Weapon Review:
 
The Nerf® FastBlast is a decent launcher.  It has a average maximum distance and accuracy.  While not being an extremely powerful launcher, it does have one advantage over the most recently released blasters: the FastBlast does not need to be pumped in order to fire.  Therefore, the FastBlast is a quite useful back-up blaster, if nothing else.

The only other complaint I have about this launcher is that the handle which fires the FastBlast seems very weak.  It doesn't really make the blaster very stable.

Overall, you should really only buy the FastBlast if you are looking for a decent backup blaster.  Otherwise, launchers like the Nerf® WildFire and the Nerf® Mad Hornet offer better ways to dish out micro darts.
