TeamNC review (1999 era)
Except for the similar name, the Nerf Secret Shot II is nothing like its forerunner, the Nerf Secret Shot. Hasbro improved on almost every aspect of the Secret Shot when making the Secret Shot II. First, Hasbro changed the way the weapon fires ammo. Instead of using a spring, the weapon uses air pressure. This accounts for the gun's having over twice the range of the original Secret Shot. Second, Hasbro added a barrel that flips down. The enemy can never know if the gun is loaded or not.The Nerf Secret Shot II suffers from the same stigma that all weapons in the Airjet Power line suffer from; it has an incredibly poor rate of fire. The gun must be pumped eight times for it to achieve its maximum distance.
If you are looking for a very powerful handgun, the Nerf Secret Shot II is your weapon of choice.
