Being on the Internet, you’re probably aware of the Streisand Effect. It seems as though Hasbro, makers of the always-popular-at-Giz Nerf Guns, haven’t, as they’re suing an Aussie blogger (and more or less former Nerf fan) via what allegedly appears to be some rather devious tactics.
Nerf guns are obviously designed with limited kick to be safe for kids. But if you’re older, and irresponsible, you crave something with a little more firepower. Which is what led Make’s Dan Spangler to build this propane-powered dart cannon.
Nostalgia? Who needs it? Where were badass Super Soakers like this when I was a kid?
Sure, Nerf Lancers have been done before, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be done better. This one, from reader Nick G, is also for sale on eBay.
