Gallery: 4 awesome new Nerf dart guns to foam at the mouth over
Hasbro didn't just drop a bomb on us with its new Lightning Storm Super Soaker, it also introduced a whole lineup of new Nerf dart guns. And you know how much we love Nerf guns.

1. Nerf N-Strike Rayven: Semi-automatic, the Rayven can shoot 18 glow-in-the-dark darts from its FireFly Tech clip. The clip actually keeps the darts "charged" up and ready to glow. The Ravyen will sell for $30 this spring. (Photo credit: Raymond Wong/DVICE)

2. Nerf Vortex Lumitron: The Lumitron is also a part of Nerf's "Light It Up" series of blasters. Like the Ravyen, it also has a FireFly clip, but instead of darts, it shoots 10 glow-in-the-dark Vortex discs. It supports a stock too, if you have one from another Nerf gun. The Lumitron will be available this spring for $30. (Photo credit: Raymond Wong/DVICE)

3. Nerf Dart Tag Speedswarm: If you thought last year's 20-dart-shooting Swarmfire was cool, you'll like the Speedswarm. It's smaller, but it's also semi-automatic (6 AA batteries) and can fire 10 darts up to 55 feet. Can anyone say dual-wielding? It'll be available this spring for $20.

The Snapfire isn't battery powered. It uses a special spring mechanism to cock its trigger. (Photo credit: Raymond Wong/DVICE)

4. Nerf Dart Tag Snapfire: This little guy doesn't look as badass as the Speedswarm, but it still shoots a respectable eight darts. It's $15 and available this fall. (Photo credit: Raymond Wong/DVICE)

Speed and power can be adjusted with the little dial on the bottom of the grip. Different tension adjustments will yield different speeds and distances for each shot. (Photo credit: Raymond Wong/DVICE)
