Nerf VORTEX review- Vigilon

Nerf's VORTEX line strays from the original dart guns, and makes your favorite dart gun look like GARBAGE. Today, we'll be reviewing the Vigilon.
Retail price (USD): approx $14.99-$19.99
It can be found at most major retailers.

The Vigilon is the second smallest VORTEX gun, next to the Proton, which is smallest and is about the size of the Nite Finder EX-3.

Cocking mechanism: The cocking mech is slide action, and is located at the far back of the gun.

Loading: There is a small orange switch at the back of the gun. Push it down, and then a "secret" chamber will open. Load all five discs into it. This reminds me of PEZ dispensers. Sometimes you have to fight to get them in straight.

Overall, this gun is worth the money!

Range: AMAZING! 55-80 feet. (10/10)
Accuracy: Sometimes it's accurate, but sometimes not because the projectiles are aerodynamic, and if you were to be playing outside, the wind could change the disc's direction. I recommend playing indoors. (7/10)
Reliability: Sometimes you have to fight to get the discs in straight, the gun is only compatible with XLR discs, and the disc never jam. (9/10)
Rate: Since they are discs, like Frisbees, enemies can dodge or run quickly while the disc is in flight. Loading takes a while, too. (9/10)
Capacity: 5 discs. Average. (8/10)

FINAL GRADE: C-


This gun's only pro is its accuracy. Although it's a great dart (I mean, disc) gun, I would recommend something else higher.
