Rattler

The Rattler is a Nerf blaster that was released in 1994 under the Max Force series.

It comes packaged with four Mega Darts.

Details
The Rattler slightly resembles a rattlesnake to keep in theme with the Max Force line.

It features a removable turret that holds four darts at a time. The Rattler does not have a trigger to fire it. Instead, it has a lever in the shape of a rattlesnake's tail that fires darts when it is pulled all the way back. It also does not have a standart holding handle, and is instead held by gripping the middle section of the blaster.

The Rattler will fire in a counter-clockwise pattern. The internals of the blaster rotate during firing, so there is no physical indicator of which barrel will fire next.

History
The Rattler and its mechanism was designed by David Griffin and Ronald G. Boyle, and granted a patent on July 16th, 1996, under the representation of lawyer Kurt R. Benson. It was spiritually succeeded by the 1997 Ratchet Blast of the Cyber Stryke Gear series.
