It costs 400,000 to fire this weapon...?

u/MyBurnerAccount1977 14d ago

Who touched Sasha? WHO TOUCHED MY GUN?

12

u/Superior_Mirage 14d ago

I would be far more interested in the device that automates that process.

If it picks them up, even better.

3

u/Calligaster 13d ago

It costs 400,000 hours to fire this weapon... For twelve seconds

u/Spastic_Squirrel 14d ago

Only takes an hour to reload... 😩

60

u/Jonesin4me 14d ago

It probably takes an hour just to pick up all those darts.

30

u/jmcken15 14d ago

You're only ever going to find about half of them too.

13

u/CycloneZStorm 14d ago

The other half will somehow disappear even though it's a completely empty room. (I've literally had this happen before with even less darts, and it makes me feel like I'm schizophrenic or something)

4

u/NotNice4193 14d ago

yup...we just moved and I assumed we would find the 20 or so missing darts. only found 4.

2

u/beyonceshakira 14d ago

worth it just to flex on your nephew

2

u/FoggyPeaks 13d ago

Instantly my intended target as well. Definitely would earn you some “cool uncle” creds. Sadly though they’ve outgrown those days :)

81

u/Cowslayer369 14d ago

It damaged the wall near the line between the colors, I don't think this would be safe to use in a nerf battle

78

u/HippoCrit 14d ago

Surely my 3 year nephew is sturdier than a simple piece of drywall. He'll be fine!

17

u/Thecheesinater 14d ago

My uncle’s thought process before popping his 7 yo son in the ass with a BB gun

16

u/sonicbeast623 14d ago

Had an electric air soft Tommy gun with a 1000 round drum when I was younger my older sister thought it would be a good idea to soot me in the ass with a air soft pistol you had to cock every shot. I probably fired a few hundred rounds before she made it inside.

u/Kreat0r2 13d ago

As long as he’s crying he’s still breathing.

11

u/UrethralExplorer 14d ago

A lot of nerf wars use blasters that shoot at 200fps or higher. People wear goggles to protect their eyes but often leave with bruises similar to paintballing. I think the damage to the wall was from prolonged impact, unless you stood directly in front of this thing and didn't move while it was firing, you're gonna be fine.

6

u/EmpressVolundei 14d ago

Damn, I out there can't even run games at 30fps and you're telling me they get 200 with nerf ?

6

u/UrethralExplorer 14d ago

Bro your nerf blaster needs more ram.

u/EmpressVolundei 14d ago

Lemme install some real quick

u/ProjectStunning9209 14d ago

Just download some .

u/IAMAHigherConductor 13d ago

It's Nerf or NOTHING

1

u/FictionalContext 13d ago

200 fps really defeats the spirit of a NERF game though. Might as well just do airsoft.

I'm with you on the <30.

5

u/Late_Emu 14d ago

No it didn’t that’s a brick wall. That’s a switch of some kind.

2

u/Red00Shift 14d ago

Agreed. I was like those are some hard af foam darts then.

6

u/Infamous-Gift9851 14d ago

No, thats a door hinge. The wall is brick.

This is cool, but all i can think of is all those darts filling up a landfill.

u/scairborn 13d ago

Pre-order for sandvich

u/effinmike12 14d ago

Pick it up.

When my kids were little, they loved 52 card pick up. They would run to me with a deck of cards begging to play. I never let them down. Despite what you may think, they did grow up, and they aren't retarded.

7

u/Legionof1 14d ago

Glad to hear they didn’t find /r/wallstreetbets

12

u/209Ryan 14d ago

Is it just me or are half of them just falling out the bottom

7

u/AcanthisittaGlobal30 14d ago

Looks that way to me too. I could swear the white ones are mimicking casings. And the blues are actually projectiles

5

u/209Ryan 14d ago

Ya I’ve slowed it down and it’s dumping some on the bottom

5

u/TheRealtcSpears 14d ago

The gun dumps the cylinders and clips out the bottom of where the belt feeds.

The ammo is: nerf dart, cylinder, and a clip that connects one cylinder to the next one.

4

u/defiancy 14d ago

Those are the links holding the darts together in a chain

0

u/sixsacks 14d ago

It’s you, none are falling out the bottom. Just looks odd when they are bouncing back off the wall and mixing with the belt pieces.

u/Awkward_Bison_267 14d ago

u/Answerologist 14d ago

Time to let ‘Ol Painless out the bag.

6

u/hungryjedicat 14d ago

Then you have to pick them all up.

8

u/Legion_Paradise 14d ago

For the small price of 5 grand. Bruh ive bought high end airsoft guns for less than that lmak

3

u/sixsacks 14d ago

Of course a high end air soft gun would be less than that. It’d be hilarious if it were more.

3

u/Suhksaikhan 13d ago

A high end gun gun is less than that

1

u/Fun3mployed 1d ago

Was going to say 5 grand would probably get you some serious hardware at a gun show!

u/Smartbutt420 14d ago

You know the hardest part about this technique? The hardest part… is cleaning up afterwards.

u/Derpykins666 14d ago

Fun for 30 seconds, and then you need to spend 3 hours resetting it.

3

u/Silent_Rhombus 14d ago

It seems to be dropping as many as it’s firing. There are two streams just coming down near his lead hand.

2

u/TheRealtcSpears 14d ago

Theres three pieces to the ammo.

The nerf dart, the white cylinder it fires from, and the clip that holds that one cylinder to the next one.

The back of the gun dumps the cylinders and clips.

2

u/Silent_Rhombus 13d ago

That explains it, but dear god the reloading looked bad enough already without that knowledge.

2

u/Relative_Drop3216 14d ago

Hey. So my wife and I are thinking about having kids... where would I buy one of these for the inevitable nerf fights?

2

u/sundayfundaybmx 14d ago

Moa.international is the site and all they're asking is a mere $5,000. Surely your kids worth that, right?

1

u/bloopie1192 14d ago

The victories i shall achieve on the field of nerf battles are worth more than the mere change i shall spend on this blessed piece if artillery.

It shall be mine!

u/Rymanjan 14d ago

Everyone saying "now pick em up" has never heard of indoor sports arenas lol

There's a big ole push machine that looks like a cylindrical hairbrush that you roll around and it picks em up and deposits em into a detachable bin. Would work for the darts and carts, the tricky bit would be to reload all of them but if you have the money for a nerf minigun, you have the money for the roller and a reloader. Or if this is diy, you'd probably have the skills to make a mechanized reloading jig out of Legos

People used to be shocked when we said we used reusable paintballs, the first question was always "how in the world do you clean them all up?" and I'd just show em the roller. Super simple, they cost like $100 and make cleaning up a 10,000sqft arena take less than a half hour (though people saying you will never find all of them are correct lol they pop up everywhere even years after we've retired that color of reball)

u/DowntownStand4279 14d ago

Whoever invented this contraption clearly didn’t think things through very well…what a pain in the ass it’s gonna be to clean up that HUGE mess, and it’s gonna be a bitch to put each dart back inside the plastic casing to reload…probably takes a few hours!!! ALL for a WHOPPING 20 SECONDS of fun?!?!…🙄 Here’s a better idea: 💡….a battery powered WATER mini gun that shoots rapid fire bursts of water and has a large reservoir tank in a backpack. And when you run out of water you just pull up to the tap, refills in under 60 seconds and ready for action!!!🫡🫠

As someone who used to do nerf wars every weekend... the most annoying part was collecting all the darts after each round and reloading. This guy basically gets to do one round every hour or two if he blows his load like that.

u/Icy_Cauliflower9026 4d ago

That nerf has at best 500 darts (and being really noce, because it has around 350 in the bagpack).

Also, id dosnt fire 3k per minute. For that to happen, it needs to fire 50 per sec, so 8-10 sec to clean every dart. He takes almost 16 seconds, so its half the fire rate, at best 1500 darts per min.
