Details

Like other newer Dart Tag blasters, the Snapfire does not feature a tactical rail or any support for use with barrel extensions or detachable shoulder stocks. It is very similar in appearance to the Speedswarm and the Swarmfire.

The Snapfire features a knob on the bottom of the blaster's handle that allows the user to slightly adjust the blaster's spring length, changing the power of the plunger. The side of the handle has a small indicator to show how far it's been adjusted. One end of the scale is Speed, where the spring is more slack, which allows the trigger to be pulled more easily but decreases the range. The other end is Power, where the spring is given additional tension, making the trigger more difficult to pull but shooting the dart further. The dial can also be adjusted to a point between the two.

History

The Snapfire was released July 3, 2012 in Singapore and some European countries. It was released in the United States on February 22, 2013.

Trivia

This is the first blaster to use dual-action priming. The second blaster to use dual-action priming is the Nerf Super Soaker DartFire, the third is the Alien Menace Voidcaster, and the fourth is the Survival System Nailbiter.

This, the Stinger and the Quick 16 are the only three modern Dart Tag blasters that were not released with a blue trigger.
