The Hail-Fire is indeed a flagship blaster. But then again, there isn't just one flagship. Sure the Hail-Fire was the flagship of the first batch of blasters released, but it eventually got phased out. The Rapidstrike seemed to replace it, then the HyperFire, and inow it looks the Infinus is the newest flagship, at least of the N-Strike Elite line.

The definition of flagship according to Google is "the ship in a fleet which carries the commanding admiral.", or in Nerf terms, the biggest, baddest, most popular blaster of the year. So it's fine to say the Hail-Fire is a flagship, because it was at one point. The Strongarm, is not. It may be very popular and iconic, but it certainly isn't the most important blaster that was released in that year. I'm actually a bit surprised you didn't say the Stryfe, because that's probably the most popular N-Strike Elite blaster I can think of (at least in the NIC).
