Sidearms

I personally feel that most of these guns aren't worth having. But if you like them, well....


Warthog

The Warthog is an OK gun. It shoot the smaller darts (I've labelled them Type 1. They are also known as Rip Rockets) a pretty fair distance. It is able to shoot two darts at one time, which is a bonus, but it doesn't have the greatest range. If you are going to buy one of the small Sidearms, go for either this one, the Auto Grip, or the Secret Shot.

Detonator

I'll lay it on the line for you. This gun is a worthless piece of junk! You have to put the thing down on the ground (or another surface), aim it, and then smash the plunger down. How useless can you get?!! This is probably the most pathetic gun ever made by Nerf.

Hidden Shot

This gun is not bad. It has good range for it's size, and not horrible accuracy. If you want a palm-sized gun for last minute survival, this is probably the gun you want to have.

Wrist Blitzer

This gun is quite practical. You can keep in on your wrist until you need it. It is light, small, and accurate at short range. Unfortunately, it can only use one type of dart. It is not meant for use at long distances. Overall, not bad, but I prefer the Autogrip.

RocketStorm

Decent accuracy, OK range, this is probably the best for its size. It is similar to the Blast Hammer in form and function, but it is able to carry and extra three darts loaded and ready to go. It is not a true repeater -- you have to turn the barrel manually. Still, quite good as these types go.

Blast Hammer

This is a pretty useless gun. It has a range that is no greater than 25 feet (and even that is pushing it) and the accuracy is basically non-existant. It's not bad for its size, but you can easily do without it.

Auto Grip

The Auto Grip is one of many guns in the Cyber Stryke series. I do not suggest buying this gun (big surprise -- Idon't suggest buying any gun in this section). It has almost OK range, but poor accuracy, and can only hold one dart. The only good thing about this gun is it's ability to flip down and allow you to hold other guns as well. This can make it useful when you are holding other guns.

Secret Shot

The Secret Shot is the most powerful micro dart shooter. It is able to fire a dart from the main barrel and from a hidden barrel in the handle. To be truthful, the second barrel is really quite useless, but the main barrel is excellent. The ability to shoot more than one shot only works once. If you buy this gun, it shoots quite high, so you need to get used to it. An excellent supplementary weapon.

Lock N' Load

The Nerf Lock N' Load, part of the new HyperSight line, is one of the best guns to come out this year. It has excellent range, especially considering it's size, and has yet to fail me. An excellent weapon to have as a backup, this gun is very dependable. For 10 bucks, it's quite a deal.

Expand-a-blast

No picture available

This is another of the HyperSight line. It is not one of the best guns, with less range than its cousin, the Lock N' Load. However, it is better than some of the Cyberstryke gear, so who am I to complain? Anyway, I would not recommend this gun as a first choice, but it would do in a pinch.

Triple Torch

No picture available

I wasn't sure if I should put this one under Sidearms or Medium Weapons. It has the range of some of the Medium weapons, but its size puts it in the category of sidearms. Hmm... An excellent weapon, the Triple Torch shoots far and true. Only two problems:

1. Nerf glued it

2. The small arrows' fins rip because they are not solid all the way through.

Switchfire

Yay! This gun can shoot both balls and rockets! That makes it the second-best candidate for the "Most Likely to Miss" award (first goes to the detonator). Not exactly my favourite gun, as you can see. I would only recommend this to someone I was about to fight....

Slingshot

I have this gun. I never use it. It is in good company with the detonator and the Switchfire. I got my for 1 dollar at a yard sale. I paid too much. Don't get this gun.

Don't see the gun you want? Leave a message in the Guestbook and I'll try to add your gun as soon as possible.
