Details[]
The FlipFury is a revolver-style blaster that features two six-dart cylinders. They can be "flipped" between, allowing the user to fire from both cylinders at will[1], with the use of the bottom-most trigger, below the firing trigger. Its priming mechanism is similar to that of the N-Strike Elite Strongarm. It has the ability to slam fire, although this feature is not directly advertised.
It features a tactical rail above the muzzle, as well as three strap points, one built into the priming slide, one built into the grip, and one built into the bottom front end of the blaster.
Some FlipFury blasters have issues with their cylinder-flipping feature jamming up. This issue is similar to the flipping issues with the Elite 2.0 Flipshots blasters.

|---|
When you're the only thing that stands between humanity and a horde of zombies, you can't afford to waste time reloading. With twin rotating drums that hold 6 Zombie Strike darts each, the Nerf Zombie Strike Flipfury blaster lets you fire 12 darts before reloading. After you unleash 6 darts from the top drum, pull the secondary trigger to flip drums and keep blasting. Stop the undead in their tracks and make sure no zombie gets past you! |
History[]
The FlipFury was leaked alongside seven other blasters on September 1, 2014 by Nerf blog Urban Taggers. Within a short period of time, a representative of Hasbro had the photo blocked from viewing on several sites. The German site Bankroft.de released stock images of the blaster, which were spotted on October 27, 2014.[2]
The FlipFury was officially announced on October 31, 2014, on the official Nerf Facebook page.[1]
Trivia[]
- The FlipFury is very similar to the X-Shot Xcess. Released three years earlier in 2012, the Xcess features the same barrel-flipping ability, with two dart cylinders and a total capacity of twelve darts.
- The FlipFury may have been inspired by a popular Maverick REV-6 and Strongarm modification, where multiple rotating cylinders are attached to the blaster to increase its capacity, and advanced whenever the current cylinder is empty.
- Due to the cylinder design, damaged or old darts will fire poorly from the FlipFury.
