So are there targets for kids to use or do they just shoot the darts at walls and such? -confused uncle

Me and my grandkids had quite a lot of fun running around the park shooting at each other. Challenging to find the darts and reload, but so much fun! Buy lots of extra darts!

It is not designed for them. It is not meant to fire the "micro darts" as Nerf calls the smaller suction cup darts.

Comes with target darts...12 (I think). Hunting???...I shot a farrow cat in the chest (he was attacking one of my cats)...took two days for the cat to chew the dart out...and he is still around...hunting???...I would use something stronger.

Buy some of the larger packs of blue darts. I bought two extra packs and some extra magazines and you can blast the crap out of everything in your path. I love this thing. By the way I am not a kid well I am a kid at heart. Me and my buddies have a Nerf dart war just about everywhere we go these days.

Plenty of force. Can shoot 30 feet with pretty good force. Arrows are firm foam (nerf) so won't hurt a child unless accidentally hit in face up close. Yes can hit cans over from 15-20 feet. My 5 year old son and I put glasses on and chase each other around the house. Even a hit to head doesn't hurt. Great fun.

Yes. You need to load the orangish colored darts similar to how you'd load bullets into a revolver. This has caused a bit of frustration with my kids when they run around with the gun loaded, but facing down to the floor...some of the darts can fall out. I'd recommend a clip-loaded dart gun instead.

This is not a long range bow & arrow set ... you shoot at a target within 4-8 feet. Thus, even if they don't shoot perfectly straight, it's hard to miss. The bow does have a sight and it helps with aim.The target needs to be smooth for the suction cups to stick - I put a target in a large 20x30 poster frame with plexi/plastic 'glass'. My kids (8&9) love their bows & arrows!!

why do you need to buy new darts anyway? I thought the thing came with 12 or so darts?

Not really. The motor isn't strong enough to shoot them properly if you do. It is designed with enough force so that little ones can use it safely without being struck by the balls and injured. We have had ours for several months and the novelty hasn't worn off for toddlers or adults.

Really? ...Yes. If you try to smush three or four darts into a single hole. Otherwise, it's not a automatic or semi-automatic, it doesn't have a revolving cylinder, it doesn't have a rotating bolt... It's a one shot Nerf gun. It jams just like a sling shot or break action shotgun. Meaning it doesn't.

I shot them at targets plenty of times, the only down side is that you will dull the arrows. Note they are not razor sharp to begin with. If shooting at a target make sure that behind it is not a hard surface, the Arrows are wood and will break if they hit a brick or somthing of that density.

Nope- these darts are magnetic and only stick to the board. They are very well made and the weighting on them allows for accuracy when aiming them at the bullseye.

The projectiles do not launch forcefully. They are maybe inch and half and basically fall out of launcher. My 3 year old grandson has "shot" many of family member with no serious injuries. We do make sure to keep up with them so my 6 month old granddaughter doesn't put them in her mouth.

If they are empty I am sure they can be knocked down. The "arrows" are soft enough to shoot at each other and I often surprise my kids with a sneak attack. It's a lot of fun to play and I've caught my husband picking it up a few times too.

Unless the arrow has a rubber stopper on it no children under 16 years of age should be allowed to shoot a real bow without supervision. I have purchased some of the "dull" or bullet point arrows for my 9 y/o twin granddaughters. They bounce off anything other that a foam target. Again the important thing is SUPERVISION FOR CHILDREN.

The scope is a weird dot thing that I took off and just used the sights. Sights can be dialed in some but for me it still ended up high. As for game, well I guess you could. It does get going pretty fast. I have a cardboard box stuffed to the brim w old denim and even still it gets about half the dart in. Those darts are fairly pointy. That said, the while it *could* be done, its main purpose in life is to be a novelty crossbow. You can't (in my area) take it to the archery range and the gun range starts wondering if they're being pranked. It's a toy for grown ups. Don't expect anything and you won't be disappointed. :-)
