The Nerf Nite Finder EX-3 is a re-release of the original Nerf Nite Finder, and aside from the new yellow and black paint job that matches the rest of the N-Strike line, the Nite Finder EX-3 is the same fantastic blaster that Nerf warriors have come to know and love.
If you aren’t familiar with previous incarnations of the Nite Finder, it is widely regarded to be one of the most reliable Nerf guns out there, due largely to its simple mechanics and sturdy construction. It’s also one of the easiest Nerf guns to mod, with a simple plunger system and easy-to-work-with materials. As with all guns, some mods are more difficult than others, but removing the air restrictor on the Nite Finder requires nothing more than an exacto knife and some superglue, and it can result in a nice performance increase. An even simpler modification is to wrap rubber bands around the front of the gun, and then loop them through the cocking mechanism.
The Nerf Nite Finder features a ‘laser’ sight (it’s really just a red light) that you can calibrate for aiming in dark lighting. Despite the packaging’s claims that this sight will lead to precision shooting, the laser isn’t really accurate beyond 15 feet, as Nerf darts drop rather quickly. I don’t mean to say that the light isn’t cool — it is. It’s just that it isn’t especially effective. Younger Nerfers especially will probably get a kick out of the laser, but those older than 10 will likely think it’s pretty worthless.
As far as price goes, you aren’t going to a better deal than the Nite Finder. Whereas most Nerf guns cost $20 or more, you can find the Nite Finder for closer to $10.
Out of the box, you can expect the Nite Finder to shoot about 35 feet, which is pretty great for a single-shot spring Nerf gun. The accuracy on the Nerf Nite Finder EX-3 is also exceptional, and the weapon can easily be handled by young and old Nerf warriors alike.

realllllllly cooooooollll guuuuunnnn
This gun is really good when it is modded but other than that you dont really need batterys for the useless laser better that the mavrick beacause at least the night finder do’s not jam or fire blanks
Uhg. This gun stinks. When I got it. It fired only about eighteen feet. It’s laser isn’t accurate and now it doesn’t even fire one foot!!! Don’t get it. It’s a waste of money.
Awesome gun. You can have a more easy gun to mod and it gets pretty cool ranges when you make a good modding job (i get 105 feets with a Petg barrel, some bungies, AR removal and stretched spring.
I actually bought a gun it was the best the laser is acurate and if you buy new darts it goes hell far.
I bought one a couple days ago, and it shoots pretty far without any mods. you should definitely buy one. the laser is only accurate for about 15 ft, but the gun itself could shoot up to 40ft
This gun is awesome it can shoot over 45 foot out of the box and lazer sight is spot on if you ajust it my little bro pwned me with it in a nerf war and i had a ball gun recon and maverick
Please,i just got the gun & can’t manage turning on the lazer.I want to increase the fun!!!
KK, i found dat if u press the trigger at the top, the laser works without firing any shots, but if u press harder it shoots. try pressing the top part of the trigger. it works for me
this gun is horrible dont buy it
I take what I said earler back. I finally got the gunand it rocks! if your thinking about using this gun in a war doit!
this is the most stealth nerf pistol by far….ever!!
I’m gettin’ this gun tommorow, then I’m gonna mod it up to shoot hell far. But can you buy mods for it?
SuperBurn248. The gun doesn’t probably stink because there are more peeps who say its a really good gun. Its like 7 good comments against 2 bad comments
Got the gun today. The good. The darts ar good. Now all I have to do is mod it.
Got the gun today. The good. The darts are good. Now all I have to do is mod it.
Oops typo I meant the gun is good instead of the good
it fires farther than the longshot and costs one sixth of the price.
yeah i modded mine and it easily goes 75ft, out of the box its prity good too
I love this gun. It’s very well balanced. It is a front loader but it shoots really far just with AR removal. I sawed off the laser and it is like a pocket snipe. I used the vulcan darts and this ranges about 40 ft. I hear with a ace #49 spring, it shoots about 80ft.
my birthday will come in june and i need advise. should i get nitefinder or mavrick?
el loco: get the nitefinder, do not bother w/ the maverick. waste of money.
The would have to be the best nerf gun ever and dont think that you sould not buy it because this rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also it rocks
I just got one today but the “laser doesn’t work but i don’t care cause i used one before and the “laser” was a piece of crap if you want an acurate light just use the one from the recon it’s way better
this is just as awesome as the other nite finder on the website, otherwise, PURELY AWESOME
thats right Agent Coyote.
it gets 35 feet!!!!!!!!!!
Im finding jason that you are almost allwas the comment below me
i no you said that befor and one time i got 50 feet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol my freind modded his and i shot myself in the neck and it stung sooo bad and left a mark
This gun is AWFUL!!! Purchased 3 of these guns and each one of them doesn’t even shoot. The dart just falls out. We purchased these guns for Christmas. Today is January 28, 2010.
Absolutely horrible guns! Waste of money…
there only 6 $s
yea, the gun itself isent the greatest but once u mod it it is totally awesome. for lightweight modders u just attach 2 rubber bands leading from the hook on the cocking mechanism to rite ubuve th very small barrel. I can’t expln the other way how u do it, 2 hard. my brother cut off the entire front part where the laser and the darts go to make it look like a real magnum, but it gets horrible range.
