@ZunaLegend: As far as "realistic" Nerf goes, GDop26 probably has the most realistic line of blasters when it comes to form and function. (Thanks for the reminder FLAT ! )

Some of them aren't necessarily outstanding performers, but they're functionally accurate when compared to their real-steel equivalents. I think the Hummingbird and the Blow-Back Pistol are roughly equivalent to some super-stock blasters (between 100 and 150 FPS).

So there's clearly a trade off between realism and performance. There are a lot of blasters that perform way better for $350+. But if you're looking for genuine realism, go for the Spring Thunder. It's as close to a genuine real-steel pump-action shotgun as you'll find anywhere in Nerfdom.
