These blasters are generally the easiest in function by compressing a spring to then fire a dart. They’re usually pump-action, bolt-action, or top-prime. Easiest and simplest to use.
These blasters are the go-to for semi and full-auto firing. They use rechargeable batteries and require the purchase of a battery charger, but give a high rate of fire and moderate power.
AEB (Automatic Electric Blasters) are newer to the Nerf scene. They’re Spring Powered for high power, but are primed electrically instead of manually primed every shot.
