This Nerf blaster transforms me into an ’80s action hero, ready to unleash cheesy one-liners!

The Nerf N-Series Infinite embraces the philosophy that “bigger IS better,” and after putting it to the test, I can confidently say it lives up to that claim. This blaster could very well be the ultimate choice for backyard skirmishes.

While it has its drawbacks—being a bit cumbersome compared to other models and not quite as precise—it’s still significantly easier to hit your targets than older models like the Elite. Plus, it boasts a massive ammo capacity that outstrips most of the top Nerf blasters combined. With its imposing presence, it truly reigns supreme in the foam-dart arena.

The standout feature of the Nerf N-Series Infinite is its impressive capacity. It comes equipped with a detachable “quick-load” belt clip that holds a whopping 40 darts, allowing for nearly uninterrupted firing. Additionally, the belt can carry 16 extra N1 darts for swift reloads, featuring the enhanced accuracy and speed that define the N-Series.

Importantly, this blaster operates without batteries. Unlike many of its peers in the same size and price range, it relies on classic pump action. Just pull back the primer, squeeze the trigger, and you’re off to the races.

Once you get into the groove, the Nerf N-Series Infinite unleashes a barrage of darts at an astonishing rate. With that 40-dart ammo belt, you won’t be running dry anytime soon. The blaster’s marketing claims you’ll have the “capacity to swamp the field with darts,” and it certainly delivers on that promise.

This firepower can be quite empowering, and if you bring the Infinite to a backyard battle, your opponents will definitely feel the pressure. It’s a beast.

However, its size can make it challenging for younger Nerf enthusiasts to handle. The ammo belt stretches over 12 inches, and I found reattaching it to be a bit awkward. There’s no denying that this design is bulky, making it quite thick compared to its N-Series counterparts. This bulkiness can hinder aiming, so in some cases, you might be better off firing from the hip like an action hero from the ’80s.

If you’re gearing up for spring and summer water battles, make sure to stock up on the best water guns.

Fortunately, you won’t be just spraying and praying. Like all N-Series blasters, the Infinite is more accurate than I anticipated. As long as you’re targeting short to mid-range distances, you’ll consistently hit your mark (in my case, a long-suffering Warhammer Spanna Grot plushie).

Long-range accuracy, however, is a different story. The Infinite doesn’t hold up as well as the Nerf N-Series Pinpoint at greater distances. During practice in a reasonably sized room, I found it struggled to hit the target most of the time. This could be due to its lack of a scope or its bulkiness getting in the way, as I noticed darts veering off course when I pulled the trigger.

That said, this isn’t surprising. The Nerf N-Series Infinite isn’t designed to be a sniper rifle, and if that’s what you’re after, you might want to look elsewhere. What this blaster excels at is delivering a relentless storm of darts, and it does so with style.

If you believe reloading is for the faint-hearted or you relish the idea of unleashing a torrent of darts like you’re in an action-packed blockbuster (preferably while shouting something like “come get some”), the Nerf N-Series Infinite checks all the boxes. While it’s one of the pricier options in the lineup, it’s undeniably one of the most enjoyable to use.

For younger kids, I’d recommend something like the Nerf N-Series Agility instead. The Infinite’s size makes it unwieldy for smaller hands.

✅ You dislike reloading: With 40 darts on a rotating ammo belt (plus 16 more in side holders), you can fire away without worrying about reloading anytime soon.

✅ You want the largest Nerf blaster: If you’re looking to send your opponents scrambling, the Infinite is hard to beat.

❌ You’re shopping for younger kids: Its size makes it difficult for smaller children to manage.

❌ You prioritize long-range accuracy: The Infinite shines at short to mid-range but struggles beyond that.

I tested the Nerf N-Series Infinite over a couple of weeks, evaluating its performance at various ranges and against different targets to assess accuracy. I also compared it with other blasters from the N-Series for a comprehensive review.
