TeamNC review (1995 era)

The Nerf Wrist Blitzer is the first Nerf weapon to ever to incorporate the ability to attach the gun to your body in some way. The main advantage of this feature is (supposedly) the ability to hold other weapons while still having this gun ready to fire. The Wrist Blitzer has some flaws with this design. The main problem is the inability to use other weapons while in conjunction with the Wrist Blitzer. The firing rod projects too far from the weapon, and this severely hinders the ability to hold other weapons while still using the gun. In addition to this, the range of the weapon is poor.

The Wrist Blitzer isn't worth its unique look and should not be bought.
