Harpoon Crossbow

❌ The Harpoon Crossbow is a Nerf blaster that would have been released around 1992 under the Hydro series.

It would have likely come packaged with three Hydro Torpedoes.

Details
The Harpoon Crossbow is a rather large blaster, judging from the only known photograph on the internet. It would have been the first to come with a built-in shoulder stock, and bears a very strong resemblance to the 1995 Nerf Action Crossbow, with which it partially shares its moniker.

An ammunition storage area would have been located at the bottom of the blaster, where two extra Hydro Torpedoes could be stored. Bow arms and strings are located above the ammunition storage area.

History
The blaster was cancelled for unknown reasons, although its ammunition later surfaced as a refill pack.

All the information known about the blaster comes from a photo of the blaster on either the back of the Hydro Bazooka's packaging.

Reloading and firing
To reload the Harpoon Crossbow, one would have had to insert the Hydro Torpedo onto the front of the blaster, carefully sliding the Hydro Torpedo into the proper position. Unfortunately, due to lack of information, the firing mechanism of the Harpoon Crossbow is unknown. The blaster is speculated to be either a spring-powered blaster or powered by the string.

Pulling the trigger would have either released the string or the spring in order to fire the Hydro Torpedo.

Trivia

 * This would have been the only blaster released to come packaged with Hydro Torpedoes, which were later released packaged on their own in a refill pack.
