The only downside is we don’t like the trigger action as much as the Disruptor, but otherwise the Zombie Strike Hammershot blaster’s combination of fun and the ability to act as a really useful back up means it is still very close to the best back up blaster.

You load it from the front (the cylinder does not snap out) and the priming handle is mounted on the top.Where the GlowShot has a gimmick of lighting up, the BowStrike features a sight box and bow arms that pop out when you prime – which make it look like a mini crossbow – and pop back when you fire.

Due to their lightweight, small and compact designs, they are by far the best NERF guns for kids available. Powerful blasters are great when you get older, but they are harder to prime and also less forgiving when it comes to accidents. You really do not want something that swings around on a lanyard if you are going to be moving around. Any flywheel blaster that needs batteries is going to need a few moments to spin up and make noise…not good!In light of this dilemma I complied a list of the top Nerf gun features ( Nerf Guns List ) that make it easier for children as young as 3 years old have a lot more fun during play time. Regarding performance, the firing velocity and distance with the Ultra Select are pretty reasonable, although not outstanding by any means.
