TeamNC review (1999 era)
The Nerf WildFire is the first fully automatic Nerf weapon. The weapons certainly packs some firepower; it is capable of firing twenty micro darts in rapid succession. The weapon has incredible range and accuracy for being a micro dart gun. The weapon even features a handy shoulder strap. In addition to these features, the weapon manages to maintain a relatively decent size for its power.The WildFire does have a few minor problems. It takes a long time to prime the weapon. In addition to this, the gun is quite loud when firing. Also, like most Nerf weapons, the idea of attaching the weapon to your body fails; the shoulder strap falls off sometimes.
However, these minor setbacks can be easily overlooked. If you can afford the WildFire's rather large price tag, buy this gun.
