I’ve been ridiculously enthusiastic about Nerf since I was young enough for it to still be considered appropriate, and I especially like the big guns. My favorite remains the Nerf Vulcan, an absurd, tripod-mounted Nerf gun that is belt fed like a freaking M2 machine gun. Naturally, a gatling gun or minigun sounds like a lot of gun, and Hasbro has experimented with several designs in the past.
The newest heavy Nerf gun is the Nerf Elite Titan CS-50. It’s a massive Nerf machine gun with a spinning barrel and a magazine the size of the Vulcan’s ammo box. Hasbro sent us one, and it’s an incredibly fun blaster.
Just look at it. Huge barrel, huge magazine, big handles on top so you can feel like the Heavy from Team Fortress 2, Roadblock from G.I. Joe, or… are there any heavy machine gun users from references that aren’t quite so ancient? Overwatch doesn’t have one, I don’t think Fortnite has heavy machine guns, there’s no game or cartoon teaching kids about the joys of ridiculously large, comical firearms. Coco Adel in RWBY? Maybe?
Anyway, it’s a big minigun-looking Nerf gun. The barrel even spins loudly, which is a pretty fun effect. It’s just an effect, though, since the Titan only has one barrel and functionally works like any Nerf automatic rifle like the Stampede, Rapidstrike, or Hyperfire.
It actually fires a bit slower than the Rapidstrike or Hyperfire, maybe a dart and a half a second. That isn’t bad, because it means you can fire for longer (and spray-and-pray as a strategy doesn’t really work for anything but surpressing fire anyway). You can also fire longer because of the massive 50-round magazine. It holds 50 darts in an infinity pattern, like The Boss’s Patriot from Metal Gear Solid 3. Only it actually does run out, since it isn’t really infinite.
Once again, Hasbro has made a big, dumb, fun Nerf gun. It isn’t super fast, but it’s loud and goofy. Check it out.
