Not to be confused with Elite Missiles or Mega Missiles.

A missile is a type of Nerf ammunition that was released in 1992.

Details

Missiles feature a short body and three fins at the end, which help with aerodynamics when fired through the air. As such, they are capable of being fired at long range and having high accuracy; performance will take a sharp drop if the fins are damaged, however.

Because of this appearance, they can be easily mistaken for arrows; missiles are shorter than the 9" arrow.

The inner diameter of missiles are 0.375" wide. The fins are 2" long, 0.75" wide, and 0.09" thick.

History

The first Nerf blasters to feature missiles were the 1992 Missilestorm and NB-1 Missile Blaster.

The only true sub-variant of missiles was the Aero Glider, released in 1996 and discontinued shortly thereafter.

Nerf would go on to release further missile types. This included the Gyro Strike Gyro Missile, the Big Bad Titan Mega Missile, and the N-Strike Elite Elite Missile, all of which featured varied appearances and performance differences.

Trivia

• A number of other brands and companies have their own missile types; many of these, including the Buzz Bee missile, feature appearances and performance not similar to the Nerf missile.
  • Larami had their own missile ammunition for use with the SuperMAXX 1500 Rapid-Fire Missile Blaster.
  • Several Lanard Total X-Stream Air blasters feature the use of Missile Darts, which are far more missile in nature than dart.
• Any missile-compatible blaster can also fire any Mega Dart as well, with the exception of Sharpshooter Darts.
