My boys both got little knockoff Nerf pistols for Easter this year from the city egg hunt, and it made me realize just how much I loved Nerf guns when I was younger. The entire neighborhood had enough Nerf guns to form our own foam-powered revolution. I got looking online at the current Nerf models, and wow have things changed. I think I may have to pickup a few for the family, but strictly for target practice =) Course, Daddys make GREAT targets!

I went through my paintball phase, my skydiving phase, and all the other typical phases, but they're all so expensive to do. At least with Nerf tag you're just replacing darts once you wear them out =)

Now to look for some Nerf gun mods ;) Anyone else into this ridiculously uncool, yet fun kid stuff?
 
I am. I own the longshot. You know that thing is made for adults and not for kids. It's almost as big as a 5 year old. Nerf guns are amazingly fun. =D
 
Funny you should mention it, because that's one I was looking at (being a Sniper and all). Is it really as good as their marketing department says it is? Was also going to pickup a couple pairs of Mavericks, they have a GREAT video over at ThinkGeek.com
 
I used to luv nerf guns, I always had wars with my freends.
I never knew they were sold for adults.
 
Maverick=awesome
The longshot is pretty good. The scope that comes with it sucks. It isn't adjusted to take into account that it is above the barrel. You always have to aim about two lines down on the scope for it to work. There are some modifications that you can do on it though that make it amazing. I haven't done any but I've looked at them online and read about the results. Also, nerf recently announced a couple new guns at some convention (including a mounted machine gun called te vulcan). Take a look here:

Edit: The recon CS-6 looks pretty awesome.
 
Wow! There really are no words for that Vulcan... wow.... I imagine it takes a while to reload those ammo belts. It looks more like a sentry gun than a Nerf weapon =) Though I'm not a fan of the required 6 (SIX) D batteries.
 
Airsoft is nerf for tweens and paintball is nerf for adults. Im sure you could buy some lasrerpointers and such for your nerf guns and pimp them out that way. I always loved laser tag of nerf because it was more competitive but still lots of fun.

I've done all that except for Airsoft, the big drawback to paintball for me is the cost combined with the fact that the nearest organized place to play is about an hour and a half away. I was going through a case or two a weekend when I was playing in college, that adds up fast. Didn't notice it then because I didn't have any responsibilities =P

Wha??? I'm 24 and i airsoft every week! Pretty darn good too for the only girl on the team!

Unfortunately, after a neighborhood nerf war ended up in broken windows, my parents used to get me the cheap-o knock-offs :). Half the time the dart never even shot, the other half of the time i kept accidentally getting pinched by the crappy moving parts.

Either way, my brother and i had a blast playing 'Aliens' in the house... we scared our pets half to death shouting lines and making machine gun noises.
