Nerf Vulcan EBF-25

Nerf Nstrike Vulcan

The Nerf N-Strike Vulcan EBF-25 is the biggest of the New Nerf Guns. It gives you the auto-blasting advantage when you're at foam-filled war with your friends and enemies. Children and adults ages 6 and up will love the Nerf Vulcan, the largest full auto blaster that Nerf makes. It lets you shoot 25 sonic micro darts at up to 3 darts per second for an offensive assault.

The first thing we noticed when we took the Nerf Vulcan out of the box was how substantial it was. The Nerf Gun itself was large, brightly colored in yellow and orange, and heavy enough for it to be a burden for quick missions; accessories included a tripod, ammobox, and ammobelt.

The instruction booklet did a good job of describing the assembly process, which took about ten minutes. There is a handle that allows you to easily carry the gun around, but we would have appreciated a strap even more.

The darts are held inside an ammobox in a 25-shot belt, which is fed through the gun witch is longer the most of the Nerf Guns but it is a very easy process. You'll feel like Rambo when you carry the gun, or sit it on its tripod for taking out enemies by the bucketload.

After we'd installed the required six D batteries (not included), we pulled the trigger to see the gun work methodically through our belt of darts. It took only 10 seconds to blast through the included 25 Nerf Guns darts, flinging them thirty feet across the room. We wished there were more darts included in the box since it seemed a bit silly that we needed to spend a few minutes to pick up the ammo, and then reload them onto the belt, after shooting for only about ten seconds.

A refill pack can be purchased separately, which, we think, would be a wise investment if you want to effectively beat your enemies.

The gun also has a single-shot mode that lets you shoot with extra precision. Rather than battery powered, you have to pull back on a spring-loaded lever, and then use the trigger release lever to shoot the Nerf Guns dart. In our experience, you can achieve a little bit more distance this way than with the auto-fire mode.
