Best Dinosaur Nerf Guns For Kids (DinoSquad)

Designed to look like a ferocious T-Rex the Nerf DinoSquad Rex-Rampage blaster is a smooth shooter.

This is flywheel powered and requires 4 AA batteries to power the motor. The front of the gun has the face of a snarling T-Rex featuring teeth around the barrel.

To fire, you use the rev trigger to get the wheel spinning and pull the firing trigger to fire one dart at a time. 20 darts are included to load the 10-dart magazine, and the rest can be held in the dart storage clip on the stock of the gun.

Shooting darts at up to 70 feet per second, you can get a range of about 50-70 feet max with a bit of an angle.

The scope is permanently attached but is a good size and is easy to see through. Other than there are no tactical rails or any room for additional attachments.

Who Should Buy The Rex-Rampage

The best choice for a dinosaur-themed Nerf pistol right now is the Raptor-Slash, a spring-powered, 6-shot revolver blaster.

The shell of this gun is a red-blue Raptor with teeth around the barrel and a mohawk up top.

To cock the Raptor-Slash you pull back on the top rear priming handle before firing each shot.

It has a bit lower dart speed at around 65 feet per second, but thats plenty enough to get the job done.

You can also use the slam-fire feature on this one by holding down the trigger and pulling the primer as fast as you can.

The Raptor-Slash comes with 6 darts, which are loaded in the front by rotating the barrel a bit to get them all in.

Who Should Buy The Raptor-Slash

While this isn’t the best Nerf revolver available, people are buying this for its sweet design, which is unique.

The softer shooting speed is barely noticeable and is actually better for a kid’s Nerf battle.

There are no extra frills or attachment options, but that is the same for all of these DinoSquad guns.

This is the best budget blaster on the list, costing less than even some of the best smallest Nerf guns.

If you fancy your blaster looking like an Ankylosaurus, the DinoSquad Armorstrike is a sturdy pump action option.

The exterior design features the spike armored back and horned head with an 8-dart rotating cylinder in its mouth.

Just like the Rex-Rampage, the Armorstrike includes enough darts to fill the blaster and then more for a full reload in the dart storage clips.

This armored dinosaur gun shoots around the normal velocity of 70 feet per second but doesn’t feature slam fire.

Where the infamous clubbed tail would be, there is a stock with ammo storage and small tactical rails on top and bottom.

These tactical rails add some room for attachments but at a spot that isn’t ideal for anything but more storage.

Who Should Buy The Armorstrike

If you don’t want to deal with batteries and don’t mind pumping to shoot, the Armorstrike is a solid runner-up to the Rex-Rampage.

You can’t crank out the darts super fast as it doesn’t have slam fire, but it has a simple prime and no firing issues.

While it has the style of a pump action Nerf shotgun, it fires one dart at a time.

Eight darts is a pretty good capacity for a revolver blaster, and this one is easy to front load.

There isn’t much room for attachments or customization, but this is an awesome-looking Nerf blaster for kids.

Arm this blaster quickly with a pull primer on the back and fire one shot with four darts at the ready in ammo slots under the barrel.

Five standard Elite elite darts are included with the DinoSquad color theme.

The Stego-Smash has the standard Nerf performance, at 65 feet per second dart velocity.

One extra feature on this on this one is the hand guard over the grip. Keep in mind that those with bigger hands might find some of these grips a bit small.

Who Should Buy The Stego-Smash

Kids seem to love this one as there are tons of positive reviews. The spikes are super cool and not sharp or hard enough to do too much damage with.

It really is a standard Nerf pistol, but well-priced at under $10.

This one costs about the same as the Raptor-Slash, so a decision probably comes down to which you think looks better.

It is really close in size as well, but much smaller than the rest, so may be better for the younger kids.
