Included contents[]
Details[]
The Mega ThunderBow is a bow-style blaster that lacks a firing trigger. Unlike other bow-like Nerf blasters that feature faux bow strings attached to a plunger system, the Mega ThunderBow has its bow arms attached to its plunger system.[1] There is an indicator on the back of the blaster which turns green when the string is pulled back all the way.
Interestingly, compared to the N-Strike Blazin' Bow and Rebelle Heartbreaker Bow, the Mega ThunderBow does not require the string to be released like a conventional bow, the string can be slowly moved forward and the plunger will be released at about the same strength as if the user had released the bow string normally. This in turn creates a pseudo-slam fire effect by pulling the string back and forth to increase the rate of fire. This is because the mechanism is only the bow arms moving back and forth.
It advertises a firing range of up to a hundred feet (thirty meters).[3]

Experience realistic bow action with the Nerf N-Strike Elite Mega ThunderBow blaster. Pull back the string and release it to launch the Mega darts through the air, using the same action you use for a real bow. The black bow arms on this red and orange Nerf bow flex as you pull the string, adding to look and feel of a real archer's bow. Blast into realistic archery action and adventure with the first Nerf Mega bow! |
