Mission App Tactical Rail Mount

The Mission App Tactical Rail Mount is a Nerf accessory that was released in 2013 under the N-Strike Elite series.

Details
The Mission App Tactical Rail Mount is a tactical rail accessory that allows a user to attach a smart phone or device to a Nerf blaster, for use with a Nerf app or game. Smartphones are placed into the mount horizontally; a hole is included in the mount's backside for use with the device's camera.

Variants
There exist two versions of the Mission App Tactical Rail Mount, an original blue model and an updated white model.

The original blue model is designed to hold an iOS smartphone; Android and Windows phones are not compatible with the mount due to the location and size of the holes for the camera.

The slightly larger white version of the mount is completely redesigned and can now also hold HTC, Motorola, and Samsung smartphones (and possibly others too), due to a much larger hole. Contrary to the prototype depicted in official product photos, however, the mount only has a hole on one side, therefore it is not possible to choose freely whether to insert the phone with the camera on the left or on the right side.

Despite these glaring differences, both versions are officially sold under the same Hasbro product code number (A4472). Only the actual tactical rail mount, which is a separate piece that attaches to the main mobile device holder, is the same sculpt between both versions; everything else is redesigned from scratch, even the orange piece that locks the device holder uses a different mechanism.

History
The original blue model was first revealed on Chinese website Baidu in the form of a series of leaked photos.

In September of 2013, the second version, now in white and blue, was discovered.
