NERF GLOSSARY

Like any other hobby, the jargon in nerf, blaster tag, and foam-flinging can get confusing to beginners – and, admittedly, veterans as well. Naturally, we borrow many words, acronyms, and initialisms from other shooting sports, video games, and pop culture; still, others come from inside the hobby itself.

On this page, we've collected as many of these words as we could and defined them in this glossary. We also threw some common 3D printing terms in here while we're at it. The terms are listed in alphabetical order, but you can use your browser's find feature to quickly locate a term you're looking for.

Can you think of something we're missing? Shoot us an email, and we'll consider adding it in the future!

 

0.50 Caliber / 0.50 Cal

1. A class of foam ammo, 1/2" (12.7mm) in diameter, that includes full-length darts, half-length darts, and foam paintball rounds. Generally, if a blaster can fire one type of .50 cal foam ammo, it will take minimal modification to fire a different kind of .50 cal ammo.
2. Foam paintball rounds with the same diameter as full-length and half-length darts.

130 Motor

1. The size specification number of a brushed DC motor with the form factor of a typical stock flywheel blaster or slot car. Some upgraded brushed DC motors are also available in this size.

132 Motor

1. The size specification number of a brushed DC motor with an atypical form factor slightly different from a stock flywheel blaster. These motors are less common, but some Worker motors are available in this size.

180 Motor

1. The size specification number of a brushed DC motor. Some upgraded motors are available in this form factor, and may require shell cutting to fit the longer motor cans in a blaster.

260 Motor

1. The size specification number of a brushed DC motor common in stock Rival and Hyper flywheeler pusher mechanisms. Because of their larger size, they are more difficult to replace than other stock blaster motors.

360/370/380 Motors

1. The size specification numbers of brushed DC motors. Most Nerf Rival blasters use a 360 size, while 370 and 380 are longer variants. Because of their larger size, they are more difficult to replace than other stock blaster motors.

788 Spring 

1. The size and strength specification of a spring common in modded and 3D-printed blasters. A 788 is weaker than a K26 but stronger than many stock blaster springs.

14500 Cell

1. The size specification number of a rechargeable lithium battery with a similar form factor as a AA / LR6 alkaline battery.

26650 Cell

1. The size specification number of a common rechargeable lithium battery. While less common in the hobby, some 3rd-party blasters come packaged with a 26650, and its larger form factor makes it a prime choice for many other applications.

3D Printing

1. A form of additive manufacturing where a machine heats or cures materials together to form a solid object. 3D printing comes in many different flavors, including FDM / FFF, SLA resin, and SLS nylon; all of these types of printing come with their own benefits and drawbacks.

ABS

1. Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene.
2. A type of thermoplastic common in injection molding and less common in 3D printing. Most injection-molded blasters will be made with ABS.

Acceleration Trigger

1. See “Rev Trigger.”

Additive Manufacturing

1. A production process that builds layers of material together to produce an object. Additive manufacturing, like 3D printing, can be quicker and produce less waste than other processes, which is why many of our in-house products are 3D-printed.

AEB / AEG

1. Automatic Electric Blaster / Automatic Electric Gun.
2. A springer blaster which is primed with an electric motor. This allows a blaster to combine the rate of fire and repeatability of a flywheeler with the accuracy and performance of a springer.

Air Blaster

1. A blaster which uses a pressure tank, a manual pump, and a release valve to propel foam out of the barrel. Air blasters are an older type of design but have been a favorite of modders to tinker with. See “XBZ.” The Elite 2.0 Motoblitz and power plungers/drain blasters are also notable examples of air blasters.

Auto-Springer

1. See “AEB / AEG.”

AWG

1. American Wire Gauge.

Balance Charging

1. The act of safely charging a LiPo battery while monitoring the voltage in each cell.

Balance Connector

1. A wire terminal on a LiPo battery that is used to monitor and diagnose the voltage of each cell. This is almost always a JST connector, and it’s what you plug a LiPo alarm into when the battery is in use.

BCAR / Bearing SCAR

1. Bearing Centering and Rotation.
2. A barrel attachment using specially shaped bearings to impart spin on darts as they leave the barrel, increasing accuracy. Because it uses bearings instead of monofilament fishing line or 3D-printed grooves, a BCAR promises less drag on the dart than traditional SCARs and PCARs.

Boffer

1. Any type of foam melee weapons, like Buzz Bee swords and pool noodles. A Boffer War usually only involves foam melee and no blasters at all.

BoM

1. Bill of Materials.
2. A list of hardware and supplies required to build a design, kit, or product. All of our complete hardware kits are double-checked against a printed bill of materials, and it can be helpful when organizing parts for your build.

Brass

1. An alloy of copper and zinc used for various purposes and applications. In the hobby, brass tubing is known for tight seals around 0.50 cal darts, making it perfect as a barrel material in springers.

C-Rating

1. Charge/Discharge rate.
2. How fast the battery delivers continuous voltage and current to a circuit. A higher C rating in a LiPo will spin your blaster’s flywheels up faster even if the voltage and capacity is the same as another battery pack.

1. Darts Per Second.
2. A dart-specific unit of Rate of Fire.

Dry-Fire

1. Firing a blaster without a foam projectile loaded. Many springer or stringer blasters can be damaged from dry-firing because parts of the plunger assembly slam into each other without the resistance a dart or ball would provide. 

Dummy Cell

1. A battery-shaped conductor that connects two battery tray terminals without adding additional voltage to the circuit. These are essentially fancy wires often used to fill a battery tray; they can be used with IMRs to adjust the voltage in a circuit to get below an FPS cap.

2. A type of Lithium-ion cell, usually packaged in a 14500- or 26650- sized format. 14500-sized IMRs offer a higher voltage (3.7V) and a higher discharge rate than alkaline cells while still fitting inside stock blaster battery trays. IMRs are considered somewhat safer than LiPos, but still have some drawbacks (like a lower energy density)

Infill

1. In 3D printing, the structure added into a shape to add strength and stability to a part. Some smaller parts may have 100% infill and no discernable pattern, while larger parts can be designed with a patterned infill that uses less plastic without compromising the strength of the product.

Inline Clip

1. A barrel or attachment with a progressively narrower inner diameter so that only the dart closest to the muzzle has enough of a seal to fire. Depending on the design, an inline clip can be "self-loading" with a lightweight spring, or it requires seating the next dart manually with a flick of the blaster.

Integration

1. A complex blaster mod that combines the shells and internals from two or more different stock blasters to achieve a desired look or performance. Some integrations involve making a "sleeper" mod that appears stock at first glance, while others cut and glue the shells together forming a unique one-of-a-kind blaster.

Note: the “K” does not refer to the spring weight rating in kilograms (kgs).

LFP / LiFePO4

1. Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery
2. A type of Lithium-ion cell, usually packaged in a 14500- or 26650- sized format. LFPs offer a higher voltage (3.2V) and a higher discharge rate than alkaline cells but are considered safer than IMRs or LiPos. 14500-sized cells will fit inside stock blaster battery trays and, when paired with dummy cells, make for an instant performance upgrade for beginners.

LiMN

1. See “IMR.”

LiPo

1. Lithium-ion Polymer Battery.
2. A High-voltage, high-discharge battery pack made from polymer cells connected to a standard battery terminal connector (like XT-60). LiPos offer the highest energy density of any hobby battery but do require care when using and charging (see LiPo safety page).

Porting

1. Holes or vents at the end of a barrel that are designed to reduce turbulence and improve accuracy.

Precompression

1. When the resting length of the spring before priming the blaster is shortened, usually by adding a spacer or a longer spring than designed to fit in the plunger tube. This increases the potential energy the spring will provide when the trigger is released but may make the blaster more difficult to prime or lower the life of the spring.
