You could be a Nerfer already owning many nerf blasters, or you could be planning to get new ones. Either way, to ensure an awesome Nerfing experience do consider purchasing some Nerf accessories and pumping up your blaster's capabilities. Nerf accessories range anywhere from small muzzle extensions to tricycles. These add-ons are manufactured by both Nerf and other third party manufacturers. Here we'll try to provide a comprehensive coverage of all Nerf accessories that are available in the market right now.
Note: Nerf Accessories do augment the Nerf experience but do not change core blaster performance. Nerf dart velocities and ranges are not impacted. If you're looking to boost your blaster's raw performance then Nerf modifier kits are what you need.
Nerf darts, Shoulder stocks, barrel extensions and magazines/drums are currently the most known Nerf accessories. But there are many more unknown to Nerf fans. Here's a comprehensive listing of all the Nerf accessories that you can buy from Hasbro-Nerf and other manufacturers as well.
Nerf Go Kart
Nerf in association with Hauck toys has developed this go-kart ‘NERF Battle Racer’. It’s a good looking custom go-kart suitable for Nerfer kids aged between 4 and 10 years. It can support a maximum weight of 110 pounds.
The Nerf Battle Racer has features that allow you to strap in up to four Nerf blasters, carry hundreds of darts at a time for your intense Nerf wars. Meanwhile, the Kart in itself is of high-grade quality. A steel frame supports the vehicle, and also includes a fully adjustable seat and four rubber tired wheels. Though the Kart is manual and pedal-powered, it still includes a handbrake keeping the safety of kids in mind.
Nerf Tactical Vests
Nerf Tactical Vests are not essentially for safety or meant to be precautionary wear as Nerf darts don’t really hurt on impact. These vests serve the purpose of additional storage and let you carry a lot of firepower during your nerf wars. Unlike the Go Kart, we have many buying options when it comes to Nerf Tactical Vests. All Nerf vests are designed for kids 8 years and up.
Why do you need a tactical vest for nerve guns?
Wearing tactical vests, or what is commonly referred to as Nerf kits, is a popular way to show team spirit while also staying safe. These kits typically include safety items like helmets and pads to help protect against injury. Of course, the primary purpose of wearing a Nerf vest is to ensure you have plenty of darts so that you never run out of ammo in the midst of a Nerf battle!

Nerf Walkie Talkies
Communication with your fellow teammates is the key to winning your Nerf wars and Nerf walkie talkies are the best tools to make it happen. Currently, there are two variations of Nerf walkie talkies available in the market. One is the low-end cheaper version and another pricier but higher-end version, the Nerf 10-mile walkie talkie. Both versions require 9V AA batteries to operate. Both versions have morse code buttons that enable Nerfers to communicate in places where they cannot talk loud.

Also, there is no restriction on what type of darts that you can use with the specific Nerf guns except for a few exceptions. Mega darts can only be used with nerf Mega blasters. But Elite, Zombie Strike, Modulus, Rebelle, Alien Menace, Doomland, Suction and AccuStrike Darts can be used interchangeably.

Nerf Tactical Scopes
Most Nerf blasters have tactical rails on top where you can attach a Nerf scope. Technically they don’t improve the accuracy of shooting as they are not equipped with lenses. But a nerf rifle with scope do drastically increase the cool factor of your Nerf blaster. And if you’re doing a cosplay, these scope accessories are sure to come in handy.
What should you keep an eye out for when searching for a Nerf Gun Scope?
Look: We all want our Nerf guns to look their best, and the visual appeal of a good-looking site can greatly enhance your Nerf gun experience.
Size and weight: It is essential to consider the size and weight of the scope, as well as its durability and ease of use. The scope should be lightweight and easy to mount onto your Nerf gun, while also being durable enough to withstand the wear and tear of regular use.
Cost: How much you are willing to spend on a sight will depend on your budget and the specific features you are looking for. However, it is worth noting that many Nerf gun sights are reasonably priced, making them accessible to a wide range of players who want to take their gameplay to the next level.
Nerf Magazines and drums
When you’re in the heat of battle, reloading darts into a single magazine puts you at a big risk of getting shot. Its advisable to carry additional mags to instantly reload your blaster and carry on Nerfing. Also, Nerf blasters come with different capacity magazines. Some with 6-dart mags, and some with huge 35-dart capacity drums. Like Nerf darts, most Nerf magazines and Nerf drums are compatible with most blasters except for a few exceptions (see below).
What Makes a Nerf Magazine a Good Accessory
A drum is a cylindrical magazine crafted to hold more darts without taking up much vertical space. It functions similarly to a clip or magazine, but it is crafted with a cylindrical shape for increased capacity. With this design, more horizontal space is utilized.
Any Nerf Magazines/Drums can only be used with Nerf blasters that are clip-fed. Nerf N-Strike Blasters that fall under Elite, Zombie Strike, Modulus, Rebelle, Alien Menace, Doomland, and AccuStrike series, can interchangeably use their magazines and drums. Also, important, Magazine and Drums themselves can also be used instead of the other.
Nerf Barrel Extensions
Nerf barrel extensions are Nerf accessories that can be attached on to increase the accuracy of the blaster. Also, the Nerf gun looks closer to real life weapons with the addition of these extensions. One minus here would be that they reduce the muzzle velocity slightly and in turn the range. If you’re a cosplayer and love painting guns, then these barrel extensions are a great help in creating a life-like weapon.
To add a barrel extension, your blaster should have a slot on its front. Please make sure of it before you purchase one. Certain barrel extensions even have a slot in themselves, allowing you to train multiple extensions on your blaster. Cool huh..!
Note: Each barrel extension is compatible with certain series of blasters. Make sure you purchase the barrel extension for your blaster. Also, confirm that your blaster has an extension slot. Some blasters do and some don’t.

Nerf Shoulder Stocks
In real guns, shoulder stocks give a considerable amount of stability while firing. It makes it easy for the person firing the gun to absorb the recoil from the weapon. Even though Nerf blasters don’t have much of a recoil, shoulder stocks make it easier to aim and also make it convenient to hold the blaster. These shoulder stocks succeed in giving the Nerf blaster a realistic make-over and also improve the ergonomics drastically. Some stocks even support additional features like firing Nerf missiles too.
Note: Each shoulder stock is compatible with certain series of blasters. Make sure you purchase the right stocks for your blaster. Also, confirm that your blaster has a stock slot. Some blasters do and some don’t.

Nerf Safety Goggles and Nerf Masks
In our opinion protective Nerf accessories are a must for kids who spend a lot of time Nerfing. It is important that you protect your eyes from oncoming darts. Though the darts don’t hurt the skin on impact, eyes are sensitive and best to be covered. And with Nerf goggles, you can do it in style. They are made up of durable and clear material and are safe for kids to use.
