Details[]
The Needler is a fully-automatic blaster with a ten-dart turret, similar to the Dart Tag Speedswarm. Its design is based on the Type-56 Needler from the Halo video games.
It features a series of integrated lights that turn on when the blaster is held; these lights can also be turned on manually for display purposes and will stay on for two hours at a time. The needles sticking out of the top of the blaster act as an ammo counter, and less of them glow depending on how many darts are loaded into the Needler.
Similarly to other Nerf LMTD blasters, the box doubles as a display case.
