...but this one is inherently more evil and dangerous because it looks scary.

(2,927 posts)... come to a "common-sense" ban on Nerf Assault weapons just as soon as we've analyzed the cyclical rates, muzzle velocities, and magazine capacities .
After all -- does anyone really NEED more an 10-round capacity on a Nerf weapon?

(17,671 posts)and his 10 year old daughter and her friend were playing in the yard. We live in a very liberal community and my friend is a dyed in the wool card carrying fourteen carat gold started a commune in the sixties Buddhist hippie. A more anti weapon milieu there does not exist on the planet. But we looked outside and the girls had found a couple of sticks and were sword fighting with them.
We're much more like chimps than bonobos.

(2,631 posts)can clear a stair well with their Nerfs. It's always fun to watch them with their buddies when they decide on a cold winter's day to play Nerf in the house. The screaming usually starts when the kid at the top of the stair well learns what suppressive fire is all about. You just have to make it to the top before the big shooter with the drum magazine runs dry. If we had a Nerf Grenade we could do it much more efficiently.
