Nerf SuperMAXX 1500

The Nerf SuperMAXX 1500 is a good Nerf gun that could have been a great Nerf gun.

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 one thing that keeps the SuperMAXX 1500 from being the perfect Nerf blaster is that you have to rotate the barrel manually, increasing the time between shots.

If Nerf could have found a way to make the SuperMAXX 1500 a semi-automatic with a rotating barrel, the it would be even higher on the list of the best Nerf guns of all-time.

Nerf SuperMAXX 750

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 major drawback to the SuperMAXX 750 is that it’s a pump gun. As with all pump guns, it has a lackluster rate of fire. However, the SuperMAXX 750 doesn’t penalize you too badly in that area, as it only requires five pumps to effectively prime.

It also would have been nice if Nerf had attached a couple spare ammo slots somewhere on the SuperMAXX 750, but alas. That’s why God invented pockets.

Nerf SuperMAXX 350

Aside from the more contemporary look, the Nerf SuperMAXX 350 is pretty much identical to the SuperMAXX 250, and that’s too bad.

Like its predecessor, the SuperMAXX 350 suffers from lackluster range (~23 feet). There really isn’t any reason to buy this Nerf blaster unless you’re a collector, as there are a schlew of blasters this size that will give you considerably more bang for your buck.

Like virtually all Nerf weapons that fire multiple types of ammo, the Nerf SuperMAXX 5000 does a decent job at a number of things, but it doesn’t do anything particularly well.

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.

That leaves you with a dart blaster, and, well, there are much better dart blasters on the market. Unless you’re a collector, there really isn’t any reason to buy the Nerf SuperMAXX 5000.

Nerf SuperMAXX 250 Dart Blaster

The Nerf SuperMAXX 250 Dart Blaster is an upgrade to the Nerf Rocketstorm.

The two most important upgrades on the SuperMAXX 250 are the addition of a trigger (yay for accuracy) and an automatically rotating barrel.

The Dart Blaster doesn’t have particularly good range when compared to larger guns, but it hits about 25 feet, which is pretty solid for its size.

Nerf SuperMAXX 3000

The Nerf SuperMAXX 3000 comes in three colors: Yellow, Blue, and Green. The differences are greater than the colors, though. The Blue and Green editions are vastly inferior to the Yellow, so unless you’re giving this to a little kid, buy the Yellow.

The Yellow SuperMAXX 3000 is awesome. It has a fifty foot range, automatically rotating barrel, and surprisingly good accuracy.

This gun represents one of the all-time great achievements in Nerf weaponry. You won’t be disappointed if you pick it up.
