Trust me, I'm a big
fan of the Koosh Vortex blasters. However,
the Koosh Vortex Viper Shot is a very poor
representation of this otherwise awesome product
line.
In short, the Viper Shot doesn't work. The
entire Vortex line works because of its unique
Spin Fire ammo, a ring which travels incredible
distances as it rotates and moves forward in the
air. That¹s the problem with the Viper Shot
- it¹s so underpowered, it cannot spin the micro
Spin Fire rings the launcher fires. Thus,
the launcher acts like a weak catapult, propelling
its rings only a few feet. Sadly, the rings
can actually be thrown by hand farther than the
Viper Shot launches them. That's never a
good thing.
I'm not sure how this product got past quality
control, but in any case, stay away from this
blaster.

When
my sister first saw the viper shot she said
"Hey, Matt, where is the trigger on this
launcher?" I said, "There isn't
one." Her response
to that was "well, this thing must really
suck!" I could not have said it
better.
Although the
Viper Shot is
the smallest of all the Vortex products, the accuracy of the
launcher is pitiful. It
is almost impossible to hit a target.
Furthermore, the lack of accuracy is amplified by
the blaster's poor range. It cannot even fire 25
feet.
When the range and accuracy of this
blaster are combined, they form a magnificent
piece of junk.

"Ouch!
BAD!" could suffice for this review, but I
feel obliged to rant a little.
Compared to the other blasters in this series, the
Vortex Viper Shot is totally pointless. Accuracy,
distance, and power are very limited. The trigger
is not automatic. You actually have to pull the
entire firing mechanism back to fire the ring.
This causes incredible difficulty with accuracy.
It uses a smaller ring size than its cousins,
which is an rare type of ammo. Even the Fast Fire
and Spin Sight are more powerful and accurate than
this piece of crap.
The Viper Shot
completely fails in comparison to its cousins and
isn’t even worth your time.
