ANerf war is an activity involvingNerf Blasters orother foam-blasting toys. Since foam-firing blasters are relatively safe and cheap, Nerf wars can include participants and battlefields otherwise unsuitable forairsoft andpaintball, such as children.
Many wars across the United States are organized and promoted through theforums of enthusiast sites. The members of these forums are collectively known as theNerf Internet Community (NIC).[3]
The NIC holds large annual wars on both theEast coast andWest Coast of theUnited States and certain locations even have bi-annual or monthly wars. All around Australia there are wars as well, and a yearly event calledReign of Foam. Some colleges and youth groups have active clubs and associations that host Nerf wars regularly.[4]
