Review: Vulcan EBF-25

The Vulcan is a Light Machine gun from Nerf. It usually costs around 40-50 dollars and runs on 6 D batteries.

First up, the body. It's meant to be fired at the waist, since the pisol grip is at the very rear. The carrying handle is perpendicular to the gun itself. Firing it like a SAW does not feel right, as the grip is too far back to hold the barrel comfortably. The barrel is ridiculously wide; I am able to fit 3 whistlers at once. This causes the majority of jams for me.

Next we have the attachments. The ammo belt seems a bit short, at 25 rounds. This is not that good, as Light Machine guns are supposed to be able to suppress the enemy for long periods of time. The ammo box is very useful, allowing greater mobility, albeit with a longer reload time. The tripod is a nice feature, and is removable.

The ranges are not very consistent, and I did not feel like measuring because of that. The accuracy is also sub-par, but for an LMG this does not matter.

Last, we have the modding potential. As this is a Light Machine Gun and meant for suppressing fire, ranges do not matter. This is more of a fear weapon, and Voltage and Aesthetic mods increase the fear output. This gun has lots of potential if you're good with wiring and painting.

I'm ditching the number system. Umad bro?
