I recently published a buyer's guide article here about the 10 Best Nerf Guns For Toddlers and Small Children because sometimes there's just no stopping the little ones when they have their mind set on something. And if they see their older sibling (or you) playing with a Nerf gun, there's basically no stopping them from getting their hands on the thing.
So, if you'd rather embrace their curiosity, get them a Nerf gun that's small and weak and suitable for them. I mean, right? That used to be tricky and hard to do, but it looks like the future holds a different fate for the little ones who want to be Nerfers. Nerf recently introduced a new line of Nerf guns called Nerf Elite Junior which is for even younger Nerfers than Nerf's usually 8+ demographic. These new dart blasters are now labeled as being suitable for 6 year old children. The Nerf Elite Junior products are smaller, with even smaller handles, and they feature very easy, low force pull or pump to prime blasters. Epic win.
X-Shot has got into the Gel blaster game now too with their flagship model, the X-Shot Hyper Gel HPG-700, which looks like a blaster version of the Remington ACR. Complete with rechargeable battery, select-fire, and a 700 round mag. Neat.
The Rekt OpFour CO2 Powered Foam Dart Launcher is an off-brand semi-auto Nerf gun that highly resembles an M4 carbine, both in shape and size. The OpFour is powered by double 12g CO2 cartridges, which are loaded into the buffer tube stock.
The Lehui LP55 Dart Blaster is a Dart Zone clone, no doubt. But it's so much more than that. The LP55 combines the compact form factor of the Dart Zone Pro MK-2 with the in-grip mag loading of the DZP MK-2.1. It's the best of both worlds!
Your flimsy foam blaster is now obsolete. The X-Shot Pro Piston Pump AEB is a motorized, 160 FPS, half-dart terror designed to annihilate your opponents with extreme, pinpoint accuracy. Dominate your rivals and win with undeniable style!
The Nerf Rival Hera is a beautiful Goddess-like Nerf Rival Stryfe. Semi-automatic High-Impact Rounds come flying out of the Hera as fast as you can pull the trigger. Then load another mag into the grip and do it all over again!
If you know any Nerfers that also play Overwatch, this might be the perfect gift. This Rival series Nerf gun features a breech-loaded internal magazine with a 3-round capacity and styling that resembles D'Va's signature weapon from the game.
If Chuck Norris was a Nerf gun, he'd be the Nerf Rival Roundhouse XX-1500, a Rival pistol that looks like a sidearm but packs quite the punch! It has the power of a roundhouse kick and the ammo capacity of a primary class Nerf blaster!
The Nerf Fortnite Flare Dart Blaster is the flare gun from Fortnite. (Duh!) It's a single shot, pull-to-prime, Mega dart blaster. It features break-open dart loading and includes 3 Mega Darts. The Nerf War applications for this are endless
The MK-3 Pro isn't just your average electric Nerf gun or X-Shot blaster. It's much more powerful and features a Select-Fire mode that's unique, even amongst high power flywheel blasters! Includes stock, red dot sight, and 2 magazines.
