The Nerf Longshot is a two in one blaster that can be used as a sniper rifle or blaster. Use it as a sniper, and you’re going to need a little camouflage!

Nerf N Strike Elite Strongarm Toy Review

This gun is super lightweight and easy to run around with, which is particularly important for Nerf wars. The darts are soft, so they won’t hurt you if you get hit with one, but they do fire at an incredible speed and are super powerful. 

Smaller children can play with it as it isn’t stiff or hard to pull back and arm. The Nerf N Strike Elite Strongarm Toy makes a wonderful gift for energetic children that get bored easily! 

I particularly like the Slam Fire feature as it allows you to fire six darts in a row in less than two seconds. This is the selling feature for most Nerf fans! 

Specifications:

• Six darts 
• Weighs one pound 
• 2.87 x 14.49 x 7.52 inches

Rampage Nerf N-Strike Elite Toy Blaster Review

The Rampage Nerf N Strike Elite toy blaster is very reliable and accurate. You won’t have to worry about it jamming up or breaking easily, but if it does, repairing it and finding the problem is very easy to do. 

This model is an upgrade to the 2008 Nerf N-strike Raider CS-35. The newer model performs far better than the Nerf N-strike Raider CS-35, which improves your playing pleasure greatly! 

If you are picky with your guns and always feel like something could be improved or modified, you might be in luck with this gun. The Rampage Nerf N-Strike Elite toy blaster is powerful, sleek, and does not need to be modified for it to be fun. Be careful when fixing jammed darts because if you aren’t careful, you could rip or bend the dart. 

Specifications:

• 4.02 x 20.98 x 12.76 inches
• 0.18 Pounds
• 27-meter maximum range 
• 25 darts included 

NERF Strongarm N-Strike Elite Toy Review

This is a great gun for beginners. If you haven’t played Nerf wars before and you want an easy gun that loads and shoots well, this is a great one to go for. 

Children and teens can play with this gun because it is lightweight and easy to run around with. It doesn’t fire super powerful bullets, so you don’t have to worry about hurting one another in the game. 

Take this gun with you on holidays and road trips and enjoy hours of fun with your family. You don’t need much more than a few Nerf guns and good company on a camping trip, that is for sure! 

Specifications:

• 2.88 x 13 x 7.5 inches

Nerf Vulcan Review

The Nerf Vulcan is a total beast with even the original looking awesome. Customize it and you’ve got something that wouldn’t look out of place in an action movie! Beginner modders should take care with this one, as although the voltage can be increased to get more power, it’s best done by someone who knows what they’re doing.

The Vulcan has a removable tripod and can blast a whopping 25 darts in quick succession. It comes with an ammo box, 25-dart belt, and Whistler darts. It’s huge and offers a serious kick of adrenaline. If you’re looking for something more advanced – this is the best nerf gun to mod for you!
