Expand-a-Blast

The Expand-a-Blast is a Nerf blaster that was released in 1998 under the Hyper Sight series.

It comes packaged with six Mega Darts.

Details
The Expand-a-Blast is a single-fire blaster with a unique gimmick: when its black handle is pulled downwards, it will cause the blaster's barrel to extend and a shoulder stock to pop out the back. It also features an integrated scope that has five dart holders built into it.

Trivia

 * The unique expansion function of the Expand-a-Blast would not return again until the Deploy CS-6 was released under the N-Strike series in 2009.
 * In the TV commercial, the blaster is seen firing "signature" red Micro Darts despite it only being able to fire Mega Darts.
 * The scope has transparent plastic at both ends that is tinted orange to such a degree that it can barely be seen through.
 * The barrel and stock are sprung to extend outward, so folding the front handle upwards doesn't do anything except re-engage the catches; the barrel has to be manually pushed back in and the stock has to be manually folded back in.
