I don't really have everything worked out, but if someone else wants to elaborate on this idea I will throw it out there.

I'm imagining a bolt-action rifle (yes, a true bolt throw like in World War I weapons) called the Stormguard. It would be similar in length to the Retaliator in terms of clip to end of barrel but would come with a slightly longer stock, which may have clip storage capabilities. The bolt itself could lock on either side for compatibility with both right and left-handed users. I'm unsure about the color scheme; I always pictured it with a light-tan overtone but I don't think Nerf has ever made a weapon like that. It would probably end up with the standard N-Strike Elite colors, which I think would look the best. (The bolt is orange, of course, and the overtone is blue.) Otherwise, it would work similarly to the other Elite weapons. It may end up being more prone to jamming but the actual bolt throw should work easily (it doesn't have to be very long) and its accuracy should be similar to, if not better than, the Retaliator.
