So NERF decided to make a Flare Gun...

It's NERF. It's Fortnite. It's a Flare Gun. Weighing in at $15 or so in the US, the NERF Fortnite Flare is a reshell of the MEGA Bigshock or Talon, with the added gimmick of a breaking barrel... that functionally does nothing. Once again. Dang it, NERF. Still, it's comfy and looks cool; so it's probably worth it.

Fun Fact: Some brands of Flareguns are chambered for 12 gauge. Yes, it is literally possible to chamber a flare in a 12 gauge shotgun and actually shoot it. Just... don't do the reverse... a flaregun firing a 12 gauge short shell will cause the flaregun to explode like a 3D printed one-time ghost gun.

Because of their very specific "avoid real life firearm references wherever possible even if the blaster looks straight up like a SCAR" they couldn't really give it any other name lol. Not Flare Gun or Flare Pistol for the reason I just mentioned

[@smittzero8463]

They could have called it the FG, but then you'd have the FG, the DG. the HG and the HC. Maybe it would have been a better idea to come up with new names, rather than abbreviating the actual ones...

[@TheAlphaTeamPlays]

It’s because Fortnite Nerf guns are just named after their initials and then their rarity, so it’d just be “FG-R” which I guess isn’t the worst, but I feel like it makes sense to call it the Flare to tell you that it’s supposed to be a flare gun

I wonder... if we did a small adjustment to the inner barrel, like replace it with a piece of brass that's the exact diameter of a Mega Dart, can it shoot Mega XL? I mean, it looks like there's a lot of dead space in that faux break-barrel. Perhaps there's enough clearance for the BigBadBlues?

[@epicibu7963]

You could i think make it shoot the elite dart shells As the inner barrel could be made bigger, and it's possible to make it into a hammer action which also break action Like that shotgun which used shells? There are amazing possibilities for the mega flare

[@excelent8732]

Man if they would’ve included glow in the dark darts, that would be awesome!

[@Mstea0149]

Just buy them separately...

[@Mstea0149]

Or buy glow darts. Expensive but cool for in the dark shit. They've got hollow tips with a small light inside.

[@atomic...]

Watching this just makes me want a nerf x team fortress 2 crossover, this is like one of the few fortnite blasters that I would buy, you don't even have to much to turn it in to Pyro's stock flare gun or the detonator, it is a shame its not true break action.

[@ajthegameboi]

I approve of this comment nerf needs to do this

[@atomic...]

It would be cool if they did it, I do see that some guns would be difficult/impossible to make.

[@starcoreonline5592]

Don't really have to do much to make it a Scorch Shot either.

[@atomic...]

You wouldn't have to do much, but the scorch shot is evil so I wouldn't, the scorch shot is the best looking flare gun in TF2.

[@xXMordSchlagXx]

It shoots whistlers as well. Im pretty sure its on sale right now too, so I would but it now if you want it

[@ToxicAtom]

they could at least have made it hammer prime, so unlocking the barrel would be the same action as priming, simulating true break-action. But no, using already existent engineering wasn't an option I guess.

[@boid9761]

_clears throat, then inhale_ PYRO! GAMING!!

[@Mandalorian_Man]

I think it would be good for an inline clip mod. The break action would be used for reloding.

[@wadekirby8575]

I was thinking rear loaded inline clip or spring thunder shells.

[@shadowsa2b]

Break action without shells is a bit of a funny thing in the nerf hobby. Either you have a cosmetic barrel shroud (eg the Mega Tri-Break), or youd have to somehow insert the dart tip first into the barrel without it falling out, and then still have it able to seat the dart in front of the plunger tube; which...good luck with that. So unless its a shell blaster like the Sledgefire or something, i think a cosmetic break action is pretty much whats doable.

[@reeces.pieces3]

Barrel Break?

[@smittzero8463]

Nah. The reason why they do fake break action is so kids can't load random objects into the blaster. It's a safety thing rather than a function issue. You'd just need a tooth to pop up when you break open the blaster, to prevent you from pushing the dart too far forwards.

[@Mstea0149]

...Opinions are just that. Yours. Because opinions don't change facts.

[@beansdudes]

if nerf went the extra mile and made it hammer action it would be sold out everywhere

[@smittzero8463]

At least the fake break action could be fixed really easily this time, unlike with the Tricerablast and Tri-break. Just need a saw and a lot of putty. A custom barrel for either Sledgefire or Trilogy shells would be awesome but I guess it depends on how good the internals really are.

[@Mstea0149]

Fake? What's fake?

[@aightster6069]

Walcom do you agree that it should have not had a break action but it should have been a mega XL jolt

[@WalcomS7]

I mean...you have to see the size of the Big Rig and that thing is single shot front loading...

[@Seismitoad3]

Mega XL or demolisher missile would either make this or break this.

[@davitdavid7165]

You know how the leverage makes a lever action kinda sorta superior? Nerf can just make the barrels the lever. And they can thus make a mechanism, which when fitted with metal parts can work with huge springs. I think thats a good idea. Or maybe its part of the pro line and the allignment with the brass barrel is made perfect and the plunger and stuff is well done, imagine how much power they can fit in the small package.

[@smittzero8463]

Hasbro already made this blaster. You're literally describing the Sledgefire :P But I agree. They should make a new Sledgefire.

The best part about this blaster is it's function is exactly what my neighborhood friends used to use the magnus for back in the day since no one else really used mega back then.

[@Red_Panda-ze1zg]

[@sniclops15]

Honestly, if this could be modded to shoot normal sized rounds (maybe a smaller barrel) this could actually be a pretty good secondary. If you're doing a 1-shot gun party with some buds, this modded would probably perform better than the Knockout

[@Primal2229]

Well damn. Its stupid how something piddly and gimmicky like this snared my attention like it did while damn near nothing from Nerf in the last year has had me bothering to look online or in store. I can appreciate the doofy gimmick of this blaster and would grab it - if it were hammer primed and the barrel break feature was rear loading. I actually feel kind of feel Rick Rolled with this one. It looked great until finding out its a jolt reskin for an absurd price just because its fort nite.

[@abelq8008]
