The Gear Tooth Arrow is a type of Nerf arrow that was released in 1998 under the Mega Blitz series.

One comes packaged with the Triple Torch and cannot be purchased separately.

Details

Gear Tooth Arrows are the shortest type of arrow; they are almost the same length as Micro Arrows and missiles. It gets its name from the fact that its fins are uniquely shaped like gears.

While Gear Tooth Arrows fire very hard on most arrow blasters, it fits very loosely onto the Triple Torch, making it underperform on it, compared to other arrow types. This is due to the arrow having two inner diameters, the smaller of sitting too deep into the arrow for the Triple Torch's barrel to reach.

History

Despite its patron blaster selling well enough to be listed as a "Perennial Best-seller" in 2000, the arrow itself has become extremely difficult to find, possibly due to its flawed design.

The subsequent year, Screamin' Arrows were introduced with the Triple Strike, which may serve as a successor of sorts to Gear Tooth Arrows.

Trivia

• Gear Tooth Arrows appear far more like a wider missile than an actual arrow.
