Nerf Wiki:Reviewing
Talk46this wiki
The reviewing system is an organized rating system for the Nerf Wiki. Here below is how dart blasters and Super Soakers should be properly rated. The ratings can only be even numbers (no decimals) in order to get it a simple final verdict for the product.
Important notice: Reviews of Super Soakers and all dart blasters will now be done on a separate page and will be locked from editing. Users may post suggestions for revisions to reviews in the article's talk page. Personal reviews will only be allowed on personal pages, such as user pages, blog posts, and forum topics.

Rules on rating
Nerf blasters
Rating a Nerf blaster ultimately depends on the blaster's "size". Sizes help to decide what justifies a perfect 10 score with firing range, rate of fire, and capacity. The three sizes are:
- Small
- Medium
- Large
Normal rules
- Accuracy
The accuracy rating is and should be based on if the weapon's ammo turns and bends to a different direction or if it goes straight on course to the desired target.
- 0: Never on course
- 2: Off target by three feet
- 4: Off target by two feet
- 6: Off target by one feet
- 8: Goes off target every once and a while
- 10: It goes straight every time
- Reliability
The reliability rating is based on the functionality of the blaster. Any difficulties in using the weapon, including jamming, breaking, holding, or shooting problems, should also be mentioned here.
- 0: It is difficult to use every time
- 2: It is frequently difficult to use
- 4: It is difficult to use sometimes
- 6: It is difficult to use a few times
- 8: It is rarely difficult to use
- 10: It is not difficult to use at all
Size rules
Small
Small blasters are blasters often considered secondaries or last resort blasters. They can be held with just one hand.
- Firing range
The firing range of the blaster.
- 2: Fifteen feet
- 4: Twenty feet
- 6: Twenty-five feet
- 8: Thirty feet
- 10: Thirty-five feet and above
- Rate of fire
The rate of fire rating should be based on how many darts it can fire in about one second.
- 3: One dart per two seconds
- 6: One dart per second
- 10: Two or more darts per second
- Capacity
- 2: Holds one dart
- 4: Holds two darts
- 6: Holds three darts
- 8: Holds four darts
- 10: Holds five or more darts
Medium
Medium blasters are blasters that are physically larger than smaller blasters. They often are manually primed and fired and are very mobile.
- Firing range
The firing range of the blaster.
- 0: Below twenty feet
- 2: Twenty feet
- 4: Twenty-five feet
- 6: Thirty feet
- 8: Thirty-five feet
- 10: Forty feet and above
- Rate of fire
The rate of fire rating should be based on how many darts it can fire in about one second.
- 3: Two darts per second
- 6: Three dart per second
- 10: Four or more darts per second
- Capacity
Regarding clip system blasters and magazine-fed blasters, the blaster should only be reviewed with the packaged clip, magazine, or drum. A blaster cannot be automatically given a 10 just because it can switch out its packaged clip for a larger clip.
- 2: Holds five or less darts
- 4: Holds six darts
- 6: Holds seven darts
- 8: Holds nine darts
- 10: Holds ten or more darts
Large
Large blasters are blasters that are usually the physically largest. Often they are powered by battery.
- Firing range
The firing range of the blaster.
- 0: Below twenty-five feet
- 2: Twenty-five feet
- 4: Thirty feet
- 6: Thirty-five feet
- 8: Forty feet
- 10: Forty-five feet and above
- Rate of fire
The rate of fire rating should be based on how many darts it can fire in about one second.
- 3: One dart per second or less
- 6: Two darts per second
- 10: Three or more darts per second
- Capacity
Regarding clip system blasters and magazine-fed blasters, the blaster should only be reviewed with the packaged clip, magazine, or drum. A blaster cannot be automatically given a 10 just because it can switch out its packaged clip for a larger clip.
- 2: Holds twelve or less darts
- 4: Holds fourteen darts
- 6: Holds sixteen darts
- 8: Holds eighteen darts
- 10: Holds twenty or more darts
Final score
This should be calculated by the numbers of the five ratings divided by five for the categories to find the average score of the blaster. This is the only rating that can have a decimal value.
Example :8+6+0+10+10=34/5=6.8
This is followed by discussing the blaster's strong and weak points and whether it is recommended or not to be purchased.
Super Soakers
Like Nerf blasters, rating a Super Soaker or water blaster ultimately depends on the blaster's "size". Sizes help to decide what justifies a perfect 10 score with firing range, rate of fire, and capacity. The three sizes are:

Normal rules

- 4: Off target by two feet
- 6: Off target by one feet
- 8: Goes off target every once and a while

- 4: It is difficult to use sometimes
- 6: It is difficult to use a few times
