I like using nerf guns because you can use them anywhere unlike airsoft guns (which are also fun). But I don't get the commercials for them. Hasbro tries to make them look really hardcore, but really just looks stupid.
So what are your thoughts on nerf guns. also if you can post some pictures of cool nerf mods or designs.
I haven't played with them in the longest time. I guess I understand the commercials though. Have you seen a modern Nerf nowadays? They're HUGE! (a couple of my friends took to running around the school campus and shooting each other after finals last year)
My mom would never buy me them when I was young. She was scared of the whole video game violence thing. Which confused me, cause its not like Mario was Strapping heat
No, Simunition isnt going to kill you but its as close as possible. Of course only Law Enforcment and the Military are allowed to use it.
But also theirs Paintball and Airsoft.
The thing about nerf guns is you have to be like 2 feet away for you to acually hit your target. I have that sniper from like 2 years ago and it can't hit shit at over 5 meters, when i put it into rifle mode it works better too. Stupid thing.
I might be a bit older than some of my dear compatriots on the board, so I have a long standing love and knowledge of nerf.
First, "nerf" has acquired the lovely new meaning of "degrading the attributes of something." Appropriate given that a 'nerf' gun is the heavily downgraded version of a 'real' gun.
Thereafter, nerf has a glorious "pewpew" gun theory where everything needs to look like it might alternatively shoot lasers. That aside, I was still playing with nerf when they made their first attempts at making the guns fully automatic. They worked as advertised for about the first 5 uses then rapidly trailed off.
I would be excited to see what they do in the future.
When we have nerf "mecha suits," that will be a glorious day!
((*remembers back when his nerf gun contained 3 yellow foam balls, and a pull bar that spun a wheel to launch your ammunition*))
My employees still keep nerf guns in their desks. I myself have a few. "Wars" frequently erupt around here. Usually started by the techs. I don't have an employee under 22.

You must have some crappy nerf guns. I got some silly little rotating drum pistol one that can hit people from about 20ft away. It really starts to drop after that, but the dart still flies straight.

Hmmm, well I've never been a big fan of NERF guns to be honest. I figure that if your going to bother to carry about a fake gun that shoots projectiles and your not a kid involved in some form of "dodgeball" you might as well get a paintball gun.
Also to be honest the only way I could see myself "shooting" someone in a college Campus (I was in community college however) would be if I was involved in one of those 80s-esque "assination games" that briefly got popularized due to a couple of movies, and then lead to RL incidents, and then pretty much banned.
I mean I'm all for nerds with faux guns, but to me straight paintball, or something competitive, is a more acceptable form of nerdy than 20 somethings running around shooting nerfballs.
Okay I am not going to lie but that mini-gun is about as cool as it gets. Plus that sniper seems pretty awesome. Hell all I know is if I were a kid and my parents got one of them damn things for me I would feel awesome.
