The Best Nerf Guns in Australia 2024

Nerf fans and gun battle game enthusiasts have the Parker Brothers to thank for! Without them, we would not have these colourful and amazing toy blasters to play with. Today, there are hundreds and thousands of communities engaging in friendly Nerf wars and exhibitions all around the world.

From foam bars that were once used by trucks for pushing race cars, to playballs that “can be thrown indoors without damaging lamps, breaking windows, or hurting babies and old people,” Nerf has evolved into one of the most famous toy brands that has brought fun and action to generations of kids (and adult hobbyists as well).

Origin of the Word Nerf

People may ask what NERF actually stands for. Some may even mistake it for an acronym; still, you might be surprised to know that it is not an acronym at all. The name Nerf came from “nerf bars” which are foam-based bars used by trucks to push racing cars during the 1960s. These nerf bars prevented the cars from being damaged by the trucks.

A toy company called Parker Brothers created the Nerf toy brand. Eventually, Parker Brothers would be assimilated by Hasbro, the current owner and distributor of all things Nerf.

The first Nerf products were playballs. Parker Brothers introduced the playball as some sort of an indoor ball. Their first slogan was…

“Throw it indoors; you can't damage lamps or break windows. You can't hurt babies or old people.”

… and Nerf became initially popular with children as a throw ball.

It was in 1992 that Nerf released the first dart blaster, the product that we now know and associate the name Nerf with. Since then, the brand has acquired a cult following of Nerf battle enthusiasts, with competitions and exhibits being organised by fans from all over the world.

Where to Find the Best Nerf Blasters

Albeit many Nerf toys can be played indoors, most Nerf war games are best played outdoors. Have a look at some Fun Outdoor Games for Kids and Adults. Don't forget the toddlers; there are many Outdoor Toys for Toddlers too!

If you and your children are Nerf enthusiasts yourselves and you're looking for the best Nerf gun range available on the market, then you are lucky to have stumbled upon this article. Mr Toys takes the pleasure of highlighting the best Nerf guns in Australia for your Nerf games this year… and beyond!
