Nerf Gives Squirt Guns Action Movie Upgrade

[beema]

Magazine. Nowhere in the article did Logan use the word "clip," because it isn't correct. Don't tell me it's not important, because that's incorrect and irrelevant.

Great, so we know you are some kind of firearm-obsessed nutjob now. Can we move on?

If you're wondering why I'm being defensive, it's because I find it incredibly obnoxious when someone focuses on ONE WORD of my entire post to try and make me look like some kind of idiot.

The one issue I have with that is that my old Super Soaker 50 had, thinking back, capacity equal to two or three of those cartridges in its single bottle. I suppose, if you, as has been observed, put together a bandolier of, like, five of them, it's not too bad, though.

(sounds like something to do with your waterguns...)

DO WANT.

I love the idea, but I miss the old Super Soaker 3500s or whatever, the one that held like a gallon of water... Those shits were insane... I had the smallest model, and we used to run around for like ten or fifteen minutes before we needed a refill... I wonder how one of these will compare... Off to Wal-Mart to find out... God I love being an adult... Never could have pulled this off as a kid.

I already have, but I am more than willing to reply to fan mail. I meant no offense in my post. If you took offense, that says more about you than it does about me.

Either say something correctly, or don't say it at all. Wouldn't you be upset if a news anchor reported that a CD drive was the same as a game case? Wouldn't you find it weird if someone told you that the basket that bananas come in was the same as a banana skin? The devil is in the details, my friend.

... although that's probably overkill.

There is no such thing as overkill.

...sorry, had to say it.

1. I'm not a news anchor, nor any other form of authority figure or media outlet. I'm just a guy posting on an internet forum. Therefore the importance of me getting tiny details correct is exponentially less significant.

2. If I did see a news anchor mess something like that up, I would not be so incredibly petty as to write them a letter of complaint that passive-aggressively demeans them.

3. I'm not your friend.

and now to actually add to the thread discussion, here's the picture of my watergun with the _magazine_ water reservoir out that I promised:

You might not be able to make it out, but that's actually the Beretta logo on the grip as well. Apparently copyright laws didn't exist in the 80's either (I suppose it could have been licensed by Beretta).

Nerf really knows how to wet my apatite for carnage

Wow, just wow. This was a pretty good pun to start with. This is made all the more funnier for the various spelling mistakes.

I've seen these in stores for a bit now, they look awesome, thank Christ we can finally move away from having safety orange and yellow (so that we don't get gunned down by fucking incompetent police officers) the blues and whites are still kinda goofy but its a step in the right direction.
I too love the new direction Nerf is heading with all of its wares, especially the foam weapons I remember when they were just crappy bits of foam around a plastic stick now there more hardened rubber and can dish out a decent beating and not fall apart

 

[pejhmon]

This isn't anything new. I had these in the 80's to play with.

edit: I should note though, that doesn't change the cool factor of the new nerf gun =P

O_O
Even though this gun is cool, especially since the last thing like this to come out was this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDm0g2qMopk&NR=1&feature=fvwp (it'll all come down to firepower to decide which is best, and what i linked didnt have much of it), but fuck that .... I WANT AN RPG WATER GUN ROCKET

Yes, I really can't wait to dive right in.

Well water we waiting for?

 

[KaiRai]

So does this spell the end of the foam projectile era? Especially if Nerf is making it?

That's like Kodak switching to only digital cameras.

Nope, Nerf is still producing crazy foam dart guns.

Yup. For a total of £45 me and a friend picked up 2 nerf guns, one with a 35 round drum magazine and one with 3 7 round clips, and an extra pack of 30ish darts each.

Absolutely amazing fun!

 

[Treaos Serrare]

I managed to Buy a nerf Vulcan( the tripod mounted battery powered belt fed beast of a nerf, well gun dosent suit this, Artillery piece better suits this weapon; anyway i got one for 2 american dollars at a goodwill fully functional and with batteries, i paid almost $50 for the first one i got that had an extra belt and fifty darts

 

[Owyn_Merrilin]

Wait... how would you actually distinguish "fully automatic fire" on a squirt gun from normal firing? It's not like you're shooting discrete objects, they fire a stream of water - sure, mechanically I suppose one could draw a parallel, but suggesting a squirt gun is "fully automatic" sounds every bit as strange as suggesting my garden hose is a fully automatic weapon of watery doom.

Basically I don't think automatic really works well in the context of water.

Sadly, they stopped selling Super Soakers that could be pumped up and pressurized several years ago. Nowadays, the trigger is for show, and the pump directly forces the water out, instead of pressurizing it for later. I never once heard of one of those things exploding from being overpressurized, so I have no idea why they stopped with it.

Also, I can't find a picture, but does anybody else remember those cheap no-name brand water guns that came with a set of straps that you attached a 2-liter bottle to, wearing it as a backpack and using it as a huge water reservoir? They were sold at Walmart in the early 90s, and I can't find a picture anywhere on the internet. Anyway, those things were awesome, and need to make a comeback. They held more water than just about anything else I've ever seen.

 

[Steve the Pocket]

Huh. When did Nerf buy out Laramie?

 

[AwesomeTheDog]

has somebody paid for this thread?

 

[Dastardly]

Does anyone know the distance on these guns? I can't wait to pick one up, but I have to wonder what the pressure is like.

The clips are convenient

and the clip is where you put the water in.

Magazine. Nowhere in the article did Logan use the word "clip," because it isn't correct. Don't tell me it's not important, because that's incorrect and irrelevant.

1. They shoot between 15-20 feet. The self-pumped ones do better, but the Thunderstrike (pictured above) is automatic. Kind of weak in terms of pressure.

2. Clip is a short word than magazine, and I feel "mag" sounds pretentious. Furthermore, it has a belt clip that allows it to clip to the belt. Even more, it's a toy water blaster, not a "gun." It hardly matters in this case.

 

[The Random One]

Next thing they'll come up with will be a M4A1 style assault water rifle with underbarrel .50 water-filled balloon shells.

Urine is banned by the Geneva convention, naturally.

But people do refer to them as clips, and it is still correct, unless you are a military drill instructor. My best friend calls Flour Tortillas "Soft Shells." She isn't wrong, she just uses different terms.

That said:

Notice the magazine has a clip to hold it on a belt or bandoleer. If I get ten of these or so, I could be the Arnold Schwarzenegger of the neighborhood... Plus I am going to mount a scope on it since there is a rail for that as well.

The Stock can be taken off or left on like any good Carbine, making it's hiding under a trench coat *Cough* *Cough* easier, or just lighter to carry...

The box shows that there is a Shotgun (Which Emperor Inferno will like), a submachine gun, and a SAW style cannon.
