Or maybe a best non-Nerf, or best in class. Or to Mojo's point, a best commercially available blaster (Nerf, knockoff, or otherwise).

Look, I totally get the essence of what JetCell is talking about - that classic bone-stock mainstream retail blaster with no mods. The quintessential Nerf blaster. The one Santa left wrapped in a bow under the Christmas tree. That blaster.

But Nerf has changed. The "quintessential" Nerf blaster ... isn't. Today you can get a bone-stock blaster from a mainstream retailer with absolutely no mods that shoots 160 FPS, such as a Dart Zone MK-1, or soon to be MK-2. Or a 100 FPS bone-stock Desert Pigeon with no mods from a reputable commercial online retailer. Just like Zuru, and many other brands.

It's way more complicated these days. So maybe we need a "best in breed" and "best in show" type of bracket ? Not sure for sure. All I know is the "classic" Nerf blaster is a thing of the past. Like horse shoes, rotary phones, leaded gas, and 3G phones.

I think we need to adapt accordingly.
