I know many of you despise these 'Idea' posts, but I saw something recently that got me wondering if such a thing is possible for Nerf.

Mattel Tommy Burst

A cocking slide with 6 semi-stops with a 6 dart clip?

I'm simply posting this here to get people thinking more about auto spring-powered guns, which is a novel idea.

I know from some of my war videos it seems like all we do is sword fight with a dash of gun play, but that's mostly because during Nerf Gun games there's few if anyone willing to take video, and also because as fun as shooting darts is, it doesn't make for very good editing footage.

Anyhow, here's the war from last summer! It went okay, seeing as we had a low number of players again (the war before this one had 21, in this one we had about 8-9)

I'll post up the Nerf War from this winter later.

Let me know what you think of the wars here or on Youtube! If you live nearby and are interested in coming to play, let me know. The next Nerf War will be January 2011. I'm changing the weapons allowed to Guns and Daggers (1 foot weapons) only. I'll be producing about 15 more simple daggers for renting.

Hey guys, I host Nerf/Sword Wars in Montreal. We usually have the Zombie games when using swords, however this time we decided to try a Zombie game the right way. With headshot kills only.

Zombie rules (and other gametype rules) can be found here

Basic idea is, there are a few players who are Zombies to begin with. They must hold on to other players for 10 seconds combined to turn them into a Zombie. Players can't free themselves, another player must kill or remove the Zombie from them. Shots to the limbs are (supposed) to disable them, but not count towards killing the Zombie. Shot to the head is the only way to put those monsters down.

The video!

It's ridiculously fun to play. Whenever I host a war, pretty much everyone demands we play Zombie at least two or three times.

No one has gotten hurt playing Zombie (indoors or outdoors) despite it being practically like tackle football.

If anyone is interested, I highly recommend considering this game type at your wars! It wouldn't work too well with high-powered guns or hot-glue-tipped stefans though. Of course you could always modify the game to have torso shots kill Zombies.

I found this episode on Youtube about a series on microwaving things. I actually laughed out loud at what happened to the microwave, and I was shocked to find out that it still functioned. I would have thought the metal springs and such inside the gun would have melted/fused/stretched.

Anyways, enjoy:
Microwaving a Nerf Gun

Hi, I'm being asked for a commission for a Gravity Hammer and it's going to be big. It's a foam weapon, 90 inches long, and most likely roughly 10 x 10 inches in width and depth. It will probably weigh around 10 pounds.

The problem is how to ship it from Montreal, Quebec, Canada to New York, USA. I've tried looking at a few sites and the only one that has accepted the dimensions has been UPS. The cheapest shipping was $76 CAD, which is probably more expensive than the cost of the weapon will be.

Anyone have any ideas of what I could ship with at a more reasonable price?
