Neither of these actually serve a purpose now that the Strongarm and Firestrike are out. My only guess as to why these are being produced is to regain some sales lost after the deaths of the NF and Mav, two of the most successful Nerf blasters in recent memory. This also goes for the Barrel Break, Jolt, Reflex, and Vulcan, all quite successful blasters.

Perhaps this is why we're not seeing less popular blasters such as the Scout and the air system blasters get re-releases; they didn't obtain enough sales in their original lifespan to justify a re-release.
