TeamNC review (1995 era)

The Nerf Crossbow is a great Nerf weapon. It was the first weapon that ever incorporated the ability to fire two different types of ammo. The Crossbow has an excellent range and with proper modifications the range can be increased even more. Also, the Crossbow is the first arrow weapon to have a trigger on it. This results in a superior accuracy when compared to other arrow weapons.The only flaw that the weapon has is that the darts don't fire nearly as far as the arrows. Also, the weapon has a satisfactory rate of fire.

The Crossbow is a good weapon and with proper modification, it can become a great weapon.
