It's been awhile since Hasbro last produced a unique blaster like the Bungee Blaster.

This launcher fires an unique "bungee ball" ammo which uses a long elastic bungee cord for a propellant. Those who are crafty will discover that these little suckers can even be fired without the use of the Bungee Blaster - simply hold the elastic part with your fingers. (And for those who are wondering, yes, the bungee balls do sting a little bit.)

It isn't very practical to use this blaster, however. Very few people will probably be using this launcher in Nerf wars, so you'll have quite a problem tracking down your three bungee balls when it's time to reload. Speaking of which, make sure you don't lose your bungee ammo, because it's not sold in reload packs.

A cool, unique concept, but its non-standard ammo hurts the Bungee Blaster's usefulness.

The Bungee Blaster is one of the most unique launchers available. It blasts the latest Nerf ammo, the Bungee Ball with great velocity. Rate of fire is high because the blaster automatically switches shooting ports. For a blaster that fires in a sling-shot style, it is surprisingly accurate. The Bungee Blaster is very light weight, and the hole in the blaster’s handle provides an excellent place to fasten the blaster to your side for future use.

The disadvantage is, of course, blatantly obvious. THIS IS THE ONLY BLASTER THAT FIRES BUNGEE BALL AMMO!! There is nothing more embarrassing in a Nerf war than scrounging around for a specialized ammo type. For now, the Bungee Blaster is simply too unique a design to be efficacious in a Nerf war.

The Bungee Blaster is the first launcher of its kind, but it needs to be followed up by other blasters that launch the same ammo type to become effective in a Nerf war. It is however unparalleled in innovation of design and concept, and is a great buy for the advancing Nerfer.
