Nerf Stampede ECS

Used but in good condition Comes with magazine with 18 Nerf Darts The Stampede is a battery-operated motorized direct plunger blaster. It does not feature an external priming mechanism. It features six tactical rails, the most of any current Nerf blaster. One is on top of the carrying handle/built-in iron sights, one is above the barrel, two are beneath the barrel, and the last two are on both the left and right sides of the main body. Any accessories mounted on the latter two or the carry handle are blocked when the included Blast Shield is attached above the barrel. Like most blasters, the jam door is located on top of the Stampede, under the carry handle. It does not have a lock and can be opened at any time to remove jammed darts. Clip release buttons are located next to the trigger, on either side of the blaster. The power lever is on the left side of the trigger. Two points for clipping a sling or a carrying strap are located at the back of the blaster near the battery compartment. There are also two points located at the front of the blaster; above and below the muzzle. Firing mechanism The Stampede is fully-automatic, but a single shot can be fired by pulling back the trigger for about a second due to its slow fire rate. The Stampede features a motorized direct plunger system, giving it a unique priming and firing style. Its internals push forward first. In doing so, the Streamline Dart to be fired is pushed into the breech and the blaster is primed simultaneously. The piston is then released to fire the dart using a mechanical equivalent of a slam fire trigger. A return spring (the visible black spring) resets the firing mechanism, letting a new dart rise up the clip. It should be noted that because of its firing mechanism, darts that are not loaded perfectly will become damaged. Consistent use will result in darts missing small pieces on the rear. This does not seem to affect the blaster itself although it will affect accuracy. Weight distribution The Stampede ECS is one of the heaviest Nerf blasters. Most of the weight is located at the rear of the blaster where the "D"-sized batteries are held, meaning that the center of gravity is backwards from standard firing position. This can be mitigated by adding weight to the front in the form of attachments, but will overall increase the weight. Another solution is to use IMR batteries in 14500 format ("AA" size), fitted into converter shells. In addition to reducing rear weight, these will also provide an easy and convenient voltage upgrade, raising rate of fire.
