Disk Launcher for Moving Target Practice
Don't settle for stationary targets! The durable, hard plastic disk launcher stores up to 12 foam disks for moving target practice. A wireless remote cartridge that attaches to the top of the blaster lets you control when to send the disk flying. When the "launch" button is pressed, the disk launcher commences a beeping countdown with three lights so you can get ready to shoot. But there's more. With two different height settings, you can shoot the disk seven or nine feet. You can also launch the disks at multiple angles: straight up, or 45 degrees to the right or left.

Fast and Accurate Blaster Gun
The blaster gun shoots micro darts with speed and accuracy. Made with sturdy yellow, black, and silver plastic, the blaster has a contoured handle with a loop for hanging the gun when not in use. Equipped with six darts, the blaster stores five darts at the front of the gun and one in the barrel. To shoot, simply draw back the bright orange cocking mechanism, pull the trigger, and watch it fly. The wireless remote features a fin on top for quick aiming. With rubber-like plastic tips, the foam darts stick hard to the durable disk targets. To increase the challenge, there's a target on both sides of the foam disks and, with a yellow and black side, the disks can be loaded for day or nighttime use.

Put to the Test
The game combinations are virtually endless. With a score card for target hits, the N-Strike Disk Shot lets you compete against a friend or play against your own best records. The only downsides to the Disk Shot are the noise of the launcher and the multiple angle settings. The fan engine sound is enough to bother parents, but not enough to stop the fun for kids. And when we positioned at a 45-degree angle, our test disk launcher got stuck in that position. While it could be forcibly adjusted, it is probably not good for the disk launcher.

The disk launcher is compatible with other N-Strike blasters. The wireless remote attaches to any blaster with a rail system. Two "AAA" batteries (sold separately) are required for the wireless remote. There's also an expansion pack available for the N-Strike Disk Shot that includes a Disk Shot blaster, six foam disks, and six micro darts.

What's in the Box
N-Strike Disk Shot blaster, disk launcher, wireless remote, 6 foam disks and 6 micro darts.

My son is a huge fan of Nerf products and this one is no exception. Be warned, the unit that shoots the disks is a little bit loud, but its really simple to use and my son has had tons of fun playing with it. My 55 year old father even has fun with it!!! LOL

Everyone wants a turn. The disks shoot out great. Definetly need to buy extra disks, guns and darts because everyone wants to play.

My 9 year old loved it for a couple of days. The remote control must have gotten lost quickly, because I never saw it. A whole bunch of batteries were needed.

I bought this for my nephew's 11th birthday. I don't see my brother's kids often, so I had no idea whether this would be something an outdoors-loving, sports-playing young electronics addict would enjoy. Two days after it arrived my brother called to tell me that it works perfectly, the discs fly pretty far (for indoors) and that the whole family was having a blast with it.

I purchased this Nerf game for my 12 year old son. It is really pretty cool and he and I have spent about 15 minutes on several occasions playing with it.
The first issue that we had was our 8 foot tall ceilings are not high enough for the product. Perhaps 10 or 12 feet are needed. We solved this by placing the product down in a stairwell with lots of clearance. We stood at the top of the stairwell and fired from there. In this arrangement, the disks were often at eye level or slightly below when we were firing. Also, we had to learn to track the path of the disk with the gun and fire near the top of the height of the disk.
The disk launcher can fire straight up or at a variable angle. Straight up worked fine for us. The variable angle would tend to hit the wall. One cool thing is that the height of the disk is intentionally varied to make this more challenging.
To start the disk, there is an IR (infrared) remote control mounted on the top of the gun. Press this button and the disk launcher starts a countdown process with a progression of beeps. When the disk is launched, try to follow its path from the launcher using the gun and then fire at the top of the arc. If I am careful, I can hit the disks about half the time. The darts are designed to stick to the disks, but that does not happen very often. This is not really a problem, but it would be cool if they stuck to the disks.
This product is very safe, however, you want to make sure that your child knows not to shoot someone in the face. You could do some eye damage at close range. Otherwise, you can safely take a hit a point blank range as my son and I often do.
This is a challenging and fun game and I highly recommend it.
Thanks
