TeamNC review (1999 era)
The Nerf Ball Blaster has a design that reflects the older, original ball weapons that Hasbro produced. It, however, has a similar range to weapons like the Nerf Blast-A-Ball and Blast-A-Matic, but has a superiority over these weapons in ammo storage; the Nerf Ball Blaster is the first Nerf ball weapon that can hold seven balls in one barrel. The major problems that the weapon has are its low accuracy and tendency to jam when fired with only one ball in the barrel. Both these problems cause the weapon to become very unpredictable when used in a Nerf war.
The weapon is rather simplistic and thus isn't worth buying when compared with the more functional ball shooters.
