TeamNC review (1996 era)
The Nerf Strongarm is a typical Cyber Stryke weapon. The weapon is designed to strap to your wrist. It has two barrels that flip out and are controlled by a dial on the weapon. Like most Cyber Stryke weapons, the Strongarm has only satisfactory range.The problem with the Strongarm is its accuracy. This is caused by the fact that their is no trigger on the weapon. Instead a rod on the top of the weapon must be pushed forward to fire the weapon. This makes it harder to steady the weapon. The other problem with the gun is its size. It is designed for smaller children. Older Nerf warriors will have a harder time using this weapon.
The Strongarm's awkward style of firing makes it ineffective to use in a Nerf war.
