How old and tall are they?
My 3 year old loves her stryfe and they're two for 30 pounds at Argos. Buy some bigger magazines and darts from eBay and you're laughing.
Easy to mod with high voltage batteries too!
The rapidstrike is a lot bigger and more sturdy but is more bulky to handle.

Bump.
Nieces have expressed a desire for nerf guns for birthdays.
Suggestions for most fun - budget 20-30 quid per gun if really necessary

My 5 year old has a rapid red (rebelle version of the Stryfe), and she manages to chew through quite some darts, they are probably all under/behind the sofa at this point, but having spare darts is really worth it, otherwise you will be cutting firefights short halfway through because everyone is out.

I've got a load of old Nerf guns I got during my wedding last year to have some fun with on the days leading up to my wedding. They were all purchased off Gumtree locally, some work, some don't (electrical ones). If anyone would like them all free of charge from Birmingham/Solihull please message me. Should have between 8 to 10 Nerf guns
Right, I'm new to the world of the Nerf. What do I need to know? I've got two boys aged seven and 11. They are the excuse I'm using to buy toy guns.
Seen these in Argos...

They are only small, but cheap (especially on 3 for 2!). Good way to start, or should I go figuratively and literally, straight for the big guns?
Do I have to buy specific Nerf ammo, or are there other options?
And what's this I've heard about modifying them so you cancause your children more pain shoot further?

Get the ones that shoot the larger red bullets. Your kids are too old for the cheap small one you have there (they're more suitable for 5 year olds). Screw the automatic ones - they jam too much. If you buy the guns that shoot blue bullets, avoid the clone bullets you can buy for 1p a piece on ebay - they also jam too much and the tip is a harder compound which will hurt more.
And always wear eye protection (£2?) - I know a parent who got shot in the face by his son and ended up with a detached retina. Sellotape isn't useful here.

I'll chip in as my Godson is into Nerf at the moment and I seem to have spent most summer evenings playing Nerf wars in our gardens. These two are quite good easy, to use and don't seem to jam like some of the flashier ones can; feed jams aren't what you need when moving in for that headshot.
Nerf Strong arm
Nerf Hammer shot
Of course your kids will want one with 4 magazines, 'laser sights' and which needs 4 D batteries to operate for about 5 minutes.
