10 best Nerf blasters

Toys are still an excellent and irreplaceable alternative to modern gadgets. If girls prefer dolls and tea drinking, then boys often play toy soldiers or assemble a construction set. But there are also fidgets who are attracted by weapons from the cradle, and Hasbro has long been delighting such kids with one of the best series of toys - Nerf. The most widespread and demanded are the so-called "blasters".

The main feature of these toys is shooting with special cartridges or darts made of polyurethane. Despite the mediocre aerodynamic characteristics, these cartridges are quite enough to satisfy the thirst for "post-fire" even in the most active children. A big plus is that when they hit, they just bounce off and do no damage, only if they do not get into the eye. In addition, a pistol or submachine gun is easy to stylize for any universe, but they still have the spirit of the 1970s, expressed in neon colors. For additional entertainment, Nerf also produces vests, on which these cartridges remain when hit.

We've handpicked 10 of the best blasters from Nerf for you based on customer reviews, sales and reputable channels.

Top 10 best blasters from Nerf

10 Nerf Rival Nemesis MXVII-10K (B8239 / B8240)

The largest dimensions, the largest magazine for 100 rounds. Here is a brief description of this monster from Nerf. This machine gun will appeal to those children who do not want to constantly replenish the store and need to get the whole thrill from the gameplay. Interestingly, the blue version looks nicer than the red one. The shells will have to be filled directly from the bag, which is not very convenient, the receiving tray is too small.

A compartment for 6 batteries is hidden inside the butt. There is also an alternative option in the form of a battery, which makes the toy lighter and eliminates the need to worry about batteries. Feels like the battery makes the machine gun even faster in rate of fire. Charging is included. The downside is its unique connector, which has no alternatives. Therefore, loss of charge will be critical. The sound of the motor is very noisy, the vibration is strong. The firing mechanism is fully automatic and the owner of this blaster will destroy everything in its path.

9 Nerf Mega Centurion (A6288)

This children's blaster has a large size and all because it is a sniper rifle. The delivery set includes an elongated barrel, 6 rounds, bolt handle and bipod. All that is missing is a full-fledged sniper scope, although there is plenty of free space to mount it. An interesting fact - without a barrel, this weapon shoots better than with it. At the moment, this is the most powerful cannon with a high projectile flight speed, but the declared range is indicated as only 26 meters.

There are also 4 places for fastening the belt. The color is too bright for a sniper rifle, and the handle is not very comfortable, it will take a long time to get used to. Two bolt handles make it versatile for right-handers and left-handers. Two indicators inform about the presence of cartridges and whether the bolt is cocked. The top cover is made of transparent plastic, very durable and helps not only to orient the owner about the remaining cartridges, but also serve as reliable protection for the internal elements.

8 Nerf Rival Artemis XVII-3000 (B8235 / B8237)

The peculiarity of the model is the store incompatible with other toys. Very comfortable in the hand, the stabilizer grip helps to improve the sight and control the recoil. Becomes loud when firing and reloading. The trigger is soft. There is a bottom stop on the handle to provide additional support in the event that the blaster outweighs. The magazine can be removed even when charged with a fuse. Recharge is tight.

The store is not removable, the balls will have to be loaded manually.The good news is the 30 rounds of ammo, so while your opponents are reloading their pistols, they can be attacked. The compartment is divided into 3 parts, 10 bullets each. From visual decorations on the right side there are half-erased inscriptions and brand lines. The shooting is mixed - some fly far away, some fall almost nearby, although the fence goes alternately from each store. This can be attributed to the spring, which must be developed during the first firing.

7 Nerf Raival Kronos XVIII-500 (E3109)

This blaster for children looks massive and is distinguished by its unusual colors for the lineup. Officially, this series was attributed to the "Phantom" squad, which, in addition to color, has its own emblem. Structurally, this is a classic pistol without frills, there are only 2 non-standard strips on the body. The handle has a hook for a flag or belt. The fuse is located on the left side.

The magazine to be retrieved is missing. All projectiles are loaded into an internal storage opening at the top. All 5 shells fit inside, but if you wish, you can shove 6 as well, but in this case you can not wait for proper operation. If the shot fails, a locking lever comes to the rescue, pushing the receiver away. The large stick and the normal trigger are good for the usability. When shooting, it shows itself perfectly. Overall, this is a decent Ryval pistol. The flags in the delivery set are flimsy, there are no normal belts.

6 Nerf Modulus Recon (B4616)

Upon unpacking, you will find a large package of delivery. It consists of:

• additional barrel;
• 6 rounds;
• store;
• the blaster itself.

The packaging indicates that the toy has a 4-in-1 function, but the manufacturer went for a marketing trick, believing that by removing one of the elements, you can instantly turn the machine gun into another weapon. Recon is very similar to the Retalaitor model, of the fundamental differences, it is worth highlighting only the shape of the handle and the front part without additional decorative elements. For each next shot you have to jerk the bolt, but the volume of the clip is small, only 6 rounds. The shutter mechanism is a bit sluggish and could have been lighter. An interesting and very tight move is also found in the trigger, which is made in the form of a pushing element, and not a classic shape. But the handle, as well as the ergonomics in general, turned out to be successful. The removable barrel does not affect shooting and has only a decorative function. It shoots weakly and inaccurately. Recommended for close combat.

5 Nerf N-Strike Elite Rukkus ICS-8 (E2654)

One of the most popular Nerf children's blasters on the market, with a record number of reviews. The rate here is made on noise, because the machine clicks loudly when firing. There are only 8 rounds in the clip, but there is a semi-automatic firing mode due to the built-in rammer. The store is made in the form of a horn and when moving to the next cartridge, it rises up.

It is worth noting that there is no modular structure here and you will not be able to hang additional elements. You can also reload manually, but this will negatively affect the accuracy of the shots. The rear handle, which is not very comfortable to grip, also raises some questions. The weapon is designed for short and medium range combat. Despite the high-quality assembly, we recommend it for experienced fighters, and for beginners, we recommend something simpler.

4 Nerf Mega Bigshock (A9314)

Weapons of the "Mega" series, which is famous for its size, huge bullets and bright red color. In fact, this is an improved variation of the Jold model, turning the once ridiculous pistol into a weighty weapon of destruction. Charging is simple - insert the cartridge into the barrel, pull the handle on the magazine and you can search for the target. The descent is quite soft and does not require much effort to press, which indirectly gets the accuracy of the shot.

The handle is large and takes up almost 2/3 of the entire body. The impression is spoiled by the plastic channel on the inner side, which makes the grip somewhat uncomfortable. In order not to look for a cartridge in the pockets, there is a holder for one cartridge on the upper part.More is not necessary, since there are only 2 of them in the kit. It shoots quite powerfully, and the manufacturer claims a maximum range of 26 meters. Alternatively, you can use the Nerf Mega cartridges (A4368).

3 Nerf Mega Bulldog (E3057)

The model is worthy of the attention of those who want to strike a preemptive blow, so much so that no one seems a little. Only 6 rounds, but which ones. Mega Akustraik are more like shotgun cartridges than a conventional machine gun. The scope of delivery also includes a holder and a removable sight. The holder is installed on the left side of the body, and the sight when the toy is completely disassembled. There are two ways to unfold the blaster by pulling on the handle or stock, which gives great advantages in terms of compactness. Well balanced and does not burden the child's hands during play.

The belt can be fastened in three ways at once. Three cartridges are installed on an external magazine on the barrel and the other three are built into the holder. The toy is well suited for short distances, but you will have to get used to the sight itself. Shooting in a straight line averages 8.5 meters, and with a canopy up to 15 meters.

2 Nerf Modulus Twilight (E0733)

Children's blaster Nerf Modulus Twilight has several characteristics unique to its segment. And let's start, of course, with the case. In the normal state, it is completely transparent, but at night you can turn on the backlight. The technology is outrageously simple, since a neon strip is installed inside and it would be better to replace it with more reliable RGB backlighting, but this would lead to an increase in the price of the product. The backlight looks great in the dark and easily reveals your position to the enemy at night, guaranteeing a thrill.

Supplied in an open box. The manufacturer did not skimp on fully charged batteries, which are more than enough for the first time. Additionally, there is a handle to hold the machine with the other hand. The children's blaster is designed specifically for kids who have just begun to explore the world and who will be interested in the inner stuffing of the weapon.

1 Nerf Elite Delta Trooper (E1911)

The best blaster for kids in our opinion. The box claims a maximum range of 27 meters and 12 Elite arrows. In fact, bullets fly on average 11 meters in a straight trajectory, and 22 meters in an arc. It can be used in 4 different modifications, 3 of which are submachine guns and one submachine gun. The design is made of 4 main elements - forend, magazine, butt and barrel. Reloading takes place in one motion, you just need to pull the shutter back and move it to its original position. Blaster accuracy is almost perfect.

The design of the toy reflects the design of the 2018 Elite series, as evidenced by the fake cooling fins on the barrel and the futuristic stock. The shutter has niches for fingers and a locking element so that the hand does not slip during reloading. In spite of everything, there are no rubber inserts on the bottom of the clip, which can quickly render the plastic unusable. As an additional convenience, there is a mechanism for releasing stuck cartridges in the form of a lever.

How to choose a Nerf blaster?

The choice of blaster is simple enough. Focus on the preferences of the child. It is worth noting that a lot depends on the baby himself. If this is a fidget, then a submachine gun or machine gun is perfect for him. For those who are inactive, but who want to play, sniper rifles or machine guns are suitable. Finally, for those who do not plan to conduct large-scale battles, but want to get a good toy, we can recommend pistols.
