My gorgeous bride, Miss ViVi, bought my older son a Nerf gun last Christmas.  I think I liked it more than he did.

I mean, this thing came with two removable six-round box magazines, and was styled after a decked-out AR-15, with carry handle mounting a removable scope on a pseudo-Picatinny rail (Nerf rail?), an adjustable stock, and a folding bipod.  The whole fore-end and front grip form a removeable unit that functions as a separate single-shot pistol.  Both it and the main unit fire foam-and-plastic Nerf darts.  I’ve since purchased additional magazines and darts, so The Revered Doctor Vinoski Sweetness is one heavily-armed young fella.

I’ve been meaning to post about it since I started this blog.  I came across this article not too long ago, about an even more sophisticated Nerf weapon (full auto!), and am now finally getting around to sending unreserved kudos to the Nerf marketing and manufacturing teams.  Bravo, good men!  Bravo!  Hasbro rules!

I went out looking for a picture of TRDVS’s weapon.  Couldn’t find it.  But I found that they also offer weapons with rotary drum magazines…

…and belt-fed weapons.

What’s not to love about these guys?
