TeamNC review (1994 era)

The Nerf Sneak Shot is a great example of Hasbro using the ingenuity to design a great weapon and then screw it up. The idea behind the Sneak Shot is that the weapon that has a barrel that can rotate around corners. With the help a mirror, the user of the gun can aim the weapon successfully. However, this feature is horribly inaccurate.The main problem with the Sneak Shot is that none of its features work. First, it is extremely difficult to aim around corners. Second, the mirror on the top of the weapon always falls off. Third, the range of the weapon is greatly reduced when the barrel is bent. Forth, the barrel won't lock in place properly, so it can not be easily used as a normal weapon. The ammo holder and sight also found on the gun do not stay in place.

Don't even think about buying the Sneak Shot.
