There's never a bad time to break out the best Nerf guns, but they're a particularly good way to chase off those January doldrums. New year, new you... new Nerf blasters? Sounds about right to us.

That's the whole appeal of Nerf and the many different off-brand toys that are referred to ... and even some of those cool sci-fi guns you see in movies are actually just Nerf blasters painted ...
