Best Toy Guns of 2026

"I picked up the Nerf Elite 2.0 for my kids, and it's been a fantastic addition to our home. The build is solid and the performance exceeds expectations, especially when it comes to range and accuracy. My kids play with it every day and it's still going strong. Highly recommend for anyone looking to keep their children active and entertained."

"As a parent, I was searching for a toy that's both safe and entertaining for my 6-year-old, and this Nerf gun fits the bill perfectly. It's lightweight, user-friendly, and packs enough punch to be fun but not overwhelming. Both kids and adults enjoy it, great for indoor and outdoor play. Just make sure you have extra darts!"

"When my 7-year-old son received this as a Christmas present, he was overjoyed. It's powerful enough to be exciting, so we remind everyone not to shoot at close range. The whole family gets involved—target practice and sneaking around the house have never been more fun. It’s brought us lots of laughs and great memories."

"I gave this as a birthday gift for a 3-year-old, and it was such a hit with the whole family! The rockets are so easy to launch and soft enough to be safe, which made it fun and worry-free for everyone. I really liked that it came with multiple rockets and didn't need any batteries. Definitely recommend it!"

"My kids are obsessed with this toy—the dinosaur theme and high-flying rockets make it extra exciting. It’s simple enough for my youngest to use solo and has held up to lots of play. Perfect for keeping them active outdoors and great for ages 3-7."

"For the price, this has given my 4-year-old godson hours of entertainment. It’s easy for him to use on his own. The materials may not be top-notch, but the fun factor totally makes up for it. Well worth the purchase!"

"I got this for my two boys during Christmas, and I'm happy to say the foam balls are soft and safe, just as described. The kids have a blast with the easy-to-assemble target and blasters, though it takes a little practice to get the firing right. Overall, it's a fun and safe toy for all ages!"

"My child absolutely loves this toy! It's simple to use and the foam balls don't hurt at all. The blaster comes with plenty of accessories for long play sessions, and I truly feel it's a great value for the price. I highly recommend it!"

"We bought this for a birthday, and it was a hit with my 7-year-old. The set is quick to put together and is entertaining for both kids and adults. Even my three-year-old can join in the fun!"

"I brought the IVOXEX Laser Tag Guns Set for a family gathering, and it quickly became the center of attention. The built-in digital scoring on the vests eliminated any confusion, and the guns are sturdy and simple to use. We loved the variety of weapon modes and how it got everyone—from the youngest to the oldest—up and moving. Setup was a breeze, and the battery life lasted through multiple sessions. I’d absolutely recommend this for anyone seeking a fun, interactive group activity."

"We bought these for my child’s birthday and were amazed. The setup was straightforward, and the kids figured out the controls instantly. They played outside for hours without getting bored, and the game kept everyone off their screens and on their feet. Everything we needed was included, and the kids had an absolute blast."

"These laser tag guns are a fantastic way to get the kids up and active. The sound and lights make the game really exciting, and the guns are user-friendly. However, I noticed the plastic isn’t super sturdy, and the batteries needed replacing sooner than I hoped. Still, they’re a hit for casual play and great for keeping kids entertained."

"I was amazed at how quickly and easily I could set up this rocket launcher—less than a minute! My two boys and the neighbors' kids all love it, and even the dads get in on the fun. It’s become my go-to birthday gift for young boys, and I highly recommend it."

"My grandson absolutely adores these rockets! Having two sets makes it easy for him to share with friends, and the extra rockets mean play doesn't stop if one gets stuck in a tree. They're lightweight, so I don't worry about damage if they land on cars or windows. He could play with this for hours."

"The assembly was a breeze, and my four-year-old can load and launch the rockets all by himself. The whole family has fun seeing how high they go. While the rockets do show some wear after lots of use, they’re still going strong and provide lots of entertainment."

"This toy is awesome and super entertaining! The balls actually float, and trying to shoot them is a blast. My 7-year-old finds it a bit tricky to aim, but it doesn’t take away from the fun. The balls are small though, so I recommend keeping them in a bag to avoid losing them."

"I have to say, this is a fantastic gift—my 8-year-old literally plays with it more than anything else from Christmas. Just be aware: the darts really sting—they shoot out faster than regular Nerf darts! The machine is on the louder side (think old Playstation fans), but the solid build and fun factor make up for it. It’s also great for boosting hand-eye coordination."

"My oldest absolutely loves this toy, and it’s become a staple for family playtime. It’s so much fun that we use it every day together!"

"I absolutely love the slam fire function on this Nerf blaster—it's a total game-changer for rapid shooting! The drum is super easy to reload, and it hasn't jammed on me once. Whether we're playing in the house or outside, it's always a hit with both kids and adults. If you want a reliable, fun, and simple Nerf gun, I can't recommend this one enough!"

"As a parent, I appreciate that my 3-year-old can use this toy all by himself. It's not only easy to operate, but the quality is great for the price. Definitely a win for younger kids!"

"I ordered several of these in different colors, and while the guns and custom darts are really cool, the packaging had a super strong, unpleasant odor. Thankfully, the smell didn't stick to the toys, but I did have to repackage them for gifting. Still, the blaster itself works perfectly and looks awesome!"

"I used these darts at a Nerf battle and appreciated how well they fit the blasters and shot accurately. The big pack with a storage bucket made cleanup so much easier. I’ll definitely be getting more for future games!"

"We bought these for a Nerf-themed birthday party, and they were a hit! I love that they're compatible with all our Nerf guns, and the bucket makes collecting them quick. With so many darts for the price, I’m sure I’ll be ordering again."

"Bought these for a youth group Nerf war and was really happy with the great value and huge quantity. The storage bag even doubles as a target, which was a fun bonus. A few tips broke, but that happens with even the official darts."

"My nephews had a blast with this toy, spending hours seeing how far they could launch the rockets. The rockets are brightly colored and held up well, making them easy to spot and durable for lots of play. This made a fantastic gift for young boys who love active games."

"I bought this for my son, and it’s been a hit from the start. The launcher sends the rockets flying a great distance, and the whistling sound adds to the excitement. Just make sure to launch it horizontally or onto soft grass to prevent breakage—otherwise, it's fun for all ages."

"While this rocket launcher keeps my kids entertained and moving, the build feels a bit lightweight, and the rockets don’t always launch consistently. It’s a good choice for occasional outdoor play, but I wish it was a bit more durable for longer-lasting fun."

"I picked up the N1 series darts and was really impressed—they’re more accurate and even faster than the usual Elite darts. The pack is the perfect size for stocking up, and the unique design gives them a cool edge. Just note, you’ll need an N1-compatible blaster for these, but overall, the reliability and performance are top-notch."

"I bought this as a birthday present for my nephew and he was thrilled! For the price, the gun feels solid and is super easy to load and shoot. The rapid fire mode is a major hit during our Nerf wars, and the value you get here is incredible."

"We got multiple blasters for my nieces and nephew, and I love that they all use the same darts—it makes things so much easier. This blaster’s clip is bigger, and while it can jam if not reloaded correctly, once you figure it out, it shoots fast and far. The darts can sting at close range, but overall, these are great for family fun and battles."
