Who invented nerf? How many nerf guns are there? With their super successful and popular super soaker coming to market in by Larami, a massive toy company. While later in , Hasbro was able to take control of Larami and become the owner of Super Soaker. Lonnie filled many patents for water gun technology and that was before super soaker entering the market. And so, many think the Nerf gun had several contributions from ideas of Lonnie.
While there are other theories too that are pretty popular in NERF gun invention discussion. The first thing that was made out of spongy synthetic soft foam was not a nerf gun. In fact, it was not anything that was able to shoot. It was just a ball that could bounce. An American inventor, Reyn Guyer was the first one who was behind the whole concept of soft foam balls in the late s.
And after that, he came in contact with the Parker Brothers. So, it was officially a thing to enter the market in Making the very first appearance of Nerf Brand.
The ball was a super hit due to its soft fun foam feature that causes zero risks to children with any sort of personal damage or injury. By the end of the year, the brand was enjoying 4 million units sold making it a huge success.
Then came the bigger version, Super Nerf Ball. It came along with the strap-on basketball hoop, Nerfoop.

The legendary sharpshooter was the first one to use darts instead of foam balls. With its releasing in , the starting of Sharpshooter Darts was officially on the market and this spring-powered blaster was able to grab a lot of attention for this reason. Later the progress invited Mega Darts.
The company worked very hard to make designs as urbane as possible. And at the same time, their goal was to create darts that show some excellent shooting capabilities. In , the successor to its previous version, Nerf Sharpshooter II was ready to enter the arena and its popularity was also pretty insane. The 90s saw Nerf further expand its array of blasters into guns that fired missiles, balls, and suction-cup darts.
These toys sound a bit more sophisticated than the old Blast A Ball. Although my brother and I can attest that the Blast A Ball was great for whacking each other even once its ammunition had been lost. All of this extra firepower has come at a price, though. In Nerf had to recall its N-Strike Recon Blaster after at least 46 reports of kids sustaining injuries while firing the gun. Each year his family uses it as an ornament on their Christmas tree.
