Nerf Modulus Tri-Strike Blaster
All-in-one fun
The Nerf Modulus Tri-Strike Blaster is a great option for rifle-style nerf enthusiasts, offering versatile play with three cool ways to blast. You get the bolt-action clip-fed Elite blaster, a pump-action Mega barrel, and a rocket launcher, making it absolutely customizable to your taste.
The Nerf Modulus Tri-Strike Blaster should definitely be on your radar if you’re looking for a versatile blaster that can handle any Nerf battle situation. The main blaster itself works great for firing standard darts with precision, thanks to its bolt-action prime mechanism.
But there’s way more to love here. you may also attach the included Mega dart barrel for some serious firepower. And the icing on the cake - thepièce de résistance, so to speak, has to be the missile launcher stock. Pump it up, drop a missile, and launch it for a long-range explosive surprise.
Nerf Pro Stryfe X
For the big leagues
The next step in Nerf warfare, the Stryfe X comes with a rechargable LiPo battery that allows for precise and accurate shooting. This is the blaster you want when you’re aiming for the big leagues. Its extended mag ensures that you don’t have to take too long reloading every time you’re out, just swap out the mag.
As the name suggests, the Stryfe X is for players who want to go pro. While there’s no global authority on Nerf wares, this would be the blaster of choice for the bros. It also helps that it looks a bit like a Bolter rifle from Warhammer 40,000. The rechargable battery and extended mag ensure you stay in the fight for longer.
Nerf Elite 2.0 Double Punch
The Nerf Elite 2.0 Double Punch looks like something straight out of a Borderlands game. With motorized alternating pump barrels, this blaster with spray darts at a rate where aiming may be optional. It also comes with a double mag to ensure that the high fire rate doesn’t deplete the darts too quickly.
However, if efficiency isn’t your thing, the Nerf Elite 2.0 Double Punch is a blaster straight out of a video game. It features two alternating pump barrels that spray darts with such intensity that you’re bound to hit your target without needing to aim acurately.
Nerf Elite Strongarm
An all-time classic
The Nerf Elite Strongarm is the generic Nerf blaster you’ve seen in app the promotional material. However, that doesn’t mean it’s not a good product. It has good weight, a simple system that does not break easily, and generates enough power to aim a dart at a medium range target.
This particular model of the Nerf Elite Strongarm is an Amazon exclusive, featuring a two-tone outer shell of white and transparent. It gives the toy a futuristic look, so if you’re playing aliens vs. astronauts, or just re-enacting something from Starfield, this version of the Nerf blaster will make it all look futuristic.
Nerf Pro Gelfire Mythic
Modern Nerfware
Nerf has come far from the simple Strongarm. Case in point, the Gelfire Mythic. Instead of air pressure, this Nerf blaster uses an electronic system to fire out ammo at a high rate. As for the ammo itself, gel-based pellets are used since foam darts aren’t conducive to a high rate of fire.
The future of Nerf blaster looks pretty secure if the creators keep coming up with these kinds of products. An electrical motor and gel-based pellets combined to deliver a high rate of fire and smooth operating. Unfortunately, you may’t use the pellets as they disintegrate upon hitting anything, but that means they’re pretty safe.
Nerf N-Strike Mega Mastodon Blaster
For the tank players
The N-Strike Mega Mastodon Blaster is for those of you that like playing as a tank character. The whole point of this fully motorized giant blaster is that you don’t need to aim. Just fore enough darts in their direction, and one is bound to hit. Just verify you have a side blaster fro when you run out.
Some people don’t like taking their time to aim, or fire a single shot at a time. They like to spray the entire area with darts, and hit anything that was in the vicinity. If you’re one of those, the Strike Mega Mastodon Blaster is the blaster for you. A fully-motorized build, rotating drum barrel, and 25 dart mag will ensure that you’re unstoppable in a Nerf war.
Nerf Ultra One Motorized Blaster
Power on the go
However, if you want the same tech and firepower in a smaller package, you should go for the Ultra One Motorized Blaster. It’s a bit more weildy, meaning you can actually aim it wherew you want, but the smaller size sacrifices power, so you won’t be able to shoot darts as far.
Anyone who plays video games knows that if you get a compact version of a gun, you’re sacrificing power for mobility. That’s precisely what the Nerf Ultra One Motorized Blaster gives you. The same drum mag as the Strike Mega Mastodon, but with a lesser range; in return, it’s lighter and can be aimed properly.
Nerf Fortnite B-AR
When they ask you to shut your game and play outside.
There’s no denying that along with Fortnite, elements of the game became popular too. And so, Nerf took the chance to create blasters based on the weapons in the game. But, regardless of the Fortnite branding, the B-AR is a great blaster that fires ten darts in a row from a magazine.
Have you ever wished that you could play with the guns you see in video games? Nerf thought the same thing. The Fortnite B-AR is inspired by the gun of the same name in Fortnite, but that’s not the only thing great about it. Its motorized mechanism can fire ten darts in a row from a removable clip.
Nerf LMTD Halo Needler
Master Chief would be proud
Fans of the Halo series will agree that Nerf’s dart-shooting replica of the iconic Needler gun is pretty accurate. Not only does it look the part, but pulling the trigger lights up the needles at the top and fires up to ten Elite darts via a motorized rotating drum.
Nerf really took those video game collaborations pretty seriously, and the LMTD Halo Needler is proof of that. Not only does it look very similar to the version from Halo Infinite, but it also lights up to act the part as well.
Nerf Pro Gelfire Raid Blaster
For those love to Rush B
The Nerf Pro Gelfire Raid Blaster has all the makings of a shotgun. It features a pump-handle and fires five gel pellets with every trigger pull. Who wouldn’t love that? Sure, you could camp in one spot and attempt to fire pellets with accuracy, but the Gelfire Raid allows you to rush in and splatter your friends with a scatter blast of gel.
Who doesn’t love rushing in with a shotgun? Any gamer will know that when you need to clear a closed room at close range, there’s one type of weapon that is perfect for the occasion. If you’re the type of player who likes to run around a lot during your Nerf wars, the Nerf Pro Gelfire Raid Blaster should probably be your blaster of choice. The five gel pellet scatter blast is sure to give you an advantage once you’re in close quarters with the opposing team.
Nerf Pro Gelfire Dual Wield Pack
Black leather trench coat not included
You know what’s cooler than a shotgun, though? Dual wield pistols. That’s exactly what the Nerf Pro Gelfire Dual Wield Pack provides - two twin single shot blasters that you can take into the Nerf war and channel your inner Neo or Captain Rex. While the Raid blaster gives you brute force, this pack is for those who prefer finesse.
The Nerf Pro Gelfire Dual Wield Pack not only acts as a great set for dual wielding, but is also a good deal if you’re looking to buy two blasters for your kids. They’re relatively small and only fire single gel pellets at a time. As long as you take all necessary precautions, this is a great introduction to Nerf for children. But you can always go full Neo and whip these bad boys out during a Nerf war if you want to get some skill shots.
Nerf Modulus Regulator Blaster
One blaster for every occasion
The Modulus Regulator is for those of you that prefer one blaster for every situation. you’re able to switch to the single-shot mode for when you want to ping another from afar, use burst fire if you’re trying to get someone on the move, or crank up the full auto and the front handle if you want to empty your entire clip when the odds are against you.
The Modulus Regulator is quite a fancy blaster. It features a unique design that allows for two clips to increase the ammo count. It also lets you switch between three different firing modes, depending on the situation. This is the blaster you want to choose if you want to be prepared for any scenario in your Nerf war.
Nerf Pro Gelfire Uproar
Pray and spray
The Gelfire series already boasts blasters with a high rate of fire, but what the Uproar adds is single-handed action. This little gun packs a huge with high-velocity pellets and leaves your other hand free for another blaster.
Sometimes you may need to use a weapon that leaves your other hand free. But that doesn’t mean that the weapon needs to be weak. The Nerf Pro Gelfire Uproar delivers gel pellets at 150 feet per second, making it a compact machine. With a Hopper that carries 400 pellets, you’re hardly going to need to reload too.
Marvel Nerf Power Moves Avengers Iron Man Repulsor Blast Gauntlet
Jarvis not included
While most of Nerf’s blasters are in the shape of guns, the Power Moves line takes things beyond. While we may not have the technology or money to build an Iron Man armour like Tony Stark, this gauntlet lets your kids, or you, mimic his iconic repulsor blasters.
Iron Man’s repulsor cannons are his primary weapons, and this Nerf gauntlet gives your kids the chance to pretend they have one. Sure, it’s not the most advanced Nerf blaster, but which kid - or small-handed adult - doesn’t want to run around pretending to be an Avenger?
