The successor to the original Nerf Blast-A-Ball was the second generation Nerf Blast-A-Matic. The BAM had one distinct difference from its predecessor; a spring loaded firing chamber which could store up to 3 Nerf balls.
The weapon was met with mixed reviews. Operators loved the 3 ball capacity and the rapid fire ability. It made for an excellent close quarters choice, both offensively and defensively. It also allowed operators to travel further and farther without having to reload.
Despite those successes, the three ball chamber was also one of the weapons weak points. As balls were fired, each subsequent shot would have less power then the previous shot due to pressure dropping in the chamber as balls were released. This meant your third shot would fire very differently then your first. On the open backyard battlefield this meant the Blast-A-Matic was less powerful and less accurate.
Not my first choice in battle, but not a bad overall selection.
