TeamNC review (1994 era)

The Nerf Chainblazer was one of the original chain-firing weapons. It came out around the same time as the Nerf Razorbeast. This weapon greatly improved some of the features of the Razorbeast. First, this weapon was much smaller and lighter. This made it easier to carry around and it make it possible to steady the weapon when taking aim and firing. Second, because of the lighter weight of this weapon, it was easier to aim. Thus, the accuracy increased as well as the distance. Third, this weapon does not jam as much as the Razorbeast and the chain holds together better. Because of this, the rate of fire for the weapon increased greatly.The only downside about the Chainblazer that the chain that the weapon comes with can only hold eight darts. Therefore, you must buy longer chains if you want to effectively use the weapon.

If you're looking for a good holdout weapon, get the Chainblazer. Be sure to buy some extra chains, though.
