Players should still be careful when aiming and firing the balls to avoid hitting others in sensitive areas such as the face or eyes. Every time I whip out one of the cool canisters, which smartly attach to each blaster’s built-in rails, I inevitably dump a bunch of them on the ground, because the loading doors and flip-top canister don’t match up at all. This is all a shame, because in many ways these Hyper balls are the best projectiles Nerf’s made in years.
