Is the Hammershot worth it?

Yes if you want a compact, battery-free blaster you can fire one-handed. It is a sidearm, not a match-winner against larger blasters.

How does the Hammershot compare to the Strongarm?

The Strongarm is a slide-action blaster with a six-dart cylinder and usually more power. The Hammershot trades that for one-handed hammer priming.

Does it need batteries?

No. It is fully mechanical and runs on the hammer-action priming only.

What darts does it take?

It uses standard small Nerf darts, including the five Zombie Strike darts in the box. Large darts will not fit.

The blaster, five Zombie Strike darts, Zombie Strike stencils and instructions. A holster is not included.

It is a discontinued-style blaster, so prices swing with stock. The best new price was $25.99 at Amazon as of November 3, 2026.

Our take on the NERF Zombie Strike Hammershot

The Zombie Strike Hammershot is a five-dart Nerf blaster with a hammer-action priming mechanism: you fan the hammer with your thumb instead of pulling a slide, so it fires one-handed. It holds five Zombie Strike darts on a rotating cylinder and comes with five darts, a set of stencils and instructions. It needs no batteries. The best new price is $25.99 at Amazon as of November 3, 2026, with two stores listing it new.
