TeamNC review (1992 era)
The Nerf Sharpshooter is the first dart firing Nerf weapon. The gun is the only weapon to have darts with fins on them and darts with an enlarged hole. The Nerf Sharpshooter has a good combination of maximum distance and accuracy. These features make the weapon a good side arm. The main disadvantage of the Sharpshooter is its poor rate of fire. This problem is caused by the way the dart must be loaded into the weapon. The hole in the dart must be slip over a post in the middle of the gun.
The Sharpshooter was a great gun in its time, but has been replaced by several better pistols.
