Details
The Mad Hornet is an air-powered blaster. It slightly resembles a hornet to keep in the theme with the Max Force blasters. It uses air pressure and is pumped with the pump at the front of the blaster. There is a space at the front of the blaster for a hand to rest. It has a six-dart rotating turret.

History
It was Nerf's first air-powered blaster to feature a firing trigger.

It was initially planned for a 1996 release, appearing in 1996 catalogs. However, it was delayed until a 1997 release because of a safety issue with the Sting Meter on the blaster, which could cause injuries if it came in contact with soft or sensitive body parts such as eyes.

Later in 1997, it was re-released under the Max Force 2112 line.
