This review is from: NERF N-STRIKE Vulcan EBF-25 Value Pack (Toy)
It was getting to be a pretty nasty furball. Enemy cubicle factions had been gaining ground, and it was becoming steadily more and more difficult to deny them entry into the critical software development lab. Sadly, we were losing ground daily due to the fact that the enemy forces were freshly infused with cheap, easy to maintain, hand-held weapons. In order to combat our well-armed adversaries, something had to be done. The last area-denial system was not effective. The new-fangled USB foam missile launcher system we had previously installed to address the threat simply could not fire accurately enough, and was no match for the sustained fire of the Evil Horde's many N-Strike Mavericks and Longshots.
Enter the Vulcan. This tripod-mounted terror was just what the doctor ordered. Mounted behind my desk with a clear view of the doorway and connecting hallway, this beast struck terror into the horde even before the first shot. The obvious psy-ops advantage was due to this machine's sheer enormity. This baby is long, tall, heavy, and plain scary-looking. I'd say it catches the eye. This thing is the color of nightmares. The Vulcan's color scheme was obviously decided upon by a escaped mental patient that used to work in a candy corn factory. Its aesthetics leave a bit to be desired. But its performance? Pure dart-slinging glory. The unboxing and setup of the weapon was a snap. Back at the ranch, and far from the foamy stench of the battlefield, I ran the Vulcan through it's test paces. Initially I was not impressed. Three rounds, then jam. Over and over. Just as I was about to give up, I realized the problem. The darts were brand new, and the rubber tips were incredibly clean, and more than a little tacky. They weren't releasing from the belts properly, thereby jamming the Vulcan. I imagine a few more belts of fire through it would have done the trick, but being impatient, I sprayed the belt down with a touch of Pam cooking spray. Now, if one of the dreaded Horde so much as stick their nose around the corner they get 3 shots per second of whistling, foamy death. No jams, no worries. As far as performance, it's got mediocre range and accuracy. However, the sustained rate of fire makes this a non-issue. I can afford to miss with a dart or two, as many, many more are right on its heels. I am proud to say that this weapon has effectively curtailed the enemy incursions into our exclusion zone, and has allowed our troops to go from area denial to aggressive raiding, thereby pushing the enemy lines back to beyond the conference room. We have regained our pride and our territory. Thanks Vulcan!

NERF N-STRIKE MAVERICK,RECON & VULCAN,

MAVERICK and RECON are available now in Japan, and MAVERICK is popular very much in particular in Japan. The other items such as VULCAN wanted you to release it by all means in Japan and made this video. I do not understand whether fun comes on this video well, but am glad when I have you be interested.

Let me start by saying, if this thing worked as advertised, it would be amazing. I'd give them to adults I know as gifts. However, the plain fact is the Nerf Vulcan has serious quality control/design issues. The reviews on the other amazon entry for this product complaining about the jams etc are not flukes. It would be cool if it worked, it doesn't.
Xmas morning, half a belt run through it and it is down for the count. The cocking mechanism no longer works, the belt won't advance. Return it to the store for an exchange. 3 shots with the new one and it is down for the count. Cocking mechanism no longer works, the belt won't advance. Being an FFL and someone who works with real guns, including building them, I am kind of frustrated and go to customer service with Hasbro thinking "surely there is some trick to this." No help trouble shooting from Hasbro, just apologies and "we've had lots of problems, please box it and send it back." 4 weeks later I get a nice letter saying they are out of stock and cannot replace our gun. Here we are, 2 months after xmas, and we still have not received what we paid for. The gee whiz factor of this gun would be immense if the thing actually worked. The unavoidable truth is the gun simply does not work. If you got one that runs, hold onto it with both hands and baby it, because you seem to have the exception and not the rule. Nerf, you owe your public a tangible apology for this mess.
