TeamNC review (1997 era)

The Nerf SuperMAXX 3000 is the most powerful SuperMAXX gun ever made. The weapon has a larger maximum distance than any other SuperMAXX gun. Unlike the Nerf SuperMAXX 1500, the SM 3000 has an automatic rotating barrel. This feature gives the gun an impressive rate of fire.The SuperMAXX 3000 does have a few problems. First, the weapon is a little bulky for younger Nerf warriors. Second, the barrel tends to skip and miss shots on occasion. This can become annoying during a Nerf war.

Looking for a powerful, automatic air-pressured gun? You've found it.
