I have a Nerf longshot, and it shoots decently as long as you take off the barrel extension. Because the Nerf rounds are very low mass, the ones with excessively long barrels do not shoot as long as the short barrel ones.
The front-loading ones are also not very far shooting and they break easily.
The yellow rifle one is pretty good but it is hard to find refil packs because it uses a special dart, and i guarantee you will lose the ones it comes with sooner or later.
One of my friends got the belt fed Nerf machine gun too. its not terribly accurate but you don't have to do anything to shoot it a second time so that can be fun too.
Probably the best Nerf creation is the Nerf revolvers though. they aren't as powerful springs as the rifles but they don't break like the one-shot pistols, and they are decently powerful.
The only Nerf gun which shoots under 5 feet when it is not modified or broken is the Jaru Tech Shot, which is a fake Nerf gun that only shoots around 4 feet.
An air soft gun would hurt much more than a Nerf gun. A Nerf gun only shoots foam at an extremely slow speed but an air soft gun is pressurized and shoots bb's at a much faster speed.
It varies between guns. My Nerf Recon shoots around 35 feet. Check out CACox97 on Youtube and check out his Nerf Gun Reviews.
most likely the alpha trooper, its affordable, shoots far, has good capacity, and it has great rate of fire.
Nerf gun
depends what kind of Nerf gun. but your best bet is eBay.
the cheapest Nerf gun is the secret shot its 4.00 the best gun for your money is the maverick that can shoot the farthest of any Nerf gun under $30.00. It is only $6-8.
Definitely Nerf.
The longshot or longstrike
the rampage
TOTALLY Nerf guns. But if you want the best Nerf gun, get the NEW NERF VORTEX FIREFLY TECH LUMITRON
The Nerf Maverick CS-6 was the best selling. This is also the best selling Nerf weapon of all time.
