I work for the Internet and own far to many of these stupid things for office warfare. This $10 Nerf gun is the by far THE BEST Nerf gun available. It actually shoots 75ft, it's accurate as fuck, it stings when you get hit, and it is super friendly with generic / homemade ammo.
As for barriers, follow this guide, and buy stuff like the stuff below:

Lastly, you will need enough blasters for at least 3v3.
Decide what you want to supply for that.
The lowest price I know possible is two packs of tri-fires.

Along with some keyrings, because the priming handle on those blasters is difficult.

Actual triads are good at twice that price.

I also find it's really handy to have a ziploc bag with two pieces of ductape on one side, then cut belt loops in the bag. (And supply some rough string for people without belts).
Ebay often has a supply of inexpensive darts to use.

Although depending on your area you may be able to just go to a Goodwill and find a bunch of cheap blasters.
That or use craigslist, letgo, offerup, varagesale to find cheap blasters for sale in your area.

If it's the same we have, then this
I do like Messengers better than Triads for comfort reasons, but Messengers aren't nearly as compact as Triads. And currently, Triads are cheaper than Messengers, and although they are not always like that, I'm presenting a current example.
omg...I play this game too often to NOT have one. Literally looking online right now for a mini one that can fit in the box
Edit: Literally just bought This nerf gun, I'll test it out in 2 days to see how it fits in the box. I would actually make my first box insert ever if I need to to make this work.
That little white one on the left is OP AF. Seriously, if anyone reads this and needs a cheap nerf gun for their kids, that's the one. Three bullet load, a quick pull to charge it..... it has a surprising amount of power. I got two of them for my daughters last Christmas and my brother and I (both 30 plus) had a 3 hour war while my 90 year old grandpa casually dodged bullets on the couch.
We got them a bow this year, and it works surprisingly well... but the quick re-load of that little white gun still trumps all.
Here... I don't work for nerf, but I will plug a solid product.

Pwn.
Are you letting the motors spin up all the way before firing?
Generally the people that can fire their Stryfes very quickly have done modifications to give the blaster a lot more torque, things like motor swaps and voltage mods.. those things don't really belong in a 4 year old's blaster. :P Seconding what /u/foam_data was saying, you should take out that skirt and the unnecessary locks.
If that doesn't sound like something you want to do, you could swap to less complicated blasters- springers like the Roughcut, or Triad would be great for a 4 y/o. There are decent non-Nerf offerings, as well.
Neat contest... Happy belated bday! I need to find more fun cheap items for my WL but this will have to do for now. It's way more fun to give, but I do like a good contest. womb liberation!
alright jeanine, i'm picking up this weapon ASAP. it's time to stop "pussyfooting around" indeed. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009T45X82?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Triad
I would put my vote down for dual wielding Triads: 2x $7, tie a string between the priming handles, congrats you can now fire six darts in less than two seconds, no batteries required and reloads faster than anything mag-fed. It's also a crowd-pleaser--the combo is so simple but always gets the most attention.
