A foam dart blaster, or simply blaster, is a toy gun that shoots foam darts. The term is often treated synonymously with Nerf Blaster, as Nerf was the first brand to start producing blasters,^[1] and has since remained the most notable producer of them^{[citation needed]}. Other notable brands include Zuru's X-Shot and Prime Time Toys' Dart Zone. More competitive blaster enthusiasts sometimes choose to opt for building or 3D printing their own blaster instead for improved performance, and modding is popular within the community as well.

Foam dart blasters are commonly used in Nerf wars, usually organized either by Nerf internet community (NIC) or locally by youth organizations.
