    For a while, I was into Nerfsmithing. I built a lot of different things, but my masterpiece was a heavily modified Stampede with a Strongarm attached to it as a front grip. The Stampede would fire 8 darts per second out to around 100 feet. It was fed from a 35-round drum.

    It was also designed to look as silly as possible. It had an attached laser, red dot sight, and tactical light; a folding bipod and an adjustable rifle strap; and side holders for extra darts. All of the accessories were repainted in bright nerf colors to match the original scheme.

    My proudest moment was when someone decided to hold an office-wide nerf war. (There were around 300 people in our office.) They sent out an email that ended with “Everyone is invited to participate except Curious Canid .” There is no higher accolade.

      I was into modding for a while! I kinda miss it. My favorite creation was a Long Strike that I ripped out the internals from and put in a pneumatic system from a different blaster paired with a long PVC barrel. That thing could shoot over 100 feet, shooting level not arched.

        Thank you!

        Actually, I liked the idea so much that I designed a general-purpose bracket that would let me put almost any handgun up there.

        Oh, and I also added a bracket so I could mount the Nerf “Machete”. It wasn’t useful, but it did make the thing look even sillier.
