How To Shoot A Nerf Gun Accurately? The 127 Detailed Answer

Are you looking for an answer to the topic “how to shoot a nerf gun accurately“? We answer all your questions at the website Chewathai27.com/ppa in category: Aodaithanhmai.com.vn/ppa/blog. You will find the answer right below.

How do I make my Nerf gun shoot better?

Do anything that applies to what you want to use your Nerf gun for. Aim slightly above the target. Nerf darts drop over distance due to air resistance, and physics so aiming slightly above your target will give the dart the velocity it needs to hit the target.

Do Nerf barrels increase accuracy?

Barrel extensions are said to make blasters more accurate; however, the popular Elite Dart and previously popular Streamline Dart are known to be inaccurate, even with extensions equipped. Barrel extensions also usually cause a decrease in range due to added friction depending on the size of the tube inside the barrel.

What is the most accurate Nerf bullet?

Nerf AccuStrike Elite darts are designed for accuracy and are the most accurate Nerf Elite darts. They are compatible with all Nerf blasters that use Elite darts, so you can use them with N-Strike Elite, AccuStrike Elite, Zombie Strike, and Modulus blasters.

Why is my Nerf gun weak?

The spring piston air chamber in your blaster may be broken causing air to exit the chamber when firing. This can drastically reduce the maximum firing range of your device by making the stored energy much less effective.

When you see the tiny hole on the side of the plunger tube, fill it with PVA glue or hot glue and wait for it to dry. Then pull out the piston and remove the rubber ring on the piston and where it used to be wrapped in gorilla tape or bike rim tape and then put the rubber ring back on, but before you put the piston back into the piston tube, take a healthy one amount of grease and smear it into the tube.

Are shorter barrels less accurate?

Longer barrels are not more accurate. If anything, it’s quite the opposite. Shorter, stiffer barrels tend to vibrate more consistently and are probably more accurate on average.

By Craig Boddington

A few years before I retired from the Marine Corps, there was an initiative at headquarters calling for a wholesale replacement of the M16A2 rifle with the M4 carbine, which upgraded the rifle’s 20″ barrel to the 14.5″ tube of the M4 would have reduced. At the time, I was an operations officer with the I Marine Expeditionary Force, so it really wasn’t any of my business, but I was going insane. The apparent loss of speed and consequent reduced energy and range worried me.

This was in the Middle Ages, before marines had fully adopted optic sights, and I was equally concerned about the loss of precision when using combat sights with the M4’s much shorter view radius. I did a lot of research and wrote a paper, and while it may never have been read, our naval gunners ended up keeping the longer barrel.

Unless you’re going “retro” with a hunting rifle or competing in a competitive discipline that requires a sight, it’s an optical sighting world now, so the improved precision of longer sight radii on longer barrels doesn’t matter. Therefore, choosing the ideal barrel length revolves around speed (which affects trajectory and energy), handling characteristics, and maneuverability. We must also consider the duration and purpose of the action.

Since 1934, “long guns” have been defined as having at least a 16.1 inch barrel. There are no absolute values, but I think “short” barrels today are 20 inches or less. “Standard” barrels are between 21 and 24 inches, for example. What I consider “long” barrels are those longer than 24 inches, although barrels with a crown longer than 26 inches are uncommon today.

Long barrels used to be much more fashionable. I have a Sharps .50-90 with a 30″ barrel, not uncommon for the large single shots of the 19th century. A century ago, Westley Richards had good success with his .318 and .425 Westley Richards rifles, which bore “standard” 28 inch barrels. There are also counterexamples. Prior to 1934, Winchester offered trapper carbines in 14 and 15 inch barrels.

Personal taste plays a big part, and while it may not be possible to suggest a ‘best’ yardage, let’s see if we can make sense of it.

First speed. Longer barrels produce higher velocity because the propellant burns more completely. However, over-length barrels have diminishing returns depending on the cartridge, caliber, and propellant. It’s often said that we can expect a speed change of around 20 to 25 fps per inch of barrel loss. This is approximate but not far off if we start with an “average” barrel of around 23 inches.

As of this writing, the longest barrels I own for modern cartridges are 26 inches. I could take a 26″ barrel, chronograph a load, and then saw the barrel inch by inch, recording the velocity as I did. Oh no. I will not ruin a good cask. All we would learn is how much velocity per inch was lost with that cartridge, that charge, in that barrel.

Case design is important. Short, fat cartridges are more efficient than long, slim cases and tend to generate more velocity in shorter barrels. The .308 Win. is more efficient than the .30-06. The short, thick 6.5mm Creedmoor case is more efficient than the 6.5×55. The short magnums are more efficient than the belted magnums they emulate.

Shorter, thicker cases tend to get full velocity in slightly shorter barrels due to efficiency. This can bring advantages when choosing (from left) the .308 over the .30-06 or the .375 Ruger over the .375 H&H.

The caliber in relation to the case also plays a role. Overbore capacity means you’re burning too much powder into too small a hole. I’m one of the last fans of the .264 Win. Mag. It is and always has been an exaggerated capacity. Likewise the 7 mm Shooting Times Westerner and 7 mm Rem. ultramag. This isn’t the death knell, but it does mean you need longer barrels to burn all of the powder.

My .264 has a 26 inch barrel – and needs it. Similarly, the Weatherby AccuMark pictured in the main photo I used on a caribou hunt was chambered in q6.5-300 Wby. Mag. This very fast 6.5mm is overbored and needs the long barrel.

Propellants vary widely in burning rates. In a perfect world, the propellant burns and the gases expand, accelerating the bullet until it reaches the end of the barrel. At this point all of the propellant has been burned and the bullet exits at its maximum velocity. But how often does that really happen?

Now comes the wild card. Due to internal roughness or smoothness and variations in internal dimensions, seemingly identical barrels of the same caliber and chamber vary significantly in the velocity they produce. There are “fast” and “slow” barrels. (And no, you can’t order an “extra fast” keg.)

Case design efficiency aside, it should be obvious that a short cartridge requires less barrel than a long cartridge. A .300 WSM is half an inch shorter than a .300 Win. Mag. and .75 inch shorter than a .300 Wby. So Mag. barrels for shorter cartridges have a little more grooves and fewer chambers, right? But now we’re splitting hairs.

Most factory ballistics are based on 24 inch barrels. So if you have a 22″ barrel you probably won’t reach the published speeds. Don’t worry. Most non-magnum cartridges work well in 22″ barrels. Most magnum cartridges work well in 24″ barrels. You may do better with 26″ barrels, but is there a wild animal or target that can tell a 100 fps difference?

These two rifles share the same 22-inch barrel length, but a single-shot is much shorter overall than a captive bolt gun, for example. Conversely, in an action like the single shot, you could have a longer barrel but keep the overall length the same.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve never dealt with short barrels. However, velocity loss typically increases per inch on barrels much shorter than 22 inches. My wife has a beautiful Dakota 7mm-08 with a 21″ barrel. The 7mm-08 is efficient and an inch means little. As long as you know your velocity – and your bullet’s ballistic coefficient – you can know your trajectory.

Longer runs are not more accurate. If anything, it’s just the opposite. Shorter, stiffer barrels tend to vibrate more evenly and are likely to be more accurate on average. However, the quality of the barrel and bedding are far more important, so we’ll leave accuracy out of this discussion.

Handling and handiness count. I’m 5ft 9″ Mr. Joe Average and I’ve hunted very happily with barrels from 16 to 28″, a full foot difference in barrel length. Rarely have I felt handicapped by an overly long barrel on a particular rifle.

My wife and one of my daughters are small and find long runs cumbersome. This is noticeable in the bush when a longer barrel is sticking out above their heads, and on rough ground when the stock swings down to ankle height.

Many readers will recall that I had an accurate 8mm Rem. Mag. with 28 inch barrel. I also had an old Westley Richards .318 with a 28″ barrel that I used in Africa. I’ve used this long-barreled 8mm everywhere. The concept behind this was to squeeze out as much speed as possible – basically transporting a ton of energy 600 yards. I’ve certainly never shot a game this far, but that was the idea.

advertisement

I’ve done quite a bit of elk hunting with the 8mm and have used it on several mountain hunts. Eventually I stopped using it because it was heavy, not because I felt handicapped by the length. The weight wasn’t in the barrel, it was in the dense English wood and the mercury reducer in the butt – partly to subdue it a bit, but also to keep the balance with that extra-long barrel.

Regardless of barrel length, I want a rifle to balance near the front of the breech so it’s not butt or muzzle heavy. Around the hinge pin seems perfect on a double, and somewhere near the front receiver ring feels right for a bolt action rifle. This balance is comfortable to wear and lets the weapon rise lively and unerringly.

Mind you, balance isn’t just about yardage. It can also be affected by barrel taper, but if you want a long and thick barrel like a heavy varminter, it’ll likely be barrel-heavy.

I don’t recall ever feeling handicapped by the long barrels of either the 8mm or the .318. However, I always hunted from moderate cover, never in dense stuff or in close quarters. I can’t imagine hunting elephants in heavy cover with an original 28″ .425 barrel – yet hundreds of these rifles have been purchased by African game departments.

While they lose some speed, shorter barrels are more manageable in situations like blinds and tree stands.

One of the easiest ways to use a longer barrel is to use a shorter action. The turnbolt action is the longest of our bolt styles. Since there is no bolt-action mechanism, single-shot and double-barrelled rifles have the shortest actions of all. My Ruger No. 1 Light Sporter with a 22″ barrel is 4.5″ shorter overall than a Balickie Custom .270 with the same length barrel.

advertisement

This basically means I can have an extra four inches of barrel without adding to the rifle length. In fact I have. My Ruger no. 1 Medium Sporter in .300 H&H with 26″ barrel is exactly the same overall length as this .270 Balickie.

I’m not advocating single shots here. I love them, but I also love bolt actions. However, if you want a longer barrel without increasing weapon length, a shorter action is one way to do it. Many lever hoists are slightly shorter than bolt guns. A Savage 1899 .250-3000 with a 22″ barrel is about 1.75″ shorter than the .270. Semi-autos vary by cartridge but are usually slightly shorter than captive bolt guns.

Obviously, short action captive bolt guns are shorter than standard or magnum length actions. The straight trigger Blaser R8, which places the trigger assembly under the magazine rather than behind the magazine, is much shorter than traditional turn bolts. My 22″-barreled Blaser R8 is three inches shorter overall than the Balickie .270. This Blaser with a 24″ .300 barrel is three inches shorter than a Jarrett .300 with the same length barrel. The Blaser could have extra long barrels and get more speed without being longer than similar chambered pull-bolts, but these 24″ barrels are fast enough for me.

The only real benefit I can think of to a long run is gaining more speed. I used to think I needed all the speed I could get, but even an extreme speed difference on the order of 200 fps due to run length doesn’t make a significant difference in the field.

However, as a hunter, I want energy from range, especially on larger game. Not necessarily everything I can get, but enough. So I probably won’t go sheep hunting with a short-barreled rifle. And why should I? Gun weight is always an issue up in the mountains, but gun length means little.

advertisement

On the other hand, there are situations where shorter barrels and shorter rifles offer significant advantages. The Winchester Model 70 .375 before ’64 had a 25 inch barrel. Mine was a left handed conversion and I’ve used it a lot – enough to burn out a barrel. With a continuous action and that barrel, I never found it unwieldy, but it was long.

On my first bongo hunt in 1996, I had a chance in three weeks. On day 18, after several hours of tracking, I caught a glimpse of a red animal moving in thick stuff. Maybe there was a shot, maybe not, but I couldn’t pick up the rifle and a split second passed.

Ever since then, I’ve relived that moment over and over again. Maybe, just maybe, I could have shot with a shorter barrel.

Most of the problems I’ve had with long barrels have been blinds. Box blinds, often with low roofs, are endemic to Texas, but they are found everywhere. When an animal appears, the trick is to quietly bring the rifle to the right window.

This is difficult enough without the barrel banging on the ceiling, wall or window frame. The longer the run, the more difficult. I’ve used 26″ bolt action rifles in many blinds and felt like a contortionist trying to use the rifle silently – and I wasn’t always successful.

advertisement

Hunting with hounds is another situation where short barrels win. You always crawl through thick stuff. When you get to the dogs, the shot is close, so speed doesn’t matter much. Hunting dogs invariably use short carabiners. Short-barreled, lever-action .30-30s are the favorites, and some gunhound hunters still use the Remington Model 600 in .350 Rem. Like.

The only guns I have with really short barrels are a Winchester M94 Trapper .30-30 with a 16.1″ barrel and a Marlin 1894 .44 Mag. with a 16.5″ barrel. Both guns are handy in dense brush and great in tight blinds. However, I only use them in situations where shots well over 100 yards are unlikely.

I also have rifles with 20 inch barrels, ARs and lever action carbines. They’re handy too, but I never think they’re lacking in skills.

At the other end of the spectrum, I own bolt action and single shot rifles with 26 inch barrels. The single shots are surprisingly short and manageable for so much running. The Bolt Actions are neither; They are long-barreled rifles chambered with overbored-capacity cartridges and make good use of the longer barrels. This includes my .264 Win. Mag., 6.5-300 Wby. Mag., .300 Wby. Mag. and a Lazzeroni 7.82 Warbird.

Today, most of my rifles carry either 22 or 24 inch barrels, the two most common barrel lengths on current sporting guns. My 22″ barrels are all chambered with “standard” cartridges: 6.5mm Creedmoor, .270, .308 and .30-06.

advertisement

The 24 inch barrels are mostly magnums (belted and unbelted) or large calibers. These barrel lengths aren’t set in stone, and there are anomalies: the mate to the 21″ 7mm-08 barrel I mentioned is a .257 Roberts carrying a 23″ barrel. My CZ .375 H&H has a 25″ barrel.

For most of us, for most purposes, the range is probably from 20 to 26 inches, depending on the action, cartridge, purpose and how much you value portability. A few inches of travel either way doesn’t mean much, but give it some serious thought before going extra short or extra long.

Does cutting down a barrel affect accuracy?

In general, shorter barrels with the same barrel profile will be stiffer than longer barrels just like how a long rope bridge will bounce a lot more than a short one. For short distance, you’re not hurt at all using a shorter barrel, which is why rifles like the Remington 700 SPS Tactical make do with stubby barrels.

Amazon.com

I’ve been told too many times that longer barrels are more accurate and that short barreled rifles suck or that 26″ is the “best” ideal. A quick Googling of the topic didn’t turn up any really decent articles either (Yahoo Answers DOES NOT count.) So does run length affect accuracy?

Answer: Not really and it depends because a few factors come into play. Especially for hunters, the differences between a 24″ and 20″ barrel are minimal.

Cylinder stiffness helps reduce harmonic problems. Barrels whip when the rifle is fired, and generally a thicker, stiffer barrel is more forgiving and accurate overall. Some thin barrels may have a particular brand or style of cartridge that they really like and are still very accurate with. In general, shorter barrels with the same barrel profile are stiffer than longer barrels, just like a long rope bridge will spring a lot more than a short one. At close range, you won’t injure yourself at all by using a shorter barrel, which is why rifles like the Remington 700 SPS Tactical get by with short barrels. So score one for shorter barrels.

At longer ranges, ballistics become important. Faster bullets drift less in the wind, have fewer drops, and have a shorter flight time. How can you get more speed out of the same cartridge? Use a longer barrel and appropriate powder load to gain more speed. Optimum barrel length depends on the cartridge, which is why it’s common to see .223 and .308 rifles with shorter barrels, but you’d be completely stupid to downsize your 300 win mag rifle to 18″. Still score a hit for longer runs, especially at longer ranges.

When using iron sights, a longer barrel gives a larger sighting radius and therefore allows for more accurate use of those sights and fewer aim errors. This also works on shotguns where that bead stays way out, and that’s why many trap shooters use longer-barreled shotguns (along with the smooth swing of a longer-barreled shotgun). This effect is most extreme in pistols, where the difference between a 4″ barrel pistol and a 5″ is quite important (all other aspects being equal.)

Does any of this matter to a hunter using a hunting rifle in a common hunting cartridge in a factory standard barrel length?

No! If you want a compact hunting rifle, use 308 or other short barreled cartridge in an 18 inch rifle. If you want to pound deer a few spaces further, use your long-barreled 300 Win mag or your 7mm Rem mag. The truth is that other variables such as ammo quality, rifle setting, stock fit, trigger, etc. are far more important to practical accuracy than barrel length.

Are longer barrels better?

A longer rifle barrel is not more accurate. The sight radius is longer (with iron sights and not a scope) which is better for the shooter to get a more accurate aim. Increased accuracy in a longer rifle barrel is a myth. There are many factors that affect accuracy in a rifle but barrel length is not one.

I read a lot about guns on Wikipedia. I know most of the firearm terminology. However, I was wondering why some firearms like shotguns and rifles have very long barrels as opposed to small handguns like revolvers and pistols which typically have shorter barrels.

I know there are functional differences between the types of weapons I’ve described: shotguns typically fire shogun shells with pellets, rifles have “rifles” in their barrels, pistols are hand-held without a buttstock, revolvers have a cylinder of cartridges that expand turn. (This description is rough and is not intended to be a very accurate definition of each weapon type).

Despite this, shotguns, rifles, and snipers typically have longer barrels than pistols and revolvers (although there are handguns with long barrels).

There is an article on the subject here

The question is: What are the advantages and disadvantages of running length differences? And does a longer barrel improve accuracy?

I made some hypotheses. I list them here. :

– Longer barrels are used for higher explosive ammunition because the barrel can contain the expanded gases, causing them to push the bullet down a longer barrel, giving the bullet more energy.

-A longer barrel means the sight is wider and thus one can get more accurate shots as the two alignment marks are wider and therefore in order to appear aligned to the eye they need to be “more aligned” than with a shorter barrel.

How far do Nerf guns shoot?

Firing distances for N-Strike Elite Blasters are advertised as up to 75 feet (23 m) for U.S. models, while international models (identifiable by their grey triggers) have a maximum firing distance of 15 metres (49 ft). The average Nerf blaster fires darts at around 70 ft/s (21 m/s).

“Do not accept substitutes” Official Website

A Nerf N-Strike Longshot CS-6

A Nerf Blaster is a Hasbro toy gun that fires foam darts, discs, or foam balls. The term “Nerf gun” is often used to describe the toy;[1] however, it is often used as a generic term for any foam dart blaster, whether branded Nerf or not. Nerf blasters are made in several forms; The first Nerf blasters appeared in the late 1980s with the release of the Nerf Blast-a-Ball[2] and Arrowstorm. Today, Hasbro has made over twenty unique lines of Nerf-branded blasters, each centered around a specific theme or ammo type. In addition, Hasbro has also produced Nerf blasters based on specific franchises including Marvel Comics, Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Fortnite, Transformers, Overwatch, Halo Infinite, and Roblox. Nerf blasters are available in several international marketplaces, although some blasters have changed names or are not sold in certain countries due to laws regarding toy safety franchises.

Most Nerf brand blasters and similar blasters come packaged with a set of ammo that they fire, and ammo refills are also sold separately in bulk or purchased online. Some blasters can also be customized with specially made attachments that are either included with the blaster or sold separately. Many non-Nerf blasters are also compatible with Nerf-branded darts and magazines to leverage the brand’s existing ecosystem.

Nerf blasters have been hailed for their popularity, particularly among boys and young adults. Additionally, a community has grown around Nerf blasters as competitive and casual “Nerf Wars” in various forms are common among enthusiasts, similar to airsoft and paintball. A significant modding community has also formed among enthusiasts, aiming to improve the performance and accuracy of existing blasters through improved parts and different types of ammunition.

Modern Product Lines[ edit ]

Technical design of a Nerf Triad EX-3 blaster

This list consists exclusively of Nerf-branded blasters released since 2003.

A man firing an N-Strike Stampede ECS

First introduced in 2003, N-Strike blasters established many of the trends seen in modern dart blasters. These darts feature a colored foam body with a rubberized plastic tip to improve range and accuracy. Additionally, some N-Strike blasters like the Recon CS-6 also featured the ability to customize them with attachments, a common sight with today’s blasters. Some magazine-fed N-Strike blasters required a different ammo type than non-magazine-fed ones, however the ammo type has been updated and homogenized between all blaster types with the successor line N-Strike Elite.

In 2010, the Stampede ECS – a bipod-mounted, battery-powered blaster loaded with dart magazines [3] – won Boy Toy of the Year at the 11th Annual Toy of the Year Awards at American International Toy Fair in New York City.[4] Popular Mechanics hailed it as “the best Nerf gun ever” because it’s easy to use and less prone to jamming than previous battery-powered Nerf models.[3]

N-Strike Elite [ edit ]

On August 1, 2012, the N-Strike series was superseded by the N-Strike Elite, which improved internal mechanisms for better firing distances and a faster rate of fire. Shooting distances for N-Strike Elite blasters are advertised as up to 75 feet (23m) for US models, while international models (identified by their gray triggers) have a maximum shooting distance of 15 meters (49 feet). The average Nerf blaster fires darts at around 21 m/s (70 ft/s).[5]

N-Strike Mega [ edit ]

N-Strike Mega, officially N-Strike Mega Series, is a line of blasters that fire red ammo, larger in size and diameter than most darts. Nerf advertises mega blasters as firing at “mega” ranges of up to 30m (100ft). In addition, they are also designed to whistle through the air when fired. Mega was originally marketed as a sub-series of N-Strike and N-Strike Elite, but became its own series in 2016.

Elite XD [ edit ]

Some Nerf N-Strike Elite and N-Strike Mega blasters were originally advertised with improved XD ranges of 85-90 ft (26-27 m) for US models and 72 ft (22 m) for International models. However, Hasbro later adjusted its marketing campaign for these blasters to no longer claim performance improvements after consumers found them negligible. Many XD blasters were simply their N-Strike Elite and N-Strike Mega counterparts encased in different colored plastic.

Equip yourself[edit]

Gear Up was a limited edition of certain N-Strike blasters painted orange and black instead of their usual blue color. They were produced as a promotion for Hasbro’s then-upcoming Nerf Vortex line of blasters, and blasters contained a sample of the new Vortex ammo. Due to their short production time, Gear Up blasters have been a coveted collector’s item, and the range includes re-skins of the Raider CS-35, Maverick REV-6, Barricade RV-10 and Recon CS-6.

N-Strike module [ edit ]

N-Strike Modulus (formerly Nerf Modulus Series) is a sub-line of the N-Strike Elite Series with an emphasis on customization through attachments and accessories. Many modulus blasters came with a variety of new and unique attachments. For example, the Nerf Tri-Strike came with attachments for firing mega darts and foam rockets in addition to the standard N-Strike Elite darts. These blasters are typically white and gray, with additional accent colors like green and blue.

AccuStrike series [ edit ]

The AccuStrike series is a category of Nerf blasters released in Spring 2017. Some AccuStrike blasters are unique to the line, while others are re-skins of blasters from other lines. They contain and are said to fire an updated dart of the same name, said to improve accuracy. However, AccuStrike darts and blasters are cross-compatible with those in the N-Strike Elite line.

Zombie Strike [ edit ]

Introduced in 2013[6], the Zombie Strike series features blasters similar in performance to the N-Strike Elite series; Some of these are simple re-skins. Zombie Strike Blasters are themed as guns found in a toolshed, and are often green and orange in color. The Zombie Strike line also has several variants, such as:

Z.E.D Squad, simple recolors of existing blasters

, simple recolors of existing blasters Power Shock , a sub-series featuring blasters with built-in lights and sounds themed around the human survivors who discover a way to power their blasters

, a sub-series containing blasters with built-in lights and sounds centered around the human survivors discovering a way to power their blasters in a Survival System that focuses on optional attachments, similar to the Modulus line

rebel [edit]

Nerf Rebelle is a line introduced in Fall 2013 aimed at the female demographic. As such, Rebelle blasters incorporate feminine designs and pastel colors. This line has been discontinued as of 2020.[7]

vortex [ edit ]

The Nerf Vortex line, introduced in 2011, uses “XLR” (“Xtra Long Range”) foam discs as opposed to darts.[8] They came in three different colors, green, white, or glow in the dark. These discs can travel longer distances than arrows fired from original N-Strike blasters (up to 20 m (65 ft) [9]) and can also ricochet off walls. [10] [11]

Hasbro relaunched the line as the Vortex VTX in fall 2018.[12]

nitro [edit]

Nerf Nitro is a brand of blasters that fire foam cars instead of darts. Each nitro set includes accessories like obstacles to hit and ramps to get the cars airborne.[13]

Alpha Strike[ edit ]

Introduced in August 2019, Nerf Alpha Strike is a blaster line that is much more affordable and cheaply built compared to other Nerf lines. Conceived as a budget series, it was introduced to compete with competing brands of blasters, which often sell at lower prices than their Nerf-branded counterparts.[14]

super [edit]

Released in September 2019, the Nerf Ultra blasters (branded as ULTRA) fire an updated, proprietary dart design that’s marketed as firing over 120 feet (37 m),[15] the longest advertised distance of any blaster in the Brand Nerf. Ultra darts are made from a lightweight foam that is quite different from traditional darts as they are made from closed cell foam rather than open cell foam. This construction allows fins to be molded into the back of the darts. Ultra darts are between N-Strike Elite and Mega darts in diameter but shorter than both in length. Ultra darts and blasters are not cross-compatible with ammo from other Nerf lines, a decision made in response to the growing number of third-party darts being offered for N-Strike Elite blasters at a much lower price point than branded darts Nerf are available.[16 ]

Many Ultra Blasters are black and white in color with “ULTRA” emblazoned in gold text on the side. The first blaster in the Ultra line was the Nerf Ultra One and has since seen blasters with different loading and feeding mechanisms, similar to other Nerf lines.

rival [ edit ]

Released in 2015, the Nerf RIVAL blasters are aimed at teenagers and young adults. They fire high-impact spherical foam bullets (often referred to as “rival bullets”) instead of arrows. Many RIVAL blasters are painted or contain accessories designed to differentiate between blue and red teams for competitive play; Most RIVAL blasters are available in both colors. The first RIVAL blasters introduced were the Apollo XV-700 and the Zeus MXV-1200. The RIVAL line is not available in Australia due to toy regulations. As of 2021, the newest blaster in the RIVAL lineup is the Helix XXI-2000, capable of multidirectional cornering shots.[17]

RIVAL sub-series include:

RIVAL Camo: Blaster re-skinned in a camouflage color scheme; introduced in 2018

: Blaster with new camouflage skin; introduced in 2018 RIVAL Edge: Blasters are green in color (instead of the usual blue, white, or red) released in 2019. The Edge Series values ​​accuracy and precision. All exclusive blasters in this sub-series are modeled after sniper rifles and have long barrels.

: Blasters are green in color (instead of the usual blue, white, or red) released in 2019. The series emphasizes accuracy and precision. All exclusive blasters in this sub-series are modeled after sniper rifles and have long barrels. RIVAL Phantom Corps: Phantom Corps blasters were released in 2017 and are white in color.
