To make life easier, we have selected the best automatic NERF guns on the market and highlighted some of their killer features. They are ranked from most powerful to least and will cover three brands: Hasbro’s Nerf, Dart Zone, and some custom blaster brands!

In addition, the spin-up time on the flywheels is awful. Having to press the rev trigger three seconds before you want to fire is far from ideal.Because these blasters are custom printed, you can select from a variety of colors as well as differing spring strengths which will affect the power of the blaster—the K26 being the most powerful spring.

As we discussed early in the guide, there are two main factors that influence the power of a Nerf gun: FPS and the type of ammo that you are firing. The Mach-100 is a battery-powered and full-auto beast that can unload rounds at a whopping 110 FPS!

While the foam-flinging blasters on this list will not actually cause harm nor inflict real pain, they are the heavy hitters relative to the rest. The power output of a spring-loaded Nerf blaster is determined by the strength of the spring. Most Nerf-brand blasters use rather weak springs which you upgrade yourself to increase power. However, some blasters—such as our top choice for the most powerful blaster, the Caliburn—are prebuilt using insanely resistant springs. The insides are what you’d expect, with large motors and flywheels, and an agitator system like you’d see in the Nemesis (but for Hyper). Just sitting outside with a chronograph, the 40 averaged 116fps, above the box target of 110fps. My sample blaster fired at those speeds quite consistently, as well. Additionally, your ammo needs to be durable. Not only does it need to be able to physically survive high speeds, but it also needs to be stable enough at those speeds.

It comes with a 6.9 V rechargeable battery, which is a rarity in the Nerf gun world and will save you a good amount of change in buying batteries. You can also upgrade to a 12V Lipo battery, which will increase fire rate and round velocity—overall increasing the power of this destructive blaster! On that note, the rate of fire is decent for a pistol, with two shots per second well within the blaster’s capabilities. Casual testing only resulted in the occasional dry fire from a ball not loading. War Performance However, I would avoid using Elite darts and waffle-head darts. Elite darts have very poor accuracy at high speeds and the tip of the waffle-head darts are slightly too large for the barrel and slow the dart down significantly. Another blaster named after an epic Greek Titan god, the Nerf Rival Prometheus is a monstrous and heavy-hitting war machine! In fact, it is one of the biggest Nerf blasters on the market!

The Hyper series is a relatively new type of blaster that fire Hyper Rounds, which are small balls made of soft rubber—similar to the Nerf Rival Series. But don’t worry, they don’t necessarily hurt, but you’ll definitely feel them more than typically Nerf rounds. This pistol-like, spring-loaded blaster carries almost as much of a frightening punch as the more expensive and iconic Calaburn (the top gun on this list) but is far easier on the wallet. FULLY MOTORIZED NERF HYPER MACH-100 BLASTER: Fire rounds with amazing speed from this fully motorized blaster that unleashes rounds at a velocity of up to 110 FPS. Requires batteries (not included) One of the main attractions of the MEGA Mastodon is its massive dart capacity.

NERF HYPER ROUNDS AND LARGE HOPPER WITH 40-ROUND CAPACITY: Blaster comes with 30 Nerf Hyper rounds. Large, easy-load hopper can hold up to 40 rounds (additional rounds sold separately)

With so much crammed into one blaster, the Select is surprisingly light – coming in at 4.24 pounds but if you wanted extra support there are 5 sling points located around the blaster to help spread the burden. If you want to add even more, there is even a tactical rail for you to throw on some attachments. REVOLUTIONARY NERF HYPER SYSTEM: Featuring Nerf Hyper rounds with an innovative design and material for performance to maximize capacity and speed, Eyewear recommended (not included) It also includes two tactical rails for any Rival attachments—one under the front handle and another on the bottom of the gun.
