Spartan NCS-12

The Spartan NCS-12 is a fictional Nerf blaster that appeared in Nerf N-Strike and Nerf N-Strike Elite.

In Nerf N-Strike Elite, it is used by Komodo.

In Nerf N-Strike is unlocked by completing Commandeer, the third challenge in Komodo's chamber; alternately, it can be unlocked early by entering the cheat code "THISIS12". In Nerf N-Strike Elite, it can be unlocked early by entering the cheat code "ICON".

Details
The Spartan NCS-12 is a clip system blaster that fires a burst of three darts at once. It features an equipped red dot sight similar to the real life pinpoint sight. Oddly, its bolt goes forward when reloading and backwards for firing, unlike other bolt-action weapons.

Similarities to the Stampede ECS
The real life Stampede ECS may have taken inspiration from the Spartan NCS-12; this speculation is backed up by similarities in both blasters:

The Stampede was known to the public as the "Spartan" before its official name was announced. The integrated shoulder stock of the Stampede also looks identical to the Spartan's, save for it being thinner. The only big difference between the two is that the firing mode switch has been removed from the Stampede, leaving its successor with only fully automatic operation and no manual firing mode.

In-game data
|-|Nerf N-Strike= "The name alone can strike fear. A huge load capacity of twelve rounds and a blazing fast triple-burst mode, capable of delivering over nine darts per second, make this blaster the envy of every N-Strike Elite."


 * -|Nerf N-Strike Elite= "Three dart rapid fire bursts make quick work of any robot horde."

Modification
In Nerf N-Strike Elite, the Spartan can have its Dart Damage, Rate of Fire, and Max Ammo upgraded. By default, it fires Streamline Darts, but can be upgraded to fire Streamline Sticky Darts, Whistler Darts, Howler Darts, Smoke Tracers, and Nova Tracers.

Trivia

 * The Spartan's unlock code in Nerf N-Strike, "THISIS12", is a reference to the film 300. Combining it with the Spartan's name will closely match the movie's famous quote, "This is Sparta!"
 * In Nerf N-Strike, the Spartan is able to fire Micro Darts, despite being a clip system blaster; this would be an impossible feat in real life.
