Okay show of hands, how many of you have ever owned a Nerf gun in your life? I mean remember back in the nineties where Nerf guns were clunky inaccurate, generally low tech?

I recall that the first Nerf "gun" I owned was a first model ball launcher, you crammed the ball in there like a flint lock, pulled back pulling air into a tube, and pushed forward "pushing" the ball out of the tube with air pressure.....

In fact this was it....

Now just last year we got the N-strike Vulcan, Which is basically a freaking light machine gun, and has a 25 shot belt fed capacity.... Comparing this thing to what I had when I was 9 would be like comparing a matchlock to a M60.......

And there's talk of some of the guns from the N-strike Video game being made into actual guns next year, yeah like we didn't see that coming..... Hell of a marketing strategy, now if they made that Vulcan from the game into a real product, I would be death destroyer of worlds :D
