with all the serious stuff going on nowadays I thought a lighthearted thread might do us all some good... My son just turned 5 and he’s obsessed with Nerf Blasters. He’s got two now and all his preschool friends have them. They bring them to parties (or at least did pre-pandemic) and have Nerf Wars. My son trolls YouTube all the time looking for Nerf Blaster videos.
I know I’m way late to this party but I didn’t know what a big deal these things are. Hell, the manual of arms for a lot of these things mimics real world weapons. Clip type magazines, drum magazines, charging handles, tactical rails with sights, scopes, full vs semi-auto, it’s been a real eye-opener checking this stuff out.
I got this one for my kid a few days ago and no joke, the darts from this thing really have some punch. I’ve been getting ambushed regularly around the house and I have been the victim of a few head shots including a couple to the face without eye protection which is no fun.
Well, I guess it’s a good opportunity to teach the kid early about muzzle and trigger discipline and gives me a chance to work on my situational awareness, LOL.
Anyone got any good Nerf Blaster stories? I’m afraid to look into modding these things to make them shoot farther or faster because there’s a whole hobbyist subculture out there and I’ve got enough on my plate as it is.
