The Triad EX-3 is an external mechanism Nerf blaster that was released in 2013 under the N-Strike Elite series.
Included contents[]
- 1 Triad EX-3
- 3 Elite Darts
Details[]
The Triad EX-3 is a direct-prime-action blaster able to hold up to three darts at a time in its three triangularly-placed barrels. It features the use of intelligent air restrictors, allowing a single dart to fire out of either of the three barrels. When all three barrels are loaded, the blaster will fire clockwise starting from the bottom barrel.
A small set of iron sights are located on top of the blaster.
Streamline Darts do not work with the Triad.[citation needed]
Due to how the air restrictors work in the Triad, loading darts in can cause others to pop out.[citation needed]

Put some serious blasting power in your pocket with the TRIAD EX-3 blaster! Don’t let this 3-dart blaster’s micro size fool you – it’s small but mighty, with the same long-range power as other N-STRIKE Elite blasters (sold separately). Its smart technology tells it which barrel is loaded so you can fire it with confidence. And its small size lets you conceal the blaster in the palm of your hand or a pocket, then draw fast for the element of surprise! Pull down the cocking handle to ready your shot, then fire when it’s time to take down your target! Includes blaster and 3 Elite darts. |
History[]
Though this blaster was originally thought to be a successor to the Jolt EX-1, as they both use the same number code, the Triad is almost twice as big.
It was re-released with Elite XD internals with a white, grey, and black color scheme; this re-release was shown off at the 2014 New York Toy Fair.
Some Triads came packaged with three special edition Elite Darts instead of regular blue Elite Darts.[citation needed]
Color schemes[]
The Triad has been released with the following color schemes:
- N-Strike Elite (blue, white, black, gray, and orange)
- Elite XD (white, blue, and orange)
Value packs[]
The Triad EX-3 2-Pack includes two Triad blasters and fifteen Elite Darts.
There is a special value pack of the Triad, which includes four blasters and twelve Elite Darts.[citation needed]
Trivia[]
- "Triad" means "group of three".
