Can the ballzooka fire the newer green nerf ballistic balls? I know obviously that it can fire the older yellow ones.

But do the green ones improve/decrease range or do they not fire at all?

Thanks

yeah, they're just a different color.

even better is to go buy practice foam golf balls from a superstore or a sporting good store, you'll get more and they'll be cheaper.

Update, after long searching I found 3 green nerf balls!

But.... They DO NOT fire out of the ballzooka.....

So Keks, are you just making this up or what?

Older nerf ball blasters are not able to fire the current issue green ballistic balls. If you use a calipher for fine measuring or just eyeball the yellow and green balls, you will notice that the green ones are slightly bigger in size. It may appear that the size difference is no big deal, but guns like the Ballzooka, Master Blaster, and the Pulsator can't fire them. More often than not, they will get wedged at the tip of the barrel, forcing you to, at times, pry them out with a screwdriver or another tool. Other ballguns like the Blast-A-Ball, Blast-A-Matic, and the MP-150 Motorized Ballzooka can fire the green balls. It sems that the mechanical plunger operated blasters can't use them and the ramrod and motorized ones can.

Keks, you obviously have not seen this in action or tried it out for yourself. If you had, you would have known that the answer was no way in hell. Also, the practice golf balls are smaller than the old yellow balls, so they will work, but they aren't as durable and ranges will be lower due to the lack of a good seal.

The only other balls that will work in the older blasters are the blue balls that cane with the Air-Tech Ball Blaster and the purple ones that came out as refill packs way back when the only ball guns were the Blast-A-Ball and the Blast-A-Matic.
