Part of the Nerf N-Strike line, the Nerf Vulcan is one of the most ambitious Nerf guns that Hasbro has ever made.
The first thing you’ll notice when you take the Vulcan out of the box is that this is a really big Nerf gun, not at all suited for a stealth mission. This is to be expected — it is a machine gun afterall — but you won’t appreciate size and weight of the gun until you hold it in your hands for the first time.
Once you take the Vulcan out of the box, you’ll notice that it comes with a few accessories: a much needed tripod, an ammobox, and an ammobelt. Inside the ammobox, you’ll find 25 darts loaded in the ammobelt.
If you’re thinking about buying the Vulcan, you’re probably attracted to the idea of firing off 25 rounds in less than 10 seconds. And really, who wouldn’t enjoy blasting their friends/kids/baby seals with that kind of firepower? Unfortunately, as appealing as the idea is, the Vulcan isn’t all high fives and fist pumps.
For starters, the price tag on the Nerf Vulcan is pretty hefty ($40). It also requires 6 D batteries to operate (unless you want to go into single-shot manual pump mode). As you would expect, it also takes a very significant amount of time to load 25 rounds into the belt after every 10 seconds of fun.
One of the primary complaints about the Nerf Vulcan is its tendency to jam. In my experience, this problem can be mitigated significantly by keeping the belt straight and ‘feeding’ it in with your non-trigger hand. However, I can see that younger kids would probably have a hard time with this, and I’d imagine they’d grow frustrated rather quickly.
The range on this Nerf gun is also somewhat lackluster, but in the end it’s acceptable given the awesome rate of fire. Expect average shots to reach about 15-20 feet.
On the positive side, the Vulcan is an absolute blast to use, and like many N-Strike guns, features the tactical rail system. This means that it’s compatible with accessories from other Nerf guns, such as the Recon’s sights, the Longshot’s scope, and the Unity Power System’s scout blaster.
All in all, the Nerf Vulcan is a great deal of fun and should keep you busy for hours — even if most of that time is spent reloading.

oh hey guys, I’m back to tell you about the new nerf vulcan. It is a great primary in a nerf war. although it uses really expensive batteries it will shoot extremely far for a battery powered gun. well I’ve gotta go so buy the vulcan and yes I will review more guns
Have you seen the nerf sentry turret on youtube?
dude i gave my vulcan a power boost so it shoots 25 in 5 secs
The Nerf Vulcan is awesome! Mine never jammed once, and it is great for nerf wars!
its an awsome gun but mine jammed within two wars
cool gun exept for jamming and reloding
Its not my favoirte gun because mine keeps jamming
its cool but its speed is over exaggerated, it jam’s allot and the batters are very heavy
i haven’t brought one of these guns yet and im wondering if you have to use 6 v batteries and if you dont does it have the same power.
its 6 d batters and ya without the batters its just as good but not as fast u haft to use the bolt every time before firing again
The vulcan is an ok gun. It’s cool to fire all those darts at once and stuff but it has problems. It jammes (the darts get stuck in the fireing hole). So to say. about two-three darts for all twenty five and it’s heavy. But altogether, it’s a pretty good gun!
who ever that has this rifle should always have two people operating it. I think this rifle is compared to a world war two browning light machine gun. Keep up the good work Nerf!
This gun is good but isnt the best.
The Best Nerf Gun in the world is the
NERF RAIDER C-35 read my review on it!
Its the last review on the Raider
(At least for now!)
I hate any gun that requires batteries or takes a long time to reload and this fits both categories. I prefer the maverick. (which by the way is very reliable and less than 1/4 the price!)
i like it but i don’t love takes a long time to reload.I don’t know why i bout it
have you seen the nerf sentry turret on youtube/in internet?
Great gun for 1v1 and 2v2 wars. if your battling with many people not the primary your thinking of.
If you use this gun as a primary use sonic micro darts. If you can’t find the sonic micro darts click followin adress

I am trying to decide between this and the longshot. I am looking for opioins
jams to dam much
heavy, poor range, needs batteries, loud, troublesome to reload, there are much better guns out there for a lot cheaper
yeah true but when you mod the top its way easyer
I’ve not had it jam on me once in several nerf wars and it is great fun. My only wish is that I could get a second bandolier. That would make it’s usefulness in a full on war far far greater.
IT IS SO AWSOME I SHOT MY BEST FREND
LAST WEEK WE LAFT OWR HEADS OFF BECAUSE I SHOT HI IT BANST OFF HIM
iv not had one jam with it and its an awsome gun but heavy
iv not had one jam with it and its an awsome gun but heavy and big if you mod it its alot heavyer
i dont think anyones here but i think the only thing bad about it is not its jamming not its batterie but when u have to carry it through like a 15v15 group there no way u cant get through without getting shot carrying this big huge yellow thing plus theres no way to hide it sure in the house but if u have to cover yourself in pillows thats unexceptable
I just bought this one recently and all I can say is I love it. Only takes a minute to load for me if you have the rounds collected. Your best bet is to have several belts pre-loaded. Belt fed guns in general aren’t meant to be loaded on the battle field. I’ve never had mine jam and Ive run belts through it for fun several times now. Even have a modded 50 round belt. It seems to me people are misinterpreting this gun as something it was never designed to be. This thing is /way/ better than the Razorbeast I had back in the day. In fact, it’s what I had always hoped the Razorbeast would have been! ^.^
vulcan looks to heavy jams more than ACTUAL guns and if you want to sneak attack with a in-door battle,you will have this huge belt clinking on the floor.
well i think its a suckers gun it got jammed and then mine blew up if you buy one you will die my bro died…. so whoever made this website go fuck off
this gun owns man!myn never jammed once and i got it 10 3 months ago!It never jammed and ive been in like a hundred nerf batlles!this is a great gun
great gun
this gun although i dont have it i think is 1 of the best gun nerf has ever made!=)
This gun is not my type of gun it is not accurate, has no range and a hefty price tag…yet a wonderful rate of fire
this is a great gun but it lacks in range and reloading epesily for how big it is but still go rapid fire acttion
vollcandbast
bobo
sory my stupid little brother who only 6 made the coments above exepet the first on that wasa mine
FYI thats about $10 on batteries if not more.
I bought another ammo belt with my Vulcan and attached it to the guns original ammo belt. So now I get twice as long firing time! (I attached them by screwing off the end ‘dummy’ shells then screwing on the new belt)
terible gun after 10 min of usin it it goes 2 like 10-15 feet
it looks pretty cool but its not very good at all
I know it jams alot but it is not a hard concept. There is a simple solution: keep a backup with you. You should do that anyways. This is a great gun for if you have someone trapped. You can easliy light them up. It’s hard to balance in a fight though. Also, it only takes about 15 sec to un-jam.
This is a good gun for fast shouthing may jamme good acuretsy but can shout a max of 50 feet if your lucky but has a hevy price tag and 12 dollars on bateries and the gun is really hevy like 5-20 ponds and allso to big but really fun to play with i can achure you 99 out of 100 thimes you will hit the enemy dont shout at face or at iyes this is a 8 star gun out of 10 stars.
dont buy this gun. JUST DONT. IT takes 1 million years to reload and you cant hit a tank thats right in front of you because it doesnt even have the range to get to it plus even if it did it still wouldnt hit it because its has so little accuracy. I take that back it doesnt even have any accuracy. I know it looks good but it isnt. dont buy this gun. just dont
i rate it as a 9 out of 1-10 scale. But i has a question:it says now you can see with nerf guns in complete darkness but then on a side in small print it says not for complete darkness
oops i thought i was on nerf nite finder EX3
I just got this gun! It is soooooo awesome!!!
Pros:
Awesome firing rate(3 Darts per second w/fresh batteries)
Fast reload time(w/ multiple chains)
Looks Awesome!!!
Cons:
Slow reload time(putting bullets back in the chain)
Heavy (about 5 pounds)
batteries are expensive(6 Ds)
Overall it is an awesome gun!!!!!!!
I got this gun like may of 2009 and have had it for a long time. To tell you the truth, I havent played that much with it. Its fun for the few seconds youre shooting it, but then you have to reload it and that takes forever, and then you discover that half of the darts are gone. However, all things considered, it is a decent gun.
Pros: Automatic Cons: Slow reloading
belt is cool (except for the reloading) Expensive
fun in wars heavy
alex you stupid little noob how dare you insult the awsomeness of this great hevy,hard to reload,poor accerasy over all terrible gun (oh wait your right)
This gun is a gun that is almost impossible to mod so whoever invented this, GO TO HE**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON’T FORGET THE POOR RANGE.
I MEAN THIS! THIS IS THE WORST NERF GUN EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Modder I completly disagre with you I MEAN THIS! THIS IS THE >BEST<NERF GUN EVER
while you loading the valcan you know that you are going to get sume well deserved play time. HIGHLY RECOMED IT.

the modder you have terrible taste this gun is beast but then again im no a modder
I know the old ones stink but if you get the new vulcans (i got one for christmas)you will find its been upgraded. I also found out if you actualy take the time to load the belt into the ammo box the right way you can actually shoot a whole belt off with out it jamming!! ALEUAI ALEUIA
right alex
This gun sucks, it sucks, it sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
modder shut up nobody likes you
this gun rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
if nerf fan comes in here i will get really mad
i have the vulcan it is tank and rambo action and terminator all in one
what the?!?!?!….the modder ….tsssk..u arent a nerf fan
This gun is pseudo-good. Holding out the belt straight and discarding the useless box (it looks stupid and doesn’t do much) usually takes care of jamming. The bullets fly fast out the muzzle and are pretty accurate. The main problem is that the gun is too heavy for even the most tactical of Nerf wars. It is hard as hell to move quickly, and firing from the hip is near-impossible thanks to a bad center of gravity. It still is good for hiding and guarding corners, though.
You rek Jason. You smell, you’re a idiot, and you don’t have any taste!!! Just waht you need to go to HE$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i don’t get why tou think it sucks it may be alittle heavy but still you can’t just say its a bad gun it shoots like one dart every second and if you think the reloading is bad there is an eseay mod to make the belt hold 50 i even made a 100 belt
The range
yes, but range isn’t exactly everything, i don’t complain that my longshot shoots nowhere near sniper rifle range, also, do remember that this gun is electronically fired, and as a result had bad range
if you try tou cab fix the range but probably not on full auto : (
I really want this gun. My fav is my modded Recon. I modded the barrel a little so it gets a little better range. The barrel makes the gun more accurate, but it has less range.
