Better Thinking

Every year nerf guns are highly popular presents & with their low prices and endless enjoyment you can easily see why.

As with all toys, it is typically the more you spend – the better you get. The price of nerf guns vary greatly depending on the three following factors.

- Design & Build Quality
- Branding
- Outlet (the store that sells them)

Design & Build Quality
If you are looking for a cheap, non professional type nerf gun a price of around £10 is reasonable. These can be picked up both online and in small street toy retailers. They will typically be built out of a lower quality plastic and wont have as long a life as their metal or stronger counterparts.
Professional Nerf Guns will typically be built out of stronger materials and will be more personalised. Adding accessories such as scopes, larger magazines and even speakers for authentic gun sounds will be possible. Professional Nerf Guns will normally start at around £50 for a starter model and range upto the hundreds for diehard fans.

Branding
Although authentic nerf guns are made by Hasbro many other companies design and manufacture similar models. Unbranded Chinese imports will typically cost around 30% less than their branded counterparts. Allot of nerf gun enthusiasts choose to buy unbranded (re-usable) ammunition to keep costs low.

Where to buy

Different stores will have different markups & profit margins so the cost will vary. Many people choose to buy Nerf Guns online from sites such as Nerf.co.uk because they have larger ranges & lower prices.

If you are looking for a nerf gun to have a bit of fun with the family, a cheap and cheerful one such as the Nerf barricade gun at £8.99 should do the job perfectly and provide endless smiles.
