Hey Bobby

As a nerf modder from Nz i can confirm.... Its so much fun x'D

you could say they're having a....blast?...I'll let myself out

Nerdy??? So what it's nerf??? Isn't the big aspect of everything is "training" NO MATTER WHAT. I think this fits right in with "training"

It's not even "nerdy." It's just airsoft/paintball with less pain and more focus on weapon modification

This quote brings tears to my eye. I have a son and we are having a blast playing Nerf blaster. I tell you, the bonding is magic between father-son. Just because I am father doesn't mean I cannot play toy with kid.

Not really man. That quote irked me. For some people things stop being fun and we wish they would be fun again but something changed irreversibly and will never be the same. That doesn’t mean we can’t have fun. But usually as we change so does our definition of fun.

Saw the "right when he said it

When I was in school at the end of the tears we had student teacher auctions. You paid the school to make them slaves for a day. Obviously we're teenagers so we got to dress up people. Teachers bought students vice versa, all the moneybwas charity for the teachers. My wrestling coach is a 4ft 10 Jewish man. (Strongest man go ever put a hand on me) we all spent a grand to make him dress up like little Boe peep! He did! We made the yearbook lol but I miss those days. When people could take a piss out of things and laugh. I ended up dating a hihj school teacher years later and the things we got to do for the kids was the best! Anyone here ever have "field days"?

I once saw on Lego subreddit someone saying their reply to people asking "Aren't you too old to play Lego" was "I'm too old to care anymore"

@@noob.168 That's exactly the kind of attitude I like. Never let anybody tell you you are too old to have fun, just tell them you are too busy having fun to feel old.

@@adrianrocha49 at least someone wants their special work to be overtime

FAX

Yup

Yeah, our snowflake generation need it

@Majbritt Eriksson they kinda used to just be a fun magazine in the first place. They only really started getting political not that long ago. Don't you remember them getting wasted with a tribe and looking for dinosaurs?

@@MrEd8846 yeah! I remember the good days of vice! I was kinda trolling with the comment

Cool stuff! It's fun to see adults enjoying life like that.

Ironically nerf is probably the least used blaster brand in most events, because their demographic is still largely kids, so the real hardcore people don't own any nerf

🤣🤣🤣

😂

Oh trust me, we own lots of nerfs, but mostly out of love, of course you can mod those to hell and back but the adventure force pro are the rage right now, in the end all that matters is foam flinging, any brand is good, the limit is your imagination... And solvent welds

Dude your hobby rocks

@@bayersbluebayoubioweapon8477 fr

I was pleasantly surprised myself. :)

its amazing to see it, what an amazing hobby we have

It's crazy, news coverage usually isn't this personal (or positive: it's always "gun this, gun that"). Glad they actually showed off the awesome and silly side of the hobby too, in that literally anyone can play.

😂😂😂

Fun control

Amen

Capt. Xavier is the perfect ambassador for the hobby.

I mean how is it different then the airsoft and paintball hobbys. it is just different ammo then look at the lego group. I mean sure some would say they should pick up a hammer and build a real house but if you look at some of the creation OMG. they are amazing. Cosplayers, 3d Printers, Epoxy model makers, etc.. it is all "kid stuff' but take any of these hater and see them create some of the same amazing things

Reusable ammo that is on par with standard because it is the standard unlike reball

@@sharazar How nerfing is different to airsoft and paintball is evident in the video; you can do it safely and without mess in far more locations. That whole sequence at the end in the mall wouldn't be possible with the others. And that's down to how it's a less extreme form of play. This is why it's possible to get together and play at a public park too. But also, nerfing can be varied a hell of a lot. That mall event would be at "HvZ" level performance for the blasters. That means there'd be a lower cap for how fast the ammo will travel. It's higher than "stock" but not so high to hurt or damage anything. At this range, which is probably say, 120fps cap, you can safely tag each other point blank and it won't really hurt. Notice they still all wear eye protection though, which is good practice because it could still be damaging to get hit in the eye. But then there's higher level events. A lot have a 150 cap. A lot of "pro" level blasters sold today aim for somewhere around this range. It's common for events to have a 200 cap. Or a hybrid where 200fps blasters are allowed for longer range, but there's a minimum engagement distance. And there's events with even higher caps.

"The story you are about to hear is true. A name was changed to protect the guilty." :P

@@CaptainXavier Call me whatever! I'm just happy to be here. 😁

Fun is fun! I’m sure that there is a group near you. There’s never been a better time to enter the Nerfing hobby. For $10 or less at a thrift store you can get the basic equipment and for about $50 (or less you you can find it on sale or second hand) you can have an amazing blaster. Facebook is an easy way to get connected to a local or regional Nerfing group.

Yes! That's how I felt!

@@norcalnerfclub3423 💯🤘

I concur. Would be nice to see more people join up from this.

@@scottjs5207 Man, I remember back when you were making videos of playing in a church. You and Aldoss were two of the people that inspired me to put a GoPro on my head when I played. Now my videos are from a host pint of view. Glad to see more people posting #NerfGameplay videos!

@@norcalnerfclub3423 I'm honored to have been an inspiration. I still have a back log of videos I want to post, but 2020 and finishing college definitely did a number on motivation I'm still dealing with. Maybe I'll get back to it someday, but as it stands, I'm just collecting gameplay footage.

Yeah it's honestly kinda unfortunate that even in larger cities it's hard to find games easily. I've only done a few games with friends but it's pretty fun and it's much more light hearted than airsoft and the barrier to entry is waaaay lower.

If you look on FB groups you can find groups almost anywhere to go play with. And if you don’t find any then make one and people will join. You’d be suprised how many there actually are. I live within an hour or so of 4 different clubs for nerf. And I’ve traveled the country playing in competitions.

I have no nerf community near me :(

@@RetroFoamStudios me too

Sadly, as a nerfer, our hobby is very much going to be divided as more and more of us take things to the extreme tbh

@@RetroFoamStudios Where are you at? I ran events local to another group for 5 years without ever knowing about it. It's unfortunately harder to find us than it should be.

@@kagenlim5271 wtf?

I actually stopped watching Vice because of all the negative stories, finally something that's different

Agreed

It is super interesting because the entire negative connotation about gun culture is a literal scapegoat pushed by a certain mindset of politicos and media to not have to deal with the complexity of increasing mental health crisis in western societies. The truth is the govt will not protect your life, they will only investigate your murder after the fact. We all have the right to defend ourselves by the best means possible.

For real man, I just had a friend of mine get me into this and these things are INSANE! Some of the springers coming out like the Gameface Trion will actually leave some nasty welts on you. I havent modded any of mine but for the mechanically inclined, what a fun little hobby. Im pushing 30 here too 😂

As an avid airsoft player I wonder why nerf instead

@mr.nobody3842 the main reason, for me, was, i was tired of all the mothers of little kids yelling at me. Almost every time in between games, there would be some kid flagging me, finger on the triger, in my face, and i would, kindly ask them at first, not to do that, and in the cases where the kids and parents got snotty, i would push the barrel away. I wasnt being an ass since most of the time i had a majority of players on my side, so i just got tired of it. There just wasnt a good community where i lived, which sucked, but i never had that problem with nerf, surprisingly. I have no hard feelings for airsofters as a whole, since there always are those people in every community, i just left due to a number of bad experiences and was just done with it.

@@Mr.Nobody5899 For me it's down to the community and the DIY aspect (and also price to a degree). If you have a 3D printer and some cheap hardware, you can build and customize blasters to a pretty crazy degree. The ability to play in public spaces is also very helpful for organizing games.

And the bit of black humour with the black players was epic!

I enjoy people who enjoy and are not ashamed of their passions. Especially harmless passions.

Nerf is quite a fun hobby, I love to play in games and such and I would highly recommend giving it a try!

It is different than other shooting sports in that there is zero possibility that you would be playing with nerf and not remember every single second of the time that your playing with a children’s toy. It’s good clean fun. The best thing about it is you will never find an more accepting and accommodating group of people either than Nerf hobbyists.

Do it! Find a local game and go! People will lend you blasters and ammo, it's a hoot. Get a crazy workout or play it easy. I can't recommend it enough.

If you dig a little you’ll find people modifying blasters to shoot harder and faster, and a slew of 3d printed blasters of various capabilities. There are tons of options which make it a bit more exciting than basic stuff of the shelves.

It's a blast (pun intended).

And of course, a couple bins of AF Pros or DZ Waffleheads...

Face or the groin? 😂😂😂

And some springs, lipo charger, new flywheels, a 3D printer etc.

@@LMvdB02 Getting a 3D printer just for nerf modding was the best decision I made. I used to think these things would cost 1500USD or something, but nowadays you can get a very good printer for 200-300USD!

Airsoft is better imo if had some surreal moments playing airsoft idk it feels more realistic and like there’s more of a Consequence to getting hit

:):) it really is!

Trust me it definitely doesn't look intimidating at all. It's nerf. Lol

@@tommychoppa7564 lol right? 😀

Wow you're such a big boy

i go airsofting from time to time and every time I've been there I've had help each time I've been there, lots of people there dislike the youtube side of it that try and brandish everyone as cheaters but everyone when your in the safe zone is so chill and everyone has a good time and helps out newbies

I mean your not always gonna be in a good mood when you can actually feel the hits

@@Mr.Nobody5899 trust me, you feel the hits. I have small bruises from high power nerf darts. My personal blaster hits around 250fps. And our darts weigh 1.0 g.

NERF and Super Soakers were and still are fun. I love magfed paintball, but you have to love the roots too 😊

Thanks!

Agreed 😂😂😂

Actually, you do. There is a fairly decent Nerf Community in Canada. I am friends with several of them.

@@CaptainXavierwhat I wish I could go to nerf events, I’m in mass 😢

Ugh this was nice, no need to make it meta, just approve or not

@@thotslayer9914 Wtf is wrong with you? Your a stupid kid!

Go do it! It is. Paintball but sillier!

It is.

America is pretty messed up, makes sense. But I enjoyed this

Welcome. Check out the others, mayve? Doctor Flux does some crazy builds as well and Walcom S7 has the largest collection of NERF blasters.

more like between paintball and nerf

Nerf is a shooting sport without any pretense that it’s anything other than pure fun. You’ll never find a more fun-loving and accepting group of people than the in the Nerfing hobby.
