Weapon Review:
 
The Nerf® Ripsaw® could be one of the best ball weapons if it did not suffer from some design problems. The weapon has excellent accuracy when compared to most Nerf® weapons and superior accuracy when compared to ball weapons. This is caused by the wheel of the weapon's making the ball spin forward so it travels straight. The weapon also has a reasonable maximum distance and good rate of fire.

The Nerf® Ripsaw® suffers from one major problem- The weapon is LOUD! The wheel emits a loud grinding noise when turning, which any enemy can hear. The way this weapon fires causes the balls to have an under-spin on them. The causes the balls to fly straight but curve upward ever so slightly.

The noise this weapon produces makes it very ineffective in a Nerf® war.
