The Nerf Fortnite GL blaster is inspired by the one used in Fortnite, replicating the look of the one from the popular video game. The GL blaster fires big foam Nerf rockets for big battling action! It has a rotating drum that holds up to 6 rockets and fires 1 rocket at a time as you manually move the handle. Push the handle all the way forward -- the drum rotates to place a rocket in firing position. Pull the handle all the way back to launch the rocket at your target. To blast another rocket, move the handle forward and backward again. Includes 6 Official Nerf rockets, enough to fully load the drum. Take on the competition with the big, bold firepower of the Nerf Fortnite GL blaster! Eyewear recommended (not included). |
History[]
The GL was first announced at the 2020 New York Toy Fair.
Trivia[]
- The GL is the first repeating, cylinder-fed HAMP blaster, and the first missile blaster that has a firing capacity of more than one missile.
- GL stands for "Grenade Launcher".
- Despite its color scheme, it does not belong to the "Legendary" rarity.
- Although not intended as such, the front panel that covers the cylinder can be removed, which exposes the chambers for easier reloading.
