The Hammerstorm ups capacity to eight darts, instead of the Hammershot’s five. It now features two Nerf rails, one on the top and one on the bottom. It even features a proper Nstrike barrel attachment lug, in case you really want to use those long barrel attachments. Four different sling points sit around the shell. The eight ammo storage slots sit under the cylinder. In the words of one particular Youtuber, “TACTICS, BRO!”The handle is large and fairly comfortable. Mind you, it’s very plain, but it also doesn’t do anything objectively wrong. There’s room for all your fingers, assuming you don’t have really large hands. The priming hammer placement is the same as the Hammershot, and it’s easy to pull down with your thumb for one-handed usage.

The Flyte CS-10 is a clip system Nerf blaster that was released in spring of 2020 under the Alpha Strike series. It requires four "AA" batteries to be operated. It is also the first clip system Alpha Strike blaster, and the only motorized blaster in the series. The Flyte is the first Alpha Strike blaster to use a proper N-Strike number code. However, similar to other blasters, its name should technically be "Flyte ECS-10", due to it being battery-operated. The Hammerstorm has a similar setup to the Hammershot – the rotation mechanism is slightly different. Beyond that, I would expect modders to be able to change up the internals in a similar manner; new springs or spring spacers are both effective.The Stinger SD-1 is a single-fire blaster that primes via a priming handle on the bottom of its handle, similar to the Jolt EX-1. Unlike other Jolt-styled blasters, the Stinger does not feature a trigger guard in front of its firing trigger. Finally, the trigger is sealed within the shell, rotating on a point, with the “catch” attached to it and supported by ribs in the shell. This is a weak point if you attempt to modify the blaster, for sure. Then again, if you’re modifying the blaster…you’re probably not the target audience of the Alpha Strike series. Performance The Hammerstorm is an interesting anomaly. It’s part of the Alpha Strike line, but it’s clearly not constructed the same. The blaster is screwed together, not clipped. The handle is large and comfortable. There’s much more plastic than you’d expect. And you have eight shots in the cylinder, plus storage for eight more. As a result, it’s possibly the best blaster in the line so far.

A single tactical rail is located on the top of the Flyte, in front of the jam door. It features two sling points near the front of the blaster.

Last Thoughts

The Flyte and the Hammerstorm are the first Alpha Strike blasters to feature attachment points of any sort. With a solid shell, nice features, and the simple fact that it doesn’t feel cheap, the Hammerstorm is already a winner compared to other Alpha Strike Blasters.
