The Ultimator(TM), while an impressive looking weapon, is just that impressive looking. This takes forever to ready the weapon (note the rate of fire as 16 seconds). These large ballistic missiles fly incredibly slow. You could easily step aside the oncoming shot, that is if it got anywhere near you (note it's inability to hit even at 25 feet). Firing this weapon will also make you deaf. This has the loudest "kachunk" I have ever heard on any toy.

Shots fly way off course, and you can only aim at 15 feet or less, so the 75 feet of maximum range really does you little to no good.

The only thing good about this toy is it's impressive looks. Please if you actually own one, do not spoil this surprise by actually trying to hit anything with it.
