Fresh from NERF is this pump-action number with a rolling 15 dart drum, the NERF Surgefire is most certainly not for sniper types. A spring-loaded number not requiring batteries gives it essential status amongst your arsenal of foam firers, when all (power) is lost you can rely on pump-power to unleash your darts. Easy to operate with a yank of the front handle and you’ll get a decent distance from a minimal pull – over 20 metres every time. Hold down the trigger and repeatedly pump to deplete tour drum in no time. A most satisfying bit of kit, forget adding to the tactical rail, this one if for close range combat. Reloading isn’t too tricky but a tad time-consuming but most definitely an office essential. £25 at Argos
