Nerf’s Rival Curve Shot lets you explode around corners

Nerf fans will need to find themselves better cover if they are to avoid being tagged by the toymaker’s latest blasters. The Rival Curve Shot line, which Hasbro will unveil on Tuesday, lets you shoot around corners – much like the 2008 movie Wanted.

Each of the three new blasters can also fire foam dart fire up, down, left or right, so you can surprise your opponents from any angle. You turn the rotating muzzle to choose whether you want the turn to go right, left, right, or down.

The Flex XXI-100, which costs $ 15, comes with five towers and holds one at a time. The $ 25 Sideswipe XXI-1200 has an internal 12-shot side-loading magazine and a primer bolt that can be attached to either side for both right and left-handed fighters. Both will be available from March 1.

For those who prefer a large capacity blaster, the large Helix XXI-2000 includes an easy-load hopper for quick reloading, and it comes with 20 rounds. It will set you back $ 30 and will be available exclusively at Target starting August 1.

Since a dart can come from any angle, Hasbro also suggests that you use goggles while playing with them.
