Here at the office we have fairly regular Nerf battles, in which everyone would grab their gun, and a handful of darts and start trying to shoot each other while hiding behind our monitors.
For a long time, I haven’t had a nerf gun, so I’ve just been hand throwing the darts. Though, I’ve gotten pretty good at it, I wanted something better. Naturally, this involved a trip to home depot.
A few hours later, I had a custom made, high power Nerf Dart gun. Here’s the pictures.
As you can guess by the bicycle tire pump next to it, it’s powered by compressed air. The steel cylinder at the rear holds the compressed air, it goes through the valve with the red trigger, out to the copper tubing that fits inside the shaft of the Nerf Dart.
Generally I can get about eight good shots out of my gun before it needs to be pumped up again. The shot quality varies quite a bit within those eight though. The first two or three are really really powerful, shooting extremely fast, and flying with minimal altitude drop. With the rest, the power drops off, and they begin to drop more as they fly.
