Since foam-firing blasters are relatively safe and cheap, Nerf wars can include participants and battlefields otherwise unsuitable for airsoft and paintball, such as children.
A Nerf war is usually played by young children with connection to schooling.

All around Australia there are wars as well, and a yearly event called Reign of Foam.
Some colleges and youth groups have active clubs and associations that host Nerf wars regularly.
