TeamNC review (1992 era)
The Nerf Master Blaster only made a short appearance on the market because it was quickly replaced with the more powerful Nerf Ballzooka. The Master Blaster was the first ball weapon capable of firing a ball when pushing the handle forward and also when pulling it backward. Because of this, the weapon has an incredible rate of fire.However, the Master Blaster has a few problems. The accuracy and maximum distance of the weapon are low. Also, the gun tends to skip shots or fire two balls at once, which makes the weapon very unreliable.
The Master Blaster was great in its time, but has become outdated with the release of the Ballzooka. Only buy the Master Blaster if you are looking for a good collector's item.
