The Nerf Longstrike CS6 will be released in spring of 2010. Needless to say, it looks awesome.
The Nerf Nite Finder EX-3 is a fantastic Nerf gun, and it remains a favorite among Nerf modders because of its simple internal engineering and superior accuracy.
Ultimately, the N-Strike Switch Shot EX-3 makes a fun remote to use when you want to shoot things on the Wii, but as a standalone Nerf gun it falls short.
The SuperMAXX 1500 boasts a 45 foot range with great accuracy and relatively small size. It also requires only three pumps to prime, which is fantastic given the range.
The Wildfire can shoot 20 darts rapid fire style, and it has a phenomenal max range at 50 feet. Unfortunately, it takes 45 pumps to prime the Wildfire, which really hurts (both strategically and physically).
The Nerf NB1 Missile Blaster was one of the first Nerf weapons ever made, and at the time, it was a lot of fun to play around with.
The Nerf SuperMAXX 750 is a very nice Nerf gun, especially for its time. Though it’s somewhat dated now, the SuperMAXX 750 combines great range (47 feet) and near pinpoint accuracy.
The Warthog is a spring blaster that simultaneously shoots two darts up to 35 feet with surprisingly good accuracy.
The Nerf Secret Shot 2 is a big upgrade from the original Secret Shot. It’s so much of an upgrade, in fact, that it’s almost silly that these guns share the same name.
The Nerf Switchfire is a fantastic Nerf gun — that is, if your idea of a fantastic Nerf gun is one with attachments that will launch off and kill someone with no warning.
Aside from the more contemporary look, the Nerf SuperMAXX 350 is pretty much identical to the SuperMAXX 250, and that’s too bad.
If you’re after some good gatling gun action, you can’t go wrong with the Nerf Rapid Fire!
The Nerf N-Strike Secret Strike is a tiny little gun with a solid amount of firepower for its size.
The SuperMAXX 5000 can fire balls, arrows and darts. Unfortunately, it fires both balls and arrows with lackluster range and accuracy, so there really isn’t any reason to use those weapon attachments.
Out of the box, the Nite Finder shoots darts about 35 feet with very good accuracy. If you’re into modding, replacing the barrel, removing the air restrictors and replacing the spring can easily double the range. Unbelievable for such a small Nerf blaster.
The Nerf Elimination Game comes with four tiny little blasters called “eliminators.” It’s easy to take one look and write off the blasters right away, but don’t let their small size fool you — these things pack a nice little punch (20-25 feet).
The Nerf N-Strike Disk Shot is a great way to kill some time with some friends when the weather is too crappy to go outside or your thumbs are sore from video games.
The Nerf Cyclotron is a lot of fun to play with, given its unique firing method. Just load the tube with up to 6 balls and crank the handle to shoot one ball after another.
The Nerf Crossfire is a fantastic dart gun for its size.
The Crossfire comes in four different colors (red, orange, green, and blue), and each blaster comes with a shield and goggles.
The Nerf Air Tech Ball Blaster is pretty disappointing. The range on the blaster is very limited (about 20 feet), which is just unacceptable for a pump gun.
While the range isn’t as good as you’ll get out of battery operated ball blasters like the Nerf Buzzsaw, the 20-25 foot range you’ll get out of the Atom Blaster is very solid for a spring operated ball gun.
The Nerf N-Strike Recon CS-6 is pretty cool in that it comes with five parts that you can snap on and off to customize the look and feel of your gun. The parts are mostly cosmetic, but they’re cool just the same.
The Nerf SuperMAXX 250 Dart Blaster is an upgrade to the Nerf Rocketstorm.
One of the most unfortunate aspects of the Stinging Scarab is that it doesn’t have a trigger, the absence of which always leads to poor accuracy.
The Stinger requires six pumps (at minimum) to prime a single shot. I prefer an eleven shot prime on this gun, and even then it shoots less than 25 feet. The accuracy on the Stinger is great, but it doesn’t mean a whole lot when you can’t shoot beyond your big toe.
As you may have guessed by the name of the gun, the Nerf Secret Shot features a…wait for it…secret barrel! The hidden barrel is in the handle of the gun. You can control which barrel your dart shoots out of by adjusting the ammo holder. Tilt it up to shoot out of the primary barrel, and down to shoot out of the hidden barrel.
The Nerf Sawtooth was Nerf’s first attempt at a chain gun, and…well…it was about as good as you could expect a first attempt to be.
The Nerf Ramrod was a pretty good pocket blaster in its time, though like a lot of the older Nerf guns, it’s pretty outdated now and isn’t worth chasing down.
The Nerf Slingshot is fun to play with because of its unique firing method, but its inconsistent range and poor accuracy make it a Nerf weapon that you probably never want to use in battle.
The Nerf Buzzsaw is a lot like the Nerf Ripsaw that was released way back in 1995.
The Nerf Buzzsaw is a lot like the Nerf Ripsaw that was released way back in 1995.
You would generally expect that a gun with a scope and the word “longshot” in its name would be something of a long-range weapon, but the Nerf N-Strike Longshot only shoots about 35 feet — about the same as other (smaller) guns in the N-Strike line.
The Nerf N-Strike Unity Power System answers the question, what would happen if multiple Nerf guns could assemble themselves into a single larger, badder creation like Voltron? Yup. Pure awesomeness.
The Nerf Triple Strike boasts some very nice specs, including a sixty foot range and very nice accuracy that you rarely see on an arrow weapon.
The Nerf N Strike Maverick is a six-shot semi-automatic blaster that will shoot as fast as you can pump and pull the trigger. It features great range and accuracy, and the pop out chamber is a lot of fun.
To prime the Split Fire, you just pump it three times. Once primed, you have two options on how you’d like to shoot. If you pull the trigger back halfway you’ll fire one dart, and if you pull it back all the way you’ll fire two shots. Pretty nice.
Have you ever thought to yourself, ‘man it would be cool if I could shoot people around corners?’ I know that I have at least never once. Thankfully, the good people at Nerf anticipated our needs and made a barely functional weapon to address them.
The Nerf Rocketstorm is a pretty good pocket gun, though it isn’t quite small enough to make it worth the sacrifices that have been made on account of its small package.
The Nerf Ripsaw is probably the most accurate ball weapon that Nerf has ever made, thanks to the wheel that spins the ball through the barrel.
The Razor Fin boasts above range and accuracy for a gun its size, but it’s hard to recommend given the quirkiness of its design.
Thanks to its size, the Razorbeast can hold up to fifteen darts at at a time. The firing mechanism is also pretty cool, with the hand crank on the side of it (unless you’re left-handed, in which case you can’t use this gun. Sorry).
The Nerf Rattler was a solid Nerf gun for its time. A semiautomatic, the Rattler can shoot off four rounds in succession before it needs to be reloaded.
The RatchetBlast gets pretty good scores on the range and accuracy front, and would be a fine choice should you need a replacement to your Rattler.
When it was released, the Nerf Pulsator was the fastest-firing Nerf weapon ever made. That’s nice and all, but being able to fire quickly is only of limited value once you consider that the Pulsator can barely shoot farther than 20 feet.
The Nerf Vortex Power Strike is a great blaster. The Power Strike has two barrels, and rings can be fired either together or separately, giving you a nice bit of flexibility.
The Nerf NitroQuad is an interesting gun given its unique design, but its capabilities are rather limited.
The Nerf Motorized Ballzooka was an upgrade to one of the most popular Nerf guns ever made — the Nerf Ballzooka.
The Nerf Missile Launcher is designed to be operated with your foot. Stepping (or jumping) on the plunger will shoot a missile into the air, which means its fun to play with, but impossible to hit a moving target.
The Nerf Master Blaster was a lot of fun to play with, even though the gun would occasionally misfire or shoot two balls at the same time.
Unlike a lot of the Maxforce guns where the animal elements are more tacked on than functional, the Nerf Manta Ray actually ads some interesting functionality.
The Nerf Mad Hornet represents a landmark for Nerf, as it was the first Nerf weapon with a trigger to fire with air pressure rather than a spring mechanism.
The Nerf Lightnin’ Blitz is the first Nerf weapon that can fire four or more shots simultaneously.
Other than the design, the Iron Raptor doesn’t have much to set it apart from the rest of the Nerf guns. The range is decent (better than you would probably expect given the gimmick of the whole thing), but really, who wants to carry a dinosaur around?
The Nerf FastBlast is a decent gun, but it doesn’t really have much going for it to separate itself from the competition.
The Nerf Expand-A-Blast is probably one of the most ill-conceived Nerf guns that have ever been made.
What could be better than the Nerf Crossbow? The Nerf Double Crossbow!!! Erm…not really.
You know the game at the Fair where you hit a plunger with a mallet, and the harder you hit it the higher up the little metal piece slides? The Nerf Detonator is something like that.
I’ll be the first to admit that I hate all the Nerf guns that look like animals. I just don’t know what they were thinking. So it is with a little bit of prejudice that I say the Nerf Coral Viper is a steaming pile of crap.
The Nerf CommLink II is yet another example of a good idea that didn’t really pan out.
The Nerf Bungee Blaster really was a good idea, but the bungee ammo was never really embraced.
The Nerf Blast Fire DX 500 is one of the best blasters Nerf has ever produced.
The idea behind the Nerf Backlash is that you can mount this thing somewhere, pull a cord, and laugh as you ambush your enemies. As I said, it’s a good idea, but in practicality it doesn’t work so well.
The cord itself is a bit of a pain, as it can get tangled around your shoes and trip you, but the Nerf Ripcord is still a fun toy.
Even though the execution of the Nerf Defender T3 was somewhat lacking, it was a cool idea to have a weapon break apart like that.
The Nerf Big Bad Bow is awesome on all counts (ok, the name sucks, but you can’t expect perfection, right?).
The Nerf Blast Hammer is pretty cool, in that it’s one of the better Nerf pocket guns out there.
The Nerf Gator is one of the worst Nerf guns ever made — as if the fact that the gun is shaped like an alligator wasn’t enough for you to already guess as much.
The Nerf Hydro Bazooka seems to be one of those things that happens when are too many minds at work in a single room. “Hey, we all love Nerf guns, right? And we all love water guns. That means we’d really love a Nerf water gun!”
The Nerf Arrowstorm can be loaded with up to six arrows at a time, and it can fire off about three arrows per second up to about 25 feet each.
The Yellow SuperMAXX 3000 is awesome. It has a fifty foot range, automatically rotating barrel, and surprisingly good accuracy.
The Nerf Crossbow was the first Nerf weapon ever made that had the ability to fire two types of ammo (darts and arrows).
The Ballzooka took the power of the Nerf Blast a Ball and combined it with the semi-automatic fear-inducing Nerf explosion that we’ve come to know and love.
The Nerf Blast a Ball was the first weapon that Nerf ever made, which means it was the first Nerf weapon I ever tortured my brothers with.
The Nerf Bow and Arrow is one of the best toys of the 1990s, and given that it was the first Nerf weapon ever made, it’s definitely a classic.
