We hung peg board on a wall in a storage closet, put hooks on the pegs and the kids just Hang them on the hooks.
Bullets are in bins next to peg board.
Best way to store different size Nerf guns.
I want to keep them all (great for play dates).
How best can I store the different bullets? Tupperware containers? They don't
seem big enough. Zippered net mesh laundry container?
Help. TIA. :)

We never stored the bullets separately. I can't picture my kids putting those away in bags somehow. I was lucky they ended up in the bins.
We have those huge bins - I guess they are those rubbermaid (?) am I thinking of the right name? huge bins - like storage ones. We have a whole whack of those in our garage and in our outdoor shed.
Our kids would put their Nerf guns (we have oodles) in there, with the bullets. It didn't take long for the kids to separate out the guns and bullets.
Often times the bullets would end up in an old backpack too - and the kids would run off in the woods with the guns and the bullets on the back in the backpack. So if you have some old backpacks, those might work too. Kids like to pretend they are at war so that was handy.
We kept the nerf guns in a big bucket with the balls, frisbees, paddles, etc. The darts were just tossed in there with everything else, putting them in baggies seems like more work than it's worth.
Large mesh laundry bags work well.
I have a big bin that all weapons get dumped into. They have to dig for bullets in the same bin.
I used a shoebox (the kind with the flip-top) and put all of the darts, no matter the size, in the box and kept it on a shelf near the nerf guns.
Don't over think it. Just try using something you already have - an old shoebox, a container you no longer use, a mesh bag that can hang on a hook. If it doesn't work, try something else. If it works but it's less than ideal, you'll have a better idea of something that will work. But seriously, don't spend money trying to find the perfect thing. You really probably have something already that will work.
get a bin, tote, even new trashcan to use as a container and toss all guns in. Bullets? Idk, baggies, those mesh bags sounds like a good idea, then toss in tote thing with guns.
Or you could go all out and get a gun cabinet and store everything in there! lol
We have an enormous Rubbermaid bin (25 gal?) for the guns and a clear tub with a lid (12-15 qt?) for the darts.
I don’t know if you use Pinterest, but it’s worth checking out. There are SO MANY ideas on how to organize toys and other items. I’ve used it myself for organization ideas for a variety of things from garage organization to kitchen organization.
We always just put the guns and bullets in a rubber made container. They stuck out but they were all together. I think they may have had a smaller bag or container of some sort for the bullets.
