The RipChord is a Nerf blaster that was released in 1998 under the Mega Blitz series.
Included contents[]
- 1 RipChord
- 5 Micro Darts
Details[]
The RipChord is a fully-automatic blaster with an unconventional firing mechanism. Instead of a firing trigger or a standard priming mechanism, it features a plastic cord threaded through its internals. This cord has two ends, one coming out of the grip and one coming out of the back of the blaster; spaced out on the cord itself are several bumps. Pulling back on the cord will fire off darts, as the bumps on the cord actuate the firing mechanism.
It features a five-dart turret; an iron sight sits above the turret.
History[]
A yellow RipChord appeared in 2000 product catalogs, but has never shown up in physical form.
Alongside the Triple Torch, it is the only Mega Blitz blaster to not have a confirmed update to their packaging in 1998. It also was never given a re-release with updated Nerf logo stickers matching the logo change in 1998.
Color schemes[]
The RipChord has been released with the following color schemes:
- Blue and orange
- 2000 catalog (yellow, blue, and orange)
Trivia[]
- Images of the RipChord with a red cord rather than a black one can be found in catalog listings, as well as on the packaging for the blaster itself. However, this version of the blaster was never released.
- Some RipChord blasters are made with brittle plastic, causing some units to shatter internally.[citation needed] Strangely, this is caused by the plastic being too dense, rather than being too cheap or flimsy.[citation needed] The internals, however, are not affected by this issue.
- Despite being a Kenner blaster, there is no visible copyright printed anywhere on the RipChord.[citation needed]
