Weapon Review:
 
The Nerf® Blast-A-Ball® is definitely a classic. It is one of the first Nerf® weapons ever made and is the first ball firing weapon. In addition to this, the box came with two guns in it. This feature let you loan one to a friend so then you could have a nerf war with him. The only other weapon that came with two of the same guns packaged in the same box was the Nerf® CommLink II™.

Despite all this, the Blast-A-Ball® possesses a few problems. The accuracy of the gun is very low and so is the maximum distance. Also, the gun is only capable of having one shot loaded in the barrel at all times. There is no place to store extra ammo on the gun.

The Nerf® Blast-A-Ball® is a fair weapon, but other ball weapons (like the Nerf® Blast-A-Matic®) are a better deal to buy.
