Etsy seller Faustus70 started out with a Nerf Barricade. He turned it into this beauty with slats from an old wooden chair and aluminum sheeting riveted into place by hand. The scope, like the gun, is completely functional at a magnification of x3.

How do you make a Nerf gun fight into something special? Special effects, that’s how! -Thanks, Chris M!

Professor CaT Pardus took a Nerf Maverick revolver and made it all steampunk-y. Despite the heavy modifications, the “Dreameater” remains fully functional for all your Nerf defensive needs.
I really like the little details that Pardus included, particularly the dials on the side and the curled work in the trigger. You can view several more pictures and a video at the link.

Now that’s love. Forget a hot dinner – what you’d want after a long day at work is a Nerf fight! – via The Daily What
Make held a weird gadget contest, and Rick Prescott’s modified Nerf Vulcan EBF-25TM machine gun came in first place. It uses heat sensors to track the movement of warm-bodied intruders and fire at them:
An idea sparked in my mind one day while walking the toy gun isle in a store with my kid and later that evening learning of the workings of a thermopile array while surfing the internet. The result is this infrared seeking sentinel which joins a realistically priced infrared sensor to a realistically operatable Nerf® machine gun to create a slightly less deadly yet still highly deterring automated machine. Personally I have grand plans to deploy the infrared seeking sentinel facing the entrance of my work cubical in order to speed interaction with less desirable visitors.

The first Nerf product debuted forty years ago today. It began as a humble orange ball created by toy developer Reyn Guyer. His team designed several games that could be played with it and marketed it to Milton Bradley. That company turned him down. So Guyer took his product to Parker Brothers, who bought his idea, threw out the game rules, and began selling the ball as a single product. The company named the product “Nerf” after the packing material that off-roaders used to wrap around their roll-bars.
