TeamNC review (1993 era)

The Nerf Arrowstorm is one of the best Nerf weapons ever made. It is an excellent combination of fire power, distance, and rate of fire. The Arrowstorm is a great weapon for clearing out a small space and is still a good sniper weapon because of the great distance it can fire.

It should be noted that mega darts can easily be shoved in the barrels of this weapon and fired about 35 feet. (All testing for this weapon was done with basic arrows, however.) This adds to the versatility of the weapon.

The only problem with the Arrowstorm is that this accuracy is only satisfactory. The weapon is more accurate if the fins of the arrow are not bent or damaged (like all arrow weapons are). Also, this weapon is a bit difficult for very young kids to fire.

This weapon is defiantly a classic and is worth buying -- at any price.
