TeamNC review (1998 era)
The Nerf Range Shot is one of the more creative weapons made by Hasbro. The main feature of the weapon is its barrel, which can be arced upward to fire over enemy fortifications (i.e. walls). However, this fancy design only hides the weapon's problems.The fact that the weapon is designed to fire ammo upwards over some object isn't that impressive. Anybody could just bend their wrist upward with a standard weapon. In addition, to this the weapon has a poor range and only moderate accuracy.
There really is no reason to buy this gun. Buy a more powerful pocket weapon instead.
