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*

The Maverick pistol is very cool too. The sniper Rifle + a Maverick sidearm = NERF INVINCIBILITY

I can appreciate your resentment at not having had stuff like this as a child. However, I am personally not made terribly comfortable knowing that there is one more set of toy guns out there teaching our kids that conflicts can/should be resolved by whoever has the biggest caliber weapon. Many parents specifically forbid their kids toy guns, and in this gun-crazy culture I can see why (especially so soon after the Amish school shootings).

Wow. I must go and purchase this. NERF SNIPER RIFLE!

I really wonder how many of these cool toys are designed by people who also wanted cool toys when they were kids.

Though they did have some pretty cool toys back then. I particularly remember a plastic sword and a pedal-able "car" that some of my cousins had. Somehow their toys seemed cooler than my toys.

Hey, is this post friend's locked? If not I have someone I want to point to it because she would truly love you to death for this little tidbit!

I'll see your sniper rifle and raise you a Tommy Gun:

I'm afraid I'll have to disagree.
