My parents didn’t let my brother or I have nerf guns or the good 90s super soakers.
As an adult with my own son, I can confirm we enjoy some nerf guns, but those are pretty meh compared to the non-nerf-brand Darth blasters they have now.
We got 10 shot semi-auto blasters, we got 6-shot pull back revolvers, a giant ass automatic yellow machine gun, we got two fully automatic (and loud as fuck) 20 dart blaster rifle things, and he got a fully automatic mini gun dart blaster from Santa.
My ex hates nerf blasters with a passion, and I still haven’t gotten those back at my place yet
