Nerf's Needler replica blaster lights up when you hold it and is fully motorized to authentically imitate the Covenant's trusty weapon

One of the most iconic weapons in the Halo series, the Needler is known for its rapid rate of fire. To imitate Covenant Grunts' go-to weapon, Nerf installed a motor in the blaster. When you pull the trigger, the Needler launches all 10 Nerf Elite Darts in rapid succession. Yes, this means you will have to reload after each pull. The rotating drum is covered by a shield that you flip open to reload.

The electronic components don't don't stop at the motor. The needles and accents on the handle glow when you hold it. The lighting effects can also be activated by turning on display mode, so you can show it off to friends without removing it from the display stand. You could even insist that it's not a toy while your friends ask if they can try it. You'll probably also want to display the box shown below, because it's also quite cool.

The Needler requires six AA batteries to run. Your best bet here is to pair the blaster with some rechargeable batteries. You can get this Energizer AA and AAA battery charger with four batteries included for 50% off at Amazon during its Black Friday sale. You'll need two more batteries still, but a 16-pack of Amazon Basics AA batteries is only $14 right now. Or you can get even better value by opting for the 24-pack for $18.
