I am saddened to announce the passing of one of the greats of film, none other than the Great Khan Noonien Singh; Ricardo Montalbán, who passed away today at the age of 88, initial reports coming out of California state that the film great died as result of old age. As a Star Trek fan from time immemorial, I am deeply saddened, as he was one of the greatest villains in Star Trek…though in reality, he doesn’t have much competition, (Sure Shinzon was a villain, but he wasn’t evil enough,)
This news has put a downer on my major news of the day, that being that of my Vulcan’s unboxing and first fire, all of which I had recorded as per promised, I am still going to include the video, as well as my review of it, well I’m hoping to, Telstra has killed my Bandwidth, so it will probably not happen this month.
Ok, the Video won’t be up right away, the upload is taking too long. I will be providing the video later on. So now I will be including my Review of the Nerf Vulcan minigun.
Nerf Vulcan EBF-25 Minigun
When I unwrapped the brown paper wrapping that contained the Vulcan, I was almost giddy, which is odd, though well deserved considering how long it took me to find this thing, and have it shipped to me. After being unable to fully experience the Vulcan since yesterday was my mother’s birthday. However, today was a different day, so I was fully able to put the Vulcan to its paces.
The darn thing is incredibly heavy, even without the 6 D Batteries, overall it is easily twice as heavy as the Longshot, though that seems to be entirely the motor. While I haven’t really lugged it around that much so I really can’t complain about its weight, though I can say that the Longshot is definitely a lot easier to carry around.
Lengthwise, it’s about halfway between the Longshot and the Recon, and it’s about the two of them combined in width. Compared to the other long rifles in my collection, the Vulcan is the least configurable, lacking the ability to extend the barrel. While it possesses three tactical rails, they are located in obscure places limiting their use.
The Vulcan’s range is the equivalent to the Longshot, however, it lacks the punch that the Longshot has, most of the 25 rounds fired from the Vulcan only made the same range because they skidded, whereas the Longshot’s rounds made it there in full.
Overall the Vulcan is an excellent Nerf Gun, and while it has an impressive rate of fire when powered, getting 6 D Cell batteries to recharge it is prohibitively expensive, while it lacks the stopping power of the Longshot or Recon, it makes up for it in rate of fire.
I’m going to start reviewing things more often, so I’ll start doing that soon
