TeamNC review (1991 era)
The Nerf Slingshot is a typical example of Hasbro taking a classic children's toy and making a Nerf weapon based on it (such as the Bow 'n' Arrow). The only positive feature about this weapon is the tube on the weapon will feed balls into the gun. This gives the weapon a decent rate of fire. The Slingshot has two simple problems that keep it from being a good Nerf weapon. First, it has horrible accuracy. Second, it has horrible range.
While the Slingshot is a good collector's item, it is not practical to use in a Nerf war.
