TeamNC review (1998 era)
The Nerf Lock 'n Load is arguably the best single shot Nerf weapon available. The gun has superior range for a dart weapon. Also, the weapon is one of the smallest dart firing weapons made by Hasbro.The gun has one small problem; it tends to fire high. This is brought on by the fact that the yellow cocking mechanism on top of the weapon slides forward when firing. This causes a shift in the weight of the weapon, which leads to the weapon tilting upward slightly.
The Nerf Lock 'n Load is one of the best Nerf weapons and should be considered a "must have" gun for every Nerfer.
