Best Foam Blasters of 2025

“I got this for my 5-year-old nephew for Christmas, and he was so excited and grateful! It has just enough pressure to be fun without being strong enough to hurt.”

“I was hoping my 2.5-year-old could use it, but he can’t quite manage it yet. It’s fun though, and I know he’ll grow into it.”

“These have a lot of power and come with plenty of balls. My cat loves them and plays fetch all the time!”

"My boys absolutely loved this gun set! Super durable and it doesn't jam like others. It was a favorite gift and a great value!"

"I got the Realistic Toy Foam Blaster Gun for my grandson Owen's 9th birthday. He was thrilled! The cool design and automatic feature made it feel like the ultimate play weapon. Despite my daughter giving me the evil eye, Owen's joy was priceless. He has so much fun with it outdoors and indoors, and it's safe with soft bullets. Overall, it's a fantastic gift for a 9-year-old who loves action!"

"I bought this for my 2-year-old son, and after showing him how to use it, he figured out all the features himself. He played for about 45 minutes on the initial charge, then after recharging for an hour, he played for another 3-4 hours. He absolutely loves it!"

"This blaster hits like a tank and is built like a tank. The air seal is nearly perfect, but I noticed that the accuracy suffers a bit. The prime handle is too small for my hands, though I still think it's worthwhile since I plan on upgrading the barrel."

"I was surprised by how far a little dart could shoot! It's accurate and feels solid, especially given the price."

"I feel like this range of blasters has been overmarketed. While the shell is strong and it has a unique bullpup design, the ergonomics are quite poor. My hand hurts after playing for just 10 minutes! Overall, I think blasters like the Nexus Pro are much more user-friendly."

"I was excited to try this blaster, but unfortunately, it didn't perform as expected. I only managed to get one shot to travel 10 feet, while the other four didn’t even leave the barrel. Even switching to Siren brand darts didn’t help."

"I absolutely love this small blaster! It packs a lot of power and definitely lives up to the claim of firing up to 150 feet. We got several for our family reunion, and everyone had a blast! I highly recommend it!"

"I really wanted to like this blaster. It's comfortable to hold with its 5-round magazine, and the FPS is good with the included darts. However, it just doesn’t perform as well with other darts. The priming is a bit stiff and the ring design could use some improvement."

"These are so much fun! My almost three-year-old struggles a bit to shoot them without help, but I love them. I can't wait until he can pump it himself!"

"I watched my grandkids play with these for two hours straight, and they were just giggling the whole time. It was wonderful!"

"My seven and four-year-old had the best Christmas morning thanks to Santa Claus bringing these. They absolutely loved them!"

“I find this blaster to be cheap, powerful, and a blast to use! The only things I’m not fond of are the absence of iron sights and the ineffectiveness of the locking button. Despite that, it’s a great value for the money! A fun tip: if I put a wad of paper towel or cotton in the barrel, I can load it with plastic bbs to create a mini airsoft shotgun.”

“This little dart gun is a blast to shoot! I’m really impressed with the metal barrel, and it’s definitely the most powerful one I've used. It can shoot clear across my house, and I wouldn’t want to aim it at anyone, as it could still hurt from 20 feet away.”

“As an adult collector with a large collection, I have to say this is one of my favorites. It’s compact but packs a punch. I was introduced to this after trying out a Nerf Nanofire at my nephew's birthday party, and I’m so glad I made the switch. The loading system is fantastic, and it takes full-size darts, which I already have plenty of. This blaster really hits hard, and I was amazed at how far it could shoot!”

"I found this toy and thought it would be a fun new addition for my family. My toddler and teenage girls absolutely love it! While it took a bit of guidance for my 3-year-old, she now enjoys squirting everyone with it. It's easy to mix and use outside, and I was pleasantly surprised by how long the foam lasts. This has become a great birthday gift idea, and my whole family enjoys it!"

"My kids were thrilled to play with this foam toy, even my teen! What I love most is that the foam is non-toxic and safe for them. The fomilator is straightforward to use and has high-quality foam. This makes for an excellent gift for summer birthdays or just some fun during the holidays!"

"I bought a couple of these for my boys so they could play together. I definitely recommend using goggles or teaching kids not to aim at faces, as it can sting their eyes like soap. The filling process takes a bit longer than my kids hoped, but the amount of foam produced was impressive, and I was relieved it didn't stain any clothes. Overall, they were really happy kids!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by this toy! It shoots the Nerf bullet and ejects a shell, making it so much fun! The sturdy design adds to the play experience, and I appreciate that it requires no batteries or complicated assembly."

"My 12-year-old son is obsessed with this toy! Great value compared to Nerf guns, with tons of features. The scope lights up unexpectedly, adding a cool effect! It has a variety of shells and darts, and he loves the unique spray shot feature. We just need to figure out how to get more blue shells!"

"My 15-year-old has a huge collection of toy guns, and this one is currently his favorite. It's heavy-duty with pump action and several loading options. He’s had it for over a month, and it still works perfectly. Assembly was tricky, so be prepared to help younger kids!"

"These are awesome! I had great fun with my kids using them for target practice. They are simple to load and shoot."

"This was the perfect gift for my son. He really enjoyed playing with these guns along with his friends. They provide great value!"

"I didn't want to leave a negative review, but I think it's important to mention that these should really be aimed at kids aged 10 and up. My younger nephews struggled with them, and we ended up moving outside to avoid tears. Losing darts in the grass was also a hassle."

"I'm really impressed with the sturdiness and quality of this blaster. I managed to 3D print shells for mega XL darts and even followed Captain Xavier's video on spring upgrades to boost the FPS."

"As a fan of Nerf battles, I found this grenade launcher-style gun to be an excellent choice. It's easy to load, shoots far, and comes with plenty of ammo. I love the shotgun effect of firing three darts at once!"

"My son enjoys this foam blaster, especially because it’s compatible with brand-name darts. He likes the shotgun-shell style cartridges, but he has to reload often, which can be a bit of a hassle. Still, I appreciate the full send capability during family wargames!"
