Nerf Backlash Review

The Nerf Backlash is designed to be mounted, which isn’t a terrible idea in itself. But unfortunately Nerf decided to use suction cups for the mounting mechanism. If you have ever used a suction cup before, you know that they stick to windows…and that’s about it. So basically, if there isn’t a sheet of glass lying around, you’re out of luck.

The idea behind the Nerf Backlash is that you can mount this thing somewhere, pull a cord, and laugh as you ambush your enemies. As I said, it’s a good idea, but in practicality it doesn’t work so well.

Not only do you have to get the Nerf Backlash mounted, you also have to have it lined up perfectly in advance, and hope that you don’t pull it off the window when you pull the string.

You know, it would be a whole lot easier just to jump out from around the corner and hit your friends with a standard Nerf blaster…
