TeamNC review (1995 era)
The Milton Bradley Spitfire is the only Nerf-like weapon ever made by Milton Bradley. The weapon was originally intended to be part of a target game. The main advantage of the Spitfire is its fast rate of fire. In addition to this, the blaster can fire twenty discs in rapid succession without stopping.Unfortunately, this is where the positive things about the weapon ends. The Spitfire is a relatively weak and inaccurate weapon. Also, because the weapon is powered by a motor, it constantly emits a humming noise that enemies can hear.
Although it has a great rate of fire, the Spitfire lacks in range and accuracy.
