The Punisher Gatling Blaster is a 2010 Air Zone Gatling Gun that holds 30 Air Zone Slugs. It is very similar to the Vulcan EBF-25, in the fact that they are both belt-fed blasters and are automatic. It spawned a tinier brother called the Dart Zone Gatling Blaster. It is a Toys 'R' Us exclusive, and can only be purchased there along with the rest of the Air Zone line.
Description
The Air Zone Punisher Gatling Blaster is a motorized Gatling dart blaster that has a full auto-rotating barrel with realistic rapid-fire and Gatling sound. Hold down the power trigger for full auto fire to shoot 30 darts in 20 seconds! It also has a stabilizing support arm and power grip handle for maximum rapid fire control and an ammo breech cover that ensures steady, reliable firing. The Air Zone Punisher Gatling Blaster comes with a 30-dart ammo belt.
Review
Description - The Punisher Gatling Blaster is a Vulcan EBF-25 clone that holds 30 instead of 25 darts. It runs on the same kind of belt, but you cannot purchase refill packs of chains yet. It offers room for improvement for example: combining of 2 belts, slimer design, and possible modification.
Range - 8/10 - It gets 30-40 feet with every shot, 5 more than the Vulcan does.
Accuracy - 8/10 - Its accuracy is the same as the vulcan because both are belt-fed.
Reliability - 7/10 - There are a few accounts of the blaster breaking.This is because of manufacturing problems. It's range is also consistant unlike most vulcans that usually fire only about 15-20 ft. on a bad day.
Rate - 5/10 - It fires 30 darts in 20 seconds which is slow for an automatic blaster and you still have to go get those darts through a long reloading time.
Overall - 8.75/10 - Better than the vulcan in terms of range and reliablility but suffers in a slower rate of fire. Depending on the circumstances, the Punisher is better than a vulcan but in obstacle filled battles that don't require long range, the vulcan could get the upper hand. Overall, better than the Vulcan.
