TeamNC review (1990 era)
The Nerf Blast-A-Matic is certainly a classic. This gun is the first semi-automatic Nerf weapon ever made. It is capable of firing four balls in rapid succession without reloading.However, the fast rate of fire is the only good thing about the weapon. The Blast-A-Matic possesses poor accuracy and range. Also, the weapon tends to jam when fired in cold weather.
The Blast-A-Matic is not that good and isn't worth being bought.
