TeamNC review (1995 era)
The Nerf Backlash is the only Nerf weapon to attach to a wall or some other fixed object. The benefits of this weapon are quite simple. You mount this weapon somewhere and leave it until you need it and then all you have to do is pull the string. In theory, this is a great idea- until you actually try it out in a war.The weapon is plagued with a couple of basic problems. First, the suction cup used to attach the weapon to things does not stick to anything. If you somehow get the suction cup to stick, the chances of the gun being lined up to hit the enemy are next to nothing. Finally, if the weapon sticks to the fixed object and is lined up (by some miracle) you probably won't hit anything because of the gun's weak range.
Save your money and buy something else unless you really want a weapon that could attach to something.
