Nerf

What is a Nerf gun?

A Nerf gun (also called a Nerf blaster) is a foam dart toy blaster made by Hasbro that fires soft, safe foam pellets – perfect for action-packed play without the worry! Nerf guns come in all shapes and sizes, from compact models to impressive, big Nerf guns that look straight out of a video game. Nerf toys let kids (and grown-ups!) unleash their inner action hero in safe, exciting play. They're brilliant for imaginative adventures, friendly competitions, and burning off energy, making them a firm family favourite.

How do Nerf guns work?

Most Nerf blasters use air pressure or spring action to fire soft foam darts. When you prime the blaster by pulling back a handle or pump, it stores energy that launches the dart when you pull the trigger. Some blasters, like Nerf Elite 2.0, are motorised for rapid-fire play, while Nerf Gelfire blasters use gel rounds and hoppers for non-stop fun. The Nerf Super Soaker range pumps water into a chamber and releases it in a powerful stream. Whether you’re loading Nerf bullets, priming your blaster, or soaking your friends, Nerf guns are designed for safe, fast-paced fun.

What age are Nerf guns suitable for?

Most Nerf toys suit ages 6+, though gentler, smaller blasters may be suitable for younger ages with parental guidance. The best Nerf guns for kids aged 6–10 are the Nerf Elite and themed blasters like Fortnite Nerf or Minecraft Nerf guns.

Are Nerf guns safe?

Absolutely – Nerf guns are built for safe, active play! The soft foam darts and gel rounds are lightweight and designed for minimal impact. Still, we always recommend wearing eye protection and avoiding face shots, especially with more powerful Nerf guns. 

Do Nerf guns hurt? Not really - they feel more like a gentle tap. However, this is relative to the Nerf device you choose and the players, so always follow age guidance and supervise younger children.
