Yeah, it comes from debuffs, which was applied to early FPS games when a gun was debuffed, which made the bullets hit less like bullets and more like nerf darts.
This gun used to take a guy out in 2 body shots and now its 5, like I'm shooting with a nerf gun!
Then the term spread around to non FPS games.
