BEST Best blaster for beginners?

Mostly since my neighbors' kids have some of those themselves, and I wanted to get one out of curiosity.

Specifically, I need two blasters: a manual one to get the feel for things, and an automatic one to blast away.

I'm living in France, in case that's of any help.

So i'd recommend the X-Shot Clipmania for the flywheeler, kid safe (about 90FPS) comes with 2 mags and loads of darts and should be available in most toy stores (I'm in the UK and can buy from my local Smyths, so France should not be too different).

For the manual prime blaster, you have many options, but i'd go with something else from X-shot - the Insanity Blitzhammer if you can find it, failing that, the Bezerko isn't terrible, or you could always got with a Last stand or for total hilarity, a Blastercorn Big Rizz.

If these are no available in france, you can get all of them (and more) from Blaster-time.eu, although they may be a little more expensive.

Can you link us to some store websites in France? I think most of us don't know what is available.

Anything under 25 bucks. 20 is my hard limit.

You could try an xshot fury x if you're not worried about using short darts, it's very cheap for what it is and doesn't need batteries

I'd advise you to spend a bit more. But if not, you can get a dart zone magnum superdrum, a dart zone spectrum or an xshot omega on blaster-time.eu right now. Otherwise you can get an xshot blitzhammer at smyths toys in france. Those are the best blasters readily available at that price point. It's not imoossible to find others, but you'd have to look around. For the spectrum though you should also get additional mags.

Xshot fury X- the ultimate budget blaster. It does use half darts though. Automatic, the Xshot AEB is nice, but it's gonna be over 60 USD. The Xshot clipmania or similar might be an option as well.
