Typically a flagship blaster is the biggest, or highest capacity, or greatest ROF, or has the most number of parts/accessories. The Strongarm never met that criteria. At the time, the Hail Fire was undoubtedly the flagship blaster with record setting capacity, surpassed only by the RapidStrike's ROF, and subsequently by the Rhino-Fire's physical size.

I would also argue that the term "flagship blaster" is subjective and changes over time. Hasbro rarely uses the term to describe its own blasters. The NIC often bestows that title. And we have no formal voting process 😉
