock blaster and it was very fun, I was getting 25-30ft Flat with stock elite darts and getting a nice spread, which was helpful when I 90% of the time was hitting my targets.
When modified correctly this blaster can achieve ranges of 70ft.
Overall I'm rating this blaster as 8/10 because of its fun features and comfy shell.
