Choosing The Right Nerf Gun – A Buyer’s Guide
Before you can join the nerf war and show off your skills, you first need to buy your nerf gun, which is often easier said than done. With so much choice and so many different options when it comes to nerf guns, it’s difficult to know how to buy the right toy for you. Making the wrong decision could jeopardise your chances of achieving victory on the battlefield. If you are treating your little ones to a new nerf gun for Christmas or a birthday present, you have added pressure to get the decision right. There are a few things you should consider when on the hunt for a new nerf gun:
Your Fighting Style
Every soldier has their own style when it comes to the battlefield, and your new nerf gun should reflect this and help you make the most of your abilities. Think about if you like to hang back and wait for your enemies to make the first move, or do you prefer being in the centre of the action? Some fighters choose to sneak and hide to get the best shot of their target, whereas others prefer a more upfront approach. Some of the most common fighting styles include:
- Sniper: As a sniper you will be cool and relaxed whilst in battle, with a deep concentration on your target. You’re not going to run out shooting and hoping for the best, instead you will let your opponent’s fight it out amongst themselves and then handle whoever is left standing. Your teammates will be relying on you as the sniper to cover them whilst they are in battle. As a sniper, you’ll want a nerf gun that is lightweight to carry around, can shoot multiple rounds, and allows you to easily target your enemies from a distance.
- Commando: If commando is more your battle style, then you’ll find yourself out in the midst of the nerf war. In the centre of the battlefield, you often find yourself an open target, but you don’t let that get the better of you. Your aggressive and care free fighting style often leads you to a triumphant victory. As a commando fighter, you need a nerf gun that reflect this. Look for toy guns that let you fire multiple rounds with a single trigger and are easy to reload on the go.
- Stealth: When the idea of running out into the battlefield and shooting everyone in sight sends you into a panic, then chances are you’re more of a stealth fighter. As a stealth fighter, your style is to take out your opponents with a single clean shot instead of a spray of darts. You move quickly and quietly, often going undetected so you can sneak up on your enemies. You have the element of surprise on your side already, but you need the perfect nerf gun to complete your team. You should avoid any battery operated nerf guns completely as the noise will spoil your game. Choose a nerf gun that is lightweight and easy to carry so you can move quickly.
- A Mix: Not everyone has one specific fighting style, and you might prefer a combination of tactics to get yourself to victory in a nerf war. If you are a versatile fighter, then your nerf gun needs to be just as versatile as you are. Look out for a customisable nerf gun that can be transformed to meet your every requirement.
Types Of Nerf Gun
Once you have identified your style and have a clear idea of the characteristics you need from your nerf gun, the next step is to choose the type of toy gun you need. There are a few different types for you to take your pick from such as:
- Pistol: Easily the most popular option for nerf guns, and for good reason. A pistol style nerf gun is lightweight and can be used in just one hand, giving you the flexibility you need to move around the battlefield. Most of these types will only allow you to shoot one dart at a time, but you can often find a model that is versatile enough to take different types of darts. Pistol nerf guns are usually the cheapest options and make for a great first nerf for young kids. Perfect for those fighters with a stealthy fighting style who need a nerf gun that allows you to move easily and sneak around unnoticed.
- Shotgun: A shotgun style nerf gun will allow you to carry more ammo than other types, making them a super fun option for everyone. Most of these will give you the option to fire more than one dart at a time, which is ideal if you have a commando fighting style.
- Rifle: A bigger type of nerf gun than the others, rifle toys require two hands on them at all times. Although they are bigger, they often aren’t very heavy and will have more power than their smaller counterparts. A rifle nerf gun will have a longer range than a pistol toy and usually have larger magazines too. These nerf guns are super popular among those who play nerf battles competitively and within leagues. They will generally have a bigger price tag than other nerf guns but are worth the extra.
- Speciality: As well as these three main types of nerf gun, you also have the option to get a speciality nerf gun. This includes battery operated machine gun style nerf guns, hold out pistols, or even bow and arrows. For those with a mixed fighting style, these speciality guns are great as they can often be modified and personalised to suit your needs.
Ammunition Options
Different nerf guns will have different ammunitions that they are compatible with, and this is another thing to bear in mind when you are choosing your toy weapon. Some nerf guns will only work with one type of ammunition, whilst others will be compatible with various different types. If you want the flexibility of being able to choose your ammunition depending on your battle, then look for a nerf gun that can work with various types. It is also always worthwhile buying additional darts alongside your nerf gun, as they are easy to lose out on the battlefield.
No matter your fighting style or nerf gun type preference, investing in a nerf gun for yourself or your kids is an undeniable way to have a bit of fun. They are the ultimate toy for the adrenaline junkie.
