Customers frequently mention the N-Strike Elite Triad EX-3 Blaster's small size, making it easy for young children to use and handle. Its ease of use and affordable price are also frequently praised, along with its surprisingly powerful shots for its size and the fun it provides for both kids and adults. While some users found the trigger a bit difficult to pull, the positive feedback on other features outweighs this minor drawback.

This little thing shoots straighter, faster, and further than any other nerf gun we own. We have about 8 or 9 of them at this point. It packs a punch for such a tiny thing! I highly recommend it and it's nice not having to reload after every shot like a single shooter.

Bought this little toy at a great price. Significantly lower price than at stores like target where they’ll charge you an extra $4 for the same product. The darts shoot a little harder than the usual nerf guns(a plus in my opinion). Great buy, I don’t regret it. Would be a cute little stocking stuffer.

Purchased this Triad EX-3 Blaster for my 5 yr. old grandson. I was impressed with the quality and weight of the small Blaster and the size was perfect for his small hands. I also purchased the 50 Nerf Bullet set so he didn't have to retrieve his bullets frequently. He enjoys it!

Good at first, but after a while bullets do not stay in the slots. They fall out - a design flaw I assume. Otherwise - it is easy to use and very powerful.

Have some bigger Nerf guns, but sometimes the kids just prefer pulling these smaller ones out. Pack a punch for such small Nerf guns.

It's a Nerf gun. Why are you reading reviews for a cheap Nerf gun? It's Nerf. It works. They work like old Toyotas, they never die. I'm only reviewing this for the points. If you want this for your kid or yourself, just buy it. It is cheap and it works.

I'll pretend that I bought this for my kids, but let's be honest...I bought this for me, the big kid in the house.
My kids love having NERF battles.
Was pleasantly surprised at how far this shoots the darts for being so small.

While the trigger on this gun is a little stiff, it works exactly as you'd expect with the added bonus of being able to hold three darts in the chamber. I've been hit in the butt enough times with this from my kids to know that it is fairly accurate too.

I have an older version of this same blaster (blue) and the new white version is almost half of the power of the old one. Which might be a benefit because the old one is way overpowered.
