TeamNC review (1998 era)

The Koosh Vortex Tornado X/2 is the "little brother" weapon of the Koosh Vortex Tornado. The Tornado X/2 has greater accuracy over the Tornado. In addition to this, it also has a faster rate of fire. However, the Tornado X/2 is not a complete improvement over the Tornado.The main disadvantage of the Koosh Vortex Tornado X/2 is that it has a reduced maximum when compared to the Tornado. Also, the Spinfire rings tend to blow off course with the slightest wind.

Although not as sniper-geared as the Tornado, the Tornado X/2 is still a good buy.
