The Quick 16 is a Nerf blaster that was released in 2011 under the Dart Tag series.

- 1 Quick 16
- 16 Tagger Micro Whistler Darts
- Instructions
Details[]
The Quick 16 is a pump-action blaster with an integrated sixteen-dart clip. Darts load through a porthole on the left side of the blaster. There is a single strap point located on the end of its trigger grip.
Despite looking like it is compatible with detachable shoulder stocks, it is not.
Problems[]
While some Sonic Micro Darts and X-Shot Excel Darts will work in the Quick 16, Streamline Darts, Micro Darts, and Elite Darts will frequently jam in the curved part of the internal clip. This is mainly because the retainer inside the clip is specifically designed for Tagger Micro Darts, whose heads are wider than their body.
If a dart is jammed, it is usually when loading a dart into the clip. The back will usually get jammed between the door and the edge of the clip. This will damage the darts and sometimes the only way to get the dart out is to remove the part of the dart above the door, the part that is blocking the dart from loading properly.

When your opponent is in sight, grab your QUICK 16 blaster and send your DART TAG darts flying — they’ll even whistle as they fly. Blast your way to victory! |
Modification[]
Modification to this blaster is slightly difficult due to the extra plastic on the blaster; this may have been done on purpose by Nerf and Hasbro to keep people from modifying blasters used in the Nerf Dart Tag League.
It utilizes a reverse plunger system, which is disliked by the modding community due to lack of efficiency and performance. However, with some modification, such as air restrictor removal, its firing range can be increased to about forty-five feet (thirteen meters).
Trivia[]
- In the instruction manual, "slam fire" is referred to as "rapid fire". The box art also only advertises "rapid fire".
- Around its initial release, some Nerf fans referred to the Quick 16 as the "Banana Clip Blaster", due to its integrated clip resembling a banana clip.
- The Quick 16's clip curves in a different direction than the clip system banana clip.
- This, the Snapfire 8, and the Stinger are the only three post-2011 Dart Tag blasters that were not re-released with a blue trigger.
- Similar to the Speedload 6, the Quick 16 can technically hold up to seventeen rounds if it has a full clip with an additional dart in the chamber.
- Unlike most other Dart Tag blasters, the Quick 16 was not released in the United Kingdom.[citation needed]
