The big feature on Nerf’s N-Strike Elite Infinus blaster is a 30-dart removable drum. The Infinus also features motorized Quick-Load Technology. As users feed darts into the blaster, the darts are automatically loaded into the drum. An acceleration button powers up the Infinus, then users simply pull the trigger to fire. The Infinus includes 30 Elite darts. MSRP is $69.99.
The precision-based Thunderhawk is Nerf’s first ever Mega Accustrike blaster. A barrel extension slides back and forth on the top of the blaster for custom performance allowing for distance targeting or a more compact blaster. The Thunderhawk allows for steady shots with the flip-down bipod for added accuracy. The Thunderhawk blaster includes a 10-dart, side-loading indexing clip and 10 Nerf Mega Accustrike darts. It is also compatible with Nerf Mega darts. MSRP is $49.99.
Picture Jesse Ventura in “Predator” but with a Nerf gun. The Rival Prometheus MXVIII-20K blaster features Nerf’s new advanced acceleration system, which allows it to fire at a rate of eight high-impact rounds per second. Speed is impressive, but the blaster also holds an impressive 200 high-impact rounds in its easy-load hopper. The Prometheus MXVIII20K blaster is fully motorized with a rechargeable NiMh battery. The package includes blaster, 200 high-impact rounds, rechargeable NiMh battery, charger, two flags, and a shoulder strap. MSRP is $199.99.
The Nerf Rival Hades XVIII-6000 blaster holds 60 high-impact rounds in an easy-load integrated magazine. Simply prime and pull the trigger. Package includes blaster, 60 high-impact rounds and two flags. MSRP is $69.99.
The Nerf Modulus Ghost Ops Evader blaster was built with stealth in mind. Part of the Ghost Ops series, the Modulus Evader is completely clear to keep shooters undetected. Users can illuminate the blaster to guide the way in low-light situations by pressing the light activator. There is also a customizable barrel extension, which lights up when attached to the blaster. The Modulus Evader uses a 12-dart clip, which can be rapid fired via its motorized technology. The package includes blaster, clip housing cover, barrel extension, 12-dart clip and 12 darts. MSRP is $39.99.
The precision-based Thunderhawk is Nerf’s first ever Mega Accustrike blaster.

For some of us, our love of guns started at a very young age. The first time we got our hands on a Nerf blaster it was love at first dart. Eventually that love evolved from Nerf to the Sig Sauers and HKs of the world. However, with the new Nerf guns available in fall 2018, it might be time to return to our roots.

The New Nerf Guns of Today
The original Nerf “blasters” were pretty basic. They included dart- and ball-launching guns with a fairly limited range and low capacities. They were fun for what they were. In the year 2018, however, Nerf has stepped its game up in a big way.
The new Nerf guns, available fall 2018, include 30-dart removable drums, bipods and low-light illuminators. There’s even a gun that holds 200 rounds and fires eight rounds per second.
These guns have gotten so advanced and tactically based, they’re almost meant for the pages of Ballistic or Ballistic Precision. Kidding, kind of.
