Nerf

4.3
(230)
"The hammershot is easily like their best blaster thats still made."
·
"If I had to choose a single pro level blaster to keep at the loss of all my others, it would be my Outlaws."
·
"It's absolutely amazing. Comfortable, powerful, comes with a bcar and pcar for accuracy, never had it jam so far. And 200fps."
·
"Just got the Nexus pro VR and it shots 200 fps and 200 ft. It stings and when you fight with it you don't want to get shot by it."
·
"I would recommend a nexus pro x if you want something easy and convenient, no modding is needed and it is already a phenomenal blaster for large ranges"
·
"You can get a Nexus Pro X or DZ Max Stryker 2.0 to hit 200 fps out of the box at Walmart/Target."
·
"Nerf rival knockout with the meaker megal xl mod I got commissioned."
·
"My votes are for the MotoBlitz, I love bullpup blasters and the shotgun is a nice surprise."
·
"Hammer action pistols (outlaw or hammershot) are a ton of fun."
·
"The Motoblitz is another fun one. It's a flywheeler like your Double Punch, but comes with a built in shotgun below the main barrel."

Dart Zone

4.1
(36)
"If you have a better budget, I would recommend the Dart Zone Max Stryker ( both blasters fire around 140 fps - 150 fps)."
·
"Dart zone max Stryker"
·
"40 darts and around 80fps is hard to beat with any nerf blasters."
·
"No mods: magnum superdrum or artemis."
·
"Go to dart zone/adventure force/x shot. Quite a few adventure force blasters are great."
·
"GameFace Trion or Dart Zone Stryker 2.0"
·
"Something I like about the Stryker 3 over the NPX is the swappable magwell because of the included cylinder/drum."
·
"The Dart Zone Savage Spin is on Amazon for $39. Has 3 15 round drums for a total of 45 darts before reloading."
·
"The Max Stryker from Target is a personal favorite of mine. Mag fed, and you can buy cheap 3rd party mags on amazon"
·
"Then I'd get a Thunderbolt from Target. It'll be perfect for what you're looking for."
·

X-Shot

4.3
(20)
"I second or third vote for the Xshot longshot. Best bang for the buck. Got mine for 25 bucks. Hits hard past 200+ on 7" k25 and brass barrel."
·
"I would personally recommend the X-Shot Longshot. For 30 bucks you get yourself a powerful bullpup blaster that is really cool looking while also being unique! (fires around 130 fps)"
·
"Target - x shot longshot"
·
"Highly recommend the X-Shot Crusher. It's a fun little minigun that doesn't require batteries, and shoots pretty well."
·
"I would suggest the X-Shot Crusher. It's relatively cheap, tons of fun running around as the heavy gunner."
·
"Get X-Shot's Stryfe clone. Don't look back."
·
"The “X-shot insanity motorized rage fire” is currently for sale and looks pretty intimidating."
·
"X Shot Rage Fire would instill fear in my step brothers."
·
"X-shot blastercorn"
·
"Like the X-Shot Fury 4 or Reflex 6. Both of those hit around 85 to 90 FPS straight out of the box and are quite compact."
·

Adventure Force

"I'd probably go with the Adventure Force Villainator, as I would for most non superstock purposes."
·
"Adventure Force Nexus Pro is great and inexpensive."
·
"The adventure force spectrum or villainator."
·
"My adventure force villainator is my go to kids battle blaster."
·
"+2 for villainator, you can get extra drums for it."
·
"+1 for Villianator"
·
"I would recommend a villainator or mad mega barrel. Both should still be on Walmart shelves for 20 or so $"
·
"Depends what they're using but maybe a Adventure Force Villainator? Cheap (like $20 at walmart) and can do 40 darts of continuous fire."
·
"If it's full-length only, I'd just get a Villainator."
·
"Personally, I would recommend the Adventure Force Spectrum or Thunderbolt."
·

Worker

"For a springer, worker harrier/seagull/kunlun"
·
"Worker Harrier or Seagull as others have mentioned."
·
"Seagull or Harrier. You pay for quality and performance."
·
"Worker Kunlun since you said unlimited budget, unlimited fps, non motorized."
·
"My vote is for the Worker Seagull."
·
"The Worker Kunlun works, but it also requires regular maintenance, cleaning, and will require repair."
#6

Nerf Rival

"Nerf Rival Takedown or Forerunner."
