NERF Guns/Age limit

[Deathmageddon]

Screw those judgmental morons... they don't know what they're missing.

btw I'm 19 and I have a small arsenal... now if only I had friends who didn't go to college out of state...

You are never to old for Nerf guns, hell there's a college out there that has a Nerf gun Zombie invasion every year. I think, I know there is one but I can't remember the name or if it is a yearly thing. Point is no, there is no age limit, if people give you weird looks, give them weirder ones.

Or better yet, shoot them.

The biggest problem is that Wal-Mart, the cheapest place to buy NERF here, charge 3 times too much for the extra ammo, it seems to me.

Damn those PC fun-killing bastards!

I'll buy my Nerf Guns, Lego and other toys and i will damn well enjoy them!

 

[Phisi]

Don't worry, when you look old enough to have kids then you can buy whateer the hell you want without any social stigma.

So, today me and some friends from class went and bought some NERF guns for a trip and just to have fun with. But when we were choosing a gun, everyone looked at us as if we were mad (literally every person who saw us). We are well over the age of buying toys, but none of us minds it because these things are amazing.

So what's with this "age limit"? To me it seems a bit silly to be deemed too old for these things, but it seems to be a common attitude among people.

Also: Hello escapist! ^^

There is no such thing as an age limit on fun. A couple of my friends for Christmas bought themselves new Nerf guns to shoot at each other around their apartment, even bought 50 extra darts with velcro that sticks to many surfaces. During their Superbowl party we all spent the better part shooting at each other across the rooms, down hallways, at our female friends boobs, etc. And we are all around 24-25 years of age.

Ah, the Maverick. Best Nerf revolver ever.

Accept no substitutes.

OT: Screw the age limit, I will have nerf darts and some weapon stockpiles with me until I'm too old to lift the gun or pull the trigger.

*nerfs everyone*

 

[Darth_Dude]

I always hated trying to find the bullets after a game...

 

[Westaway]

Well, I don't really think there is an age to stop, but there is an age where it would be better to upgrade to airsoft
It's way more accurate/longer range. It's just more fun.

My Brother got this. Needless to say, I've got more days with that thing than he does.

A few months back, seeing as how I'm in college and he's in High School, I raided his room to try and find every dart that I could, got every pillow in the house and built up a sand bag to hang it on. I got an old helmet and basically made camp in front of the door.

And when he got home, I unleashed hell.

 

[Adultism]

Now i need to go buy a nerf gun, thanks a lot guys :<

 

[Miles000]

I'm 21, and have about 20 nerf guns...
My brother's and I combined have around 50...
Between my mates ( some of who are older than me) and I, we would have a collection of over 100. We have almost every gun released, from about 3-4 different brands.

Almost all of them modded and painted.
Some with actual scopes, sights and lasers attached...

There is no age limit!

 

[Hiname]

Firstly, there is no age limit for nerf.

Secondly, boy, time to play with the grown up toys.

 

[karcentric]

NERF guns a brilliant, they don't hurt unless it hits you in the eye. It's like Airsoft but safer.

My mate has tons of them, though he paints over the bright colour scheme, with more realistic colour schemes. And he's 22.

 

[Nieroshai]

They have obviously never seen an all-out modded nerf gun war. At my own school, we had a club where we would have team matches weekly. It was almost our school sport. We would modify the guns to maximize range and accuracy, and even some crazier mods like crafting a triple barrel for spread shots.

 

[TheNaut131]

Honestly, now that I think about it, I could use a few NERF guns around the house.

In fact, this bad boy has been on my mind for awhile.

Oh Glob, yes!

OT: Yeah, as already said in this thread, fuck those guys. These are the same people who go on and on about what being an adult is, what it means, what you should watch, what you should eat, where you should go, etc, etc, etc. Fuck em, you're an adult, you go to work, you make your own hard earned cash, do whatever the hell you want with your money and free time. If it isn't hurting anyone, isn't illegal, and isn't truly stupid, then why should it bother anyone? You're an adult, do whatever the fuck you want when you can!

I think xkcd said it quite nicely.

Spoiler

Man, even with the supposed piss, poop, sweat and other nasties these things were supposedly home to, I would still jump in at a moments notice, if given the option

You're NEVER too old to nerf. My friends and I play an adapted version of King of the Hill in the lounge of our college dorm. Some nights, we go for 3-4 hours. I use this bad boy:

And I rarely ever lose!

 

[BaronUberstein]

Nerf guns, as far as I am concerned, are even more fun than real guns at the range because you can shoot them at people. Sadly, zombie wars cannot happen at my college because anything that can be called a 'weapon' is banned...

And while I've only used a few of my friend's, I assume they're cheaper than paintballing which is usually 50-70 bucks a go around here. >_<

 

[Chanel Tompkins]

Well ya. Play with paintball guns ya pansies. Just kidding...nerf guns are less annoying any way.

 

[Giftfromme]

You need the 10 dart machine gun and the sniper rifle. Those are epic.

 

[renegade7]

Well I'm only 18 but I have a pretty large (and forever growing) Nerf gun collection. It's like all the fun of shooting your friends with none of the hassle of being a suspect in a murder investigation.
