TeamNC review (1997 era)
The Nerf Venom Shot is a great weapon for its relatively small size. Most of the Max Force 2112 weapons appeal to small kids because they are shaped like "fierce" animals. When the kids actually try to fire the weapons, they realize that they are hard to aim and don't fire well.The Venom Shot is one of the few guns that contradicts this stereotypical image of the Max Force 2112 line of weapons. It has a relatively good range for a micro dart gun. In addition to this, the trigger on the weapon makes it more accurate. The Nerf Venom Shot is also one of the few weapons in which the barrel is also the cocking device. The benefit of this feature is that it makes the weapon quicker to reload.
The only drawback of this weapon is that the fold-down handle is designed for younger kids with small hands. This makes it difficult for older Nerf warriors to hold this weapon.
The Venom Shot is a good buy for a micro dart weapon, but it may be wiser to buy a more traditional gun.
