TeamNC review (1995 era)
The Nerf Whipshot is a very generic pocket Nerf weapon. The only positive trait of the weapon is the spring in the barrel. This allows the weapon to have a greater range when compared to most pocket weapons. The main disadvantage of the Whipshot is its barrel. (The barrel snaps on top of the weapon so enemies can't see if the weapon is loaded.) The problem with the barrel is that there is no seal between the snap down barrel and the weapon. This severely hinders the range of the weapon and keeps it from reaching its full potential. Also, this is one of the few Nerf weapons that has no place for extra ammo storage.
The Nerf Whipshot is not practical enough to be used in a Nerf war.
