* FanNickname: Certain ''Rebelle'' models that draw obvious inspiration from N-Strike designs, such as the "Rebellicade" (Fearless Fire, which mimics the Barricade) or "Rebellecon" (Rapid Glow, which mimics the Recon).

* AmericansHateTingle:
** Some cases of NoExportForYou could be because many other countries [[ValuesDissonance take much more negative stances]] on the use of guns and on the depiction of violence.
** Australians, due to firearms laws which even requires bb/airsoft/paintball guns to be registered and used only by licenced persons (which is extremely hard to get, and if you are doing it you may as well take up competitive target shooting or hunting), are on the height of homemade dart design.

** Elite 2.0. The idea of an updated version of all the Elite blasters with a new aesthetic and paintjob sounds like a great idea on paper, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired by fans of the original models. However, probably the biggest sticking point of the line is that many of the blasters are designed in such a way that ''opening them up is extremely difficult even for experienced blaster modders,'' blasters that were previously held together by Philips head screws are now a mixture of screws, plastic tabs, and the occasional ''solvent weld'' that threatens to damage the blaster if you pull it apart the wrong way (and you most likely will). It almost feels like Hasbro executives now officially have it out for the Nerf mod community. The most notorious of these has to the the Phoenix, which was made to and has completely replaced the Stryfe, often seen as the holy grail of moddable Nerf blasters, on store shelves.

** The Nerf Ultra series drew a lot of criticism for switching to an easily-deformed polystyrene dart instead of using the traditional expanding foam, and the comparatively high prices made it even more unpopular due to RIVAL blasters being in the same price bracket and performing better.

** Storing extra clips inside the stock, or somewhere else in the blaster, seems to be just a simple gimmick. Until you realize it's a children's toy that has a convenient feature that real firearms, airsoft/BB guns, and paintball guns don't even have. (ignoring that airsoft is justified in that they store batteries instead of ammo in the space.)
** Amusingly, some of the carbine-style automatic blasters [[note]]The Stampede[[/note]] feature similar problems to ACTUAL gas-piston carbines, wherein a specific type of mechanical failure makes them shoot uncontrollably until they deplete their magazine. There's ShownTheirWork, and then there's replicating an actual mechanical fault in real weaponry...

** Jolt reskin.[[note]]The tendency for the basic Jolt to being recolored, combined with other Nerf blasters being little more than reshells of the Jolt's basic direct plunger system, has led to nearly all Nerf blasters (flywheel semiautos get a pass... at times) being dismissed ironically as Jolt reskins. By the time when the Microshot series is introduced, ''literal'' Jolt reskins are now a thing.[[/note]]

* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound: For all its faults, the MEGA Centurion's "KA-THUNK!" when firing is satisfying. Most MEGA blasters have a beefy noise for their major plungers to launch the larger darts.
