Nerf blasters are fun for kids and adults.
(Side note -the company prefers the term “blasters” over “guns”, for obvious reasons.)
The blasters come in a bevy of options but none make much noise. Hacksmith changes all that with this modified screaming Nerf blaster inspired by “Borderlands 2.”
Hacksmith Industries takes a standard Nerf blaster and adds a microcontroller, switches, a speaker, and headphone jack so that when a user fires, shakes or reloads the weapon, it makes a noise.
After all of the accessories are added, the gun gets a new paint job and even a professionally designed package (like the one in my shorts).
A slew of different voices and sounds are added, including Bob Ross, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Face McShooty, Scarface, and Sly Stallone, among others.
The result is a beautiful piece of machinery that looks like hours of fun.
Thank Christ this Nerf gun isn’t available for retail and won’t land in the hands of my 10-year-old son. The “Who Lets The Dogs Out?” mode would get old incredibly fast.
