TeamNC review (1994 era)
The Mattel Ultimator is has a superior range over anything that Hasbro could make. The weapon can fire a massive 120 feet! In addition to this, the size and noise that weapon makes when firing will strike fear into anybody's heart. It is probably better to have this weapon for show but not to ever fire it.When the Ultimator is fired, its major problem is revealed. The Ultimator has no accuracy. It is almost impossible to hit a target from twenty feet away. Also, the Ultimator has an extremely poor rate of fire. This makes it almost impossible to reload the weapon during a Nerf war.
For a long-range, huge weapon, nothing beats the Ultimator.
