Full Auto Design Gives You a Quick-Firing Advantage
The first thing we noticed when we took the EBF-25 out of the box was how substantial it was. The 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. 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 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 dart. In our experience, you can achieve a little bit more distance this way than with the auto-fire mode. Tactical Rail System Allows for Fun Additions
The Vulcan EBF-25 features the Nerf Tactical Rail System, allowing it to use most N-Strike accessories, such as the night vision Tactical light accessory for night-time missions. For those interested in Nerf-fights, the Vulcan EBF-25 should be in everyone's artillery; the rapid-fire design gives players the advantage when engaging the enemy, and is ideal when it can be used on the back of a moving vehicle, or a stationary setting.

okay, lemmi just say how awesome this thing is
it is rediculously awesome
okay, now then, to the meat of the matter
pluses
this gun is rediculously awesome
it comes with two belts (and is in fact out now, my dad and i bought two from hasbro toys and they arrived july 29
i've yet to use them in our uber nerf war campaign, but my recent Vulcan on Vulcan battle with my dad has yeilded the following
rate of fire is staggering, this baby can lay down five more rounds than the rapid twenty, allowing for considerably longer bursts, given that it fires at roughly 3 darts per second
reload is on par with the longshot for ease and speed of reload, you just pull up the chamber hatch and put in the new belt, you don't even need to remove the old one, it just falls out after firing the last round
despite this the rounds are very secure, one can easily pick the gun up and run around with little fear of jamming
the gun also comes with two belts, allowing fifty rounds of ammo, more than any other gun by far
this, added with it's sturdy yet manueverable tripod as well as the option to go manual (fire each round as if it were in a longshot) make this a formidable weapon, whether you've got batteries or not
now, the downsides
this thing is HUGE
i have a bit of trouble hefting it, and i'm 16 years old
you cannot tactically reload
this means you can't add new rounds to a magazine or belt after firing it, meaning if you accidentally fire, or your other belt is full, you're stuck till you empty this one (Although you can, provided you pump the manual lever just right, cycle the whole belt through the gun without cocking it...though it takes an hair-touch)
the gun is prone to jam(well, skip is more like it, since it cycles rounds with a system of pronged wheels) if you run around with the belt loose and don't have the box attached. in fact, without the box you're pretty much screwed trying to run with this thing (forget what you saw on the Great Office War people)
and lastly, the D batteries (6 of them!) are really what make this gun, and without them, your stuck with a big long shot
however, all these problems can easily be overcome (well, except for the weight issue, so don't expect your little six year old to be running around like rambo)
and as such, this gun is beyond awesome, but definitely not worth $80, go to hasbro and buy it for 40, or if you can wait just wait till amazon "comes out" with it
to sum up
"this here is 66 tons of straight up, Hellfire spewin, dee-vine intervention" |

| All the other reviews say this gun jams or it doesn't work and such. Those reviews lie are lies. The gun isn't messed up. The instructions are. First, put the batteries in upside down. Second, instead of feeding the bullets into the ammo box from the right, do it from the left. It is a fantastic gun. GET THE VULCAN!!!!! |
What fun for my sons! We bought two, love them.

After a full busy day of play, these guns were the clear Christmas day hit. They played with them all day. Between the two guns we had no jamming issues or belt drive failures as others have reported. It is really incredible and funny to see these things raining down a h*llfire of darts down upon someone, or knocking over a tower of plastic cups.
The tripod does snap off somewhat easily, but I think it is a safety design feature-- if a kid runs with the gun and falls, you want the tripod to fall off.
The guns are quite heavy and big, but that too seems to be part of the attraction.
UPDATE: Well, it is February, and they play with these about every other day, and they are still operating fine. So I'd say there isn't a quality issue with the gun we got. |

If the Ammo belt for this gun jams, it may be because you put the belt in upside down. The NERF side( It says NERF on one side, not the other) **MUST** be up, otherwise a damaging jam occurs. This may be the cause of the jam problem some people are experiencing.
Hope this helps |
The Vulcan passes the test

We decided to add two Vulcan to the arsenal. After shelling out the $40 + $7 or batteries, and some assembly required; we got our first crack at it.
Both guns performed the same. It seems that the darts need a break in period. During this period they tended to jam the gun on full auto. What is the break in period you may ask? Basically you have to shoot the darts twice threw the gun. Once that happened the jammed went down to maybe once a belt, if that.
In our performance testing we found the the Vulcan shot farther than our Hasbro Nerf N-Strike Longshot CS-6, but not as far as the Hasbro Nerf N-Strike Maverick (which is still my favorite).
We did test a variety of Nerf darts including Nerf Streamline Darts for Longshot guns, 10 pack!, Hasbro Nerf Dart Tag Refill Pack: 30 Tagger Micro Darts, and the Hasbro Nerf Mega Micro Dart Pack. All of them performed the same on full auto. In single shot mode the Hasbro Nerf Mega Micro Dart Pack which came with the Vulcan performed the best.
As other review have noted this dog is heavy for a Nerf gun. My 8 year old uses the should sling to shoot from the hip, but only for short times. He uses the tripod the most.
Reload times are good and bad. The good part is that you just put in a full belt and you're ready to go. The bad is that is takes time to put 25 darts in a belt and you must had the belt to fire.
With all that said, this thing is a blast and a lot of fun. If you're looking for a Nerf weapon to up your arsenal into the WMD status, I recommend this. |
