At first glance, it is hard to see the real appeal of the original Nerf Crossbow. However, it is a versatile weapon that included and that stored four Mega suction darts as well as three large arrows.

Kennedy EA, Ng TP, Duma SM. Evaluating eye injury risk of Airsoft pellet guns by parametric risk functions. Biomed Sci Instrum 2006; 42:7-12.In a study evaluating ocular injuries in projectile impacts, they found retinal avulsion at kinetic energy of 1.20Nm and retinal tear at 1.69Nm in porcine eye models [10]. However, Nerf guns would enable the projectile to reach a kinetic energy of 1.92Nm, enough to cause both anterior and posterior segment injury and permanent vision loss [6]. Besides the heavy guns that have been mentioned, the only blaster that is relatively close is the Nerf Hyperfire. It is a much more compact and smaller version with a 35-dart drum. 5. Nerf Crossbow 1995

This blaster actually works quite well for a ball flinger that shoots nice and soft. It is great for younger kids because it shoots soft ballistic balls and is pretty harmless.

She was followed up seven weeks later: visual acuity of 6/6 in the RE. There was no evidence of retinal hole, subretinal fluid, or retinal detachment progression.An 11-year-old girl was shot in her left eye (LE) by her sibling at less than an arm’s length. She arrived at the eye emergency of Leighton Hospital through A&E four hours after the episode. The current literature shows Nerf gun bullets, the projectile from the toy gun, are associated with traumatic hyphaemia [4], retinal detachment [5], and retinal dialysis [6], but a traumatic retinal hole has never been reported. Conversely, airsoft pellet guns have been presented as a cause of ocular injuries [7] (Figure 2), reporting 90% of these injuries occurring at home. Here, three different ocular injuries caused by a Nerf gun bullet are analysed. Eyes are the third most injured body part (1), but eye injuries differ according to appropriate treatments and visual outcomes (2). Usually, Nerf guns are considered a harmless, kid-friendly toy, but in this case series, the trauma was enough to cause hyphaemia, corneal oedema, and retinal abnormalities. In ages 5-14 years, 65% of injuries are sports related [3]. The factors that affect the pricing vary from age to looks to those with a great design that just got discontinued. Toys are useful means that help kids develop certain crucial skills. For instance, loading, aiming, and shooting these guns help a child exercise his motor and cognitive skills. Playing with a bunch of people inculcates a sense of teamwork in him. Plus, with all the running around your child does playing with these Nerf toys, he’s bound to enjoy a restful sleep at night.
