A nice touch is that Hasbro supplies 10 darts with the AlphaHawk, not five. Normally all you get is enough to load the blaster once. Kids can strike with confidence as they blast darts designed for accuracy! The Nerf N-Strike AlphaHawk is part of the AccuStrike Series, which features darts designed for greater accuracy.

Right, so let’s move on to what’s special about those AccuStrike darts. They have the same tubular foam body, but the rubber tip has been redesigned to have vanes like a turbine. These presumably make the dart spin a little as it flies, helping it achieve greater accuracy. Look at the AlphaHawk as just any other NERF blaster and it doesn’t look terribly good value; it’s just a five-shot springer with a fancy-looking body. It does look really nice, though, and it’s great to hold, as well as being light. The ten AccuStrike darts – which perform so much better than standard NERF darts – do help to level things out a bit, but not quite enough to justify the high RRP. Accuracy based on test data comparing precision and repeatability of darts fired under controlled conditions at target 30 feet (9 meters) away. See Nerf.com for details. Ability to hit target will vary depending on user's skill, dart condition, and other factors. This Accustrike Alphahawk set is an ideal gift for kids eight years plus.

This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items. I have a real soft spot for the AlphaHawk’s design. It’s like a sniper/target rifle from the future, but with more manageable proportions than a model such as the NERF Mega Centurion. Pull the trigger and an AccuStrike dart flies out straight and true. What sets the AccuStrike ammo apart from standard NERF darts is that they do that consistently. You can actually group shots just inches apart from 20ft away, and with much less chance of a random ‘flyer’. They’re a big improvement on the standard darts – although still not quite as accurate as the golf-ball-shaped NERF Rival rounds, and with a less flat trajectory.

Talking of accessory rails, there’s that one on the top rear, and a shorter one on the bottom at the very front. Perfectly set up for a scope up top and a bi-pod down below, eh? CAUTION: Do not aim at eyes or face. TO AVOID INJURY: Use only darts designed for this product. Do not modify darts or dart blaster.

Nerf engineers spent two years designing the AccuStrike Series line, focusing on the new dart design and balancing blaster performance to allow for increased accuracy and stability. [1] The AlphaHawk takes five darts in its revolving cylinder, which is a swing-out design like the one on the ever-popular Elite Strongarm. There’s a button on the left-hand side of the blaster that you press in and then you can push the cylinder out from the other side.
