High-Capacity Blasting with Slam-Fire Speed and Tactical Style
Get ready for serious dart-blasting fun with the NERF Elite 2.0 Shockwave RD-15 Blaster – a heavy-hitting foam blaster built for long games and non-stop action. This blaster features a 15-dart rotating drum, a pump-action priming handle, and slam-fire capability, giving kids the tools to dominate any Nerf battle.
The 30 Nerf Elite darts included mean you can load the drum and keep a full reload nearby – no need to pause the action. Fire one dart at a time for precise targeting, or activate slam-fire mode by holding down the trigger while pumping the handle rapidly to unleash a stream of foam fury.
With built-in tactical rails, the Shockwave RD-15 is also customisation-ready. Kids can add Nerf accessories (sold separately) like scopes, barrels, or lights to upgrade their blaster’s performance or style.
Whether you’re staging backyard battles, outdoor target games, or team challenges, the Shockwave offers power, control, and versatility that keeps the action going strong.
What the Product Is Used For
Designed for outdoor Nerf battles, tactical games, and high-capacity foam dart play. It’s ideal for kids who want longer battles without constant reloading and enjoy high-action, slam-fire gameplay.
