Details
The Striker Slingshot, as its name suggests, is a slingshot-style blaster. It holds three Ballistic Balls at a time and is powered by a bungee cord, which, when pulled back and released, opens a chamber where the ball is dropped into. Upon releasing the bungee cord the ball is struck by a yellow rod which launches the ball. This is what sets it apart from the other Nerf slingshot-style blasters, which fire by direct contact from the cord itself.

History
It was a successor to the 1991 Original Nerf Slingshot; it would later be succeeded by the 2003 Atom Blasters Atomizer.

The Striker Slingshot has an interesting history; it is one of the few series-less blasters released around the years 1999 to 2001, alongside other blasters like the Ball Blaster, Gyro Strike, Arrow Strike and several others. As it was not released within a series, it is generally considered to be a part of the Power Nerf series, the current series at the time. Despite this, it was never actually part of an official series.

The Striker Slingshot was slated for a fall 2000 release. It is unknown exactly when the blaster was released, although sources point to a release in between December 2000 and January 2001. It is unknown why the release of the blaster was pushed back.
