I got another interesting little find for you. This one piqued my curiousity.

Here's the guy who brought you the Atom Blaster. Yeah, I know that sucks, but in the design process he came up with some concepts and prototypes for stomp-mines.

His blog also gives you an insight into how they come up with some things, with sketches beyond both the gun and the mine. Those mine prototypes certainly give me grenade ideas.

Heres another interesting tidbit. Nerf designer Amanda Bligh

Couple of things.

1) I don't know anything about that first guy.
2) I met Amanda a couple of years ago. She has since moved on from Hasbro, but the other guys in the video are still there to the best of my knowledge.

Wonder if I could find an email address for the guy to see if I could get one of those hand poppers...

Just buy an atom blaster. Take it apart and you have the popper.
I'm tempted to ask you more questions, OMC, but I realize you've probably told us everything you can about stuff in development.

That just inspired me to add to my Iron Man themed nerf projects. Hand held Repulsors!

Just remember that I hear this thing gets about a 10-15 ft range.

And that's why I love this thing. A cheap and quick shot! And as an added perk-

A very embarrassing weapon to be shot with.

I got to briefly meet this guy while I was touring MIT (I got wait-listed in the end though -.-). I really liked him, and most of the professors there.
