Weapon Review:
 
The Nerf® Switch Shots Super is a rather unique blaster.  It is one of the first launchers to allow the user to switch between shooting darts or water, thus giving it some built-in "Super Soaker" technology.  Even better, the blaster can hold enough air pressure to shoot water, and then shoot darts with the same pumping.  Therefore, the user can spray their opponents with a water blast to catch them off-guard, before shooting the mega dart.

Like several of the newer Nerf blasters, the Switch Shots Super has a flimsy pumping handle, which I really don't like.  While pumping the gun, it feels like the handle is going to break off.

Of course, as the Switch Shots Super contains the water tank technology of Super Soakers, the launcher suffers from the same "Super Soaker Scum" problem of the drenchers: if you don't leave the air tank unscrewed while storing this blaster, leftover water can corrode the insides of the launcher.

Overall, a unique blaster.  Think about getting one when the hot summer months arrive.
