Amazon.com Review
The Nerf N-Strike Vulcan EBF-25 gives you the auto-blasting advantage when you're at foam-filled war with your friends and enemies. Children and adults ages 6 and up will love the EBF-25, the largest full auto blaster that Nerf makes. It lets you shoot 25 sonic micro darts at up to 3 darts per second for an offensive assault.  | What We Think
Fun Factor: 
Durability: 
(what this means)
The Good: Machine gun-style Nerf gun fires multiple shots per second
The Bad: The included 25 darts run out fast; gun is a bit too heavy for running around with
In a Nutshell: A great addition to any Nerf artillery, the Vulcan EVF-25 provides an advantage thanks to the sheer force of shooting 25 darts in ten seconds | At a Glance Ages: 6 and up
Requires: 6 D batteries

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 (pretty much, there is a bit of reloadability)
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 attatched
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 definately 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"
Best nef gun ever! October 1, 2008

My grandson, son and I all love this latest and best Nerf gun. Because it's electrically powered it's the easiest Nerf gun to modify. To see how I increased its range, rate of fire and appearance, please log onto a web page created for this gun at: http://www.waynesthisandthat.com/dm3000.htm.
Best Nerf gun yet! October 12, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This gun is very cool! My son got it and he loves it! He plays with it for hours and he loves playing against friends and siblings in what they call "nerf wars". It annoys me with all the bullets around my house and I recommend getting the value pack, with extra bullets and the shoulder strap. But I highly recommend getting it. I even find it a little entertaining!
The ultimate in office wartime cover fire delivery September 25, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
There are a number of people that have made office nerf war reviews for this and other guns, and I will happily follow suit. Good god, is this ever a great toy! If god loves action movies (and I'm sure he does) then this was his idea. I have yet to meet anyone in this office, toy lover or not, that hasn't been blown away by the sheer visual impact of the vulcan... and then I pull the trigger.
Wouldn't suggest this for little kids, I can see it breaking and jamming under less careful play, but it is a gem none the less!
The Vulcan passes the test September 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.
