Like plenty of other toy guns, the Nerf N-Strike Vulcan EBF-25 Blaster ($40, nerf.com) has a pneumatic pump that's used to fire off single rounds.
But six D batteries turn the hybrid Blaster into a foam-shooting tommy gun—feeding a 25-dart belt through a fully automatic chamber at more than two shots per second. The result: the fastest, most powerful Nerf gun ever and the one best equipped for mowing down moving targets.
To make sure you're the last man standing in a firefight, start by pinning down your prey with suppression fire. "You're not trying to hit them, just make them take cover," says Justice Smith, who fires a similar weapon at hapless competitors on TV's American Gladiators. "Then aim 1 to 2 ft. in front of them and pull the trigger the second they get up. You'll hit them on the first shot nine times out of 10."
