Alpha Strike is a series of Nerf blasters that was released in 2019.
Details[]
The Alpha Strike series features products intended to be sold inexpensively in order to make Nerf accessible to everyone.
Unlike other series, most Alpha Strike blasters do not feature any sort of accessory attachment points, such as tactical rails, stock attachment points, or barrel extension points. Alpha Strike blasters with accessories such as scopes and shoulder stocks are integrated into the shell and cannot be removed. All of the blasters in this series have been designed to have extremely simple operation, with a limited number of moving parts.
History[]
The Alpha Strike series was leaked online in January of 2019. It was later found on shelves in stores in Hong Kong, and subsequently on British toy websites.
Criticism[]
Initially, Alpha Strike blasters featured skeletonized grips, which were criticized for being uncomfortable. Later releases changed this design to be solid black, in order to make it more comfortable.
The series has also been criticized for its build quality. Most blasters are assembled with plastic tabs; no screws are used externally in order to reduce cost. The plastic has also been reported to be lighter and lower quality than other Nerf blasters.[1] While Alpha Strike was intended to be a "budget" series of Nerf blasters, many have pointed out that other companies such as Buzz Bee and X-Shot make blasters of similar price and plastic quality, often with higher performance.
