Oldest got a Nerf N-Strike Stampede Blaster ECS-50 from Santa.
It’s fully-automatic, battery operated. Runs on 18-round “clips” (I hate that they call them “clips”… they’re magazines). I LOVE that it has a vertical fore-grip with integrated bi-pod; the design is a 100% nod to the Grip Pod. It fires at a fairly good rate, functions well (no malfs yet, and I love the nod to the AR with the selector switch), and is pretty accurate for what it is… tho with that “blast shield” you can’t really get down to do precision aiming. Still, for what it is, it’s good.
And of course… you burn a “clip” of darts and as TXGunGeek would say, it just tips your giggle box. 🙂
Even better? I have a couple of the 35-round drum “dart clips”. We slapped those bad-boys in and it’s nearly-endless full-auto fun!!
On top of that, oldest also got one of the N-Strike Tactical Vests, which holds loads of spare ammo. As well, it has a sheath on the back of the vest to hold a Nerf Sword. Yup, we’ve got a couple of those. We like Nerf around here. 🙂
Where did I really geek out? There’s a spot on the back of hte ECS-50 that looks like it could allow attachment of a single-point clip sling. Oldest also has some “handgun” Nerf blasters. I start talking to him about how he just needs a sling, he can run the full-auto, reload, reload, reload, then when he’s out of ammo just let go of the ECS-50 and transition to his hand-blaster. Of course while I’m describing this I’m showing the kids the movements… and they’re all just looking at me like I’m taking it way too seriously. But hey, tactics is tactics. 🙂
So look out neighborhood kids. Oldest is armed to the teeth! You shall not survive the Nerf onslaught!

Better yet, you can break the thing open, remove its regulator, take the spring down to Home Depot, and replace it with something with a little more… oomf, and then go tinkering with the motor and up its overall cyclic rate.
‘Cause, y’know, when those allergic-to-foam-and-plastic aliens show up, we are going to need all the help we can get… 🙂
I have thought about such modifications BUT…. this one belongs to Oldest. I’m not sure he’s willing (yet) to sacrifice it to the mod gods.
Of course, I have my Nerf guns and might just mod those ones. 🙂
Now you need the Nerf grenade launcher! And someday the Nerf tank! (-;
