Drool & Disappointment
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Behold, the best looking rifle I have ever seen on the planet. At least that for children.
CLICK ME FOR LONGSHOT VIDEO
Peoples... This is the Nerf Longshot from N-Strike series. I just had the pleasure and privaledge of seeing this little monster in action, along with getting to play with it. And I must say, one of the most aesthetically appealing nerf guns I've ever seen. Of course, I am not a Nerf maniac so I'm not too familiar with past products. On the other hand, a Nerf Sniper Rifle? who can pass up such a tempting offer?
Well, after playing with it for about an hour and trying to analize each spec, crevice and corner, I came to the conclusion that such marvel is not a worthy investment. Sure I enjoy the fact that its an awesome looking nerf gun, and that it can aim-shoot at long range and it's little gadgets and features are amazing (Especially the load indicator), yet a sniper rifle that doesnt have a range that goes from one side of a hall to another is indeed something sad.
Thus what am I going to do about it?
Simple:
Make my own Nerf gun MUHAHAHAHAHA.
Most nerf guns use one of two mechanisms: spring loaded or air pumped. And even for those that are spring loaded, they function by the following:
A compressed spring pushes a compartment to compress, which in itself also contains air. Thus either method, pumped or compressed, they are quite effective, yet are sad in range. How do we fix this part? heavier darts? higher compression? Car springs?
For now, the ninja needs to think a little more...
Apparantly the world has gone far from shuriken and kunai since I last checked.

kumoi, i think you've found a goal for your life. design a better, more lethal nerf gun!!!
HIYAH!!! *POW POW POW*
^.^
actually, maybe you could get more range if it had a longer barrel. y'know, more space to get it straightened out instead of going, like, straight down.
No. wolfie... its pushed by air, and the barrel is not completely air tight, so the longer the barrel, the shorter distance but more accuracy to distance x, and if the barrel is shorter, more distance yet worse accuracy. C'mon dont you know anything about nerf physics? hahahaha
*curls up and cries for a moment*
T-T
*jumps up and grabs kumoi by the collar*
NO, TYVM!!!
