Counter Strike

The Counter Strike is a Nerf blaster that may have been released in 2000.

It would have likely come packaged with two missiles.

Details
The Counter Strike is a small blaster judging from the only known photograph on the internet.

The blaster features an incredibly thin handle and storage for one missile on the top. It is air-powered similar to early Rip Rockets blasters, being a pull-and-push type blaster.

The Counter Strike is notable, as it was the last known blaster to fire missiles. The firing mechanism may have had the ability to rotate in several directions.

History
The Counter Strike's eventual fate is unknown. From what is known, it never surfaced outside of pictures, although it could have possibly had a minor release.

All the information known about the blaster comes from a photo of the blaster from a 2000 Hasbro toy catalog. The Counter Strike was pictured alongside the Bungee Blaster and the Double Blast, which has been more well-known although still an immensely rare blaster. Because of this, it is more likely it had a minor release than being cancelled entirely.

Reloading and firing
To reload the Counter Strike, simply place one missile over the barrel post of the blaster. Pull the firing mechanism back until it cannot extend back any further.

Push the firing handle forward to fire the missile.

Trivia

 * The missiles seen with the blaster in its only known photo are unusually damaged for a Hasbro stock photo, suggesting that they were used on very short notice.
 * The official release date is unknown, although it appeared in the 2000 catalog alongside the Bungee Blaster, which had a 2000 release. Because of this, it most likely had a 2000 release as well.
