NERF Vortex needs to come back.

NERF Vortex was a thing before NERF Elite that had superior range and power compared to NERF N-Strike. It was the stop gap for what NERF was moving towards, and the Nitron was the peak. Featuring a 20 Round magazine and Fully Automatic Fire, the NERF Vortex Nitron had surprisingly good suppressive fire capabilities that isn't touched on in Modern Nerf that could still have a real tactical use in a variety of games. Also, it's just plain fun.

This is DAY 15 of TAGBAXMAS 2022!

There's nothing I love more than being the local "Vortex guy". People always get a kick out of my Nitron when I'm throwing a wall of discs that hit nothing 😂

[pigfish]

Another Perk about the vortex disks is that they just floated in the air for the longest time, meaning that they remained a threat for much longer. remember, as long as its in the air, and not touching the ground, its still live!

a well paced nitron or pyragon can turn an area into a proverbial floating minefield, which proves walcom's point of supressive fire perfectly. The fact that they had a natural, predictable curve also meant that you could at least predict where a disk would go.

I'm surprised nobody has made a 3D printed blaster for vortex yet, although to be fair, vortex disks are uncommon...

[anvecom]

just a note on the stock length: 11-year-old me found this to be an absolute monster to wield. But the thing stomped all the other blasters I had at the time, making it a toss-up as to whether or not I'd use it. (Actually I think I just used my Praxis instead with the Nitron's mag because the Nitron inhaled ammo lol)

[Riverfrog]

If dartzone wants to make disc blasters, I'm all for it

[plootyluvsturtle]

i love how much walcom embraces his nerdness and i love him for it

[notnuffnerf]

Maybe if we all call for this in cumulative unison, Hasbro will listen. Bring back Vortex! 🥏💥🔫

[ShellingtonLabs]

I'm loving all the energy in these videos lately. Keep it up.

The constant rotation of the shots do make me a little dizzy, but I understand.

[fasthippy]

boomco and now vortex... your killing me sir. I will continue to be that guy at the borst wars running boomco and vortex. A+!

[Jarekthegamingdragon]

Man I miss disc launchers. They were pretty big in my school in the early-mid 2000's. To the point of the school banning them LOL. I've got some chinese full auto disc shooters in the mail that I ordered purely for nostalgia purposes.

[botsnblasters]

Vortex is my absolute favorite line! I'm glad you covered it and you'd be surprised just how effective they can be for indoor arena play!

[johnhernandez]

Definitely loved the vortex line, being 1 of the few blasters I owned, the single shot blaster was tons of fun especially with the ricochet disc. Hope I can get a nitron one day and mod it to shoot like the boom version

[MGlBlaze]

The Nitron was a lot of fun, and its magazines had a much smaller cross sectional area which makes them a little easier to carry. I had a project where I was going to combine a nitron and a rapidstrike, but never really finished it. I do have a separate nitron converted for LiPo, though, with the jam lever switch thing on the top converted to a semi/full auto fire mode selector.
On the subject of vortex, I remember an old video of yours from years ago that sold me on the Diatron. Also a very nifty blaster.

[TeltaMan]

It was so cool when Walcom said "it's discin' time" and disced all over the place

[ThezxcIII]

Because they were disks, there were so many cool tricks you could do by just aiming the blaster at a different angle so the discs curve, or shoot it at 90 degrees to make it aggressively accurate, or bounce disks off walls to hit people behind corners.

[turnersawman]

What's fun about vortex is you can get glow disc. Just something cool about the disc floating out there in the dark.

[atomic...]

I never had vortex when I was younger but damn did the blasters look sick. I should probably track a vortex blaster down, along with some other nerf blasters I missed out on.

[sambrown]

I remember the first time one of my friends showed up with this thing. He had the 20-rounder in the stock, and a Pyragon drum loaded. He wrecked us all (multiple times) and we had to ban him using the Nitron with the Pyragon drum, though he could still use them separately. I will say though, seeing him holding the drum in place with a strip of duct tape was quite funny.

[ItzGiooo]

The sound of the spring in the mag clinging around is so nostalgic

[gabrielandersen]

I enjoy your 'gush about cool blaster' vids. Like, it doesn't have to be the best just seeing you enjoy whatever blaster you're talking about is a treat

[OakCityGamers]

I love this blaster! And the fusefire, the potential of this ammo type for game play is so huge!
