Because of the similar art design cues (tiger stripe camouflage embossed on the shell, blue, orange, black, grey plastic shell, etc.), I expected a repeat of the predecessor blaster, the Nerf Elite Hyperfire, but apparently the internals are closer in relation to the Nerf Elite Rapidstrike in that it has a dart-pusher feeding mechanism after it’s conveyor belt relays the dart from your fingertips and to a chamber above the magazine, which then activates another mechanism that pushes the dart down into to the magazine chamber.
