- 2 Elite Shells
- 6 Elite Darts
Details[]
The ShellStrike DS-6 is a slide-action shell-loaded blaster that fires three darts at a time. Shells are loaded into a breech, opened up by pushing an button near the firing trigger. Unlike other shell-loaded blasters, the ShellStrike does not automatically eject shells when the breech is opened.
Two additional shells can be stored below the breech area. Built into the blaster's shell and breech system is a long iron sight. A tactical rail is located on the underside of the ShellStrike.
Due to the way the shell sits in the breech, with its dart barrels exposed forward, and the slide-action priming mechanism separate from the break-away function, the ShellStrike can be treated as a muzzle-loading blaster without needing to eject the shell.
Interestingly, the gray trigger variant does not appear to have weakened performance[citation needed].

It comes with 6 Official Nerf Elite darts and 2 shells that each can hold up to 3 darts. You can store 2 shells on the blaster, keeping them close by to reload quickly. Remove the empty shell, load a full one, and keep on playing! This Nerf Elite blaster is a great size for indoor and outdoor Nerf games, and the soft darts make it fun for everyone to play. Official Nerf darts are tested and approved for performance and quality and constructed of foam with flexible, hollow tips. Eyewear recommended (not included). |

- This is the last official Nerf blaster released under the N-Strike Elite line before the launch of Elite 2.0
