Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Kids fucking love Nerf guns and Nerf keeps putting them out. Lets take a trip down memory lane
Everyone remembers this badboy, this was the one that started it all.
then we went into things like this the ballzooka which were awesome, easy to use and very rapid firing rates.
The Nerf action line was fucking awesome it gave us shit like the Sneakshot which could shoot around corners
it also gave us the Razorbeat which while was an awesome crank operated belt fed chaingun it always was impossible to crank for any average 10 year old
Years passed and nothing really awesome came out then came this:
The Maverick - Easy to use cheap and VERY effective, it also didn't hurt that was was showcased in a PA comic it also got a recent redesign (the yellow one)
around the same time as the Maverick came the Longshot which was awesome because it was a bolt action clip fed sniper rifle with a built in bipod and then it even could separate into 2 guns, seriously how awesome was that! .
Now comes this:
The Nerf Nerf Vulcan EBF-25 its a BELT FED (25 shots) battery operated (6 D-cells) pivoting tripod mounted chain gun like seriously this is fucking amazing and all for only 40$
like its fucking huge look at this shit
More info in the spoiler
Spoiler:
Hasbro also showed off the Nerf Vulcan EBF-25. While it doesn't double as a Wii accessory, the Vulcan stood out as one of the most extreme examples of Nerf warfare yet. The Vulcan is a tripod-mounted, motorized Nerf machine gun that uses an ammo belt and storage box to fire up to 25 Nerf darts without reloading. It runs on 6 'D' batteries, and also features an N-strike clip for using additional tactical lights, scopes, or sights. The Vulcan already seems like a fearsome Nerf gun, but its motorized system and pivoting tripod practically beg for some enterprising toy modder to drill, cut, and solder on some servo motors and make their very own Nerf sentry turret. The Nerf Vulcan EBF-25 ships in Fall 2008, with a retail price of $40.
I will give so much money to the man who finds a way to turn this into an automated sentry gun.
Because then we'll have all the proper nerf guns to recreate Team Fortress 2.

The disappointing thing about the Vulcan's chains are that they can't be connected together. Luckily they are attached with fabric, so a bit of scissor and tape work and you're good.
it's showing the tank's pressure? the way it has to work is that the lever pumps a tank, then you fire shots (and I'm guessing here but the design doesn't show any other way) by hand loading them one at a time. I may be off on the loading.
Yeah, what the fuck is that pressure gauge doing there?
If it wasn't turned into a solid state air tank and is still a plastic bladder it will prevent him from blowing it up, because I'm assuming he has plugged the overfill valve thing.

Man, the angle of this photo is just weird.
this one seems to have a balding middle aged man on it.
Not true:

No, seriously; If someone had offered me that gun in exchange for another child's life, I wouldn't have hesitated.

fuck me.
my office is going to be like the gates of hell, impregnable and impassable.
a remote detonator?
a terrorist plastic flamingo?
edit: That looks like a giant version guys. Pretty sure that's not perspective fooling your eyes.
edit2: And in the original pictures that I saw I didn't know it had a box for the chain. I figured it just hung out of it. So much more awesome.
I like keeping the stock on, though and supporting the gun so that it barely moves when you cock the gun between shots
edit: I have too many guns by the way

I really need to get one of those. Currently my arsenal consists of two Mavericks.
Ahh, I forgot the shotgun had an air bladder.
it's steam punk.
and it's not a maverick. it's a lever action rifle from buzzbee. I have one sitting next to me.
