farrasdevell Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Now i'm sure somewhere there is an application for this Nerf Vulcan EBF-25 Is Plastic And Foam Pwnage By Evan Ackerman Back in the day, I was pretty proud of my Nerf Bow n’ Arrow. Recent Nerf innovations have made it about as obsolete as a real bow and arrow would be when compared to something like, oh, an M61 Vulcan. The recent Nerf innovation I am referring to specifically is of course the Nerf Vulcan EBF-25 electrically powered, belt fed, tripod mounted, foam dart annihilation machine. According to the Hasbro press release, it’ll come with a 25 dart ammo belt, and will run off of 6 D batteries. I’d love to know what the rate of fire is, and whether or not you can combine multiple ammo belts out of the box. It doesn’t really matter, though, since Nerf weaponry has a long history of user modification. My guess is that within a week of its fall 2008 release, industrious juvenile warmongers will have figured out how to jack it into a car battery and turn it into something magnificently dangerous. MSRP $39.99, recommended for ages 6 and up. Pictures of “Titan” (from American Gladiators, I guess) showing off a demo unit after the jump. [ Hasbro Press Release ] Link to post Share on other sites
Svack Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 hehe, looks fun, I would buy it Link to post Share on other sites
swannie_2006 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 wov! That is some serious office weapon. Looking forward to get my dirty hands on one of them Me and my flatmates are serial-nerf-killers. We have 7 guns and roughly 250 foam darts (4 or 5 types). I shall be king of the hill with this monster. Damn it will cost an arm and a leg to buy "backup" ammo Link to post Share on other sites
screamin_weasel Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 only $40 ? thats about 20 quid, which is pretty cheap. especially if the RoF is pretty decent. Link to post Share on other sites

chris u'5 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 only $40 ? thats about 20 quid, which is pretty cheap. especially if the RoF is pretty decent. I wouldn't count on it being £20 when it hits our shores Link to post Share on other sites

Stealthbomber Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 That seems to be properly belt-fed dunnit? Must say, I can see the ROF being sort of "Whiiirrrr, cer-lunk, click, POP...Whiiirrrr, cer-lunk, click, POP...Whiiirrrr, cer-lunk, click, POP..." if you see what I mean. Bearing in mind how easily a V2 gearbox breaks, I can't see how they could make this strong enough to fire fast and cost $40. Link to post Share on other sites
Galaxy613 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 With Nerf's offerings to far, I wouldn't get TOO hyped up about this. I doubt it's even full auto, and if it IS full auto, I doubt the range is very good at all. Link to post Share on other sites
swannie_2006 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 The gun is cheap (but wonder if it will hit the UK, you can't get the other NERF guns here either) but if you have a decent ROF then you need 4 or 5 belts of ammo for one battle. 150 extra ammo .. oh well.. I think my Canadian friends have to get to Zellers again only $40 ? thats about 20 quid, which is pretty cheap. especially if the RoF is pretty decent. Link to post Share on other sites
swannie_2006 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hi Stealth, I got one of those pump-action full-auto NERF guns for my friend. It is a bugger to pump it up each time before firing (well, he can do it pretty quickly. He has been single for 4 years now ) but it can unload 22 rounds under 4 seconds. Not bad And it seem to be sturdy enough to last at least 40-50K rounds. And at 40 dollars it is really really worth it. That seems to be properly belt-fed dunnit? Must say, I can see the ROF being sort of "Whiiirrrr, cer-lunk, click, POP...Whiiirrrr, cer-lunk, click, POP...Whiiirrrr, cer-lunk, click, POP..." if you see what I mean. Bearing in mind how easily a V2 gearbox breaks, I can't see how they could make this strong enough to fire fast and cost $40. Link to post Share on other sites
swannie_2006 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Nerf guns are not for sniping your colleague/friend/enemy from 2 miles. They are in-door toys. So their 12-15 feet range is enough and as with every NERF gun you can "spice" the spring up a bit to get some extra range. Only thing I am missing is a remote controll with camera so I can annihilate my friends when working from home. With Nerf's offerings to far, I wouldn't get TOO hyped up about this. I doubt it's even full auto, and if it IS full auto, I doubt the range is very good at all. Link to post Share on other sites

UrPeaceKeeper Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 So I wonder if you could shove a CA or A&K 249 gearbox in it and still have it shoot. That'd be crazy sick.
