Was looking at something to shoot the kids with and saw this crossbolt blaster for only £12.99 at Argos.
Had a £10 voucher so only cost me £2.99, but would happily pay the £12.99 as it's a decent blaster and easy for younger children to use as it is easy to pull back.
Edit: This thing has some good range and accuracy, the kids ran away and the wife has been getting rather pee'd off as I can't put it down and keep shooting everything

May I suggest that anyone who purchases these pay Fast Track, I reserved the Nerf gun from Friday's Argos Nerf Gun deal then went to collect it and the price had gone back up to normal price £29.99 which they wouldn't honour..

that's against there own terms:
4.3b) If you reserve a product and the price changes (due to normal fluctuations e.g. goods going into or coming out of promotion) before you collect the item, you may request to pay the lowest of i) the price on reservation or ii) the prevailing price in store at the time of collection. This will also apply if your reservation is extended but not if the reservation collection window has expired.

Yeah trust me had a good old argument with Argos customer services but to no avail

I've got a few and I think this will make a nice addition to my arsenal
Depends really, they're pretty different- this one comes with more darts and has a 12 shot magazine, the one you linked is a little more powerful but not by much, and comes with only 4 darts

Not sure if it will help but there are these replica type Nerf guns in B&M stores. There's one that is very similar to this one for £3 and I bought that a while ago for my nephew and it is still going strong. Very good build quality and similar power but limited to a magazine of six foam darts at a time. The darts are a bit rubbish too but the official Nerf darts fit so not a problem.

No argos does honour the price as at reservation just tell them the price you reserved at. They will check past offers and discount it I did a few times if not ask for manager

Hyperfires are also half price, so one of those and one of these qualifies for the 24 free darts..... shame everywhere near me is out of stock for delivery and collection!!!!!

Another option, for those wanting to easily shoot their children, is to be American.
