While I'm not a fan of Fortnite, I definitely see the potential for more blasters that are based off of Fortnite weapons (which in turn, are based on real weapons, albeit extremely loosely and cartoonishly, all the more reason I'm starting to like this cross-promotional series).

Here's some weapons I'd like to see.

Compact SMG: In-game weapon is based on a disproportionate P90, but a blaster rendition of it would be cool anyway. It's unlikely that it would feed from a horizontal, top feeding magazine like the one in-game (it probably won't be a RIVAL blaster, after all) so I'm fine with it looking like a Rayven reshell. Could be called the SMGC-L.

Burst SMG: In-game weapon based on the Kriss Vector, and if the Worker Stryfe Vector kits have shown me anything, it's that I want a Nerf blaster based on the Vector. Basically another Stryfe reshell, however, based on its name, I think it would be especially appropriate if it fired in bursts. The pusher mechanism could be like those aftermarket Stryfe pushers that convert it to full-auto/burst by using a rack and pinion. Could be called SMGB-L, not sure.

Light Machine Gun: In-game weapon is based on the Mk. 46 machine gun, and it would be really cool to have an M249-style Nerf blaster, no matter how cartoony it would look. Maybe it's a bit too much to ask for to make it feed from Vulcan belts, much less to ask for it to be a motorized direct plunger since Vulcan belts might not work too well with flywheel pusher mechanisms. They could make an entirely new belt but I doubt they would, all the reasons this blaster might not even come to existence. Could be called the LMG-L or something. Also needs a bi-pod (could be a pre-existing one, it doesn't matter).

Drum Shotgun: In-game weapon based on the Fostech Origin-12. The problem with this idea is that it would basically be a 25-dart drum Stryfe, but that seems a little boring. Additionally, as demonstrated by the TS, I think Hasbro means for blasters based on shotguns to fire Mega Darts, and as we know, there's no Mega Dart drum (for good reason). I think if this became a reality, it would use a rotating drum/cylinder instead, which wouldn't be as cool but still cool. Could be called the DS or something.

Those are my ideas, and they are unlikely to happen. I'd also like to point out that Hasbro might not be comfortable naming their blasters SMGs or LMGs. What blasters would you guys like?
