Included contents[]
- 1 SurgeFire
- 15 Elite Darts
Details[]
The SurgeFire is a pump-action blaster that features a fifteen-dart rotating drum. It features the ability to be slam fired.[2] There is a single tactical rail atop the blaster, as well as three strap points: one above the muzzle, one built into the trigger grip, and one above the blaster.
The slam fire mechanism works mechanically different than other blasters such as the Rampage. The trigger is connected to a sear catch that catches the plunger rod. If the blaster catches while the trigger is still held down, the blaster will fire when the priming handle is forward, even if the trigger is released.
The drum can be removed by inserting a thin object into a hole on the drum housing; it is not intended to be swapped out like a drum clip, however.
It advertises a firing range of up to ninety feet (twenty-seven meters).

History[]
The SurgeFire was leaked in summer 2017, alongside the Mediator.[3] It was then announced at Hascon 2017.
The blaster was given a soft release in Malaysia sometime in November.[4]
Modification[]
The SurgeFire can potentially use 3D printed or aftermarket drums, in place of the one it is packaged with, if the drums match the dimensions of the original.[5] No 3D printed drums currently exist, however.
Trivia[]
- When slam firing, priming the priming handle too fast will skip a dart, and require another shot to shoot the dart.
- Pulling back the priming handle slightly will allow the Surgefire's drum to be more easily spun.
- It bears a resemblance to the 2015 N-Strike Mega RotoFury, with its main differences being that it fires Elite Darts and has a larger capacity.
- The Elite 2.0 Shockwave RD-15 could be considered its successor, since it has a similar pump-grip priming mechanism and the same drum capacity. The Shockwave, however, can take both barrel attachments and stocks, and has different rail placement.
- The SurgeFire's drum rotates counter-clockwise, while most blasters have their cylinder or drum rotate clockwise.
