A Nerf gun is a toy gun made by Hasbro that fires foam darts, arrows, discs, or foam balls
. It is also known as a Nerf blaster and is often used for target practice, Nerf battles, and other fun activities
. Nerf guns are manufactured in multiple forms and can be customized with special-made attachments
. Most Nerf brands are packaged with a set of the ammunition it fires, and ammunition refills are also sold separately in greater quantities or bought online
. The Nerf gun works by loading darts into the gun, pulling back on the cocking mechanism, aiming, and pulling the trigger. When the trigger is pulled, the vertical slider comes down, which then releases the piston, which quickly springs back into place, forcing air out of the gun and propelling the dart forward
