Coolest Toy Gun for Christmas 2010: Nerf N-Strike Stampede ECS Blaster

One of the sure-fire hits this Christmas is the NERF N-Strike Stampede ECS, from Hasbro!

This is the first fully automatic NERF Clip System blaster and it is paving the way for many action packed kids games in the future.

What exactly is NERF?

NERF is a kids toy and the acronym stands for “Non-Expanding Recreational Foam.” Basically it is a weapon made of foam and there are many toys like it that can be collected. Toys from NERF have been popular for numerous years, however none were as popular as this blaster which can shoot out its ammunition. Since the ammunition is made with the NERF foam, it is completely safe for a child to play with.

The Stampede ECS Blaster has the following features: 
* For rapid firing it includes 3 extended 18 dart clips
* 60 darts
* To protect against incoming darts, a removable blast shield
* An attachable pop-out bipod that adds stability and doubles as a handle
* An indicator for readiness
* For consistent firing, a jam clearing door

The gun requires 6 “D” batteries for operation.

Why NERF Is Great For Kids

NERF guns have always been perfect for those kids that like games that are action packed, and the Stampede is one of the best releases yet!

Players have the ability to protect themselves from an incoming attack as they plan a precise strategy.

In the entire NERF brand history, this is one of the most exciting additions due to the new components, and kids will enjoy the advantage they will have over their competitors with the latest, greatest blaster to hit the market. This model was made to be light weight and portable so that it can be used on the run as they fire rapidly with high capacity.

Kids will easily pick up on it, though adults enjoy the toy too!

 Should You Buy the NERF N-Strike Stampede ECS Blaster For Your Kids?

If your kids like to play action games with friends, or if they own any other NERF toys, then they will want to own the N-Strike Stampede Blaster as well. Since this toy is bigger and badder than the other NERF guns, it is a little more expensive than the others and is usually priced around $50.

If you would like to give a more complete Christmas gift, you could purchase the NERF gun with the brand new NERF clear blasters, that are just like the bestselling models only with a clear design.

Since younger kids can hurt themselves in action games that include shooting, the NERF guns are advised for children ages 8 and above.
