Like all other blasters, the {{PAGENAME}} has its faults. The main fault of the {{PAGENAME}} is its staggeringly low ammunition capacity of only one disc. This will annoy most people as they will have to reload the blaster '''extremely''' often. Another main problem with the blaster is its range; it only hits around thirty feet, which by itself, okay for a [[N-Strike]] blaster, but bad by most modern standards, due to [[N-Strike Elite]], [[Air Warriors Extreme]], [[BOOMco]] and [[Vortex]] blasters usually hitting sixty to seventy feet; a blaster that fires only thirty feet when compared to this standard is terrible.
