TeamNC review (1993 era)
The Nerf Detonator is certainly one of the most unique Nerf weapons ever made. This weapon is nothing more than a plunger that is smacked down to fire a micro dart. By hitting the plunger hard enough, you can make this weapon achieve a very large maximum distance (one of the longest for a micro dart weapon). However, this is the only positive trait about this weapon.The accuracy of this weapon is extremely poor. The weapon is designed to be set on a table or other flat surface when fired. Because of this, there is no handle on the weapon to steady it. Also, the weapon is difficult to reload which accounts for the slow rate of fire.
This weapon may look cool, but it is not worth buying.
