TeamNC review (1992 era)
The Nerf Missile Launcher is the first and only Nerf weapon that is designed specifically to be fired with the user's foot. The weapon can be aimed upward at and angles to fire arrows over walls, forts, or other defensive fortifications. This allows the weapon to be strategically placed before a Nerf war and then fired at the right time. The Missile Launcher suffers from one major problem; it has no accuracy. The weapon is extremely difficult to aim and it's practically impossible to hit a moving target with this gun. In addition to this, the barrel of the gun tends to slip out of place and constantly needs adjusting. Another problem of the weapon is that the firing plunger falls off of the weapon and needs to be stuck back in place. The plunger has also been known to rip sometimes.
The Nerf Missile Launcher is a creative weapon, but it really has no function in a war.
