Best Toy Guns Every Child Should Get For Christmas

Tred says every boy & girl should grow up with a toy firearm to play with, here is his list of the best toy guns that should be under the Christmas tree.

Manasquan, NJ –-(Ammoland.com)- It is coming up quick this year, that magical holy day called Christmas. When every red-blooded American Child goes to bed early and stays up all night dreaming of the wonders that will be left under the tree by Jolly ole Saint Nick.

I remember that my brother and I’s most memorable gifts all had something to do with Stretch Armstrong, Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em ROBOTS, or Toy Guns. It seems now the first two have been replaced by iPhones and X-Boxes but nothing can replace a fun Toy Gun as a gift.

There is no age limit that can not be satisfied with the gift of a toy firearm, whether it is the safe and soft Nerf guns for the very young to the lucky pre-teen that finds a working BB Gun under the tree.  Not only is it a thrill and a hoot to shoot my picks of the best toy guns, but there is the underlying knowledge and pride that your cool Dad or worried Mom both trust you enough to handle it safely and responsibly.

Here are My Top Five pick for Best Toy Guns :

• CAR-15 Carbine M-16 Toy Rifle
• The Nerf Reactor
• Modern Warfare SNIPER RIFLES Miniature Toy Guns Pack
• Crosman Game Face Defender Strike Kit
• Gamo Whisper Silent Cat Air Rifle

1) CAR-15 Carbine M-16 Toy Rifle

This makes my list for just one reason, Price! Just $9.99ea. They are so cheap in price that it would be an insane gift if your youngster found a stack of these under the tree for him, thank you Santa!  You can bet JR will be the hit of his posse when he shows up at the fort with a stack of M16s in his wagon. Talk about playing army, all his best buds will be issued their own M16 Carbine just like GI Joe.

The sturdy ABS plastic material vibrates when you pull the trigger making firing sounds. Length: 16 Inches, realistic RAT-TAT-TAT firing sound with no batteries needed!

And if you really want to blow their minds throw in a Lot of 4 Kids Toy B/O Grenades for Pretend Play.   Throw one at Grandma…!

2) The Nerf Reactor Recommended age: 6 years and up. Also, be sure and get extra ammo, Hog Wild Green Refill Balls

“There is something so appealing about blasting foam balls out of a plastic gun. And when the gun looks as cool as this all-plastic Air Tech Ball Blaster from Nerf, the experience is even more gratifying. The Ball Blaster’s design is quite simple, and consequently, it’s very easy to use. Just push the four foam balls (included) into the launch tube, and you’re loaded. When you have a target in sight, grab the front barrel handle and pull it towards you. Only one ball will fire at a time, but with a little practice you should be able to unleash a fierce volley of four foam projectiles in short order. The one we tested was surprisingly accurate and was powerful enough to cross a medium-sized room quickly. The manufacturer explicitly warns against firing the Ball Blaster at other people or animals, but the foam balls are very soft and lightweight and would probably not be fatal if one should be accidentally fired at an annoying sibling or coworker… just kidding coworkers, of course.” says Chris Burns
