a cruel joke for kids 2009-12-26

By familyof4dad

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.

Don't waste your money!!!! 2009-09-05

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.

A good concept poorly executed 2009-02-25

Let me start by saying, if this thing worked as advertised, it would be amazing. I'd give them to adults I know as gifts. However, the plain fact is the Nerf Vulcan has serious quality control/design issues. The reviews on the other amazon entry for this product complaining about the jams etc are not flukes. It would be cool if it worked, it doesn't.

Xmas morning, half a belt run through it and it is down for the count. The cocking mechanism no longer works, the belt won't advance. Return it to the store for an exchange. 3 shots with the new one and it is down for the count. Cocking mechanism no longer works, the belt won't advance. Being an FFL and someone who works with real guns, including building them, I am kind of frustrated and go to customer service with Hasbro thinking "surely there is some trick to this." No help trouble shooting from Hasbro, just apologies and "we've had lots of problems, please box it and send it back." 4 weeks later I get a nice letter saying they are out of stock and cannot replace our gun. Here we are, 2 months after xmas, and we still have not received what we paid for. The gee whiz factor of this gun would be immense if the thing actually worked. The unavoidable truth is the gun simply does not work. If you got one that runs, hold onto it with both hands and baby it, because you seem to have the exception and not the rule.

Nerf, you owe your public a tangible apology for this mess.
