Zap Snaps

The Zap Snaps is a Nerf blaster that was released in 1992 under the Original Nerf name.

It comes packaged with two Zap Snaps rockets.

Details
The Zap Snaps is a slingshot-style blaster; it is merely a handle and has no real internals. Its unique ammunition is stretched back by hand once attached on the hook at the top and released to be fired. The loop can be adjusted by pushing it either upwards or downwards until it hits the position where it cannot be moved any further.

History
After its initial release, the Zap Snaps was pulled from the market, due to a potential safety hazard. It was thought that the piece which holds the rocket in place could cause serious damage if it were to be jabbed at certain parts of the body, such as the eyes. Other concerns included the rubberband which helps fire the rockets injuring people. Few blasters have surfaced online, thanks to its extremely short shelf life.
