NERF is making NERF Nation creatures of the night with their new glow in the dark, LED Firefly technology on their latest line of NERF Blasters. And it’s pretty cool.
Previewed on their NERF Nation Facebook page, the new Firefly technology is being launched with the NERF Vortex Lumitron and the conventional NERF Rayven shotgun style pistol, which has an extra long, 18 shot dart clip. The clip itself is battery operated because it’s also LED lit, while the Vortex discs and the conventional darts are glow in the dark to give your game play a kind of tracer round like feel.
The result is that kids can get into foamy firefights at night, although NERF is pretty adamant that kids need to play in an area that has been well cleared of obstacles so that they don’t trip and fall in the dark and kill themselves. Check out the video of it in action:
Additionally, there’s a great breakdown of the new extended ammo clips from Tactical Tag and how they affect the Nerf Rayven’s new rear mounted clip feeder:
As you can see, while cool looking to move the clip to the back, if you’re planning on using your drum feed clip, you’re going to run into some mild discomfort as you shoot on the run.
The cost of the new Rayven and Vortex Lumitron are around $29.99, and Target has the Light Up Rayven right now. The Vortex Lumitron will be out by mid March.
