"This really is the best-ever Nerf toy from Hasbro," said Silver. "It's easy to use and so much fun for kids and adults. I have one right next to my desk."

One indication of the toy's popularity: Since Hasbro unveiled the toy this month, searches for "Stampede Blaster" have soared on Google.

The Stampede Blaster, the latest iteration of Hasbro's wildly-popular Nerf blaster gun toys, is the first fully-automatic blaster. It comes with three six-dart clips, a pop-out bipod and a removable shield.

However, Silver says the toy's six "D" batteries could make the blaster a little heavy for younger kids.
