Let's all think back to our childhoods, and remember what your first nerf gun was. What do you remember about it? So let's discuss, our first nerf gun(s).

I'll start. My first gun was the hidden shot. I loved that gun, I got it when I was very young. I still have it now, and I still like it. I even found out recently that it can fire mega darts as well as micros, which I found amusing. A few years later, I got a range shot. Somehow I managed to have fun with the useless angling barrel. I still have that, too, and it's sill useless.

What about you?

My first Nerf Gun was an SM750. I wish I knew what the HELL happened to that thing. Also, I wish I bought an SM5K and an Sm1.5K then too...

[Thomas]

Same first gun as you. Cool little things, got me into the idea of modding cause it sucked stock.
I remember a Manta from really early childhood.

Mmm my first nerf gun was a Crossbow then, it kinda broke, after a bit of a tempertantrum and it being thrown against the wall ( I was like 6, and my mom found it at a garage sale for like 4$). And I had the Ghost Busters Blaster, its ammo was very, odd, they were blocks, and they didn't shoot far. And yes, that one did get thrown out too. Then i was out of nerf for about 6 years, and when i came back, i bought a maverick, and that got me back in.

I probably had something before, my memory is fuzzy, but the furthest back I can remember is an old-style mega-shooting TTG.

[Jedijoe9]

I had a Warthog and a Bow 'n' Arrow. Unfortunately, I can't find either of them anymore.

I had a neighbor with a Crossbow. He actually got a second one just for the arrows and I bet that second one is sitting in a garage somewhere now, unused.

Good times.

Longshot, actually. But I used my friend's Expand-a-blasts, Lock 'n load, Sharpshooter 2, and Razorfin for years before that.

[firstblood]

Mine was a Nightfinder. I was really into James Bond and that gun was the only gun that looked remotely close to one. Then a few years later a friend of mine got me into modding.

[The Shadow]

The original orange first shot

[raw shrimp]

A super maxx 3000 new style. I thought I was so cool when i got it for my birthday. I was like 8.

[venom213]

SS2 was my first gun. I really liked the flip down scope and how it came with a decent number of darts, many of which I still have. Currently there is something wrong with it. But I was able to find one practically new at goodwill last month for $2.

[bpso86]

The original ball gun (was orange, fired four) and the blue and pink bow and arrow. It was sweet, that bow and arrow is hard to beat stock.

[Captain]

I almost forgot, I also had a Sharpshooter 2 that I got from a yard sale, long ago. I thought there was something wrong with it because it wouldn't fire. Many years later I realized that it was a mega firing gun. I, being a dumb kid, was trying to use micros. And, about a month ago, I traded a Tek 6 to my friend for his Sharpshooter 2, so now I can dual wield identical guns.

Like raw shrimp, I got the blue SM3K at a young age. I later got a 1st edition nf, and an sspb. I was given an at2k as a gift.
I threw it out. Not being a modder yet, I thought it was broken.
For the next five years, I didn't touch nerf.

Over this past year, nerf has taken me back by storm. I've spent over $700 on blasters, and another ~$100 on homemades. Wallet diddle.



I <3 nerf so much now. If I'm away from a blaster for more than a few weeks, I go into 'withdrawl.'
I need another fucking hobby.

[rokor]

First gun was probably a crossbow, my dad gave me one as a birthday gift when I was really young, I think like three. I didnt know how to use it but once I knew how to work it, I was in a pile of super rare guns. Too bad by the time I was around four, I had no use ofr them and hade a little garage sale with my sister. Now Im a modder and pissed off at my younger self. The guns that brought me back into nerf were the BigBadBow and the strike fire. That was sometime at the end of 2006.

And I really like this thread, its fun to read what others were lucky enough to have, and maybe still lucky to have them, now.

[chefdave]

An sm5k was my first ever gun. Sold it at a garage sale before I started nerfing

[Scotch]

First generation NF when I was like 8. I threw it against the wall ehen I ran out of darts, and it broke so my mom threw it away.

[Dayko]

It is actually funny that you made this topic. I was thinking about doing this for about a week now, but never got around to it.

Lets see, I think my first Nerf blaster was a Secret Shot. I can't be sure but I think it is. The many many years later I got the LS.

[TAiLsChaser]

An arrowstorm which is actually... about 20 feet from me. I still have 3 arrows. My brother had a ballzooka. That was old-school nerf.

[Salmon]

Well, I'm really new to nerf, since I practically didn't even know what it was, but...hmm... I think my sister might have gotten me that gun thats green and has a pump, as in the one Groove integrated into his beloved Xbow, or something once for my birthday.

[sputnik]

Twin Secret Shot 1's. Viper and Sully (i don't remember why i named them, i was 7) Man those things were awesome.

[CAPS]

I had one of those blue SuperMaxx 350's. But the day after I bought a PowerClip after seeing the commercial for it. Ya'll remember it? I was a boy with a PC in a boxing ring with this Sliver Surfer looking thing. I remember all of it's automatic firing glory.

[Axelion burnout]

The first gun that I remember having in the house, was the Missilestorm (it was my sister's). Then my parent's friend gave me a Bow n' Arrow, and soon after it had new friends like the Ballzooka and Secret Shot.

Good times... But I have no idea where the Missilestorm went. I even have one of the barrels that broke off.
