TeamNC review (1992 era)
The Nerf Hydro Bazooka is one of the few weapons in the Hydro line. The weapon is capable of firing one ball and a blast of water. The gun has the added feature of having a ball attached to the weapon via plastic string. This allows the ball to stay attached to the weapon while the gun only fires water. The user of the weapon may also "fake out" his opponents by pretending to have a real ball in the barrel, while it actually is the ball that is attached to the gun.The Hydro Bazooka may look cool, but it is a weak Nerf weapon. It has one of the lowest ranges for a ball weapon. The gun also has poor accuracy.
If you're looking for a water-based Nerf gun, buy the Hydro Bazooka. Otherwise, buy a more powerful ball weapon.
