#NERF MOD INTEGRATION GUIDE MODS#

In 1969, Reyn Guyer, a Minnesota-based games inventor, came to the company with a volleyball game that was safe for indoor play, and after studying it carefully, Parker Brothers decided to eliminate everything but the foam ball. Parker Brothers originally developed Nerf, beginning with a four-inch (102 mm) polyurethane foam ball. It is this gas that creates open pockets within the polyurethane that, in turn, make the material soft and light. To produce it, polyester resin reacts with another compound in the presence of CO2 from another reaction. Nerf foam is made from a solid, spongy cellular material. The slogan frequently used from the 1990s advertising until now is РІР‚СљItРІР‚в„ўs Nerf or nothinРІР‚в„ў!РІР‚Сњ. Since many such items were released throughout the 1970s, Nerf products often feature bright neon colors and soft textures similar to the flagship Nerf ball. The most notable of the toys are the dart guns (referred to by Hasbro as РІР‚СљblastersРІР‚Сњ) that shoot ammunition made from Nerf foam. Most of the toys are a variety of foam-based weaponry, but there are also several different types of Nerf toys, such as balls for sports like football, basketball, and others. Nerf (trademarked in capitals as NERF) is a toy brand created by Parker Brothers and currently owned by Hasbro. Lets take a look at the history behind the company that churned out these classic childhood memory creators! Whether you had a foam ball as a kid, or a dart gun, or knew someone who had these things РІР‚вЂњ you probably were touched by a nerf product or two (maybe not so gently, in the head haha) in your lifetime. Nerf has definitely come a long way since the early days of 1969 (when they first came out) РІР‚вЂњ and even since my childhood years in the 90РІР‚в„ўs! Not only have the guns gotten cooler looking but they are just a lot higher quality all around these days, which definitely helped the DIY movement grab a hold of them! Lets take a step back and examine the history of these awesome toys we have all grown to love (especially around the office! haha).

But those days are not over it seems, Rejoice! For these plastic masterpieces are more popular in the past few years than ever with the help of DIY geeks around the internet modding and posting their own brilliant hacked versions of the guns РІР‚вЂњ showing off everything from LED lights to larger dart carrying capacities to even farther shooting ranges! Custom foam dart blasters really have taken on a community of their own of people doing diy hacks and mods to the guns and toys for fun (or for profit! You can actually buy a lot of these on sites like ebay, or contact individual artisans for custom jobs!). Many an hour was spent playing nerf war with friends in the backyard (and cleaning up all those little foam darts we left behind). This is the perfect weapon for the Grenadier class.As I look back on my fond childhood memories, easily one of the best were being outside (or inside) playing with toy guns, squirt guns, nerf guns, rubber band guns, fake laser guns that made noise, whatever kind of gun, I loved them. While this mod isn't as complex or revolutionary as the SMG, it's still an epic build with an incredibly awesome final result. This has to be my second favorite mod of all time, with the first being the Stampede SMG pioneered by SG Nerf.

The original post I first studied for this project was this NerfHaven thread. Kudos to Soscud007 for this freaking awesome design. There may be a bunch of these things out there now, but it takes a visionary to pioneer the first prototype. As far as I know, he engineered the original Stryfe/Roughcut Masterkey. With this in mind, first and foremost, credit must go to Solscud007 (as he is known on NERFHaven) for the inspiration on this awesome mod. I've come up with the Dart Tag Permanent Clip Conversion ( Dart Tag to Elite Clip Mod) The Stampede SOPMOD and a few minor mods, such as the Maverick Trigger spring and Maverick nozzle spring and some unique and complex wood grip integrations - but for the most part I simply improve upon and refine existing mods. I'll be the first to admit, I don't come up with very many original mods.
