I'm all for a bolt action rifle, one where you actually need to turn the bolt first, like the Jupiter or Alpha Rogue. We've got a number of bolt-actions in Zombie Strike but they are all straight pull.

Flare Gun is a cute idea and I'm surprised we haven't gotten that yet. I'd actually go one step further and maybe have it feed from SledgeFire shells. It might have an external priming mechanism like a hammer or slide, like the ShellStrike DS-6.

All-in-all, the main gimmick of the Zombie Strike line is that these blasters are created from scraps, which I actually dig. Sure, I guess early blasters like the Hammershot and SledgeFire were supposed to represent some leftover firearms in a Zombie Apocalypse, but with the creative direction Hasbro is going in, I don't think they're looking back.

On a side note, I'm starting to notice how lazy the Zombie Strike color schemes are starting to look though. Everything is just green, but I must say that the molds and details in the shell still look nice. Right now the Survival System blasters look a lot more detailed.

This is a trend that's happening in other series as well. Elite 2.0 blasters have really nice shell details, but the paintjobs are very lackluster.
