Elite XD (or Mega XD) is a blaster performance feature within the N-Strike Elite, N-Strike Mega, and N-Strike series.
Details[]
Blasters equipped with Elite XD are claimed to feature more powerful internals, which supposedly boost firing range up to ninety or eighty-five feet (twenty-seven or twenty-five meters in Europe) depending on the blaster.
Hasbro's performance claims are however, not true, as blasters re-released in 2014 to be Elite XD blasters feature little or no boost in firing ranges.[1]
The Elite XD firing range claims have become the standard firing range claims for all Nerf blasters that were released in 2016 and 2017.
History[]
Elite XD was introduced in 2014. Every new blaster released under the N-Strike Elite series that year was advertised as having a performance boost compared to previous blasters; re-releases of older blasters with supposedly upgraded internals also came out that year. However, the re-releases were tested and found not to feature performance boosts.[1]
Most modern blasters do away with the XD range claim, although the ninety feet/twenty-seven meters range claims remained.
