Ten Amazing Nerf Guns You Won’t Believe Are Just Toys

When you think of a Nerf foam dart gun the image that will probably pop into your head is a large, plastic-looking gun with bright colours. But these ten you are about to see and nothing like that. In fact, some of them look so realistic you won’t believe they are just Nerf guns…

If you want to own what is probably the World’s most expensive Nerf gun then this is it. Sure it is expensive but as you can clearly see the custom job it has received and the overall quality of it make it well worth the price.

Colt Nerf Gun

In terms of realism, this is the very best you will ever see. Firing just a single nerd dart it is still just a normal Nerf gun but modified to look as realistic as a Colt you will ever get. Terrifying? Sure it is, but all Nerf guns are gun-shaped so what is the difference?!? The colours?!? Well if you are colour blind does that make a non-modified Nerf gun real?!?

Steampunk Nerf Gun

This is the best Steampunk inspired one I could find, the sheer quality of the paint mod, and the Steampunk-inspired Decals it has received make this a real force to be reckoned with, and it won’t cost you that much more than an original Nerf gun!

Flash Gordon Nerf Gun

For me, this had “Flash Gordon” written all over it. So for those who love a bit of retro Nerf action, this could well be the one for you. While it is a rather basic paint job, the added decals and moulds are what make it look truly amazing.

R2-D2 Nerf Gun

This Nerf gun mod is pretty cool because the artist is using the shape of the weapon to create an almost perfect R2-D2 replica! But because the maker insists on getting people to make their own instead of selling them I have ranked it a lot lower than I would have liked.

Steampunk style Nerf Gun

This one is a little expensive (aren’t all Nerf anyway)  but it just ticks all the right boxes, it looks amazing, had some good decals added and all in a Steampunk style! Well worth the money if you ask me.

Borderlands 2 Nerf Gun

This rather amazing “Borderlands 2” inspired Nerf blaster is a great example of things done right. The colours, the build it all just looks just about perfect and well worth including in this list.

N-Strike Element EX-6 Nerf Gun

N-Strike Element EX-6 Nerf Gun

Nerf guns just don’t get any more realistic than this! The stunning N-Strike Element EX-6 looks like it came straight from a Sci-Fi film and would make most of us blokes smile if we received it as a gift. (hint, hint!)

Army Camouflage Nerf Gun

It can’t just be me that finds these amazing, the whole colour scheme just seems to work and a “target torch” added to the side makes this not only amazing to look at but loads of fun to play Nerf in the dark!

Mass Effect Nerf Gun

Mass Effect Nerf Gun

For me, this was the very, very best. Inspired by the Mass Effect Videogame this rather stunning Nerf gun is a pure joy to look at and while it is just a basic paint job done on it, the original gun shape makes it look truly amazing.
