TeamNC review (1998 era)

The Koosh Vortex Tornado is almost every sniper's dream. The weapon has an incredible maximum distance, superior to most Nerf weapons. In addition to this, the weapon has satisfactory accuracy. The Koosh Vortex Tornado has a very poor rate of fire. The is caused by two basic factors. First, the Spinfire ring must be placed over the barrel facing a specific direction, or it will not fire. Second, there is a cover over the barrel that makes it difficult to insert the ring.

If you love to snipe, the Koosh Vortex Tornado is a must-buy.
