Range Launcher

The Ranger Launcher is a Nerf blaster that was released in 2009 as a McDonald's Happy Meal kids toy.

It comes packaged with two Launcher Darts and two targets.

Details
The Range Launcher resembles a crossbow. It holds one Launcher Dart in its barrel and the other in a dart holder on top of the blaster. It is fired by pulling and releasing a small plunger rod located at the end of the blaster. A small stand is located at the front to stabilize the blaster when it is set down upon a flat surface.

Despite not being an official part of the series, it features the N-Strike logo. The N-Strike logo can also be seen on the packaging of the blaster.

History
It was one of four promotional blasters released for one month in 2009 at participating McDonalds restaurants, alongside the Cannon Launcher, Double Launcher, and Swivel Launcher.

Modification
Due to its status as a promotional blaster that is not intended for serious performance, the blaster is incredibly difficult to modify. The simple internals and small shell of the blaster leave it alongside the rest of the McDonalds promotional blasters relatively difficult to make any large changes. At most, a spring replacement can be made.

Like many McDonalds toys, the McDonalds Nerf blasters feature triangular-headed screws, which are rather uncommon.
