TeamNC review (1997 era)
The Nerf ArmorShot is nothing more that an ammunition holder with a weak gun built into it. This weapon is capable of storing eight darts plus on in the barrel for a total of nine darts. This is the only good thing about the weapon.The ArmorShot certainly has some technical problems. First, the firing mechanism of the gun is on the right side of the weapon making it almost impossible for a left handed person to fire it. Second, because it is a CyberStryke weapon it has a little clip on the handle to attach the weapon to a belt. However, the clip is so weak the weapon often falls off. Also, the weapon is to big and it makes it difficult to run at full speed. The third reason this weapon isn't that good is quite simple. It has a poor range and low accuracy for a dart gun.
To put it simply- you shouldn't buy this gun unless you feel like wasting money.
