There seems to be some confusion about what to call this thing so lemme just point out something. I think the misconception is that the Havok Fire is a name exclusive to the Elite repaint Vulcan blaster that Mojo managed to get his hands on. But it's not, because Havok Fires have technically been around since the N-Strike era. Havok Fire was just an alternative name for the Vulcan when it was released in Europe.

There are some Havok Fires that are yellow (basically original N-Strike Vulcans but with the words "Havok Fire EBF-25" printed on the shell instead of "Vulcan EBF-25"), like this one in the picture.

That being said, I don't think there are any white Havok Fires (the one that Mojo has right now, the one in this thread) that have the words "Vulcan" printed on it. But I could be wrong.

So here in the west, because all the yellow Vulcans we've seen are just called "Vulcans", whereas the only Havok Fire we've seen is the Elite repainted, albeit rare "Havok Fire". As a result we tend to associate the name "Havok Fire" with the Elite repaint version.
