Hasbro Unveils NERF Gun With Gel Rounds That Burst On Impact

It was only last week that Hasbro announced that pop-culture aficionados could now transform into collector-grade figurines of characters from Star Wars, Power Rangers, and even Marvel by having their faces 3D-printed on action figures.

The toymaker shows no signs of slowing down, with its latest launch of a brand-new NERF gun, the NERF Pro GelFire Mythic blaster, comprising 10,000 gel-like rounds that burst upon being fired, doing away with the need to retrieve pesky foam darts altogether. 

Using patented technology exclusive to the brand, the sleek blaster fires super absorbent, hydrated polymer projectiles, with the ability to discharge 800 rounds in less than 80 seconds. Just take the dehydrated “ammunition” out of the box, add water, and shoot!

The blaster will come with full-auto and semi-auto modes—which releases up to 10 rounds per second for that action movie feel—and comprises a removable barrel, extendable stock, protective eyewear, a rechargeable battery, and a charging cable. 

“As an exclusive to NERF, the patented innovations in the NERF Pro Gelfire Mythic blaster pave the way for a new NERF blaster category, further cementing NERF as a leading social, active play lifestyle brand,” remarked Adam Kleinman, Senior Vice President of NERF at Hasbro. 

The NERF Pro GelFire Mythic blaster is now available for pre-order at US$79.99, and is expected to hit store shelves by November 1, 2022.
