Hasbro seems to have created Nerf Rebelle in order to target young female fans of the new movies Brave and The Hunger Games, both of which star female archers who “rebel” from the female norm.

2013 In February 2013, Hasbro announced the release of its "Rebelle" line, a sub-line aimed at girls, with its first products released in fall of 2013.

The first Nerf blaster was made in 1989, nineteen years after the creation of the Nerf Ball. The Blast-a-Ball fired balls by pumping the carrying handle forwards. Nerf packaged two of these blasters together, knowing that their products sold well as a form of game or sport.

The Rebelle series was announced at the 2013 Toy Fair. In 2014, Super Soakers were added to the series. The series dwindled down into an unofficial discontinuation in 2018.

The foam darts are extremely easy to load quickly - you simply stick them directly into the rotating chamber - and while it didn't have perfect aim, players hit the intended target more often than not. Another reason for the Nerf Elite 2.0 Commander's high marks is that it is easy to shoot.

Nerf gun is a toy gun made by Hasbro that fires foam darts, discs, or foam balls. The term “nerf gun” is also popular as nerf blaster.

Chris Byrne, content director of consumer toy website TTPM, said the new Nerf Rebelle line combines classic Nerf play with features that are relevant to how some girls play. Byrne said Nerf Rebelle's latest line is a reflection of today's girls: “active, competitive, fashion conscious and above all socially connected.”
