Tango down



Nerf has a sniper rifle now.

Let me say that again.

A FREAKING SNIPER RIFLE.

3 feet long, range 35 feet. 12 darts in two quick reload clips. And a detachable scope. Can also break down into two smaller submachine gun-types, one with a fold-down bipod.

And they have a Nerf pistol with a LASER FINDER.

All part of the N-Strike range. For more N-Strike insanity, see here.

God, I want. Why didn't they have toys this cool when I was a kid?

*sob*

These guns have been out since at least labor day. I know, we use them as props in the end-of-the-world game we play. More generally, though, did you parents let you play with army soldiers, toy cars, roughhouse, etc. How is it any different for kids to entertain themselves by shooting one another than by wrestling each other? How does one encourage kids to be violent and not the other?
