TeamNC review (1998 era)
The Nerf SuperMAXX 5000 may look cool, but it isn't that good. The SuperMAXX 5000 is one of the few weapons to fire three different kinds of ammo. However, only the SuperMAXX darts fire with reasonable range and accuracy. The SuperMAXX 5000 is the only weapon in the SuperMAXX line to have a place to hold ammo. The Nerf SuperMAXX 5000 has many problems. First, the balls and arrows have poor range and accuracy. Second, it is impractical to change the barrels of the weapon during a Nerf war. Third, the weapon tends to break a lot.
The problems that this weapon has outnumber its good points. Don't buy it.
