Weapon Review:
 
The Nerf® Whiptail Scorpion has a very creative design. The weapon is designed to look like a scorpion. The barrel of the weapon is the tail of the scorpion. This means that as the trigger is pulled back to fire the weapon, the tail curves upward to look like a scorpion ready to strike. The main benefit of this is that it increases the maximum distance of the weapon. The faster the trigger is pulled back, the farther the micro dart will fly forward.

However, there is one main disadvantage of this firing mechanism. The accuracy of this weapon is severely reduced. The weapon tends to fire the ammo too high, and it usually overshoots its intended target. In addition to this, the tail is flimsy. This makes it hard to load ammo with one hand.

While it looks cool, the Whiptail Scorpion isn't worth buying.
