TeamNC review (1998 era)
The Nerf NitroQuad has a unique design. The weapon has four separate barrels that are situated around the knuckles of the user. The weapon has a built-in dial that allows any one of the barrels to be fired individually, or it can be set to fire two barrels at a time.The design of the NitroQuad has several flaws. First, the weapon is designed for right handed people. In addition to this, the grip is very small, making it difficult for older Nerf warriors to hold this weapon. Second, this weapon has an extremely poor range when using one barrel at a time. The maximum distance of the gun is even worse when both barrels are fired at the same time. Finally, the cocking device on the NitroQuad is extremely difficult to use and is situated in an odd place on the weapon, making it very difficult to cock the weapon.
There is no advantage to using this gun in a Nerf war. Don't buy it.
