Using your engineering degree to pwn the neighborhood kids

Jun 20, 2024 2:39 AM

About half the people at my office (mainly techs and engineers) have Nerf guns at their desks for impromptu Nerf wars at work. A few of them got the ones that are motorized and fire soft foam balls. Except they modified them to fire them with significantly more force.

My 9yo has literally asked if they make this.

Nerf Rival (and other foam golf-ball firing models of that line) are not to be trifled with. Their projectiles are a LOT faster than normal Nerf darts and significantly more accurate. I got a pair for my son a few years back and it took our Nerf wars to a new level. 5 stars.

Would be neat to see that thing in action.

I mean what else are you supposed to use your engineering degree for other than modifying and improving childhood weaponry?

I need a 3D-printed version of this.

Why not have it in front of you? It could double as a shield.

The belt wouldn't feed properly into the gun and he's already wearing body armor.

My college did a big humans vs zombies game every year with nerf guns (zombies could throw socks on top of touching). Couldn't play indoors, so not directly very disruptive. Lasted about a week. However, as a TA for the machine shop/design studio, I saw some serious engineering hours go into hot rodding nerf guns.

No match for my chemically propelled, lead filled, steel lined nerf darts.

It costs $400,00 to fire this weapon for 12 seconds.

So like 3 hours of finding ever nerf thing and another hour of reloading it?

This is why the Nerf Rival series with hoppers is soooo much better, a lot quicker to gather the balls up with a nut gatherer and just dump them into the hopper for quick reload.

When you see the nut gatherer next, please tell her to come home. I and her kids miss her.

Adam Savage modified one of those to shoot thousands of little balls, he also had to make a vacuum to pick up all the damn balls afterwards

This is cool but my thought is shouldn't the spool be on your back somehow for maneuverability?

Can anyone point me to a resource for modding NERF guns to be more powerful and/or accurate?

1 year ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

More power burns out the motor faster, but what a ride! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daSmTYi5GjE

More accuracy comes down to the type of darts you buy. It's never going to be as good as you get from a rifled barrel, but you can make things slightly better. https://www.reddit.com/r/Nerf/comments/8pxbgz/how_do_i_increase_accuracy_of_my_flywheel_blasters/

I would have to honestly wonder if that battery could hold enough charge or if those motors would overheat

1 year ago | Likes 26 Dislikes 1

They make mod kits that include motor & battery upgrades. I’ve been looking to upgrade my Motorstryke. Thing is a battery hog.

Maybe in the movies but not in all of Star Wars. Star Wars - the old Republic has some nasty looking weapons

Personally if we are saying gun I think Ezra’s blaster saber combo is the best gun.

Because it doesn’t actually work, would be my guess 🤷

Honest answer: it'd be very underwhelming. That's a single-shot gun made to look like an automatic/motorized one. You have to crank that white handle back after every shot to advance the belt. I have a side gig customizing toy/Nerf/airsoft guns for props, costumes, or festivals, I have four of that same gun in my workshop right now.
