[B]NERF V3: Darts'n'Disks[/B]
Since V2 died to the 1000 post limit, I decided to get a V3 pushed out.
Though I'll begin work on the OP quite soon and get the current, and discontinued lines up, but enough introduction.
NERF is a Hasbro brand which sell foam-based products. The commonly believed acronym for it is "Non-Expanding Recreational Foam "Starting out with their Nerf Foam Ball, they are primarily known today as a Foam Weaponry manufacturer. Currently, there are few Nerf Blaster lines.

They are essentially, upgrades to Streamline Darts that are proven to be apparently better than Streamlines in any way.
[QUOTE=Nerf Wiki]It has been demonstrated that Elite Darts shoot farther than Streamlines, most likely due to the aforementioned changes. Commercials claim that these darts go seventy-five feet when fired from an Elite blaster, but like Streamlines, they vary in range and accuracy. These darts are more accurate than regular Streamline Darts.
Nerfologist, a trader on eBay UK, has tested these darts extensively in a range of modified N-Strike blasters and has seen range gains of five to fifteen feet over Streamline Darts used in the same blaster. Not surprisingly, it would seem the higher performing blasters see the biggest gains in distance. Another big advantage noted was that higher velocities do not cause Elite Darts to "fishtail" to anywhere near the same extent as Streamline Darts.

The Triad is a sort of "cousin" to the Jolt EX-1, in which that it has [I]"an intelligent air restrictor system like the Rough Cut 2x4. If only one dart is loaded in, the blaster will only fire out of that barrel and will not release air out of any of the other barrels.

Remember that new Rebelle blaster line.
I still can't get over being shown some Rebelle stuff by other robot collectors.
"Heartbreaker Bow", seriously.
I need to buy myself a nerf gun, I keep getting attacked at LAN parties and have no way to defend myself.
Luckily I can get a staff discount on them from work.

If you can, get the Rough Cut.
It was unveiled to the ultra-do-it-yourself completely-replace-the-internals 200-feet-is-short-range show-offs I usually go with, and they were wetting themselves over it.
Only problem with it is that you can only replace the springs, since removing the ARs breaks it completely.

For a primary, the Rough Cut.
For a secondary, the Triad EX-3 or the Strongarm.

And you can't even replace the spring with a really good one because the priming gears are fairly weak.
The new elite series actually brings back nerf for my roommate and I. We are 25 years old and we just have massive nerf wars. The retaliator is pretty accurate, but the Rough Cut is beyond badass.
I used to mod all my guns, but the new elite ones are pretty good stock.
I did mod my big bad bow to shoot darts, which would actually hurt people.
I heard you can do the same with the Titan
Holy crap I just found the nerf wiki.
I had [I]no idea[/I] that Nerf was so... complex.
I hear Rebelle has a revolver which allows single-hand-cocking, like you would a normal single-action revolver hammer.
Gonna get one, repaint it to look manly, and it'll be cool.
My friends and I went to a thrift store last night and saw a bunch of nerf guns. I bought a Nite Finder
[URL]http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/Nite_Finder[/URL]
When I dry fired it it was loud as fuck (compared to other nerf guns) and you could really feel the springs power. when I found a dart I fired it and it went pretty far. Further than my Maverick Mk6.
I just cut the restricter plate out of it, it does alright.
nerf aka I have a recon but I still want to buy the retaliator
I bought the original rayven not too long ago, now I wanna buy the Elite version and two stryfe and go akimbo with those.
Man it sucks that I like all these new guns, I should have just waited. But now I wanna mod a rayven into a nerf equivalent of the Double Anarchy or into a Bitch (yes I like borderlands sue me)
OP has been updated somewhat, with info on unreleased N-Strike Elite Blasters.

The Rough Cut is actually slam-fire capable, OP says it isn't.
Also, interesting that the Stryfe in the OP has a grey trigger, as far as I'm aware, it hasn't been released in any countries that get the weaker versions of Elite series blasters yet.

also the Stryfe picture has been replaced now.
