TeamNC review (1998 era)

The Nerf Pulsator claims to be the fastest firing Nerf ball weapon ever made. The shocking part about this claim is that it is true. Actually, after extensive NerfCenter testing, the weapon proved to be the fastest firing weapon (including dart, arrow, etc. weapons) ever. However, this is the only positive trait about this weapon.The Nerf Pulsator certainly has a few problems. The range of this weapon is one of the lowest of all the ball firing weapons made. The balls frequently jam in the barrels and the gun skips shots. In addition to this, the accuracy of the weapon is not that good. Because of this, the weapon cannot be used for snipping. The Pulsator would be best used for Nerf warriors who are looking for a weapon to clear out a small space with.
