- Is it a real working blaster or just a model?
- It works. It fires the small foam darts included with it using the same spring mechanism as the full-size Shockwave, scaled down.
- Does it need batteries?
- No. It is entirely spring-powered, so there is nothing to charge or replace.
- What darts does it use?
- It uses the miniature darts made for the World's Smallest Nerf line, not standard Nerf Elite darts. Keep the included darts, since full-size darts will not fit.
- Is it safe for an 8-year-old?
- The packaging rates it for ages 8 and up. The darts are very small, so keep it away from younger children and pets.
- How does it compare with a full-size Shockwave RD-15?
- It looks like the Shockwave but is far smaller, holds fewer darts and shoots much shorter distances. Buy it as a collectible or novelty, not for backyard battles.
- Where is the Oriental Trading World's Smallest Nerf Blaster Series 2 Shockwave RD-15 cheapest?
- At Best Buy, for $15.99, as of our latest check.
