TeamNC review (1998 era)
The Nerf RipChord is one of the most innovative ideas that Hasbro has come up with. When the "chord" of the weapon is pulled, it causes the barrels to fire one at a time. The weapon can fire micro darts at a rate of one micro dart per .24 seconds. This makes the weapon the fastest firing singular-shot micro dart weapon ever made. In addition, the accuracy of the weapon is impressive.The weapon has a few problems that keep it from being a legitimate primary weapon. The range of the weapon it not very good, which severely hinders its performance. Also, the chord of the weapon is quite long and is a nuisance when trying to use another weapon along with the RipChord.
If you're looking for a quick-attack weapon, buy the RipChord.
