* FiringOneHanded: Most of the smaller handgun-like blasters can be fired one handed easily due to their lack of weight and recoil compared to their firearm equivalents, even the [[HandCannon CycloneShock]], but priming them still requires both hands. In most cases it's best to have your offhand on the priming slide instead of using a Weaver-hold. Blasters like the [=HammerShot=] and Lawbringer can be fired one-handed with their single-action hammer prime or even the Zombie Strike Slingfire, [[MeaningfulName befitting it's name]], can use a [[OneHandedShotgunPump slinging action to prime and fire the blaster one-handed.one-handed]] a la [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay [=T-800=]]]. Flywheel and automatic blasters such as the Stryfe and Hyperfire can be fired one-handed as well.

** The new Elite 2.0 Warden is infamous for breaking easily only after a few uses. Sadly, unlike N-Strike Elite, the shells of Elite 2.0 blasters have been solvent-welded, pinned, and clipped together, making repairs and mods extremely difficult if not impossible.

* BayonetYa: Attaching N-Force weapons to blasters wasn't uncommon for modders. Eventually, the Modulus Close Combat Upgrade Kit includes a rail blade that can be attached to your blaster or used on it's own, similar to a hilted bayonet. The Perpetual Play Group's Chainsaw in the Zombie Strike Z.E.D. Squad line takes it to ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'' levels as it can be attached to a blaster via a similar rail.

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: The Raider's "slam-fire" pump lets you put a lot of darts out there really fast. Your accuracy drops to nil, but who needs that when you can [[MoreDakka fill an area with darts?]] The N-Strike Elite ''Rampage'' takes after the Raider despite having ten less darts and lacking the stock of it's predecessor but features the higher ranges with it's direct plunger. Just note when we refer to NERF shotguns, they can either be blasters that are primed with a shotgun pump or blasters that actually fire more than one dart in a single prime.
