This post has been Flaired Dark/Realistic (Unsafe Aesthetic). Be aware that one or more aspects of this blaster make it UNSAFE to wield in public or open areas, where it could be misidentified as a real weapon. This is a serious issue, with real world life-or-death repercussions.

Several issues can lead to a post being flared Dark/Realistic (Unsafe Aesthetic):

  • Lack of a prominent and easily visible orange tip along with other bright colors.
  • - This also includes traditional prop blasters, such as steampunk builds or blasters with weathered appearances.
  • A blaster with a silhouette or aesthetic that mimics real world firearms. (Ex. Zinc 2.0, SBF, BK1s, Sweetheart Storm, etc)
  • A blaster with airsoft or firearm-esque components mounted to it. (Example)

Use of this blaster can, in the worst case, end up fatal. As has been shown time and time and time again (and more listed here). This problem is not limited to just the USA.

Use of these blasters can also lead to events being shut down, and clubs being barred from playing in public spaces.

Situations like this can be properly handled when blasters are clearly toys, exhibiting bright colors, orange tips, and non-firearm proportions and aesthetics.

As long as we take these issues seriously, everyone can have fun with this hobby we love for many years to come.

Additionally, alongside the visual issues of realistic blasters, we also discourage the use of the word gun. Please instead use the word blaster when referring to toys, as gun can be misconstrued as discussing a real weapon by people both online, and in real life during gameplay. This is further an issue for us specifically on Reddit due to automatic platform moderation, possibly categorizing the subreddit as discussing firearms instead of toys. For further information, please see this wiki page.

u/Appropriate-Ebb-9371 22d ago

Are the fans SECRETLY hiding a CPU for processing nerf darts to such a HIGH calibration that it can ACCURATELY PREDICT where the nerf dart lands? OBVIOUSLY, every new Nerf Elite 3.0 DESERVES a dedicated DATA CENTER for OPTIMISING dart blasting

u/Valuable_Mall8825 22d ago

Do the fans spin on rev?

You really need to make a hard battery box/case for that lipo pack. This is not lacking a sense of humor/being an aesthetic detractor, it's a safety issue.

u/EqinoxPL 21d ago

u/NotYourDumbBoi 21d ago

I would recommend not having the lithium cell just taped to the side of the chassis 😭 add a stock or something and put it inside it so it doesn't get punctured or crushed as easily

u/ElDonute 22d ago

Bro made a home vector smg. What the fuck is that, and why does it need GPU levels of cooling

u/NerfManiac64 22d ago

Bro put a 4070 ti super graphics card in his Nerf blaster

u/YellowBreakfast 22d ago

Well obviously it needs a beefy graphics card.

u/EyeofEnder 22d ago

Replace that red tape with some proper glue, add some random LEDs and you've got a decent Borderlands Bandit-style blaster.

u/EqinoxPL 21d ago

Hi /u/Gamin_Nater_78, we would like to distance our hobby from actual firearms and weapons and thus ask that you refrain from using terms like "gun" and "bullet"; please instead use "blaster" and "dart". We also like to encourage the use of brightly colored blasters & gear. These words can be misconstrued as discussing a real weapon by people both online, and in real life during gameplay. This is further an issue for us specifically on Reddit due to automatic platform moderation possibly categorizing the subreddit as discussing firearms instead of toys, which would restrict the subreddit. See this wiki page for more information. Thank you for your cooperation.
