As the first motorized Nerf MEGA blaster, this 24-dart delivering dominator features a gnarly rotating drum. That’s why the rarity and nostalgia factor make a boxed version of this pelting pioneer a prize among purists. There are two strap points, one in front of the top tactical rail and one at the end of the blaster, which the packaged shoulder strap can be clipped onto. It features the use of a carry handle; it has three tactical rails: two long ones on top of the blaster and a short one below, in front of the cylinder.

My son, however, needs the shoulder strap to carry the Mastodon for any length of time, which means he can’t hold it as far in front of him as I do.
