TORNADO STRIKE





This is the first of the NERF / Super Soaker series water guns that I purchased. It has been a long time since I owned a Super Soaker as a kid.

When the first wave of these toys came out, the Tornado Strike immediately caught my attention. The thing that I like about this gun is that it looks like a CQB weapon.


 

The stock can be removed & interchanged with other NERF weapons. The Tornado Strike also comes with a rail system at the top for you to add on other accessories such as a laser pointer or the targeting cross-hair.






The stock can be extended back in various lengths to suit the comfort of your shoulder when firing the toy. Below the gun is the pump that works as the firing mechanism. Unlike other Super Soaker models that we used to play with, you don't have to pump the gun to store up the pressure before firing. 

If you look closer, there is no trigger to the gun. Each time you pump the gun, the weapon fires two spinning streams of water. The firing range of my Tornado Strike goes up to about 7 meters.






Here's the new way of reloading the Tornado Strike. The water is stored in what looks like your typical ammo clip. All you have to do is to slide the orange lever to pull the clip down. Then, you can remove the round cap at the front to fill it up with water. Each clip can store up to about 300ml of water.

I got hold of another clip separately. If you have a closer look. One side of the ammo clip comes with a belt clip for you to strap it onto your pants. Lastly I must say that this is an enjoyable piece of toy.
