TeamNC review (1996 era)
The Nerf Defender T3 is the only weapon ever made by Hasbro that can snap apart into two different weapons. The weapon works best when separated into two units. The arrow unit on the gun works very well. It has especially good range and is the only part of the weapon worth using in a Nerf war.The dart blaster on the weapon is not very good. It has a poor range, while the accuracy of the weapon is only satisfactory. Also, the weapon is not worth using when assembled as one unit. The cocking device on the arrow unit does not lock in place very well. This causes the weapon to fire without warning.
The Nerf Defender T3 should only be bought if you are planning on using the arrow shooter alone.
