pretty good 2010-08-12

By zeel

the high rate of fire is nice, and it has a cool look, but the bateries make it way far to much. and its is crap thrying to use it in single fire mode.

it has a few mods. most are for the dart belt, not the gun.

Another Nerf blaster for the modder crowd 2010-04-23

By tomahagne (Elkridge, MD)

Have you read my other Nerf blaster review?

This is another blaster for those who like to tinker. As sold, it's a big heavy effete lump of intimidating plastic. It takes 6 D-cell batteries, but if the voltage drops a little, it will fail to cycle. No, the batteries aren't dead. They're just not strong enough to power the motor.

But there's a VERY easy solution. 9-volt batteries!! There's a very nice video online for what must be the best Vulcan hack to-date.

Remove the battery tray
Wire two 9-volt batteries in series (+ to -)
Attach to the contacts in the tray(+ to +, - to -)
Reinstall battery tray

Now you have enough juice to cycle the motor and deliver darts at a decent rate and power. But it's only just decent. 25 rounds per belt and a range comparable to an unmodded Maverick just doesn't add up to the sort of suppressive fire this SHOULD be able to dish out. Though swapping belts may make you feel like Rambo, it's too slow of a process in cubicle warfare.

For my money, the solution is a Recon with 35 round drum:
Drums swap out as quickly as a mag
Each drum hold 35 rounds (10 more than a belt)
A Recon without barrel and stock is very compact

Sadly, the drum is not yet available without the purchase of a Raider, but it will be. But buying a Raider isn't a bad idea. The Raider is a lousy blaster, but in addition to the drum, it comes with an excelent telescoping stock that will attach to a new Recon. Older Recons like mine with the "ARMED" tube will not function with this stock.

a cruel joke for kids 2009-12-26

Let me start by saying that this gun was not bought for an adult who plays with it at the office. Give me a break, at my "office" I work 12 hour shifts doing back breaking labor. No, I took a radical approach and bought this gun for my son for christmas.
From the start the ammo box would not stay locked into place. The nerf bullets easily slip out of the belt when trying to load. Misfires one out of three times.
Bottom line what looked really cool in the box turned out to be a big let down for my son. Nerf, get it right or dont bother making it.

PS>If this review helps to keep this "toy" out of anyone elses home then I will feel as if I have done a good deed.

This toy is pretty cool when you first get it out of the box. However, after 3 days of use (Christmas, 2008) I found it stopped working all together. I could hear the motor trying to do something and I checked that the batteries were good, but the gun would not fire.

After the first of this year I contacted the merchant (Toys R Us) and asked them what I should do. They told me that I would need to contact the manufacturer (Nerf) regarding the matter. They told me that Nerf would probably want me to send it back. I tried to contact Nerf, but found that their website would not allow me to navigate the drop down menu for Customer Service (how convenient).

After several months, I decided to open up the gun and try to at least review the working mechanism to determine what might be wrong. I found the most worthless plastic parts (very little electronics) to ever be spewed out of the petroleum industry. A lot of parts had flash still on them, the gear box (all plastic, not metal) had gears that barely, if at all, fit together and various other defects in the plastic molding that come from shoddy, half baked, curing or extrusion.

If your considering buying this product, I would recommend you ask the merchant about a clear path to returning the item should it have problems. As for me, I look forward to the challenge of trying to repair it myself and try to enhance it so I can say my gun is faster and cooler than the original.

WOW! Best Nerf Gun ever! 2009-03-07

By Dave W. (Fayetteville, GA United States)

Bought our Nerf N-Strike Vulcan at Amazon in Nov. for a Christmas present for my 12 year old. We got the value pack, with the extra ammo belt and strap. This gun is amazing! It is the first thing our children play with everytime they have a friend over. They choose it over the WII, which says something about any toy. The strap is a nice feature because of the size of this thing. My 9 year old has his hands full when he fires it Rambo style. It has taken a few spills and been operated by no less than 20 boys and is still working perfectly. My only complaint is that it is so good, that it out guns any other Nerf Gun. You really need two to make it fair.
