There is a hammer release that you can reach with your thumb for the break-action barrel. The ammo storage area lets you snap in all 3 of your included shells, for quick loading. It has ammo storage near the butt of the stock. The shoulder stock is nice and comfortable. The gun has a really functional design also. It’s pretty unique and it works really well. Instead of all green and orange, this blaster is powder blue and orange. Most Zombie Strike weapons are green with orange. The Nerf Sledgefire also features a unique color scheme. The Nerf Sledgefire has it’s break-action shell-loaded thing. That one had the lever-action Terminator 2 thing going for it. That’s a title that the Nerf Slingfire previously held. This may in fact be the coolest shotgun on the Nerf lineup. Then, you close it back and it’s locked and loaded and ready to go. This blaster has a break action design whereby you “break” the blaster in half to load it. You load the darts into the shell and then the shell into the blaster. The Sledgefire comes with 3 shells and they hold 3 darts in each shell. The Nerf Sledgefire is a shell-loaded, break-action, shotgun type blaster. Enter in the Nerf Zombie-Strike Sledgefire Blaster.

In the end, though, I was lucky enough to get the best of both worlds. That is what made me consider using some Buzz Bee blasters instead.

But as far as I know, Nerf has mostly shied away from using shells with any of its’ blasters. I always had a thing for realistically functioning toy guns. I remember thinking that was the coolest thing I had ever heard about a toy gun. He said the shells would even eject from his gun. He told me some of his guns actually used shells with a little piece of foam or rubber inside of it. My father would tell me about the toy guns he had as a child. When I saw it, It made me remember something my dad told me when I was younger. I’m really excited about the Nerf Sledgefire. Three shots fired at once? Unheard of! And how cool is the break-action on this blaster? I love breaking the Sledgefire open and having the shells eject automatically.

The Nerf Sledgefire is my favorite Nerf shotgun.
