Twenty-five dart drum

The twenty-five dart drum is a Nerf dart drum that was released in 2012 under the N-Strike Elite series.

It comes packaged with certain Nerf products and cannot be purchased separately in stores.

Details
As the name would suggest, the twenty-five dart drum can hold up to twenty-five Elite Darts at a time. It is larger than the eighteen dart drum and smaller than the thirty-five dart drum, and has a centered design, rather than an asymmetrical design weighted to one side. It is also compatible with Streamline Darts and other clip system-compatible darts.

History
As this comes packaged with the Rampage, it is generally assumed this is the successor to the thirty-five dart drum, the drum packaged with the Rampage's predecessor, the Raider Rapid Fire CS-35.

A newer version of the drum was released with the HyperFire in 2016; this would add a large Nerf logo, as well as a "25" molded onto its side. It would also lose some detail seen in the previous version, notably around the edges of the drum's circular face.

Trivia

 * Despite being advertised to hold twenty-five darts, a total of twenty-seven darts can be fit into the drum without any damage. However, loading it past the advertised capacity makes blasters more prone to jamming and darts more prone to warping and damage.
