Childhood Moment Relived: Nerf Guns
Impulse bought a Nerf Recon Gun on sale the other day (for the record, it’s not really childhood moment relived, I never played with them as a kid…). I went ahead and modified the internals so that it shoots stronger by removing the air restriction thing, and ran around looking for a specific plastic-use spray paint brand (Krylon Fusion) all over the GTA for 3 days. Finally found it in Canadian Tire earlier today. Silver came from my own Gundam paints because I couldn’t bear spending $8 on a can of metallic spray paint. I like the look though.
Found out WongFu has a thing full black painted Nerf guns shortly after deciding to paint it. Now that it’s painted, I just want to say I hate spray paint in a can; control is absolutely terrible. Then again, with something as crude as this (in comparison to Gundam, at least), all I cared about was covering the bright yellow and orange haha. The paint makes the cocking mechanism less smooth though :/
Oh and the air chamber mechanism which makes the foam darts fly is so strong now, it tears the darts at the tails. Relative to the other casual shooting-type hobby/activities, I still think airsoft > paintball = nerf though…
