TeamNC review (1995 era)

The Nerf Hidden Shot is one of the better pocket weapons made by Hasbro. It is the only small pocket weapon with a trigger. This helps to increase the accuracy of the gun. Also the suction cups on the darts glow, making them able to be seen in the dark. Another benefit that the weapon provides is its ability to fold up into a very compact size. It is one of the smallest pocket weapons available.The only problem with the Hidden Shot is its poor maximum distance. Also, the handle on the weapon is very difficult for older Nerf warriors to hold.

The Hidden Shot is okay when compared to other mini pocket weapons, and it is worth buying as a decent sidearm.
