Nerf Secret Shot 2

The Nerf Secret Shot 2 is a big upgrade from the original Secret Shot. It’s so much of an upgrade, in fact, that it’s almost silly that these guns share the same name.

Whereas the original Secret Shot used a spring firing mechanism, the Secret Shot 2 is an air blaster. It takes about eight pumps to fully prime the weapon, and for a single shot it really pays off, but the downside of course is that you have to pump eight times between every round.

It can still be a lot of fun to play with the Secret Shot, but there’s really no reason to buy one now when you can make very basic modifications to the Nite Finder and reach the same distance with a spring loaded gun.

Nerf Sawtooth

The Nerf Sawtooth was Nerf’s first attempt at a chain gun, and…well…it was about as good as you could expect a first attempt to be.

Plagued by poor range and a frequent jamming rate, the Sawtooth was never a reliable Nerf weapon, which is too bad given it’s impeccable accuracy.

Nerf Sneak Shot

Have you ever thought to yourself, ‘man it would be cool if I could shoot people around corners?’ I know that I have at least never once. Thankfully, the good people at Nerf anticipated our needs and made a barely functional weapon to address them.

The Nerf Sneak Shot comes with a mirror and a bendable barrel. Cool, eh? Now you can bend the barrel around the corner and see where you’re aiming with the mirror! Ingenious!

Only problem is, the mirror falls off all the time. Also (and I know this will come at a shock) if you bend the barrel of a gun, the velocity drastically decreases!!!

Even with the Nerf Sneak Shot, your chances of shooting someone from around the corner are zero, which happens to equal your chances of shooting someone from around the corner with any other gun.

In short, you’ll be no worse off without the Sneak Shot.

Nerf RotoTrack

The Nerf RotoTrack was an upgrade to the Razorbeast and Chainblazer.

The RotoTrack improves on both the range and rate of fire of its predecessors, though like all chain guns, it still has occasional jamming problems.

Nerf Razor Fin

The Nerf Razor Fin is a decent Nerf gun (it’s a pain to mod, though). It can be a bit awkward to fire with the cocking mechanism at the bottom of the handle and the trigger on the back, but the alternating barrel semi-automatic action somewhat makes up for the difficulty of handling the Razor Fin.

The Razor Fin boasts above range and accuracy for a gun its size, but it’s hard to recommend given the quirkiness of its design.

Nerf Razorbeast

First things first: The Nerf Razorbeast is big. Really big.

Thanks to its size, the Razorbeast can hold up to fifteen darts at at a time. The firing mechanism is also pretty cool, with the hand crank on the side of it (unless you’re left-handed, in which case you can’t use this gun. Sorry).

Unfortunately, the Razorbest lacks punch. Both range and accuracy are lacking, and ultimately the Nerf Razorbeast just isn’t worth lugging around.

Nerf Rattler

The Nerf Rattler was a solid Nerf gun for its time. A semiautomatic, the Rattler can shoot off four rounds in succession before it needs to be reloaded.

The firing lever is a bit strange and hard to get used to, and it’s hard to hold the gun steady while using the lever, thus resulting in some accuracy problems.

The Rattler was later replaced by the Nerf Ratchetblast, but it’s still a fine weapon in its own right.

Nerf RatchetBlast

The Nerf RatchetBlast is an upgrade to the Nerf Rattler.

Whereas the lever system on the Rattler caused some accuracy issues, the RatchetBlast features a trigger. Additionally, a hand shield was added to the handle of the RatchetBlast, which is a nice touch.

The RatchetBlast gets pretty good scores on the range and accuracy front, and would be a fine choice should you need a replacement to your Rattler.

Nerf Manta Ray

The Nerf Manta Ray boasts one of the most unique designs Nerf has ever incorporated into one of their guns.

Unlike a lot of the Maxforce guns where the animal elements are more tacked on than functional, the Nerf Manta Ray actually ads some interesting functionality.

For starters, the Manta Ray was the first Nerf gun that could shoot multiple darts at the same time. Making it even cooler, the barrels are pointed at angles so that both of your darts will converge upon a single point about 25 feet from the target.

The Nerf Manta Ray can also be used as a dart shield, which is pretty cool. After some practice, you can make yourself pretty much invincible with the shield. Thankfully, the shield can also be easily removed if you don’t care for it.

Nerf Laser Fang

The Nerf Laser Fang is the upgrade to the Nerf Eagle Eye, in that the range and accuracy were improved over its predecessor.

Nerf also decided to add a little hand shield to the Laser Fang, which is too bad, seeing as it’s crazy annoying and falls off all the time. Thankfully, you can always choose not to put it back on, but it’s easy to wonder what the use of the shield was in the first place.
