ever since the invention of the gun
people have loved firing bullets at each
other go ahead make my day but in 1992
nerv offered mankind the perfect balance
between indiscriminately shooting other
people and not getting blood stains on
our Reebok pumps welcome to
watchmojo.com it we’re counting down the
five least lethal facts about the foamy
weird world of nerf
now a sneak attack number five the
origins of the nerf name aren’t as wacky
as you might think
basis you’re either on one end of a nerf
weapon or via turns out that nerf wasn’t
always synonymous with brews free fun
with guns the internet mostly says that
nerf stands for non expanding
recreational foam but more credible
sources point out that it comes from the
wacky world of drag racing RuPaul’s Drag
Race is back well the other kind but
sure a 1950s hot rodder slang to nerf
someone was to nudge them off course
with your bumper nerf bars became slang
for custom bumpers and somehow that
became a foam toy somehow number four
the same dude who invented twister is
also responsible for nerf J we’re
playing twister hey what touching my
butt not content creating a game where
people rub against one another while
trying to match various body parts to
colored circles inventor when Geyer
created a whore inch ball that could be
thrown at anything and not cause damage
you could pitch it right at your friends
faces and it wouldn’t leave a mark hey
what are those things anyway their ball
bungee fine that doesn’t hurt anything
the main selling point of this ball was
that it wouldn’t hurt no matter how hard
you flung it and this one the hearts of
violent American children everywhere
originally Geyer was using the foam in a
game with actual rules but that
inevitably devolved into vigorous ball
chucking so they went with it number
three nerf makes the big bucks oh yeah
so this is five modulus barrel
extensions in the long range barrel of
course already we have quite a bit of
barrel flop playing with Nerf blasters
is an ever growing pastime and has
become popular with growing man-children
as well
since intended demographic of growing
children children in fact since the
introduction of Nerf blasters over 4
billion darts have been sold and
Counting and he solves the equation
crowd goes wild no bail no and because
we live in a world where the internet
connects statistic craved weirdos with
weirdos who actually do math we now know
that in the past 5 years
enough darts have been sold to circle
the globe four times that is crazy but
it also means crazy money for the
corporate fat cats down at nerf 2014 saw
a six hundred and twenty million dollar
gross for the plastic blaster magnets
and the Guinness Book of World Records
recognizes them as the biggest outdoor
sports and toy brand in the world it’s
nerve or Nothing number two nerf wars
our thing he’s reloaded give him cover
organize nerf wars happen in a lot of
different countries and allow otherwise
civilized human beings to come together
and fire non-lethal projectiles at each
other while all the while wearing big
goofy grins participants are armed to
the gills with soft neon bullets & fire
happily at each other all day long one
such gathering in Calgary recently set a
Guinness world record with 601
trigger-happy participants careful where
you point that thing though
a Missouri couple faced assault charges
for nerf darting a drive-thru worker
this caused more confusion than it did
pain but rumor has it that gun control
is a bit of a sore subject in the u.s.
none of these ideas should be
controversial number one that badass sci
fi gun battle you just watched nerf this
is a sexy gun nerfs designs are so
remarkable and flashy that they’ve
captured the attention of TV and movies
alike
terranova reportedly one of the most
expensive TV shows ever use repainted
nerf guns to replicate actual firearms
acclaimed cinematic gems like mega
piranha hunter prey and the ABCs of
death have also used modified nerf guns
to hammer home their legitimacy but
these productions are basically doing
what the extensive nerf subculture does
everyday modding modders alter nerf
products to resemble weapons from
real-life popular movies shows and
videogames aficionado spray paint their
firearms add pieces lights and sound
effects to make really awesome and
pretty badass creations that’s what I’m
talking about
noisy cricket well this has been an
exhilarating and thought-provoking
journey but now we have to spend the
next hour picking up those darts we shot
for more fun foamy top tens and get one
tiny hole and it won’t shoot top fives
