In the same way that athletes will take a GoPro along to showcase their point of view, this Nerf gun comes equipped with a camera so you can relieve the action. The Nerf N-Strike Elite Nerf Cam ECS-12 Blaster is a social media-incorporating toy from Hasbro. In addition to having a built-in camera, you can also share your 'missions' with others.
While the concept of capturing a Nerf gun battle on film might seem like a ridiculous idea to some, to other adventure-seekers it will certainly be right up their alley. The "technologically savvy and socially active" product is designed to "actively engage Nerf Nation" according to Michael Ritchie, head of the Nerf franchise at Hasbro.
