Lookit, I'll be the first to admit there's no wrong answer to this proverbial question. It's an op-ed opportunity, right ???

That being said, it appears some of us have never been in an actual Nerf battle/war. It's important to qualify primary vs. secondary vs. tertiary blasters. So beginneth the lesson:

Your primary should be high capacity, easily reloadable, and tailored to your Nerf war experience. It's the baster you're gonna take out most of your dastardly sworn enemies  opposing players with.

Your secondary comes into play when your primary is out. As in "out-of-ammo". You won't defer to a secondary weapon when your primary is still functional. That doesn't make sense. Popular secondaries can be holstered, slung over your back, or dual wielded. Convenience and portability are key. Secondaries need to be out of your way while you're using your Primary.

Your tertiary (aka Backup) blaster is the weapon of last resort. When your secondary is out of ammo, it's what you defend yourself with in a Kobayashi Maru situation.

Some inexperienced Nerfers believe switching between blasters is a tactical option. Hah ! It doesn't work that way in the heat of battle. You use what you've got in your hands until it doesn't work any more. Then you switch.

Bottom line, pick your blaster portfolio carefully gentlemen. Pick carefully.
