The Nerf Rocket Air Launcher: have you heard of it? Probably not. This gun is one of the rarest, most obscure and overlooked nerf guns ever created. Stock , the gun launches foam rockets over 60 feet. I wanted more. This revolutionary modification gets over 120’ flat, with the simplest trigger system I’ve ever seen. The writeup follow’s rawray7’s foundational crossbow writeup in that it is in stages.

Materials Needed:
Nerf Rocket Air Launcher
Hacksaw
Electrical Tape
1 foot (1’) of PETG tubing
Bundles of love

Stage One

The gun is totally stock. It can only fire the stock rockets and stock nerf mega darts. The gun was originally meant to be fired by placing it on the ground and stomping on it. However, after several weeks of testing, I have discovered that one can also fire it by holding it in midair and squeezing it in their hand, with only a small range sacrifice. This “squeezy” firing mechanism fires a burst of air out relatively quickly, so I decided to treat the gun as an air gun.


Stage Two

Air restrictor removal. As shown in this “Fig. A”, the stock barrel of the blaster has a lip over it which restricts full airflow from being achieved.

Cutting off the barrel widens the hole and still allows the nerfer to fire the stock missiles from the blaster.


Stage Three

Addition of a barrel. Wrap the stock barrel peg in e-tape, then jam a 12” piece of PETG onto the stub.

Now, one can hold the gun upside-down to fire and steady the barrel with their free hand.

All ranges are flat*.

Ranges:

110’
130’
115’
120’
105
140’
100’ (Bad Stefan)

Average: 117’

Ranges: (banded)

110’
130’
115’
120’
105’
140’
100’

Average: 117’


Finally, the video:

Wow, is it really that rare?!? I have never seen this before. Nice mod. Really, nice work! And, why did you rickroll us? Some guy got banned for that on this forums. Better watch out.

I blame insufficient praising of his name. If you don't cross yourself and point to the sky after every minor achievment how is a higher power supposed to know that you are pleased with his mad sacred game?-VACC

Dammit, you got me. It all looked legit until I reread the ranges and saw "banded."

I personaly would have left it the way it was because of the rarity of this toy. But since you arn't a collector, I guess it doesnt really matter.

Does this remind any of you of that SNL skit from forever ago "Nerf Crotch Bats!"

I own three of them. This one was leaky and sucked, so I figured, what the hell?

It's when you give a fake link to Rick Astley's 1980s hit, Never Gonna Give You Up.
For example, you expected to see a video of this, but you saw the Astely video instead.

On Topic- How do band a stomp gun like that?

You put a rubberband on it. If you look carefully, the ranges are exactly the same. It's part of the rickroll.

You guys are all nubs, I found one of these at goodwill the other day and taped the stomp pad to the barrel of the titan. The titan's air blast compresses the stomp pad, and a stefan gets launched out of the ten foot brass barrel I have glued onto the front. When I test fired it shot through my wall and I lost the stefan, sniff.
