Details[]
The Rhino-Fire is a battery-operated flywheel clip system blaster that features the ability to use two clips or drums at a time. It has two barrels which alternately fire. The barrels also collapse one after another when firing. The Rhino-Fire has electronic locks that will only allow the blaster to fire if two clips or drums are inserted.
The bottom of the blaster features an attachment lug for mounting tripods. This lug is compatible with its included tripod, and can also accept the Vulcan tripod. The blaster also has two strap points at the start of each barrel. The clip release is located on the back of each clip well, similar to those found on a Rampage or Raider CS-35.
The firing trigger is in the form of a large, orange button on the top of the spade grip located at the back of the blaster. The button doubles as an acceleration trigger, where pushing it halfway will rev up the flywheels, while holding it down all the way will actually fire darts.
It features four tactical rails on top of the blaster: one tactical rail on each of the clip wells, and two in the middle of the blaster. The two rails in the middle have been merged into a single rail, which has two rail teeth. As a result, it can hold two different attachments as long as said attachments do not interfere with each other. The Rhino-Fire is one of the few blasters to feature a rail like this.
It is advertising a firing range of up to ninety feet (twenty-seven meters).

History[]
The Rhino-Fire released as a Walmart exclusive during the 2014 holiday season in the United States.
It may be intended as a spiritual successor to the Vulcan EBF-25 as both blasters feature tripods and high dart capacity.
The Rhino-Fire was spiritually succeeded by the N-Strike Elite Titan CS-50. This is evident from the moving barrel and fifty dart capacity.
Color schemes[]
The Rhino-Fire has been released with the following color schemes:
- White, blue, black, silver, and orange
- Blue, white, black, silver, and orange
Blaster sets[]
A Costco-exclusive[citation needed] value pack was released for the Rhino-Fire in winter of 2015, packaged with two extra twenty-five dart drums, fifty extra darts, and six demo "D" batteries. The Rhino-Fire included in this pack is the blue variant; this is the only way to obtain the blue Rhino-Fire.
Trivia[]
- On some versions of the packaging, the blaster appears to have tactical rails on the sides of the barrels.
- Using two fifty dart drums, the blaster can hold and fire up to one hundred darts.
- Interestingly, the UK retailer Argos denotes it as the Rhinostrike.
