History UsefulNotes / NerfBrand

** Magstrike: An air pressure blaster that has its own unique clips,[[note]]Nerf tends to confuse the terms "clip" and "magazine", which are ''not'' interchangeable. A clip is a unit of attached cartridges (or darts in this case), whereas a magazine is a holding chamber for individual cartridges or darts.[[/note]] the Magstrike can discharge its entire ammo load in a single burst. Until the advent of the Raider and Alpha Trooper, this blaster was immensely popular in ''LARP/HumansVsZombies''.

** Alpha Trooper CS-18: A slimmer cousin to the Raider, the Alpha Trooper features the same slam-fire mechanism and packs an 18-dart drum magazine. It is very popular with players of ''LARP/HumansVsZombies''.

** Stryfe: The ''official'' answer to all the Nerf modders who cut apart their Barricades to modify them for Clip System magazines, Stryfes are electrically-powered Flywheel semi-auto SMG blasters. ''Extremely'' popular with players of ''LARP/HumansVsZombies'', who tend to tape up the magazine sensor to prevent mechanical fault when using the massive extended mags and drum mags.

A Nerf blaster subline released in 2013, this blaster line has a motif revolving around a ZombieApocalypse. May be marketed directly at the ''LARP/HumansVsZombies'' Nerf sub-fanbase. Has a unique "Z" logo. There's also the Z.E.D. Squad sub-line that releases previous blasters in Zombie Strike fashion. [[http://urbantaggers.blogspot.sg/2013/07/io9-nerf-zombie-strike-full-line-up.html More announcements on new blasters and toys in the lineup]]. 2015 introduces the Biosquad Zombie Repellent Blasters, which are hybrid blasters that have the ability to fire darts and spray water or Zombie Repellent (silly string).

** Velcro everywhere: a ''very'' common trend with ''LARP/HumansVsZombies'' players is to employ lots of velcro for holding on to everything, from blasters to Clip System magazines. This also allows players to wear Velcro-based tactical harnesses and hook everything up.

** Battery packs: Self-explanatory. This involves rewiring the blaster to take Lithium cells instead of the typical alkalines. The ''LARP/HumansVsZombies'' modders used to ''love'' the Trustfire brand lithium cells, but have since moved on to even better brands.

** Weighted-head darts: A common modification for darts. Not accepted in most ''LARP/HumansVsZombies'' games due to safety concerns, although a properly assembled weighted-head dart with a good glue seal and a properly padded tip can be quite useable otherwise.

** Barricade/Stockade conversion for magazines: A very popular mod amongst ''LARP/HumansVsZombies'' players that eventually inspired Hasbro-Nerf to created the Stryfe. This conversion essentially takes the revolver cylinder out and replaces the deadspace with parts from a cannibalized Raider magwell, allowing the rebuilt blaster to take Clip System magazines.
** Ammo Counters: Clip System magazine blasters are known to be modified by some players of ''LARP/HumansVsZombies'' to have electronic ammo counters.

** [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/nerf/images/f/f8/Warlock_(3).jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100214195435 Warlock Axe]]: AnAxeToGrind for the line.

The Toys/NERFBrand of foam toys is quite an extensive family.

** Longshot CS-6: The first sniper rifle of the N-Strike family, the Longshot is/was a powerful blaster with a direct plunger system and a barrel extension that could be used separately as a holdout, single-shot pistol. Vaguely resembles a cross between a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrett_M82 Barrett .50 cal]] anti-materiel rifle and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSR-Precision_DSR-50 a DSR-50]]--fitting given its large plunger tube granting it a vast firing distance (especially when modded).

** Longshot CS-6: The first sniper rifle of the N-Strike family, the Longshot is/was a powerful blaster with a direct plunger system and a barrel extension that could be used separately as a holdout, single-shot pistol. Vaguely resembles a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrett_M82 Barrett .50 cal]] anti-meterial rifle--fitting given its large plunger tube granting it a vast firing distance (especially when modded).

** Stampede ECS: Sitting squarely between the Vulcan and the Recon in terms of size and firepower, the Stampede is the first true carbine/assault rifle of the Nerf Blasters. Featuring an always-electrically-powered firing mechanism, the Stampede ships with a forward grip that can expand into a bipod, three 18-dart extended magazines, and a clip-on ''ballistic shield''. Amusingly, [[GoneHorriblyRight it can even malfunction in a manner evocative of gas-piston carbines]] (like Kalashnikovs)!

** Surgefire: The Elite equivalent to the MEGA [=RotoFury=], with a 15 dart drum, pump action and slam-fire capabilities. Resembles an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armsel_Striker Armsel Striker]] minus a shoulder stock.

** [=RotoFury=]: A ''ten-dart'' revolver blaster that is pumped by a foregrip and the first to support slam-fire.

** [[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81eKBpEWnOL._SY355_.jpg Stonewall Shield and Sword]]: A combination of LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe and KnifeNut. Because of the sword's small dagger-like design, it was once the unofficial choice of [[{{BayonetYa}} bayonet]] for your blasters until the Modulus Close Combat Upgrade Kit.

*** [[http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/Rhino-Fire Rhino-Fire]]: A double-barreled fully automatic Nerf machine gun. Unlike the Vulcan, which runs a traditional direct-plunger belt feed with a clattering bolt and the option of manual action operation, the Rhino-Fire is fully electrically-operated, running a set of motorised dart pushers and flywheels on 6 D cells. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7axdvzfHnM The twin barrels will move when firing alternately]]. Due to its shape, it has separate feed mechanisms, and ships with a pair of 25-dart drum magazine plus 50 darts, as well as a tripod like the one that the Vulcan has.

** Surgefire: The Elite equivalent to the MEGA [=RotoFury=], with a 15 dart drum, pump action and slam-fire capabilities.

** Rayven CS-18: A fully electrical semi-auto flywheel bullpup blaster, the Rayven comes with a 18-dart magazine that can light up and charge "Firefly Tech" luminous darts. Its flywheel motors in stock produce a different sound than the Barricade's.

** Longshot CS-6: The first sniper rifle of the N-Strike family, the Longshot was a powerful blaster with a direct plunger system and a barrel extension that could be used separately as a holdout single-shot pistol.

** Longstrike CS-6: The second Nerf sniper rifle, the Longstrike has some design elements taken from several famous rifles, including the Accuracy International Artic Warfare. It has a detachable barrel extension (the ''longest produced by Nerf''), and its fixed shoulder stock can hold 2 extra 6-dart Clip System magazines.
** Vulcan EBF-25: While not the only Nerf ChainsawGripBFG, the Vulcan is the only one with a belt feed system. It boasts an electrically-powered fire rate just above 3 darts per second, as well as the ability to fire single shots manually. It produces a distressingly realistically loud clatter from the bolt mechanism when fired on full-auto.

** Barrel Break IX-2: Modeled after a double-barreled shotgun, the Barrel Break evokes sawn-off shotguns with its stubby barrels. One of the few rare breech-loading blasters that do not use magazines.

** [[http://sgnerf.blogspot.sg/2013/04/nerf-n-strike-elite-rapidstrike-cs-18.html Rapidstrike CS-18]]: A 2013 blaster design, this [[http://urbantaggers.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/rumours-baidu-elite-rapidstrike-firing.html electrically-powered, flywheel-driven, full-auto carbine/assault rifle blaster]] evokes the [[{{Film/Aliens}} Pulse Rifle]] in its design. The battery tray slots in under the barrel, providing a mass counterbalance to the rear-mounted motor assembly that drives this blaster. A sneak preview showed this blaster firing at a rate of 3.6 darts/second.

** Rough Cut 2x4: A pump-action shotgun blaster, the Rough Cut has 8 muzzle-fed barrels and shoots them off 2 at a time, similar to the Barrel Break IX-2.

** [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/nerf/images/f/f3/Nerf_rebelle_platinum_bow_0.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160213014044 Platinum Bow]]: A proper bow similar in function to the Agent Bow without the decoding gimmick or built in dot-sight.

* NERF Creator/DudePerfect Bow: A proper bow not related to the Rebelle line. Like other bows, it uses a proper string with a lopsided pulley to easily hold the draw and a holding flap raises up when nocking and pulling back the string, suspending the front of the arrow and making it more consistent when firing. This is intended for outdoor use due to the size, range and velocity that the arrows are fired at and it includes an outdoor knockout target. The quality, consistency and precision of these arrows gives the product a rather high price.

A recent product line announced for Fall 2016 with a more bizarre, alien and "organic" appearance. The blasters are less angular and strangely shaped along with being colored white, gray and purple. The overall design of these blasters seem to hearken back to blaster designs from the 90s. Darts of the line are black with dark purple tips.

A recent line introduced that focuses on launching light, foam cars across surfaces and onto ramps or into/through various obstacles to perform stunts or otherwise cause mayhem like, say, bowling over an arrangement of plastic barrels. They're not designed to fire like a conventional blaster and they have a small button on the bottom that locks out the launcher until it's set down on a flat surface.

* '''Manual Plunger:''' A combination of an air pressure chamber and direct plunger that involve pulling the priming handle forward and then slamming it back hard to launch a dart or missile. Blasters such as the Thunderblast, the Demolisher 2-In-1's missile launcher or the [[VideoGame/Fortnite RL]] use this system. Performance is completely dependent on user strength.

The Original Nerf Toy was a soft foam ball marketed for its softness, which made it quite playable indoors without breaking things.

!NERF N-Force
A series of Nerf foam melee weapons, these arms are popular with [=LARPers=] and kids who want cool weapons they can swing around without hurting/breaking things.

** [[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/31BrCLdxR6L._SY300_.jpg Thunder Fury and Shadow Fury]] swords: The basic swords of the line with the Shadow Fury having a blue or deep green hand with a rounded "blade" tip while the Thunder Fury's hilt can be yellow or green with the "blade" slanting at the tip. Both are commonly sold as a single product, either implying the idea to DualWield the weapons or to share with a sibling/friend to have a duel with.
** [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/nerf/images/5/5a/Vantage.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110206042422 Vantage Sword]]: Slightly bigger than the Thunder/Shadow Fury swords and it notably looks much like the [[Franchise/{{TheLegendOfZelda}} Master Sword]].
** [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/86/34/b8/8634b8d69042bfac01a75127163a42bf.jpg Marauder Long Sword]]: The {{BFS}} of the N-Force line. Because of its light foam and plastic, its rather easy to be able to carry this [[{{OneHandedZweihander}} one handed]] for older users. There are two distinct variants, one with a red hilt and another with a black hilt with wasp yellow highlights.

** [[http://www.toysrus.com/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-9317224dt.jpg Klaw Hatchet]]: AnAxeToGrind, only in hatchet form.
** [[http://nerdapproved.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/nerf-n-force-vendetta-sword.jpg Vendetta Double Sword]]: A DoubleWeapon that allows you to wield it with both blades attached or detach them and DualWield.
** [[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81eKBpEWnOL._SY355_.jpg Stonewall Shield and Sword]]: A combination of LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe and KnifeNut. Because of the swords short and small design, it was once the unofficial choice of [[{{BayonetYa}} bayonet]] for your blasters until the Modulus Close Combat Upgrade Kit

!Blaster Types

* Direct Plunger: The most common classic firing mechanism, and also the most basic design. Very popular with modders due to the efficient and powerful design modern Nerf Blasters use.
* Indirect Plunger: A plunger type popularized by a majority of N-Strike blasters, the indirect Plunger is somewhat less efficient due to deadspace inside the plunger chamber, but takes considerably less space also referred to in the fan community as Reverse Plunger.
* Air Pressure Chamber: A classic blaster mechanism adapted from water blasters like the Super Soaker family, the few Nerf blasters that use air pressure chambers are pump-action.
* Manual Plunger: A sort of combination of Air Pressure Chamber and Direct Plunger that involve pulling the priming handle forward then slamming it back hard to launch a dart or missile. Blasters such as the Thunderblast, the Demolisher 2-In-1's launcher or both attachments of the Modulus Tri-Strike use this system. Performance is completely dependent on user strength.
* Electrical Flywheels: With the N-Strike Barricade, Nerf reintroduced flywheel blasters. Early designs were unreliable due to the potential for unequal torque from horizontal flywheels causing loss of accuracy, something the Barricade eliminated with its ''vertical'' flywheels. Certain Flywheel blasters are fully automatic, cycling the pusher mechanism along with the fact they rev the flywheels even faster to compensate for when the dart slows them down. Blasters such as the Rapidstrike, Hyperfire, Rhino-Fire and MEGA Mastodon fire their darts automatically.
* Electrical Plunger: The Stampede, Vulcan, and Swarmfire possess powerful electrically-driven plungers that can fire in full-auto.
* Bowstrings: A number of Rebelle and at least one N-Strike Elite blaster uses an elastic band to launch darts rather than being on the blaster for show such as the Crossfire Bow or MEGA Thunderbow.

!Ball Blasters

!Early Dart Blasters
A later adaptation, the early dart blasters tended towards bigger darts and muzzle- or chamber-fed mechanisms, usually powered by springs, although variant blasters that used flywheels or air pressure chambers also exist.

There were several major families of blasters, the Air Tech series, the Action Blasters, and the Airjet Power series.

These are their most successful products, with several categories of darts by size. The Micro Darts survived into later N-strike and Dart Tag blaster lines, while an upcoming rifle blaster might potentially revive the Mega Dart size class.

* Notable blasters
** Big Bad Bow: A Nerf "longbow" design blaster that actually performs more like a crossbow. Uses foam arrow ammo instead of darts.

** Magstrike: An Air System blaster that has its own unique clips/magazines, the Magstrike can discharge its entire ammo load in a single burst. Until the advent of the Raider and Alpha Trooper, this blaster was immensely popular in ''LARP/HumansVsZombies''.
** Hornet: An Air System blaster with a vaguely similar design to the Magstrike sans the clip/magazine structure.

** Maverick REV-6: ''the'' Revolver Handcannon of the Nerf family, and the other most-reproduced classic blaster that also featured in the N-Strike lineup. Most infamous for quality control issues with the cylinder advancing mechanism.
** Firefly REV-8: a revolver with glow-in-the-dark darts and integrated LED that simulated muzzle flashes, the Firefly's PowerGlow was replicated in future blasters and the blaster itself enjoyed a time being re-released as a N-Strike blaster.

!Early Disc Blasters
One of the NERF experiments, the earliest disc blasters could not match the performance of their dart blasters.

!N-Strike and the rise of streamlines
In the 2000's, the N-Strike series emerged. while several older blasters made a comeback with the N-Strike branding and colours, the new blasters that were introduced mostly had a more realistic design that resembled ''real'' firearms and had actual magazines and GunAccessories.

Streamline micro darts are the name of the game with many of these new blasters, with their small, narrow rubber heads making them able to fit into the new Clip System Magazines.

** Blazing Bow: A seeming replacement for the Big Bad Bow, the Blazing Bow has a fiery paintjob and also uses the same foam arrow ammunition. It was marketed under the N-Strike branding.
** Reflex EX-1: Also known as the Eliminator, this little Nerf Derringer uses a reverse plunger mechanism and was the smallest blaster until the Secret Strike and the Jolt. Also the smallest blaster to use a reverse plunger mechanism.
** Elements EX-6: Essentially a Nitefinder with more dart-holder slots under-muzzle, the Elements blaster comes with a Red Light Sight and a Telescopic Sight.
** Scout EX-3: A blaster that was originally designed to be used as an attachment to the Titan AS-V1 as part of the Unity Power System, it is a sleek pistol that is somewhat related to the Nitefinder in design and is modeled very much like a real handgun.
** Recon CS-6: The mainline blaster of N-Strike and the most prominent, the Recon is a modular semi-automatic/machine pistol with a slide, and features the Clip System magazine and customizable Tactical Rail system. It also commonly ships with a barrel extension with more Tac rails, a detachable stock, and a red-light sight, which allows you to customize it like a SOPMOD SMG.
** Longshot CS-6: The first Sniper Rifle of the N-Strike family, the Longshot was a powerful blaster with a direct plunger system and a barrel extension that could be used separately as a holdout single-shot pistol.

** Longstrike CS-6: The second Sniper Rifle, the Longstrike has some design elements taken from several famous rifles including the Accuracy International Artic Warfare. It has a stock that is usually not removeable once attached, and a detachable barrel extension, and its fixed shoulder stock can hold 2 extra 6-dart Clip System magazines.
** Vulcan EBF-25: THE belt-fed man-portable Nerf Machine Gun, the Vulcan boasts a electrically-powered fire rate just above 3 darts per second, as well as the ability to fire single shots manually. Produces a distressingly realistically loud clatter from the bolt mechanism when fired on full auto.
** Raider CS-35: A pump-action semi-auto shotgun, the Raider introduces the massive 35-dart drum magazine as well as semi-automatic Slam Fire.
** Deploy CS-6: A collapsible pump-action shotgun-like blaster which folds up for easier carrying/concealment.
** Spectre REV-5: An evolution of the revolver form factor, the Spectre sports a greatly-improved baseline performance over the Maverick, as well as superior reliability. They also introduced the detachable Folding Stock.
** Barrel Break IX-2: modeled after a double-barreled shotgun, the Barrel Break evokes the ''Lupara'' sawn-off shotgun. One of the few rare breech-loading blasters that do not use magazines.
** Alpha Trooper CS-18: A slimmer cousin to the Raider, the Alpha Trooper features the same Slam Fire mechanism and packs an 18-dart drum magazine. It is very popular with players of ''LARP/HumansVsZombies''.
** Stampede ECS: Sitting squarely between the Vulcan and the Recon in terms of size/firepower, the Stampede is the first true carbine/assault rifle of the Nerf Blasters. Featuring an always-electrically-powered firing mechanism, the Stampede ships with a forward grip that can expand into a bipod, three 18-dart extended magazines, and a clip-on Ballistic Shield. Amusingly, it can even malfunction in a manner evocative of gas-piston carbines like the Kalashnikov family!
** Jolt EX-1: AKA the [[Film/MenInBlack Noisy Cricket Gun]], the Jolt is the smallest N-Strike blaster, and packs a deceptive amount of power in its direct plunger mechanism. It was given an "Elite" repaint, released as a Zombie Strike blaster with an attachable plastic sight and given a different shell in the Rebelle line.
** Barricade REV-10: A fully electrical ''flywheel'' revolver that can take N-Strike detachable stocks. One of the first blasters to really herald the age of GunsAkimbo blaster play in Nerf, it produces an unmistakeable ominous roar when its flywheels are powered up and spinning.
** Rayven CS-18: A fully electrical flywheel bullpup blaster design that takes cues from the famous real-world p90 SMG, the Rayven comes with a 18-dart magazine that can light up and charge "Firefly tech" luminous darts. Its flywheel motors in stock produce a different whine from the Barricades.
** Switch Shot EX-1: A special variant pistol blaster which was provided with the Nerf N-Strike official video game on the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}. A fully-functional pistol blaster in the same vein as the Scout and Nitefinder, you can flip the sighted muzzle guard down and remove the barrel and plunger block assembly to make room for a Wiimote, allowing you to use the blaster's receiver and grip as a Wiimote gun-controller shell. It comes with a red lensed sight that lets you see hidden messages and [[AttackItsWeakPoint enemy weak spots]] in the game.
** [[http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/SharpFire SharpFire]]: A modular pistol blaster with a ''unique'' detachable stock and a removable barrel extension, the [=SharpFire=] looks remarkably like a target pistol. The detachable stock can hold additional darts. Interestingly, for a late 2014/early 2015 blaster, the [=Sharpfire=] is marketed simply as 'N-strike' without the Elite branding. A later variant known as the Sharpfire Delta in more "Elite" colors without its stock or barrel.
** [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/nerf/images/2/20/Doubledown.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150131031538 DoubleDown]]: A double-barrel pistol that fires darts darts with each separate plunger release instead of a half-way trigger system.
** [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/nerf/images/3/3a/SnapFire.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150228020808 SnapFire]]: A tiny pistol similar to the jolt with a different plunger location and ammo holders.

Dart Tag Blasters are the main non-N-Strike blaster family of Nerf dart blasters. A number of them lack Tactical Rails, and they are all designed to use the velcro-headed Tagger Darts. Older Dart Tag blasters are red or green with orange highlights, while the later post-2011 models are all a darker yellow over grey, with bright orange muzzles.

** Strikefire: a blaster notable for having ''inverted'' Tactical Rails, it can be mounted on other blasters.
** Furyfire: a pump-action 10-shooter Revolver/Shotgun hybrid blaster, the Furyfire is significantly longer than a Maverick and more reliable.

** Speedload 6: A 2012 Blaster design with an integrated banana magazine and a slot feed. Somewhat like a Recon, only with Slam Fire.

Vortex Blasters, introduced in 2012, are Nerf's latest attempt at resurrecting the old Disc Blaster designs with improved engineering. Utilizing torsion-spring launching mechanisms instead of the breech-and-plunger designs of a bulk of the N-Strike series, Vortex Blasters ditch the semi-realistic look and instead aim for a sleek futuristic blaster design. The oblong barrels give them a pesudo-raygun design, and their primarily green/black or white/dark grey shells with bright vermillion highlights make them stand out.

Many Vortex Blasters can use the same kind of detachable shoulder stocks as N-Strike blasters, and most of them possess Tactical Rails and can use the same scopes, grips, and tripods/bipods.

Vortex Blasters utilize the XLR (Extra Long Range) Discs as ammunition. These foam discs have a hollow plastic core that helps improve their aerodynamics and keeps them light and durable. They are fairly accurate as ammunition, and skillful players can make use of the curve at the end of the disc's flight path to make trick shots.

Hasbro originally produced Super Soaker water blasters before 2011 in which they decided to brand Super Soaker and NERF together, at which point blasters produced were compatible both with tactical rail accessories and stock attachments and were typically colored white, black and orange. Some blasters even included clips that held water that could be interchangeable between blasters and used to reload blasters on the fly. Later blasters stopped having a NERF compatible theme and had more classic Super Soaker colors. Super Soakers type blasters were produced for various lines such as Zombie Strike and Rebelle and Super Soakers also had their own sub-lines. The [[ThemeNaming Storm]] series introduced battery powered blasters using an electric siphon for fully-automatic fire. The [[XtremeKoolLetterz X-TREME]] blasters were light blue on white to give an ice theme. Some blasters work by pressuring the water and fired by a trigger, some lack a trigger and fire when you pump the grip and was that way for a long time due to patent issues using a pressure system until it returned with the [=H2Ops=] sub-line.

** Thunderstorm: The first of the Storm blasters but was released before it became it's own sub-line. The blaster comes with a 9 fl. oz magazine.

N-Strike Elite is the evolution/successor to the N-Strike lineup that retains the tacticool semirealistic blaster style. Most of the blasters in this lineup are either updates to existing blasters with improved power, or recoloured blasters rebranded and reproduced for modern play. Most Elites are available in a blue/white/black colouration with bright orange muzzles and highlights. A sub-line branded N-Strike Elite MEGA introduces large blasters that utilize bigger darts and a bigger/longer plunger with advertised ranges of 100 ft.

** Retaliator: An updated Recon with Slam Fire that comes with a 12-dart extended magazine and a SOPMOD kit-like selection of GunAccessories.

** Hail-fire: An all-new Electrically-Powered Flywheel semi-automatic blaster, the Hailfire sports 8 Magazine slots arranged in a rotary carousel, allowing you to lock on a ''lot'' of ammunition for extended battles. An Advance Handle atop the blaster helps you with easier handling of the blaster's sizeable mass and lets you advance the carousel as you deplete your magazines. The Hailfire's engine and flywheel have been examined by modders and pronounced more reliable and durable than other standard flywheel blasters.
** Strongarm REV-6: A revolver with several improvements in its design, it also sports Slam Fire. Unlike the Spectre or Maverick, it advances its cylinder ''after each shot'', and has a different seal mechanism more in line with the Dart Tag Swarmfire's revolving turret assembly. Has been received very well as a proper successor to the Maverick with the worst of the old revolver's flaws addressed and fixed.
** Firestrike: An updated Nitefinder with a sleeker design and a separate trigger for the integrated red light sight. The butt of its pistol grip has a spur to let you dual wield this blaster and still be able to prime them between shots effectively.
** Stryfe: The OFFICIAL answer to all the Nerf Modders who cut apart their Barricades to modify them for using Clip System magazines, Stryfes are electrically-powered Flywheel semi-auto SMG blasters. Extremely popular with players of ''LARP/HumansVsZombies'', who tend to tape up the magazine sensor to prevent mechanical fault when using the massive extended mags and drum mags.
*** [[http://mylastdart.blogspot.sg/2013/08/new-nerf-elite-stryfe-mission-kit.html Stryfe Mission Kit]]: A SOPMOD styled Stryfe package with the Stockade ammo holder stock, and the Retaliator's barrel extension and assault grip. Includes an 18-dart Clip System magazine with the ammo to match.
** Rough Cut 2x4: A pump-action shotgun blaster, the Rough Cut has 8 muzzle-fed barrels and can shoot them off 2 at a time similar to the Barrel Break IX-2
** Elite Triad EX-3: a unique twist to the Jolt, the Triad has 3 barrels and its air restrictor is designed to only allow one dart to be fired at a time. Its barrel assembly is considerably bulkier, but it's still much smaller than the majority of Elite blasters.
** [[http://sgnerf.blogspot.sg/2013/04/nerf-n-strike-elite-rapidstrike-cs-18.html Rapidstrike CS-18]]: A 2013 blaster design, this [[http://urbantaggers.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/rumours-baidu-elite-rapidstrike-firing.html electrically-powered, flywheel-driven, full-auto carbine/assault rifle blaster]] evokes the [[{{Film/Aliens}} Pulse Rifle]] in its design. The Battery Sled slots in under the barrel, providing a mass counterbalance to the rear-mounted motor that drives this blaster. A sneak preview showed this blaster firing at a rate of 3.6 darts/second.

** [[http://awesomenerfer1999.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/elite-spectre-eye-candy-unboxing.html Elite Spectre REV-5]] - Released first in Asia, the Elite Spectre is a complete overhaul of its N-Strike predecessor, featuring an improved air restrictor seal mechanism that has been adapted from the Elite Strongarm. Like the original Spectre, it has a detachable folding stock and a barrel extension that cosmetically resembles a suppressor.
** [[http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00OTINPD8/ref=s9_hps_bw_g21_i9?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE Slingstrike]]: a small blaster straddling the line between a slingshot and a pistol bow, the Slingstrike uses an elastic string instead of a spring or electrical flywheels.
** The Elite [=XD=] series, which are packaged under the standard Elite banner. They are differentiated by the advertised range being up to 90 feet, as opposed to the 75 foot range of standard Elite blasters.

Ships with two MEGA Dart Technology grenades that are unique to the blaster. Unlike the 2013 Elite blasters the Demolisher ships in Yellow with a White stripe, evocative of the older non-Elite N-Strike Blasters, although the yellow colouration is closer to the 2010 Dart Tag blasters.

The [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/nerf/images/b/ba/4FFA132F50569047F5CE5D461415BE52-1-.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150729024954 Stryfe]] and [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/nerf/images/1/16/EliteXDFirestrike.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150301030754 Firestrike]] have white-on-orange colors like the Demolisher 2-in-1. However, several NERF fans have tested the XD re-releases and found no improvements in the firing ranges or internals over the originals, so they should be considered to be straight recolours.
** [[http://i.imgur.com/BwQqOEC.jpg Dual-Strike]]: A unique blaster that holds up to three Elite darts and three MEGA darts, a selector switch allows you to change which darts are being fired. However since the plunger is designed for firing Elite darts, the power of the MEGA darts is lower than what most MEGA blasters fire at.
** [[https://i5.walmartimages.com/asr/437b0a2c-0509-4ba0-ae23-ac7cf9809f96_1.67e8d03814ab2df6c2c579dd13a0a9c4.jpeg Hyperfire]]: A fully automatic flywheel blaster that fires ''even faster'' than the Rapidstrike, comes with a twenty-five dart drum. Part of the reason it's faster is due to the usage of a mini conveyor belt that pushes darts beneath it into the flywheels. The flywheels themselves are actually off-center from each other to apply spin to a dart, making it fly straighter.
** [[http://www.hasbro.com/common/productimages/en_CA/360a0a4c50569047f50c72f02ee5c6a3/3e6e31252eb4009e00734e6b17f5406e51f11ea5.jpg Stratobow]]: A bow shaped blaster that uses a(n actual) fifteen dart clip before it's pressed downward and cycles to the next dart each time the string is pulled back and fires when it's released. It does not have an internal catch like the Thunderbow so it requires a proper release to fire darts the hardest.
** [[http://blasterparts.com/media/catalog/product/cache/5/image/1500x1500/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/2/0/2043_1500x898.jpg Distruptor]]: A revised Strongarm, literally the only difference is that the cylinder does not pop out of the side and is more accessible to reload.
** [[http://www.toysrus.com/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-24833076enh-z6.jpg Terrascout]]: A successor to the rather underwhelming Terradrone in the Battle Creatures line, the Terrascout instead moves via tank treads and the blaster portion, while still being a FixedForwardFacingWeapon, uses clip-system magazines, is automatic like a [=RapidStrike=] has an attachment point for barrels and two tactical rails. The remote not only has controls for movement and turning but the left trigger is like a rocker switch, allowing you to aim up or down rather than a continuous up-and-down system on the Terradrone. The Terrascout even has a ''live camera'' feeding into the remote, not only allowing you to aim the drone but also to record video and audio. The batteries in the remote are replaceable while the batteries in the drone itself are recharged with the included adapter and cable. All these features give the blaster a rather high asking price of ''$170'' but with all these features, such a price is justified in this case.
** Surgefire: The Elite equivalent to the MEGA [=RotoFury=] with a 15 dart drum, pump action and capable of slam-fire.
** Infinus: A blaster similar in function to the Rapidstrike (returning to the pusher system instead of the upside down conveyor) with one special addition, a funnel just behind the top tactical rail allows you to reload darts one-by-one without having to take out the current magazine. The blaster also has a larger thirty-dart drum, splitting the difference between the thirty-five dart drum of the Raider and the twenty-five dart drum of the Rampage and Hyperfire.

** [[http://sgnerf.blogspot.sg/2013/03/nerf-n-strike-elite-mega-series_27.html Centurion]]: An ''[[{{BFG}} Anti-Materiel Rifle]]'' blaster design released in Fall 2013, the Centurion is slated to be one of the longest new blaster designs with its massive 150cm body length from stock to barrel. Features a ''long'' plunger draw, a bipod, and is slated to use a larger Elite Mega Dart as opposed to other standard Elite blasters that use streamlined Elite Micro Darts. Due to the complexity of the internals, careless use of the blaster's boltsled mech may damage your MEGA darts upon misfeeds.

** [[http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l302/Chris_Lv255/Nerf%20Magnus/SAM_0664_zps5011141c.jpg Magnus]]: A powerful contender for the HandCannon of all Nerf handguns, the Magnus has an integrated magazine and can hold 2 darts while chambering a 3rd at the same time. Keep in mind this pistol ''chambers the same kind of Mega Dart'' as the Centurion, and is marketed has having a maximum effective range of 85 feet. Rereleased as an [=XD=] blaster with 90 foot range.

** [[http://www.mylastdart.com/2014/01/exclusive-new-mega-thunderbow.html Thunderbow]]: A multi-barreled bow blaster that chambers multiple MEGA Darts at once.
*** [[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71wKFW2AcRL._SY355_.jpg Lightning Bow]]: It functions closer to the Stratobow with the fact it lacks an internal catch and the bow arms do not flex. It only fires one dart at a time but four more can be held on the attachable ammo holders.
** [[http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/CycloneShock Cyclone Shock]] ([[http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nerf-N-Strike-Elite-Cyclone-Blaster/dp/B00PAZ627U Amazon page]]): a six-shooter revolver that chambers MEGA Darts. Advertised as an [=XD=] blaster.
** [[http://www.nerfgunattachments.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/nerf_rotofury-e1432934322641.jpg RotoFury]]: A ''ten-dart'' revolver blaster that is pumped by a fore-grip and the first to support slam-fire.
** [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20150113120838/nerf/images/0/0d/Nerf-N-Strike-Elite-Mega-BigShock.jpg BigShock]]: The equivalent of a Jolt designed to fire MEGA darts with an additional one that can be held on the top. The name [=BigShock=] is a play on the synonyms pointing to the fact it's a MEGA Jolt.
** [[http://www.hasbro.com/common/productimages/en_US/ea6daa5050569047f5dfff28e54a7565/98861c9979823bd66f9371d0325132f7fbdf2d4b.jpg Mastodon]]: A flywheel powered ChainsawGripBFG that holds ''twenty four darts'' in a massive drum, fully automatic. It uniquely comes with a sling with metal attachment points, probably to support the weight of the massive blaster.

** [[https://www.blasterhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Nerf-Mega-Doublebreach-Blaster.jpg DoubleBreach]] (sic): A SawnOffShotgun style blaster that breech loads two MEGA darts at a time.
** Twinshock: To put simply, it's the MEGA equivalent of the Rough Cut 2x4 in functionality just with an extra two shots, otherwise it has the same two-stage trigger for single and double fire along with slam fire. Many also note the two-stage trigger to be more reliable than that of the Rough Cut 2x4 or Barrel-Break IX-2 which, especially when you've had them for a while, tend to fire both shots when trying to only fire one via a light trigger pull.

** Thunderhawk: A large bolt-action blaster that takes after the Centurion. It comes with a ten-dart harmonica clip that feeds through the side and the [[RetractableWeapon barrel can be extended along with deploying a non-removable bi-pod]]. Giving the blaster a WaveMotionTuningFork appearance as a bonus. It's marketed as part of the Accustrike series hence the design and the inclusion of special Accustrike MEGA darts that have improved accuracy over their regular counterparts.

** [[https://www.blasterhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Nerf-Accustrike-Falconfire-Blaster.jpg Falconfire]]: A small breech loading pistol with two additional darts held in a magazine-like holder.

** Raptorstrike: The first magazine fed Accustrike blaster with proportions similar to the MEGA Centurion. It's bipod has extendable legs, a button releases a flip-up sight and the stock can hold an extra clip like that of the Longshot. It uses two new CS magazines that are transparent on both sides, hold eight darts and are slanted like the MEGA Centurion magazine.

!NERF Zombie Strike
A Nerf blaster subline released in 2013, this blaster line has a motif revolving around a ZombieApocalypse. May be marketed directly at the ''LARP/HumansVsZombies'' Nerf sub-fanbase. Has a unique Z logo. There's also the Z.E.D. Squad sub-line that releases previous blasters in Zombie Strike fashion. [[http://urbantaggers.blogspot.sg/2013/07/io9-nerf-zombie-strike-full-line-up.html More announcements on new blasters and toys in the lineup]]. 2015 introduces the Biosquad Zombie Repellent Blasters, which are hybrid blasters that have the ability to fire darts and spray water or Zombie Repellent (silly string).

* Notable Blasters:

!NERF Rebelle
A [[http://sgnerf.blogspot.sg/2013/02/nerf-rebelle.html recently-announced series of Nerf blasters aimed at female Nerf fans]], the [[http://www.coolthings.com/nerf-rebelle/ Rebelle]] series of blasters is primarily in white, pink, and purple, and most of the blasters announced for launch are comparatively sleeker, more curved, and otherwise less "tacticool" than the typical N-Strike or Vortex blaster. Several blasters are planned to be released with alternate decal patterns such as the Vine and Phoenix designs, and decoratively decal'd darts are available in packs. There's also a sub-line known as Secrets and Spies that have blasters with special darts on which you can write messages with an invisible ink marker and is only revealed by a red decoder tube or various red parts on the blaster. Another sub-line known as the Super Stripes which has blasters in a black and white stripe pattern alongside the collectible darts it comes with, as the name implies. The Remix sub-line has blasters with peg holes built in, allowing you to decorate the blaster with "glizbits". The Code Red Collection sub-line only contains the Agent Bow and is similar to the Secrets and Spies equivalent. The Charmed sub-line gives the blasters a more medieval or SteamPunk vibe to them with hanging chains able to hold various charms.

* Nerf Overwatch blasters: A product tie-in set, with multiple pistol blasters in both a compact 'Reshelled Jolt' form factor (firing Micro Darts) and in RIVAL ball pistol variants. Current themed blasters include ones for DVA, Tracer, Reaper, and Mei.

!GunAccessories: Pimp my Gun
Nerf N-strike heralded the introduction of gun mods, a natural fit for the semi-realistic designs. Many related accessories were produced by Creator/{{Hasbro}} for the Vortex blasters as well as the Super Soaker water blasters.

!Aftermarket Modding: More Power, More range
While Hasbro officially discourages and recommends against modification of Nerf Blasters, that does not stop the mature fans from breaking out the duct tape and Tim Taylor inside. All proper Nerf fangroups practice safety in their modding, and try to keep the power/pain output of their blaster mods to a minimum.

** Velcro Everywhere: a ''very'' common trend with ''LARP/HumansVsZombies'' players is to employ lots of velcro for holding on to everything, from blasters to Clip System magazines. This also allows players to wear Velcro-based tactical harnesses and hook everything up.
** Plunger Padding: An essential mod for blasters with beefed-up springs and removed air restrictors, to cushion the plunger against damage and muffle the plunger slightly.
** Body Stuffing/Suppression: To minimize the noise from the internals, you can fill in the deadspace inside a blaster's body and cushion the internals with padding where they touch/rest against the shell. Such stuffing can also be used to alter the mass balance of a blaster to make it either easier to handle or improve accuracy by making it more capable of absorbing recoil from the spring and minimizing vibration.

** Over Volting: For most Electrical Blasters, more power means a faster firing rate and/or more shot power. '''Warning''': Stampedes improperly modded in this fashion can misfire uncontrollably like Kalashnikov gas-piston carbines! Furthermore, heat buildup can ''melt'' your blaster.

* Custom Ammo

** Power Stock: A special mod to allow for more spring power to be packed into a blaster, Power Stocking involves permanently fusing a "detachable" stock, preferably a Raider stock, to the blaster, and reworking the shell and internals so the spring can use the space inside the stock for more compression and thus more power. This mod usually requires the use of an aftermarket spring.

** Laser Sights: As with the custom lights, some modders replace the LED lamps with straight-up aligned lasers. '''Warning''': remember to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_safety observe safety precautions]] and discipline as per the laser devices laws (do not [[EyeScream point laser at eyes!]]), and only use low-powered lasers of 3-5 miliwatts or less for sights.
* Rival Speedloader: A unique spring-loaded third party "stripper clip" style speedloader that is designed to quickly push 5 Rival balls into the Kronos's integrated magazine.

The Original Nerf Toy was a soft foam ball marketed for it's softness, which made it quite playable indoors without breaking things.

Because of it's light foam and plastic, it's rather easy to be able to carry this [[{{OneHandedZweihander}} one handed]] for older users. There are two distinct variants, one with a red hilt and another with a black hilt with wasp yellow highlights.

** [[http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/SharpFire SharpFire]]: A modular pistol blaster with a ''unique'' detachable stock and a removable barrel extension, the [=SharpFire=] looks remarkably like a target pistol. The detachable stock can hold additional darts. Interestingly, for a late 2014/early 2015 blaster, the [=Sharpfire=] is marketed simply as 'N-strike' without the Elite branding. A later variant known as the Sharpfire Delta in more "Elite" colors without it's stock or barrel.

** Shot Blast: A pump fired blaster that comes both with a Raider styled adjustable stock and a later release included a decorative aiming scope that eventually made it's way onto the Zombie Strike Clear Shot. Holds 36 fl. oz and has two tactical rails and a stock attachment point.

** Tornado Strike: Each use of the pump handle fires the blaster while spinning the nozzle, making it fire swirling trails of water. Comes with a compact Raider styled stock and 9.2 fl. oz clip.

** Thunderstorm: The first of the Storm blasters but was released before it became it's own sub-line. The blaster comes with a 9 fl. oz clip.

** X-TREME Switch Shot: A pump fired blaster that has a rotating nozzle, allowing you to change the function (jetstream, scattershot, tripleshot, atomizer) similar to multi-function garden hose attachments. It comes with a 20 fl. oz banana clip and a stock similar to the Lightning Storm.

** Thunderhawk: A large bolt-action blaster that takes after the Centurion. It comes with a ten-dart clip that feeds through the side and the [[RetractableWeapon barrel can be extended along with deploying a non-removable bi-pod]]. Giving the blaster a WaveMotionTuningFork appearance as a bonus.

** Phantom Corps Helios: An update over the Apollo, it sports improved ergonomics, a jam door, an updated trigger lock lever safety, and a return spring in the bolt action. Unblike the Apollo, it has a more dedicated SMG design style compared to the older blaster's oversized pistol sculpt.

Another sub series came recently, dubbed the Accustrike series that introduces new darts with a special tip, the aerodynamics of which causing them to spin as they fly through the air, making them more accurate but still allowing them to compress and reduce harm. The overall design scheme for these resemble sci-fi blasters with a WaveMotionTuningFork design and follows AnimalThemeNaming for it's blasters.

[[http://www.blasterlabs.com/2015/02/2015-nerf-rival-details-and-new-photo-released/ A 2015 lineup]] of all-new blasters that return to foam ball-type ammunition, RIVAL blasters are intended to have more power and accuracy than the typical Micro Dart blaster, one of the main reasons being that the ammo has golf ball dimples on them that decreases air resistance, allowing them to fly straighter, farther and harder. The toyline will include protective face masks, and have magazines sold independently of the blasters. A sub-line titled the Phantom Corps introduces blasters that are exclusively black and white.

Because they don't meet the strict safety requirements, the RIVAL blasters are [[NoExportForYou not sold in Australian stores.]]

** Apollo XV-700 Blaster: A slide-action RIVAL Blaster. It is sculpted to resemble an oversized handgun.

** Phantom Corps Prometheus: A 200-ball blaster with a ChainsawGrip and a dedicated cylindrical battery pack. It has the same gumball machine feed mechanism as the Nemesis.

** Apollo XV-700 Blaster: A slide-action RIVAL Blaster.

** Laser Sights: As with the custom lights, some modders replace the LED lamps with straight-up aligned lasers. '''Warning''': remember to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_safety observe safety precautions]] and discipline as per the laser devices laws (do not [[EyeScream point laser at eyes!]]), and only use low-powered lasers of 3-5 miliwatts or less for sights.
