Nerf Stinging Scarab

The Nerf Stinging Scarab is a silly little weapon. Like other Max Force 2112 weapons, this Nerf gun is shaped like an animal. The shape adds nothing to the functionality, and in fact is quite a hindrance, especially if your hands are larger than an eight-year-old’s.

One of the most unfortunate aspects of the Stinging Scarab is that it doesn’t have a trigger, the absence of which always leads to poor accuracy.

The other unfortunate aspect of the Stinging Scarab is that you look like a world class toolbag while holding it. There’s no reason to ever own this Nerf gun, unless you have some kind of twisted fascination with large winged insects or the Mummy movies.

Nerf Razor Fin

The Nerf Razor Fin is a decent Nerf gun (it’s a pain to mod, though). It can be a bit awkward to fire with the cocking mechanism at the bottom of the handle and the trigger on the back, but the alternating barrel semi-automatic action somewhat makes up for the difficulty of handling the Razor Fin.

The Razor Fin boasts above range and accuracy for a gun its size, but it’s hard to recommend given the quirkiness of its design.

Nerf Laser Fang

The Nerf Laser Fang is the upgrade to the Nerf Eagle Eye, in that the range and accuracy were improved over its predecessor.

Nerf also decided to add a little hand shield to the Laser Fang, which is too bad, seeing as it’s crazy annoying and falls off all the time. Thankfully, you can always choose not to put it back on, but it’s easy to wonder what the use of the shield was in the first place.

Nerf Electric Eel

The Nerf Electric Eel is a cool looking blaster, what with the teeth and all. The Electric Eel also lights up a little bit when you shoot it, and the darts are coated in some material that makes them glow in the dark.

The problem is the gun itself isn’t very good, but the Nerf Electric Eel is still a fun toy to play with.

Nerf Coral Viper

I’ll be the first to admit that I hate all the Nerf guns that look like animals. I just don’t know what they were thinking. So it is with a little bit of prejudice that I say the Nerf Coral Viper is a steaming pile of crap.

First of all, it looks like a snake. There’s supposed to be an element of surprise when the snake’s head pops up and shoots you in the face. Ok, that works what, once? At the most? I mean, it says NERF on it for God’s sakes. Last time I checked, Nerf doesn’t make plastic animals unless those plastic animals are about to show you what’s what with a dart to the forehead.

So not only is the Nerf Coral Viper a silly gimmick, it’s also a horrible gun. It’s difficult to load, it shoots about 4 inches, and yet somehow you’ll be lucky to hit within a foot of your target.

The Coral Viper defies physics.
