ANerf war is an activity involving Nerf Blastersorother foam-blasting toys. Since foam-firing blasters are relatively safe and cheap, Nerf wars can include participants and battlefields otherwise unsuitable for airsoft and paintball, such as children.
A Nerf war is usually played by young children with connection to schooling.[1][better source needed] The activity is used for entertainment.[2]
Many wars across the United States are organized and promoted through the forums of enthusiast sites. The members of these forums are collectively known as the Nerf Internet Community (NIC).[3]
The NIC holds large annual wars on both the East coast and West Coast of the United States and certain locations even have bi-annual or monthly wars. All around Australia there are wars as well, and a yearly event called Reign of Foam. Some colleges and youth groups have active clubs and associations that host Nerf wars regularly.[4]
