Question

Can I use Nerf knock-off darts?

Community Answer

Yes, depending on what type of dart it is. Some off-brand darts can shoot harder and more accurately, while others are just weak and rip easily.

No, N-strike darts are too small for a Mega Blaster and will not fit, but whistle darts might.

Question

What are the best criteria for choosing a nerf gun for kids?

Unknown Lord (Unknown Lord - lordz.io)

Community Answer

It should fire at 85 feet per second or less. Shooting younger kids with a high-powered nerf gun is not a good idea. It should be drum/cylinder fed, or use a smart AR system. Magazines can be challenging for younger kids to load. Most importantly, the kid you are buying for should like the design. It doesn't matter if it isn't the best gun. As long as your kids likes it, it's good.

Question

Which darts fit Nerf Shockwave? Elite 2.0?

Unknown Lord (Unknown Lord - lordz.io)

Community Answer

Any full-length darts with work. However, waffle-head darts will work best with your Nerf Elite 2.0 Shockwave blaster. They are cheaper and more accurate than Elite darts.

Question

What is the difference between a clip and a magazine?

Jordan Abel

Community Answer

A clip simply holds darts, so the gun has to be more mechanically complex to mix the dart to the firing mechanism. A magazine ejects them to a firing mechanism itself.

Question

What darts should I get if I'm using a half-dart only brass-barrel blaster?

ParkerTheCuber

Community Answer

Probably Worker Gen2 darts. These are sold at pretty much all hobby sites (WorkerMod, OutOfDarts, FoamBlast, etc), and are super accurate. Try the purple foam instead of the black so it's easier to see.

Question

What kind of ammo does a Nerf Stryfe take and do bigger stocks also fit in the Nerf Stryfe?

ParkerTheCuber

Community Answer

The Stryfe can shoot any normal-sized dart, but I would recommend Dart Zone waffle-head darts. Any stock that can fit on the N-Strike stock attachment point will fit, but if you're over 5'10", probably a WorkerMod stock would be best.

Question

What half-length darts are best for compression-barrel springers?

ParkerTheCuber

Community Answer

Dart Zone bamboo darts, since they have less surface area on the sides, so they'll shoot harder.

Question

My mom doesn't let me have a Nerf gun, how to persuade her to let me buy a Nerf gun?

Community Answer

You can explain that they are nothing like real firearms, and you understand that real guns are not toys. Tell her how the darts are foam, and can't hurt anyone. If all else fails, ask a friend for a Nerf gun for your birthday.

Question

How do you reload an 18 dart clip for a N-Strike Elite?

Community Answer

First of all, it is not a clip, it is a magazin. You reload it by pushing the dart into the top, then push down, and repeat with the next dart.

Question

Can I use waffle head darts instead of elite darts?

cymbospondylus 846

Yes waffle heads are more accurate if you like accuracy, since they compress more easily.

Question

How would I determine whether I need to buy more clips or drums for my Retaliator?

Rafael Castellanos

Community Answer

It depends on your type of firing rate. If you are more of a sprayer, buy a big mag or drum. If you're careful with ammo, keep the included mag.

Question

What is an off-brand Nerf dart seller?

Community Answer

A seller that is not Nerf but produces Nerf-compatible darts. These can be found online (eBay, Amazon). They are usually cheaper than genuine-brand Nerf darts.
