Best Realistic Toy Guns of 2025

"This worked great as a stage prop. The sound is kind of lame, but when I cock it, the 'spent' shotgun shell flies through the air. It looks really cool and was perfect for my act."

"I am 21 years old, but I still enjoy buying toys I missed out on as a kid. I found this toy shotgun that has loadable and ejecting shells. It's fairly well made, though the plastic shells feel cheap, and the gun can feel fragile at times. I appreciate the realistic operation, but it definitely has some quirks that make it tricky for kids to use."

"My grandchildren absolutely love this product. My five-year-old enjoys the sound it makes, and my two-year-old could watch the shells discharge all day long. It looks very realistic and is worth every dime to see them have so much fun together!"

"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!"

"Unlike most, I didn't buy this to play with, but to display. It looks really nice next to my poster. When I did play with it, it shot decently, but got a bit jammed once or twice."

"I bought this for my son, and while it doesn't shoot as far as a regular Nerf gun, it doesn't bother him. He has a blast with it! Just a heads up, the orange tip comes off easily, and we don't allow it out of the house since it looks real enough from a distance."

"I had low expectations, but this toy is actually really fun and works well! I came back to buy a couple more. Now I'm looking for replacement bullets and cases because we will inevitably lose some!"

"I was really excited about this product because I enjoy using toy guns. However, upon receiving it, I encountered a problem. After loading the bullet, all I got was the sound of firing with nothing coming out. I struggled for quite a while to fix the jam but eventually gave up and returned it. I suggest anyone interested to be prepared for the possibility of returning this toy, as mine felt like a disappointment."

"My son was thrilled to get this gun as a gift. We had to help him with a few assembly parts, but it was ready quickly. It features some realistic elements like a laser sight and flashlight. This would make an excellent birthday or Christmas present!"

"I bought this for my kid, and he enjoys it, but I can see it’s more of a collectible than a functional toy. The price is decent, but I doubt its durability. The casings don’t eject easily, requiring a twist to get them out when cocking it back. Overall, it’s fun, but I knew what I was getting into."

"I found this toy to be really fun and it shoots pretty far! My son has no issues using it, and I would definitely buy it again!"

"I was really disappointed with this toy. It looked cheap right out of the package and wouldn't shoot at all. I didn’t even give it to my son for Christmas because it was so bad."

"After my son got the Mr Beast version for Christmas, I ordered two more guns because they were so much fun. However, they did run out of ammo quickly. I stumbled upon this one while looking for spare ammo, and it’s our best gun by far! The loading system is great, it shoots the farthest, and it’s very compact!"

"I bought this toy for my 10-year-old son and then my 15-year-old was interested too, simply because of how realistic it is. The bullets and casings eject and fire like a real pistol—though not as reliably, it’s great for entertainment and training."

"I really like this little toy gun. The slugs feed into the shells and it ejects like an actual pistol, which is quite impressive. However, I found the mechanism a bit delicate and it won't shoot very hard, which was a bit disappointing."

"My son was really looking forward to this gun, but he was very disappointed when the trigger broke off within a few hours. It seems like it might not have been built very well."

“My kids adore this gun! Both of my boys have been searching for something like this. It's very durable and cool. The bullets did fall apart after a few plays, but I was able to fix them with a little hot glue. The realistic sound adds to the fun, and I appreciate that batteries were included.”

“I got this as a Christmas gift, and it has been a hit! The bullets stick to windows and mirrors, giving it a unique twist. I love how it has a more life-like appearance compared to traditional Nerf guns.”

“I found the NKOK Realtree Pump Action Toy Shotgun to be a fun and engaging toy, but the quality feels just average. The realistic pump action and ejecting plastic shells are fantastic features that my child enjoys for pretend play. It looks cool with its wood grain and camo design, but I do worry about the durability of the plastic parts. Despite that, it still provides hours of entertainment, so I consider it a decent purchase.”

"My son is a huge fan of Nerf guns, and he absolutely loves this one! It functions perfectly, shooting bullets quickly and far. The materials feel high quality, and the battery lasts a long time. I definitely think it was worth the money!"

"I bought this for my son because he wanted an automatic Nerf gun. Unfortunately, it kept jamming when we loaded all ten bullets. When we removed one, it just shot multiple bullets continuously. He lost several bullets before he could even enjoy playing with it. I wouldn't recommend this for kids."

"I recently changed my review to three stars due to their amazing customer service. They refunded my money and sent my son a different model that works fine. However, the first one only lasted about 10 minutes before the battery died."

"The look of this toy gun is awesome and the feel is great. It's life-size and pretty accurate with the soft bullets! I had a defective hammer initially, but the seller reached out almost immediately and sent a replacement. Great customer service!"

"I got the Toy Gun Foam Blaster for my son's birthday, and he loves it. It came with 40 soft bullets, 12 shells, a holster, and protective goggles. The spring-loaded design allows for 6 rounds to be loaded at once, and the 30-foot shooting range is perfect for his outdoor target practice. I do want to note that it looks incredibly realistic, so I advise caution when letting kids play with it in public."

"I bought one of these for my great nephew, who adores nerf toys. Unfortunately, it broke within the first few hours of use. However, the return process was easy, and I now have a new one ready to give him again. I just hope this one lasts longer because he really did enjoy it while it worked!"
