- 6 Elite Darts

Details[]
The ChronoBarrel is a detachable barrel extension that can track darts as they are fired from the blaster it is attached to. This can be used to track remaining ammunition in the blaster or the speed at which darts are fired, both of which are read out on an LCD screen.
There is a single tactical rail underneath the ChronoBarrel.
Tracking darts[]
Tracking remaining ammo is done by first setting the number of darts loaded with the use of the accessory's buttons. Every time a dart is fired, the ammo count goes down by one. When the ammunition count reaches zero and a new dart is fired, the counter resets to the initial ammunition count (minus one) as it assumes the blaster has been reloaded. Of course, prematurely reloading or using a different capacity clip from what has been set will interfere with the ammunition count if not set manually. The ChronoBarrel can also be set to count up, adding one to the counter every time a dart is fired.
Fired darts, when their speed is tracked, are read out in either feet per second (FPS) or meters per second (m/s). Only darts shot at certain speeds will trigger the counter and chronograph. If a dart is shot too slowly or is manually pushed/dropped through the ChronoBarrel, it won't be counted.
When using half-length darts, such as Stefans, the chronograph function is unreliable. As it uses the length of Elite Darts as a standard to determine how fast the darts are going, the shown result will be roughly double of the real one.[citation needed]

The Modulus Ghost Ops ChronoBarrel accessory counts darts as battlers fire darts from their Nerf Modulus Ghost Ops Evader blaster (sold separately). Attach it the front of the blaster, then select to program the barrel to see how many darts have already been fired or the number of darts remaining in the blaster. The ChronoBarrel accessory also measures the velocity of the darts being fired in either feet or meters per second. Built-in memory also remembers the last number of darts set in the count-down mode. It comes with 6 darts. The barrel and is also compatible with other Nerf Modulus blasters. Nerf Modulus Ghost Ops battlers can upgrade their blaster with the Ghost Ops ChronoBarrel accessory to keep track of their darts and dart velocity! (Blasters each sold separately.) |
History[]
The ChronoBarrel was first announced at the 2018 Toy Fair.
Trivia[]
- The plastic that is used in it is noticeably clearer than what was used for other translucent products, such as the Clear Series blasters.
- A clip can be stored on the barrel by the section just above the tactical rail.
- The barrel bears resemblance to the Recon MKII barrel extension, albeit with additional electronic components. Similarities include their comparable form factor, the presence of a tactical rail on the bottom, and a front iron sight, although the ChronoBarrel's sight has a thinner post and features a screen behind it.
