TeamNC review (1995 era)
The Nerf Secret Shot is one of the most creatively designed Nerf weapons ever. The weapon appears to be a normal dart gun, but it actually has a hidden barrel in the handle of the gun. The ammo holder of the weapon is the key to switching which barrel fires. If it is bent down, the hidden barrel in the handle will fire. If it is bent up, the normal barrel will fire.The Secret Shot has a good range for a mini-dart weapon.
The main disadvantage of the weapon is that after an enemy has seen the hidden barrel, the barrel is no longer effective. This makes the whole concept of the gun pointless after one shot. In addition to this, it is very difficult to aim the weapon when firing out of the bottom barrel.
Nevertheless, the Secret Shot is still a decent sidearm. Buy it as a backup weapon.
