TeamNC review (1994 era)

There is only one saying that comes to mind when you mention the Nerf Ballzooka: "it is raining balls." The weapon is capable of firing 15 balls in under six seconds. This makes it one of the best Nerf ball weapons of all time.The only problem that is associated with the Ballzooka is the low accuracy of the weapon. Also, it is possible for the weapon to break if you pull the handle back too fast. Despite these downsides, this is one of the best weapons made especially for close combat.

Buy this weapon at any price, but be aware that it only comes with ten balls- so you have to buy another five.
