Disk Shot

The Disk Shot is a Nerf accessory that was released in 2007 under the N-Strike series. Its wireless remote requires two "AAA" batteries to be operated.

It comes packaged with the Disk Shot Set, along with six foam disks.

Details
The Disk Shot is a Nerf-branded disc launcher. The disc launcher is unique in that it fires discs into the air for the player to fire at, much like actual skeet shooting. Discs are launched by using the packaged remote, which can be attached to a blaster via tactical rail.

Pressing the "launch" button on the top rear side of the remote will cause a disc to be tossed into the air. Players can also choose which angle to toss the disc into the air; discs can be fired either straight up or as much as 45 degrees to the left or right. A red plastic tab protruding from the launch slot visually indicates the launch angle, but that tab can be pushed in out-of-view for an added challenge.

The "motion" button on the side of the remote toggles between a constant launch angle or sweeping back and forth.

The discs are inserted into the back of the Disk Shot. There is a spring-loaded plastic arm holding the discs in place once inserted.

Technical specifications
The power supply is part number Bl13-060220-AdU, output is 6VDC 2.2A center-positive polarity. The remote uses an infrared signal, which requires line-of-sight visibility of the base unit.

History
The Disk Shot received a successor in the form of the Disk Shooter, a similar Nerf accessory that was not made by Hasbro.

Trivia

 * The infrared signals for Launch, Move, and also Launch Height (which the included remote does not have a button for, but is equivalent to remotely pressing the yellow button on the base unit) can be programmed into other IR-transmitting devices (such as cellphones with IR blasters).
