The Flip Clip is a Nerf accessory that was released in 2009 under the N-Strike series.
It comes packaged in the Flip Clip Refill and cannot be purchased separately.
Details[]
The Flip Clip is a grey connecting device meant to make reloading easier and faster for clip system blasters. It connects two compatible clips together vertically by their bottoms; this makes it possible to remove the empty half, flip it over, and load the full half back in.
For some blasters, two connected clips can also serve as a foregrip of sorts to increase stability.
Disadvantages[]
One disadvantage is that the Flip Clip will make the clip longer and will thus reduce usability in certain situations. For example, if a Longshot CS-6 is equipped with a Flip Clip, the blaster will not be able to rest on its integrated bipod, so it is best used when standing. Flattened or damaged darts also tend to fall out of the bottom.
It is possible to fit two eighteen dart clips onto the Flip Clip. However, this configuration makes it extremely long and unwieldy, which increases the risk of knocking the clips out of the connector piece.
The Flip Clip is not compatible with any of the N-Strike Elite clips due to the shape of their base.
History[]
The N-Strike Flip Clip was succeeded in 2015 by the N-Strike Modulus Flip Clip. This updated version featured two twelve dart clips, along with a proprietary attachment piece that can only be used on the included clips.
Trivia[]
- Without modification, it is impossible to use the Flip Clip with any type of drum.
- If one has two Flip Clips, it is possible to tape them together, thus having four clips at their disposal. However, the second vertical clip may get in the way of the priming slide when using some blasters.
