TeamNC review (1992 era)
The Nerf NB-1 Missile Blaster was one of the first Nerf weapons ever made. It is also the first missile weapon produced. The only positive thing about this weapon is its maximum distance. Stronger Nerf warriors can fire this weapon over 40 feet with no problem because of its being manually powered.The problem with this weapon is its poor accuracy. This is brought on by a couple of different factors. First, it is hard to steady the weapon and push the handle forward at the same time. Second, the barrel pops out of place every once in a while. Third, the missiles tend to naturally fly off-course.
All in all, the NB-1 Missile Blaster is not worth buying.
