Product Description
Need real NERF power? The NERF Reactor has the energy you need to launch a powerful blast of balls! Push the foam balls into the high-tech transparent launcher tube. Take hold of the comfortable grip handle and pull towards you. The foam balls launch out of the Reactor and speed to their target. The sleek design and awesome metallic finish give you an awesome power boost for rockin' NERF competition. Reactor comes with four soft foam balls.
Editorial Review
There is something so appealing about blasting foam balls out of a plastic gun. And when the gun looks as cool as this all-plastic Air Tech Ball Blaster from Nerf, the experience is even more gratifying. The Ball Blaster's design is quite simple, and consequently, it's very easy to use. Just push the four foam balls (included) into the launch tube, and you're loaded. When you have a target in sight, grab the front barrel handle and pull it towards you. Only one ball will fire at a time, but with a little practice you should be able to unleash a fierce volley of four foam projectiles in short order. The one we tested was surprisingly accurate and was powerful enough to cross a medium-sized room quickly. The manufacturer explicitly warns against firing the Ball Blaster at other people or animals, but the foam balls are very soft and lightweight and would probably not be fatal if one should be accidentally fired at an annoying sibling or coworker... just kidding, of course. --Chris Burns

 Great toy and lots of fun! October 9, 2008
We bought a couple of these guns for my sons birthday as we set-up a mock shooting range in the backyard for his party with 2 teams and targets for each. This gun was by far one of their favorites used. It is pretty durable and the balls shoot farther than you would think they would. They also do not hurt if you get hit with one.
It has a semi-decent aim once you get it down and they balls fly nicely through the air. You can also load a few balls at once to keep shooting. I like it better than a rapid fire gun as you have to actually aim to shoot and hit a target.
My son and his friends love this toy and play with it almost everyday.
Yee-haaa! August 7, 2008
This provides toddlers the awesome power of mini-dodge-ball-esque shoot-out fun! Perfect for 4 and 5 year olds, not perfect for 2 year-olds, mine tends to resort to hitting his brothers minus the balls! It's also pretty cool to manipulate it to shoot out 2-3 balls all at once! You can purchase additional balls separately, which you will want to, you'll find some later, in odd places while cleaning the house!
 Fun, safe, but takes some strength February 15, 2008

It's a fun toy that's not going to put out any eyes or bust up your house, but the pump-action firing mechanism seems to take a lot of upper body strength. My nieces are 4 and 6, and pretty fit for little kids. The 6-year-old can just barely muster the muscle to pop off a shot if she grits her teeth, squeeeeeeeezes 'til she's purple, and doesn't bother trying to aim at anything. The 4-year-old? Well, she's figured out that she can make it shoot if she braces the gun against the floor and pushes down. But then, more often then not, she shoots herself in the face, so it's kind of a wash.
It's a fun, safe toy, and the blue Nerf "ammo" balls are large and conspicuous enough that they're not going to get lost too easily. I'd recommended it for kids who are a little older, though. From my observations, you'd have to be one buff 6-year-old to have an easy time with this gun's pump-fire action.
Plain safe fun July 18, 2007
Although this is not a true educational toy, it is a safe way to teach children about handling a gun without them or our house being destroyed. It is a load of fun and has provided hours of delight for grandchildren and their friends at our home. It seems that shooting a gun is a natural curiosity for children and this has provided an avenue for that curiosity. Of course, the Nerf toys have always been a preference for us and so one more is always welcome. There does not seem to be an age range for this item!! Even grandpa gets in on the fun.
Useful, Depending On How You Use It December 30, 2006
The Nerf Reactor has been released, re-released, and re-re-released. Hasbro didn't change the gun when they re-released it, they just painted it a new color. The one I own is the second color scheme. Anyway, one reviewer wrote that this is bulky, however it is actually much smaller than it looks in the pictures, and is a useful sidearm. The harder and faster you pull, the harder the balls fire, so pull this thing really fast, and you'll get some good range and firepower out of it. It has a great rate of fire, and is fairly accurate, but I took away one star because smaller kids would have a VERY hard time with this thing. However, if you are at least ten years old, this will make a great sidearm, and I reccomend it. It is a very good price too, so you won't pay too much like with the Longshot CS-6.
Sincerely, Davy Jones
