The Best NERF Guns for Battling Zombies & Ghouls

If your little ladies and gents are like everyone else in the modern world, they are all about zombies right now. Zombies have it all—the creepy, crawly, scary, gross-out elements that make a good horror movie monster.

These reanimated shamblers are everywhere—kids shows and Halloween movie specials, and lots-a young adult books.

As a matter of fact, your youngster is probably playing zombies vs. humans right now with their neighborhood friends. Maybe. If the weather is warm and the ghoulish mood is right.

With big, zombie-loving imaginations in mind, I concocted a short list of three of the best NERF guns 2016. From the Zombie Strike collection, these blasters are must-haves for engaging in imaginative backyard battles with the walking dead. Plus, for kids who know their horror movie monsters, these blasters are work well on ghouls, goblins, and ghosts too. Wink!

NERF Zombie Strike Doominator Blaster

Holy firepower, Rick Grimes! Thanks to The Walking Dead series, zombies have made a ferocious comeback.

The Doominator ensures those shamblers stay down the second time around.

Kiddos can use their imaginations to chase down ghoulish flesh-eaters, making their mark with 24 foam darts, launched in rapid succession from 4 flip-over barrels.

On a side note, I am lovin’ the details of this blaster. And the name is super cool, combining doom and dominate to make a new word that describes the NERF’s awesome action.

NERF Super Soaker Zombie Strike Dreadshot Blaster

If zombie movies have taught us anything, it is that those undead fiends are relentless.

Dreadshot is a super soaker blaster, which means it pumps 24 ounces of chilly water from double barrels at creeping ghouls.

It only takes a single pump, and the water reserve is easy-peasy to refill.

Even zombies can be taken down with enough H2O firepower! Keep a water hose handy for refills.

NERF Zombie Strike FlipFury Blaster

One of my favorites, the FlipFury is detailed to look old and slightly makeshift—like maybe it broke once or twice, then someone fixed it with duct tape and string.

Thumbs up! Very apocalypse worthy.

This blaster comes with 12 foam darts, separated into two flip-away barrels with a firepower of over 40 feet. Wowwie! Run zombies, run.

The trigger packs a wallop of fast action, making it easier to center, whack, and obliterate undead targets. Yep, those pesky monsters never stood a chance.

The Best NERF Guns from the Zombie Strike Collection

2015-2016 Best NERF Zombie Strike Blasters

Image credit:  nerf.wikia.com

I am a total advocate of everything zombie-related—and even moreso an encourager of all things NERF. Combine these two awesome elements and you have the Zombie Strike collection, which has contributed three of the best NERF guns to backyard battles this year.

Sure, when you are a kid, you are told not to whack your siblings and friends with foam darts…but what kid really listens? Ha!

These three blasters are some of the best because they encourage imaginative playtime between friends and loved ones.

The foam darts are super-soft, yet firm enough to launch long-range at intended targets. One suggestion for kids who are at a loss for an imaginative scenario is to assign zombies and zombie hunters…then let the chaos and giggling fun begin.

NERF Zombie Strike Doominator Blaster

Quick—the zombies are coming!

Prepare yourself to fight against the hordes of undead with the Doominator—a unique zombie-whacking blaster that launches 24 foam darts in rapid succession.

No reloads until your clip dries up. There are four flipping drums for quick-fire action, each containing six darts apiece, and all attached to a 3-position handle.

For smoother operation, and even a few customization tips, a handy-dandy instructions manual is included.

NERF Zombie Strike Crossfire Bow Blaster

Okay…so I might have a problem when it comes to having too much fun prepping for an impending zombie apocalypse. Or, maybe I have watched too much Walking Dead because I would totally rock this Crossfire Bow like Daryl Dixon. Ha!

This real-working crossbow must-have is an instant NERF classic that packs a wallop with four zombie-smashing foam darts.

To operate, backyard battlers pull the string and squeeze the trigger to unleash a barrage of hardcore combat on approaching brain-eaters.

NERF Zombie Strike Hammershot Blaster

This is one of the only NERF blasters from the Zombie Strike collection that allows battlers to customize their weapon.

Inclusive of stencils, this blaster is a ferocious, zombie-blasting machine that launches 5 Zombie Strike foam darts in rapid-fire succession. Or, you can set the Hammershot to single shots, allowing you to control where the darts go.

Think of it like a last resort weapon for when the undead are closing in.

The design is so cool. From watching tons of zombie movies and television shows, you probably know that survivors’ weapons are well-worn. This blaster mimics that apocalyptic, put-together appearance with “duct tape” around the handle and a rugged barrel.

Blasters By NERF - A Family's Fun

If your family is anything like mine, you're always looking for a new game to play. Something fun that usually has to involve war themes, such as paintball teams or researching the latest and best NERF blasters. My kids would rebel completely if my husband and I decided to sit down to a board game instead of chasing them around the yard with foam darts and camouflage make-up. Over the past few years, I've come to know my NERF blasters and the lineup for 2012 is what was recently put into Christmas lists for Santa. The most asked for and researched so far have been...

 
______________________________________

N-Strike Longstrike CS-6

NERF N-Strike Longstrike CS-6 Dart Blaster

For the little sniper in the family, this blaster comes with 2 clips (6 darts each) for precision and accuracy. It may not pack the most ammo but it does deliver a powerful punch from over 35 feet away. It's designed with pinpoint flip-up sight to track opponents from long distances - perfect for the stealthy shooter who likes to hide in the nearby shrubbery or in trees.

______________________________________

NERF Vortex Praxis

NERF Vortex Praxis

Ideal for the family's quick-shooter, this blaster is equipped with pump action to disperse 10 discs in rapid succession. With only one magazine per set, shooters have to make their discs last by making their aim true. A removable stock means not so much to carry while each disc packs maximum firepower to opponents. Refills with up to 40 new discs are sold separately.




 

______________________________________

Elite Retaliator Blaster

NERF N-Strike Elite Retaliator Blaster

This is what I like to call "Momma's" blaster, because I can't imagine any mother who wouldn't love chasing down her son with this thing. It fires from 75 feet with 12 foam darts in each clip. It's the machine gun of NERF blasters! Plus, the removable stock means a steadier and more accurate shot.

NERF For Families - Outdoor Wars

Sometimes it can be difficult for the family to do something together without bickering about the latest in technology or what they’ve seen on television. Then mom might retire to her computer, while dad takes a seat in his office with a new iPad, and all the kids gather around the latest gaming console. This has become the norm for most American families; however, the new NERF toys hopes to change that, giving families a reason to step outside the electronic box for a while. With decades of entertaining experience under their proverbial belt, NERF hopes to re-instill the value of good ole’ fashioned fun with battles and wars that can be fought between families in an outdoors setting.

Here are some of their new guns and blasters for the occasion:

_______________________________________

NERF N-Strike Elite Hail-Fire Blaster

Holding up to 144 Elite darts, this blaster is top-of-the-line. Customized for drawn out backyard battles, it’s a shooter with power – firing round after round in rapid succession with a distance of up to 75 feet. Quick reload clips means you’re not out of ammo for long as you run from cover from the fire-power of giggling kids.


_______________________________________

Vortex Pyragon Blaster

A favorite among adults because of the foam discs (instead of darts), this blaster can hold up to 40 discs at one time. Plus, they’re bright orange, making them easier to locate when ammo is running short and daylight’s drawing to a close. The slam-fire handle allows you to fire multiple discs at once, allowing you to unleash an all-out assault blast on unsuspecting combatants.

_______________________________________

NERF N-Strike Recon CS-6 Dart Blaster

Ideal for the family sniper, this shooter features a tactile rail for maximized precision. There’s also a barrel extension for a more accurate shot, while the quick reload of the 6-dart ammo clip puts you back in the game.

Blasters of NERF - The Best of 2012

NERF has been around for decades, beginning in the 1970’s and becoming popularized in the 1990’s with the tagline, “It’s Nerf or nothing!” Since then, the company has released some of the best toys known to the world. Many of us bonded with our friends and family over a friendly game with a high-powered super soaker. Therefore, it was important for NERF toys 2012 to prove themselves superior once again above all other toy manufacturers. The biggest question was, “Do they still have ‘it’?”

The following 2012 line of blasters proves that they definitely still do!

__________________________________

NERF N-Strike Elite Retaliator Blaster (shown above)

With a retail value of $43, this blaster reigns supreme. Complete with 4 configurations that include a lengthening barrel and a removable stock (for a steadier shot), it’s a fierce shooter with few competitors. The range is close to 75 feet with 12 foam darts to a single clip and a quick reload capability. There’s also an Elite customization pack available (sold separately) to turn this blaster from ferocious to undefeatable.

__________________________________

NERF N-Strike Jolt Blaster

This shooter is impressive! At first, it looks harmless; however, it’s small enough to fit in your pocket, drawing in a high-noon fashion before pummeling your opponent with a long-distance foam dart. Dubbed one of the most powerful guns to come from this company, Jolt is a perfect 2-shooter for those in-between games or the sneak attacks.

__________________________________

NERF N-Strike Raider Rapid Fire CS-35 Dart Blaster

This blaster is considered the machine-gun of all the Nerf shooters. A rotating fan means this blast is entirely air-powered with 2 blasting modes and intense firing pressure. An adjustable stock and clean design allows for bee-lined accuracy and a direct shit almost every time. Plus, rapid fire capabilities means it’s simple to eliminate your opponent with a barrage of foam darts all at once.
