In a video provided directly by Nerf (http://facebook.com/nerfnation) - a pair Nerf team members, Brian Jablonski (Nerf Design Leader) and Mark Ritchie (Nerf Brand Leader), take some user-submitted questions from the Nerf facebook page and answer them! Recorded at the #NerfVortexNYC party a few weeks ago. (search twitter for more info on the event!)
Thanks Nerf for providing the video!

NERF VORTEX VIDEOS - Xposted from FFA!
Heads up! The Nerf Facebook page has released a third video, and this time it clearly the depicts the Vortex blasters in all their resplendent youtube glory.
The names are official - Proton, Vigilon, Praxis, and Nitron - nothing new there. The video gives a 360 of each blaster though, and I am particularly intrigued at the way the muzzles look to accomodate the new disc ammo. Below are some screen shots:
Aw Yeah, the Family Portrait!
The blaster with the internal clip - the Vigilon! Looks to me the size will be pretty close to a recon.
Self-explanatory! Man, look at the size of that magazine.
The blaster we saw in the first video - The Praxis! Oddly enough, no magazine is pictured with it. Pump-action, and judging from that first video pretty awesome range.
The Proton, the pistol entry of the line. As shown in another preview video, this blaster has a slide that pulls out, providing the spot where the disc loads and primes the blaster.
Huzzah! Now, to get to 09/10/11!
