"Perses is a full auto, $110 dollars,8 round per second Nerf blaster that holds 50 rounds."
"I've made 3 out of PLA and so far they're all holding up great"
"Nerf rival pilot is a great choice for indoor CQC battles."
"The nerf takedown is my favorite blaster i own."
"My roommates and I love our Apollos and Kronoses for just playing indoors."
"In addition to other recommendations get a few jolts. They are perfect for stealth attacks."
"I'd recommend the Kronos blaster, it's cheap, has an internal mag and is great fun!"
"Nerf Mega XL Boomdozer brings me joy."
"Hard to go wrong with Hammershots, I think Amazon is still selling them."
"Nexus pro or one of the variants."

4.2
(19)
"My two favorite Rival blasters are the Hades and the Roundhouse. The Hades is pretty expensive at $70, but absolutely worth that price with 60 round slamfire."
"I've got the Takedown, and I've had the privilege to use a Perses, and both are awesome."
"Takedown takes the cake for best rival blaster for casual nerf wars. Fantastic power. Best accuracy I've ever seen in a rival blaster."
"The takedown is my favorite my brother likes the roundhouse for its increases capacity."
"The Roundhouse is more affordable at $25, and is a super compact 15 round pistol."
"I've had the privilege to use a Perses, and both are awesome."
"We have two roundhouses and only had a squib once when I tried to shotgun load it 4 times."
"My brother likes the roundhouse for its increases capacity."
"It may not be mag fed but the Takedown is fairly inexpensive and versatile."
"Myself I prefer the Saturn it's handles the same but it's longer, has a built in stock, and holds more rounds."

Dart Zone
4.2
(13)
"Look at the Dart Zone line of blasters, they’ve got a great selection of semi- and full-auto blasters, much better than Nerf or X-Shot."
"If you'd prefer darts something like the dart zone magnum x2 or the villainator would be a good choice."
"Maybe a pair of Dart Zone Outlaws from Target, they're not too expensive."
"Nexus pro, $50. Plenty of upgrade parts available."
"Dart zone max Stryker"
"Tomcat etc"
"Outlaw"
"Definitely Max Stryker…. Also a relatively easy blaster to modify"
"Dart zone max Stryker"
"The Dart Zone Magnum Superdrum and Adventure Force Light Command are solid blasters when stock."

Adventure Force

"Adventure Force Villainator is my recommendation. Good performance. Reliable. 40 round capacity."
"Adventure Force Nexus Pro is great and inexpensive."
"Adventure Force Villainator."
"Just buy an adventure force nexus pro or aeon pro. Those are amazing."
"Just buy an adventure force nexus pro or aeon pro. Those are amazing."
"The Adventure Force Nexus Pro is exactly what you're looking for. It's $50 and massively outperforms anything at or under its price-point."
"Gonna echo Nexus Pro if you can find it in a local walmart."
"If you want the pure best out of the box blaster, Nexus Pro."

Buzz Bee
4.5
(8)
"I also agree the Airmax 10 is balling right out of the box. I have one and I love it."
"Your best bet is the Air Max 10. That thing is awesome and super easy to mod."
"The buzz bee Air Max Extreme 10 & 6 and Panther are freaking awesome"
"Buzz Bee Air Warriors Extreme Airmax 10 or the 6 if you can't find the 10 in your area."
"The best blasters from those brands are the Ultra-Tek Snipe or Sentiel, and the BOOMCo Rapid Madness."
"Sentinel, Magnum Superdrum, Rapid Madness, Caliburn."
"Buzz Bee Air Warriors Sentinel - like 85-90fps without any mods whatsoever, but they're hard to find now"
"Everyone swears by the sentinel, the Snipe is mostly the same, but bolt action"
#6
X-Shot
4.5
(6)
"The xshot multipacks of reflex6es or excess-es. Dead cheap, great blasters."
"I second or third vote for the Xshot longshot. Best bang for the buck."
"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!"
"You want something fun for the family? Maybe the x shot insanity motorized rage fire. It’s a belt fed machine gun with rotating barrels on a tripod."
"For the more grown up foam flinging enthusiast, the xshot longshot is the new hotness right now."
"The Turbo-Fire by X-Shot. It's a much stockier version of the Furyfire, and loads 20."

"From Best to worst, number 5 being worst.
1. Soldier 76 Blaster
2. Reaper Blaster
3. D.VA/B.VA Blaster
4. Tracer Blaster
5. McCree Blaster"
"From Best to worst, number 5 being worst.

5. McCree Blaster"
"The reaper guns are pretty cool and the d.Va gun is fun. I like the aesthetics of McCrees pistol, but it only holds one shot at a time and doesn’t have a revolving chamber."
"The Reaper is probably the most practical of the bunch. It's a large Kronos/Takedown clone with a pull-back prime and a decent capacity at 8 roynds. It is a little on the large size but has decent ergonomics. I would say this is the best."

Perses
4.5
(2)
"If you have the funds, buy the Perses and the hopper extension kit and it is one of the most potent blasters you could have."
"A Perses with hopper extension is much more accurate even though it has lower capacity"
#9
CEDA
4.0
(2)
"Hobbyist blasters like the Nexus Pro, CEDA S, and Mk1.1 can actually sting pret"
"Consider a CEDA S (online order only)."

Zing Air

"The Zing Air Z-Curve Bow kicks ass. I picked up one on sale a few weeks ago and it's freaking amazing for what it is."
#11
Buzzbee
5.0
(1)
"For your daughter, the Buzzbee Air Warriors EZ Fire Rifle might be a good choice. Should be easy to prime, looks cool, and shoots at a safe level for that age."
#12
JT
4.0

"For a single shooter, the JT splatmaster z100 is pretty darn effective right out of the box."

#15
Lanard
4.0

#16
Kronos
4.0
(1)
"A Kronos will never let you down, one of the easiest blasters to mod."

Captain Slug
4.0

#18
Gameface
4.0
(1)
"Not sure if it's still going but gameface had a labor day sale where if you buy a trion from their website you get a free optic that usually costs as much as the blaster does."

Zuru
4.0

"Sam's Club has a 2-pack of the Zuru Chaos Orbit pump and Meteor pistol. Holds more than comparable Nerf Rival offerings, superior stock ammo, able to reload on the fly. $23 for the pair."
