Details[]
The Vigilon is a slide-action disc blaster with an integrated five-disc magazine. A release lever, located on either side of the blaster, opens the loading port up. An iron sight sits on the end of the blaster, on the priming slide.
Above the muzzle is a tactical rail. A strap point is built into the blaster's grip.

Having enough ammo on hand can mean the difference between winning and losing when it comes to NERF blaster missions. The VORTEX VIGILON disc blaster holds up to 5 long-range discs, and its built-in clip drops down at the touch of a button. Simply release the clip, reload your discs and reengage the clip for minimum rearming time and maximum blasting action! |
Color schemes[]
The Vigilon has been released with the following color schemes:
- Vortex (green, black, gray, and orange)
- Vortex re-release (white, dark red, black, gray, and orange)
- Sonic Series (clear green and orange)
- Vortex VTX (blue, green, gray, black, and orange)
Modifications[]
Due to the complex internals of the Vigilon, there are only a few modifications that can be done. It is possible to set the torsion spring to a tighter position or to replace it with a newer, more powerful spring. Another modification that is done somewhat commonly is removing safety features within the blaster. Though not a performance enhancing modification, the ring at the bottom of the handle is a removable, redundant piece.
Value packs[]
The Vigilon has so far been released in two value packs: a "Double Your Discs" value pack, which included ten XLR discs, and the Vigilon & Praxis Set.
Trivia[]
- The name Vigilon could be derived from the English verb "vigilant", which is in itself derived from the Latin verb "vigilare" and its first person conjugation, "vigilo", which means "I watch".
- Though not intended, a sixth disc can be loaded into the blaster by simply pushing down the feeding mechanism until it clicks.
- By priming the blaster and then performing this action, the blaster can have a total capacity of seven discs: one in the chamber, and six in the magazine.
- It is possible to make the Vigilon fire two discs at once. This is achieved by pulling the disc release mechanism on the right side of the barrel with a disc loaded, then priming the blaster again whilst keeping the original disc from falling out.
