Edit: Since people seem to be confused about this: The paint job is done by people after the fact and the ammo counter is also user made. Look at the Amazon review images... people have painted it themselves and again the ammo counter is not on any models of this. The person made it and retrofitted it themselves. Pretty obvious too when the gun itself only holds like 8 rounds in the magazine and the counter on the gun in the GIF goes to 35.
Here's an amazon link for y'all
This is at least twice as expensive as just buying an airzooka which works 10x better.
two chicks at the same time, man.
Actually, that's tasteless. 10 of these, and 9 of your best friends. I suggest you augment your $100 with a moderate amount of delicious alcoholic beverage.
FYI. This is the Nerf gun.
http://www.amazon.com/Nerf-N-Strike-Elite-Triad-Blaster/dp/B009T45X82/ref=cm_srch_res_rpli_19
I work for the Internet and own far to many of these stupid things for office warfare. This $10 Nerf gun is the by far THE BEST Nerf gun available. It actually shoots 75ft, it's accurate as fuck, it stings when you get hit, and it is super friendly with generic / homemade ammo.
Ok so from one nerdy father to the next... you need to up your game a bit. Dont worry I am here to help. start with the stryfe
if you open it up pull the switches for the mags and doors and turn them backwards so it will spin the motors anytime you pull the trigger. Next get a pair of the 18 dart mags (the drums are too slow). Now order 4 of the lithium high voltage batteries. . .only pull the lower button a half second before you fire cause you can smoke the motors. You will hear when they are ready. . its a little loud. Once the motors reach max rpms you can dump the entire first mag as fast as you can pull the trigger.
Now that you got them a little gun shy to dash across the openings you can use the second mag for only the best shots.
I personally like to have a pair of them and a hand cocked one. The single cock ones are good for the stealth shots once they learn to listen for the whirl of the full autos.
Nerf Maverick
It's awesome. I still have mine. For those wondering you can get one on Amazon
Actually I think I'll add it to my subreddit too.
I have 0 affiliation with this product but I saw it a few weeks ago. It helps critters in pools get to safety. https://www.amazon.com/Swimline-70200SL-FrogLog-Critter-Saving/dp/B004UHY2TY
I have a handheld version with a surprisingly accurate sight on the top. It has a 50' range, which is astonishing for something so compact. I can pop it from my third-story window and watch the wind hit people across the street. It's always funny to watch someone brush their ear and turn around to see where it came from.
Edit: Ask and you shall receive
Who pays this much for a nerf gun?
maybe it's because the animals now think your pool is TOTALLY LAME and you're a BIG NERD.
jk here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/Swimline-70200SL-FrogLog-Critter-Saving/dp/B004UHY2TY/ref=asc_df_B004UHY2TY/
So me and my cat can match! Who's "special" now!?
It's the Strongarm.

There was a post a few years back about a ramp made to help animals that have fallen into the pool climb back out before drowning. I remember it had a funny name - The FrogLog.
Edit: found the original post
Toadlets are so cute.
There are little mesh ramp animal-saver-things for sale (here's one on amazon) that let any small critters self-rescue when they fall in a steep-sided pool or water feature.

Stampede is where it's at. Same firepower as a Vulcan, but magazine based and in a rifle configuration, so you can aim. Snag 2 of the drum magazines from the Raider and you can rock 'n' roll for an entire weekend of HvZ.
I don't think you understand how much of a steal this is. There's the two Recons going for $20 used and new for almost $100, the longshot going for $100-200 easy, the Vulcan going for way too much, two $15 Mavericks, a $25 rampage, plus a whole lot more. I mean, it's easily over $200 worth of guns, especially with that longshot. The longshot uses a different mechanism for firing the darts that can be better modified than pretty much any other nerf gun out there. Stock, it's on par with most guns, but modded it can be hitting some insane ranges. Since it's no longer in production, nor is any gun with the same mechanism, it's worth a pretty penny.
Edit: I'm wrong on the plunger system.
I did this in 2012! I basically went the same route--white dress, neon glittery makeup. I debated between a rainbow wig vs. spraying my hair white, and ultimately went the white spray route because I thought all the rainbow wigs looked cheap and tacky. I was actually really happy with it, because my colorful neon eyes ended up being the only color in an otherwise all-white outfit, which I thought was pretty cool, but it was A HUGE PAIN to wash out, especially since it was white spray on my very black hair... it looked like I had really bad dandruff for, like, a week. For my horn, I went with this (this was before the unicorn fad made a comeback, so there weren't many good horns on the market), which I didn't love, but it worked... I think you can find a much nicer one now. Good luck!

He using an air blaster to put the fire out. And then editing the video to play backwards. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C2S97HA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_lJK-ybDJZKWF6
The Doominator has poor performance both modified and stock, and the Rapidstrike is pretty much only good when modified. Go with the Demolisher, and possibly also a few of these to go with it.
Right now the Nerf Delta Trooper is $20.49 plus tax on Amazon, maybe slightly over budget, but it's got magazine compatibility and slam fire. A Mediator is also a springer with slamfire, but it's magazine feeds out from the side and it is pump action, and is sold without any attachments and a small magazine (6 rds). I would recommend going to Ross though, as they sell quite a few magfed Buzz Bee blasters that are cheaper (~$8) such as the Reaper and the new Revolution. I also found a Retaliator there (more recommended for modders, but since you do not plan to mod, the Delta Trooper is a better choice due to having slamfire) for about $16. The Nerf Alpha Trooper is also on clearance at Kohls for only $7.50, but there's $9 worth of shipping (at least for me) plus tax, so it really isn't that cheap.
The Strongarm (also available in fancy colors) and Disruptor are a decent plinkers for $10 ($13), but their more inexpensive alternatives are the Dart Zone Blitzfire Two Pack for $13, the Adventure Force Destructor for $7 and the Xshot Reflex 6 two pack (or one pack if you can find it) for $12 currently but $16 msrp. The Destructor and Reflex are the same things made by the same company but sold under two brands: their own and the Walmart one, under different colors.
For the Double-drum revolvers, there is the Nerf Flipfury, the Adventure Force Hyperspin, and the Xshot Xcess (note that the levers on the Hyperspin/Xcess just release the cylinders and don't completely rotate them, while the Flipfury's mechanism does completely swap the cylinders). The two larger blasters in the Dart Zone Commando Iconic 4 Turbo Dart Blasters are also multi-drum, but are the worst in the group and resemble the old-model Xshot Xcess.
A Dart Zone Magnum Superdrum is also only $20, and gives you a 40 shot cylinder with slam fire, but it's misgivings is that is it very loud because it doesn't have air restrictors, and the plastic feels a little bit on the cheaper side and is super creaky. The $25 Xshot Turbo Advance and Adventure Force Superdrum (again, same blasters different brand and color, Turbo Advance is usually $30 but it's on sale right now)
Some other $20 or under offerings from Adventure Force are the Double Trouble, Havoc Powerclip, and Quatroblast. The Double Trouble is a good flywheel blaster, but the Quatroblast is known to sometimes not rotate properly and the Powerclip uses proprietary clips but is a decent blaster otherwise.
This is accurate as far as I know as of October 1st, 2019 CE as of 5:52 UTC. Props to you if you read the whole darned thing.
Under an hour drive from Charlotte, the Catawba is a good starting point but better options exist in Columbia SC or elsewhere in NC (Green River, Deep Creek, French Broad)
Floating can be a wonderful activity for hot weekends, the Catawba is pretty warm so don't expect a huge cool off.
If you want to make a go of it once or twice a year, DIY and save the $20/person charge of companies.
Some suggestions to get you started:
Drop your gear and most of the party here, your put in spot- Catawba River Access, Fort Mill Dam
Leave a car or two here, your takeout spot - Riverwalk, Fort Mill
Additional info from Duke on put in/out
The float can take a few hours, depending on the water level, discharge rate and the day's weather. My notes are simply a starting point, research and plan accordingly!
It's still $30 in Japan

Similar premise, but totally badass.
You're welcome
[Here's] (https://www.amazon.com/Nerf-N-Strike-Elite-Strongarm-Blaster/dp/B00DW1JT5G) the cheapest, best mod you can do besides /u/foam_data 's method.
If you want a cosmetic upgrade and some extra perks like more modding capability you can get [this] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ILD5846/ref=psdcmw_2327110011_t1_B009T45XDW) too, but if you hate the faux grip wrap like everyone else you can just get a Sweet Revenge reshell if those are still around.
cheapest way would be to buy some of these and a set of these
cut the foam to the width of your cars roof, then lay your yak upside down on top of them, run one strap over the front just behind your windshield and one over the back just in front of your rear window... when you tighten them they do not need to be so tight that it deforms the shape of your hull, just tight enough to keep it from sliding off... it would also be a good idea to tie a chord from the front of the kayak to your front bumper and also one from the rear of the kayak to your rear bumper
An elephant weighs about 3-6.5 tons. which at the high end is roughly 5,900 kilograms
A "jumbo" pool noodle is a 55" long by 3.5" diameter cylinder; converting to centimeters is 139.7 cm x 8.89 cm, solving for volume of a cylinder (V= pi * r^2 * h) ~= 9046.03 cm^3
1 cubic centimeter of volume will support 1 gram of mass, so each of those noodles will support about 9.04 kilograms of mass, minus the weight of the pool noodle (1.6 ounces, or about 45 grams, as it turns out), so we can round down and say that each pool noodle will hold up exactly 9 kilos of elephant.
5,900 / 9 is going to leave us at about 650-ish noodles needed before I punch numbers into a calculator, and indeed the number I get is 655.55555.... so round up and make it a nice even 666 noodles to hold up that elephant comfortably.
At the low end, an Asian elephant can be as small as about 3500kg and thus would need roughly 400-ish noodles; plugging those numbers in, 3500/9 = 388.888.... so rounding up, about 400.
I know little about cap guns, but I'm a die-hard fan of Nerf (and similar) blasters - like these two for example. They're a lot of fun to use, okay to bring outside (I know I wouldn't dare take out a cap gun while in the city I live in), and pack a real punch while still being completely safe. There's a different model for just about every kind of gun action you can think of, for example: classic single action revolver, bolt action, lever action, even fully automatic.
If you're looking for something more mil-sim or real-world, might I suggest CO2-powered airsoft guns? They have cool blowback action so you get the feeling and the bang of shooting a pistol, and are accurate enough to be able to plink cans from across the room. And they're good for teaching gun safety at a young age, without putting anyone at that large a risk.
> Would this be a good first Nerf gun? is it powerful? and is it accurate?
I mean, it hits the standard 60/70 fps, nothing special. It's about as accurate as any other Nerf blaster, which isn't saying much. The 'custom stock' kinda sucks, I recommend you get one of these instead. If you really want to get one, go ahead, but you should really just get the blaster without any Nerf accesories and buy aftermarket accessories.
Man, i was going go fucking LOSE it if he pulled one of these babys out at the end!
The Nerf N-Strike Stampede is pretty close.
Here you go, Airzooka.
I remember having these as a kid.
I call this the wakey wakey. Perfectly harmless but wow does it give them a jolt. It almost feels like a bucket of cold water and the first time you use it the whole class loses their minds.

Best 20 I spent in college and I never thought I would use it besides blasting empty beer cans with my roommates.
It's actually significantly more than $40
Edit: Apparently Target sells them for $40... Amazon so espensive :X
>Are 12 round mags easier to find?
No
>Are they particularly cheaper
No
>does the 6 extra dart capacity not justify the extra cost?
N/A
>Are they particularly less bulky?
YES! Especially if you have a dropleg holster with a Stryfe, the 12 round is WAAAAY less awkward.
>Do they perform better?
No.
>I've heard that 12 rounds fit into AR mag pouches pretty easily
True!
>Am I just making the situation up in my head, and 18 round mags are just superior and used more often?
I'm pretty sure this is the case. People tend to use 18s for their price/capacity/availability. Some people with infinite amounts of money exclusively use P-Mags for their style (and they hold almost as many darts). And others use the 22 round Worker mags for their extra 4 darts. But I still say the 18 round mags are the most common.

Lastly, you will need enough blasters for at least 3v3.
Decide what you want to supply for that.
The lowest price I know possible is two packs of tri-fires.
http://www.target.com/p/dart-zone-174-tri-fire-blasters-3-pack/-/A-50560051
Along with some keyrings, because the priming handle on those blasters is difficult.
https://www.amazon.com/Tandy-Leather-Factory-1-Inch-Package/dp/B008YLHMO4
Actual triads are good at twice that price.
https://www.amazon.com/Nerf-N-Strike-Elite-Triad-Blaster/dp/B009T45X82
I also find it's really handy to have a ziploc bag with two pieces of ductape on one side, then cut belt loops in the bag. (And supply some rough string for people without belts).
Ebay often has a supply of inexpensive darts to use.

It appears to be an N-Strike Stampede ECS. It's magazine-fed and fully automatic. I haven't bought a Nerf gun in years, but I'm tempted to go buy this one.
> Those bloated Amazon listings are probably just hoping some poor grandma to come along and buys the blaster their grandson has been asking for... not realizing they might be getting over charged...
While on the surface it looks that way its much more likely the case that the listing is controlled by a bot when items come in stock the bot raises and lowers prices depending on sales and stock, as soon as a product goes out of stock the bot raises the price to a unreasonable price so that orders aren't placed but the listing can be kept up. If these listings are never manually checked they just simply stay up forever at a high price. The product doesn't exist its not someone trying to scalp people just a bot that hasn't been told the item is out of production.
Take for example this stampede listing on the UK amazon which is at close to £400 but when we look on the price tracking website CamelCamelCamel we see the listing has been up since 2010 and price has fluctuated heavily, from 2010 - early 2014 the price is fairly reasonable and again from late 2014 - mid 2016 it seems reasonable but after that point it hits sky high values. Interestingly the price does sometimes take a dive at random points (though remains >£100) why this is IDK possibly the bot has some logic to determine when to raise and lower prices and still does so notably it raised the price a month before Christmas and lowered it again a month after Christmas in the past year.
In the future you can get one of these escape ramp things:

All the worker mags can be bought much cheaper on taobao.
Don't buy the cheap translucent orange 12rd mags you might come across, they are made of extremely low quality plastic (I have had really bad experiences with them)
If it's the same we have, then this
Oh look, another item sold by a Marketplace seller
industrial version of this thingy!
For $30, you can buy some pretty good options for one, but not for two. You’d be limited to something like two Strongarms . If you can go up to $40, you can get two Superdrums .
I'll take a Hammershot too. Free shipping (with Prime), capacity for an extra dart, and easy to mod too. Here's a link
Boomco M6/Farshot/Plasma Pistol. $5 to $10 dollars per, plus $12 for enough K26 to fill 15 of them. May take some time and patience to get used to modding them, but despite the annoyingly sturdy construction they can definitely be modded without severe aesthetic damage. u/DukeWintermaul has a very detailed but long youtube video describing the spring replacement process if you need help.
 
The pistol shows those new to Nerf the potential of superstock mods, and teaches them to value every dart and lead their shots, which I believe is far more important than mindlessly spraying. It'll make them more capable and athletic players, since many (dare I say most) casual Nerfers don't mod anyway.
 
^(Not as good of an idea if you play with mostly children or teens, though. The priming weight of a modded Farshot variant is quite heavy, and can hurt your hands, which is why some opt to add a pull bar or ring to the end of the plunger rod)
These are my personal favorites. they're not the cheapest out there, but they perform great and they're still waaaay cheaper than official Nerf darts.
These kind of darts. Notice how they've got cavities formed between the ridges, kinda like a waffle? It's tenuous, but it's catchy and easy to remember, so it stuck.
Do note, those were found with a quick Amazon search; while the price is not bad (and much better than official Hasbro darts), you can find even cheaper darts that should still work just as well.
[These] (www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M3Z0XZ4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497980241&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=ekind+waffle+darts+200&dpPl=1&dpID=51iiZ1k%2Bk8L&ref=plSrch) are just as accurate and have more range and initial velocity.

This is what we do... A quick path is just to take the bridge into VA then on the WVa side over the last bridge hang a right toward harper's ferry and there's a little parking lot. You don't have to pay to park, but they will put an envelope on your car. You can start here if you like or end here.
If you choose to start here, there's a landing area where the rivers Ys and you can get out there and walk a bit... this tubing trip is about an hour or so.
If you use the park area as your get out spot you can go up the river a ways by river riders and launch in on the public boat launch that is right near theirs. Take a look at a map on google maps and follow the river up... We just drove our cars around and you can follow the buses to see where they put in and get out.
From where River Riders puts in on the area that's around their HQ, the ride is about 3-4 hours down to the parking spot by harper's ferry... I would say there's only one rapid that is challenging at all, but a group of 8 of us all managed to make it through just fine, and it was pretty fun.
Tubes from Amazon like River Riders has are about $18 shipped if you have Prime (http://www.amazon.com/Intex-58825E-River-Run-I/dp/B000PEOMC8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371961427&sr=8-1&keywords=river+tube)
If you're willing to wait a couple days, the River Run 1 on Amazon is a durable tube with two, count em, TWO cup holders.

The Longstrike? Was it a thrift item?
If you're not planning on modding it, you're gonna have a bad time. The Longstrike has a pretty bad reputation around here.
Since you're kinda new, I'd strongly recommend you get this blaster. Again pricing varies, so the waiting game is the best way to go.
Here's another excellent beginner's blaster, they sell for $20 at Target, but this Amazon link is for convenience. I'd also check out eBay.
Around here, we really like this blaster..
Maybe those links will also help you.
Edit: Did I mention the Stryfe comes with a 6 dart clip? So that would have you covered on multiple levels if you're interested. As others have said, 12, 18, 25, and 35 clips/drums also work with your blaster. So anything you can find that says "clip" or "drum" is okay to use as long as it uses darts. Disc clips are not compatible with this blaster, nor are disc drums.
Nerf Stryfe, it decently priced and it is automatic. My buddies and I meet up once a week on campus (college) and have nerf wars, it is really fun and the stryfe is always reliable. Plus it is not difficult to mod and have it be super powerful.
I'd say buy a Nerf Hammershot It's pretty easy, it's a five shot revolver. It's got a hammer to cock instead of a slide, so you can prime and fire it one handed. Easy to still have a drink or hold on to something, or you can dual wield. It's pretty cheap, takes most any dart, and is a lot of fun to cock like a revolver.
There's also the Strongarm and the Disruptor. They're both six shot revolves, slide primed so harder to dual wield but they're solid and you won't have any problems running them, and they take pretty much any dart. If you ever played with a Maverick when you were younger, they're basically the modern equivalents.
EDIT: the Hammershot is actually on sale on Amazon. You can also grab them cheap at Walmart or Target.
https://www.amazon.com/Nerf-N-Strike-Elite-Strongarm-Blaster/dp/B00DW1JT5G
Basically an improved Maverick.
You'll probably want to get some suction darts too

Headshot Ammo (I tend to like the half blue/half white ones)
Nerf Zombiestrike Hammershot
Gavinfuzzy 8-shot cylinder
Blasterparts Metal Kit
Narrowbase LLC Hammershot holster
Little Valentine Waffle tip darts
--------------------
This is just to get started. We don't want to overwhelm the new guy. This is what most of us would consider a competitive "starter" kit. Most of use will use a different holster, but no one will argue that the Narrowbase holster is bad. "Double X" waffle tip darts are the current go-to ammo for the competitive "superstock" nerfer. The tips are about 0.3 grams heavier than standard darts, so they will fall quicker but be much more consistent shot to shot. The Nerf Rival series is just about as nerf as you can go before you are full on paintballing. The headshot ammo is the closest you will get to nerf brand "high impact rounds" (HIRs). It comes at a much lower price, and (in my opinion) it is actually better or at least more consistent in weight compared to nerf brand HIR. No need to buy extra nerf magazines, because the Nemesis holds 100 HIRs. It just hit the United States market last week, but we have been eyeing them for months now (Canada got theirs early).

It is fairly simple prop to make. I left it assembled and primed it with black spray paint. Then I brushed on acrylic paint. This gives it a rough texture unfortunately, but removes the need to disassemble like air brushed versions. I distressed it by “chipping” the edges for wear and caking the handle to give it a thicker texture.
It was actual made for a Destiny cosplay costume for one of my kids. And yes, it is fully operational.
For about $20-25, you can do this too with small tubes of paint. Only took a leisurely 3-4 hours over a few nights to complete.
Hope this helps anyone who is interested in trying this.

if throwing things is the new rules of engagement does that mean conservatives can do the same thing? even using nonelethal and non damaging action.
like rather than throwing food that can stain and ruin clothing get like an air cannon that shoots concentrated bursts of air or something. just annoys someone and lets them go about their day after.
i think this works quite well :D
It's certainly not very useful, but air cannons are highly entertaining. The reviews say they are difficult to put together, so check to see if there is anything local that's already assembled.
Also, have you ever been to http://shutupandtakemymoney.com/ ? They have all sorts of fun little gadgets.
I have a similar tradition with a group. This year I intend to get a n Airzooka, like back in my younger, camping days...

If you've got no boat, go to the bridge at Woodland while the tide is either going in or out- not slack tide. You can get about a 1/4 bushel in a couple hours with 15 or 20 pots. I would suggest going early though as it gets crowded sometimes. Once the tide is slack, you have to wait. Poor results...
If you have a boat, and MD isn't an option, the creeks around Woodland are good, closer to the river. Try and go to about 7 feet of water (if you can) in this nasty ass heat. The crabs will be lower because there's a good amount of dissolved oxygen the colder the water gets and also because they won't be in water that's too warm. The Appoquinimink is good too.
One thing you need to know if you're in a boat though is that your floats need to be as small as possible. Delaware River tributaries have a NASTY tidal flow compared to MD, and if you have milk bottles for floats, it will pull trap doors shut or drag nets. The cheapest thing to do is to go to Walmart or the dollar store and buy noodle floats. Then cut them down to like 6 inch sections to use as floats. It's ridiculously cheap compared to using store bought floats, they last a long time, and you have less drag.
Happy hunting, and do try and post your results.
I figured out what's missing

Yeah, a little late... the orange Stryfe has been listed on Amazon for purchase since December of last year, and it's readily available at most retailers now.
Try one of these.
It's been almost a decade since I built my PC and I've never bought compressed air. I use my trusty Airzooka to blow dust out of my PC.
Yes, I'm serious.
Can we have a pro-capitalism rant? Since it's lifted more people out of extreme poverty than any other system.
Anyway the last thing I bought was a nerf gun I actually bought 2, one for me and one for my kid for his birthday.
Thanks for the suggestion so far, it looks like the hardest part of this will be trying to come up with something that kind of resembles a portal gun.
I'm thinking I might get a Nerf gun like this one and try to attach some "arms" to the front of it.

My awesome cousin bought me ALL OF THE BoomCo Halo nerf guns. I am beyond elated.
If you have prime: https://www.amazon.com/Nerf-Modulus-Recon-MK11-Toy/dp/B019JI9QGC/ref=sr_1_2?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1491340692&sr=1-2&keywords=nerf+recon
A Recon MkII will provide you with retaliator internals, minus some metal bits that they switched to plastic and the trigger. I'd say this would be the cheapest way including shipping.
Get both as both have advantages over the other that balances each other out:
The Mediator is easier and faster to use out of the box IMO since it already has a pump grip already. It's just as easy to upgrade the spring in the Mediator as it is with the Recon Mk2. However, the main con against the Mediator is that it's not left-hander friendly, some people may find the ergonomics a bit off (i.e the short travel of the pump grip isn't to everyone's liking and can throw people off), and the side magwell may be an issue for indoor or heavily cover areas.
The Recon Mk2's chief advantage over the Mediator is that if you wait and monitor this link long enough, you can get the Recon Mk2 for like $5 to $8 easily:
https://www.amazon.com/Nerf-Modulus-Recon-MK11-Toy/dp/B019JI9QGC
You can then use the remaining $10 to $12 that you would spent on the full Recon Mk2 setup on larger 3rd party magazines off NFStrike or eBay and items you need to create a PVC pump grip like the one you see in Beret's video here:
https://youtu.be/F9a93tOFxaI?t=79
IMO, the Recon Mk2 + custom pump grip is more ergonomically friendly than the Mediator. The front barrel and the stock on the normal full Recon Mk2 kit are just plain useless so really not worth spending money on them.
But yeah, get both as variety in blasters is a good thing to have in general. Not one blaster is to everyone's taste. In fact, speaking of variety, in addition to the Recon Mk2 and the Mediator, get the Buzz Bee Air Warriors Interceptor and the Snipe:
http://www.kmart.com/buzz-bee-toys-air-warriors-interceptor/p-004W004505410001P?plpSellerId=Kmart&prdNo=7&blockNo=7&blockType=G7
http://www.kmart.com/buzz-bee-toys-air-warriors-snipe/p-004W009610652001P?plpSellerId=Kmart&prdNo=4&blockNo=4&blockType=G4
The Buzz Bee Interceptor already has a very ergonomic pump grip, can take K26 spring for super performance increase, and its out of the box performance is a bit higher than the Recon Mk2 and Mediator. The Inteceptor shoots at an average velocity of 77FPS whereas the both the Recon Mk2 and Mediator shoots at an average velocity of 65FPS. The main con against the Interceptor (they fixed the Magwell issue apparently) is that small grip and short stock. But that can be fixed:
https://imgur.com/gallery/sdePI
Why the Snipe? Because it's a really really fun blaster to play with. The whole bolt action sequence on the Snipe is just utterly fun to play with. Combined with the overall look, it does bring out the inner "I'm a snipah!!" feel. At the end of the day, Nerf isn't just about performance or a massive arms race. It's about fun too and roleplaying or acting your inner sniper is part of that fun. With that said, the Snipe actually has the better out of the box performance since it can shoot at an average velocity of 85FPS. It can also take a K26 spring upgrade as well.
It's made by BoomCo. Here it is on Amazon. I got one as my Reddit Secret Santa gift this year

No need to rent, just buy this one, me and a bunch of my friends used these on the James and they work fine.
Depends. I tried using the shuttle once and they refused to take me since I didn't have a "dual-chambered" tube, which is bullshit. It was just their way of forcing you to rent one of their tubes if you want to ride with them. Taking 2 cars is definitely the way to go, leaving one at the exit point (Parking costs $3). If you're going to go more than once over the summer, just invest in the tube a life jacket. These are the tubes everyone buys, and buying it costs the same as renting it once. It won't help you for tomorrow, but life jackets are currently $12 on Amazon. So once you make the initial investment, it's free to go as much as you want after that.
I use a different route than what was suggested above: Start at Cochran island, 5450 Interstate N Pkwy Sandy Springs, GA 30328 and end at Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area: Paces Mill
3444 Cobb Pkwy Atlanta, GA 30339. I've done a lot of tubing and this is the best route, and it's very popular. It takes 3 hours. I've never heard of being able to rent only the life jackets, but it may be possible.
I go pretty often, so let me know if you have any other questions. Oh, and here's where you check if it's safe to go, but this is only an issue if it's been raining during the week.
EDIT: I just saw an even better deal for life jackets
Not a problem!
Welcome to Missoula! (or whenever you get here)
Be sure to grab an Intex and join all of us on the river this summer :)
My fiance have a couple of Intex River Runs.

Admittidly we haven't used them very much yet, but I've seen lots of other people use them and they tend to be the first thing that pops up when you google "floats for tubing". Lots of Amazon reviews claim they're pretty tough and can withstand even some of the tougher rapids Again, I'm a newbie here too, but when I was looking this up last year a lot of other message boards pointed towards these.
This is what we use have not had a Problem yet. The Head rest and Cup holders make it worth it. 4 rafts & Cooler $99.99 Those large ones are nice but you will get stuck in a few places and if you head into a tree your screwed. use the rope that comes with to tie them together also This is the best cooler raft we found the sevylor one is cheap, the lazy river one was too small for our cooler.
We do Huguenot Bridge to Pony Pasture regularly. Takes anywhere from 2.5 - 4 hours or so depending on water level. Just have to get out at Z-Dam. Also, we've been using this tube and its great, esp for $20

Honestly, I am pretty damn picky when it comes to tubing. There are a lot of ways for it to go south and be less than enjoyable and I am not about that life. What I would do if I were you (and when I am me on a new-to-me river) is find a livery that does tube rentals and do that for your first time out. What that does is usually puts you on a generally slow and shallow stretch of river that has been cleared of tube popping debris, lets you see if you like it, and, if it is just you and your kids, has the bonus of picking you up and taking you back to where you put in. Then you know for the next time and you buy this or this. We have both in our small flotilla and have used them dozens of times. Some extra pro tips: clip a life jacket to at least one of them so in case you do pop a tube you still have a way to float and pick up a cheap $1 plastic paddle from Goodwill if you ever see them, they are great for pushing off of potential obstacles.
edit- OR drive 2-ish hours to u/tipsycup’s kayak and tube livery and I will handle it all for you! F-r-e-e, plus keto boat snacks!
Don't buy a shitty walmart float. Just buy a good Intex tube, they are $18:

Much better quality, two cup holders, a headrest, a good valve, thicker plastic. Cheaper to buy this than to pay for one tube rental.

Color: Blue|Verified Purchase
I HAD A GREAT TIME IN THIS TUBE
I was also admittedly drunk, but whatevs. The river was hella low, and i got stuck on some rocks several times, but this tube was like "AWW NAW HELL NAW" and i just scootched right over top of all them rocks and sticks and nonsense. The cupholders and handles were perfect for my can o' wine and my Nalgene o' Bootlegger. Not gonna lie, I threw up in the river, but I don't blame the tube. A few people had other brands of tubes, and their tubes popped, but luckily, i had brought an extra one of these already inflated. Ironically, these were the same people who were dissin on these vinyl tubes because "canvas wrapped is sooooo much better." WHERE IS YOUR CANVAS GOD NOW??
I don't know where the tubes are now, i think they might have gotten thrown into a bonfire, but if i ever feel like pukin in a river again, this will be my method of flotation. It inflated and deflated super fast, but it was bulky to carry back to the pick-up point.
Final word -- If you need a tube: BUY THIS JENK RIGHT HERE

I've been thinking about this for a little now and this is probably how I'd approach it:
I'd get a single piece of pipe however tall you want it. The first types that come to mind are galvanized fence posts, galvanized conduit or even metal plumbing pipes. I would then use something like a 5 gallon bucket filled with cement and place the pipe in the center of it so it could cure it set up. Kind like this but as tall as you'd want it. Then I would grab something similar to this that would become the mount for each target. I would use a thumb screw and a nut through the opening so you could slide them up and down as you wish. Then grab some sort of tubing or pipe to slide over the square ends. I would make these sections about 1/4-1/3 of the length of each target then slide something like a pool noodle or pipe insulation the remaining 3/4-2/3 to be the actual contact area. It makes sense in my head so hopefully this can help.
*Here's a crappy drawing of what's in my head - http://imgur.com/RowlM0V

I select super soakers as the weapon, and foam noodles as a backup.

Nerf guns are badass now. Back in the day, the coolest nerf weapon you could get was the bow and arrow
Rival Nemesis or a custom built HIR-icane that feeds from within the tank would be sweet for a good performance rapid firing high capacity secondary.
Thematically, the Vulcan would be hilarious on a tank though! belt fed machine gun. Modern, easy to purchase variants would be the Scorpion or the Enforcer

my opinion is don't bother with drums. Amazon sells 18 round stick mags for $12 and it comes with 18 darts. Stick mags take up less space so they are easier to carry than drums and you can tape them together if you wan't fast reloads. Also if you run an hvz rig with pouches you can fit stick mags in them.

Pwn.
That little white one on the left is OP AF. Seriously, if anyone reads this and needs a cheap nerf gun for their kids, that's the one. Three bullet load, a quick pull to charge it..... it has a surprising amount of power. I got two of them for my daughters last Christmas and my brother and I (both 30 plus) had a 3 hour war while my 90 year old grandpa casually dodged bullets on the couch.
We got them a bow this year, and it works surprisingly well... but the quick re-load of that little white gun still trumps all.
Here... I don't work for nerf, but I will plug a solid product.
omg...I play this game too often to NOT have one. Literally looking online right now for a mini one that can fit in the box
Edit: Literally just bought This nerf gun, I'll test it out in 2 days to see how it fits in the box. I would actually make my first box insert ever if I need to to make this work.
im gonna make one of these out of this

You know what adults really love at things like this? Shit they actually would use and not throw away. Like a cast iron pan, or a chef's knife (side note: I wouldn't buy that personally but it's the best looking one I can find for $25). I still have a blanket that I got from a White Elephant a few years ago. Doesn't match a thing in my house, but it's comfy and comes in handy all the time.
For the kids, and adults honestly, I'd recommend a nerf gun (expect to remember people getting shot with it the entire rest of the party), Jenga, or a mini helicopter.
Even if a kid gets stuck with a cast iron pan you know their parents are going to give them twenty bucks for it to make em happy.
BYOG, dont scrimp on the ammo, and bring some socks-tucked-in-socks, because those are grenades.
This is a good basic sidearm, $12: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DW1JT5G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_5yDQDbSFA5FR4
If you only do pistol, take two. By late-week, one will not cut it.

You can do whatever you want, I saw someone bring a gatling nerfgun. The guys that brought me had arsenals in boxes, looking like rambo with ammo bandoliers, shotguns, full autos, (sock) grenades... and by the end of the week, they were among the few living. Come prepared, yall, especially in later days when there’s more zombies.

It's not an official destiny gun, but I picked up a couple of these of the shelf at Target for like 15 bucks and they look and feel remarkably similar to Destiny's handcannons:

They have a pull back hammer and everything. Only improvement would be if the bullet cylinder was in the back instead of the front but for the price it alright. Convinced most of my office to pick these up, it's kinda like the wild west (or early 2015 crucible) here now lol, neon green nerf darts when you least expect them.
Nerf is already capitalizing on the genre's popularity, why not TWD?

Don't know how to embed URLs, sorry.
It comes in bright red and blue, like the BoomCo skins in Guardians. I did the paint job myself with matte black and gray spray paint.
Unfortunately the darts aren't fired through the barrel, there's an opening between the barrel and the flashlight/handguard. So it might be a bit wonky to install, unless you cut out the AR's barrel and slot in the M4 there.
Just grabbed the ODST Magnum and the red MA5. The AR is 30% off on amazon.

Like the disorient punch effect. That'd be pretty funny- I'm picturing something that works like the tractor cannon but looks more like this that "poots" disorient gas at an enemy at short range. The catalyst could make you immune.

Here's the product for reference
Maverick
good construction, easy to work with since there's lots of extra room inside, and for aesthetics it looks like a giant magnum revolver no matter what you do to it, so little decoration is needed.
Parts - other nerf guns for little replacements that break, most have interchangeable parts. The hardware store is the best bet for springs and rods. I recommend any tight aluminum "pull" spring. Do remember that if you heavily upgrade the spring you will need to reinforce most of the levers and screws or replace them with stronger ones.
biggest performance tip - remove the air restrictor. It's a penny size round piece of plastic in the shape of a peace sign located in the interior of gun at the base of the barrel, it limits air flow intentionally and removing it improves performance by about 50%. if it is built into the barrel you must drill or cut it out, but be sure to do so EVENLY or else it will impede accuracy.
Awesome! We purchased a pair of these, along with some whistler ammo.
I highly suggest you buy some cheap pistols and toss them to your friends, after the ambush. This makes sure your friends have a method of retaliation! Nerf wars are much better with two sides!
P.S. I'm 26 and I am now trying to convince my friends to purchase Nerf Guns...

Was your inspiration possibly a nerf gun?
It just a little bit reminds me of the Nerf Maverick that I had when I was a kid
Oh, yeah, and she loves water balloon fights too.
This is what she has now: Maverick
This is what we have: Longstrike CS-6 / Vulcan EBF-25
She hates that she can't 'prime' the gun, and that we always have to for her. So we were thinking something smaller and easier to fire. I will definitely look into your recommendations, thank you so much.
One of these. If you've got one, you always need another
What if I told you for only 10 dollars you too can have your very own

Something like this but add a charge of gunpower to the end of the cylinder and a burst disc before the marshmallow.
How about a marshmallow gun but the marshmallow is cannabis-infused?

I didn't know the trick about sitting on the bulge for even inflation. Cool!
Here's the one I got a couple years ago which I absolutely love.
I have one of these. It's pretty high quality and still cheap compared to renting from a company. The only complication is that you need two cars to coordinate rides. My friend also has one of these which lets us bring along a boatload of drinks and snacks.
If you stick with that brand, they have a great locking system to attach everyone together.
No problem. A few of my friends have this tube by the same manufacturer as the other. It's $20 but has significantly thicker material (felt like the same stuff as a whitewater raft), cupholders, and a net across the bottom you can sit on rather than fall through. Have fun!
Camo-netting makes great shade and lets most of the wind blow through, so you're much less likely to suffer grommet failure and flapping tarp.
Attach it to something very solid on your vehicle and use something to protect your vehicle's finish if the ropes touch it (or might touch it). Some of the guys in our camp wrap the ropes in pool noodles for that reason.
mudclub is right. Don't waste valuable shade by putting a yurt under it.
Pick up some foam pool noodles, slit them down the side lengthwise and wrap the crib rails?
Amazon: Pool Noodles
As someone who lives in the UK, I don't enjoy the same ironclad protections that prevent the 3 letter agencies from abusing national secruity letters to spy on US citizens.
All the patriotic bullshit aside, I believe Russia would leverage/extort a private company in their jurisdiction if they thought the end result was in their national interest. I also believe the US would do exactly the same.
But I seriously doubt that the security services of either country would target a typical SMB. Lets say the American company who manufactures pool noodles uses Kaspersky. The risk of the FSK using Kaspersky to compromise their network is close to 0.
For "normal" companies, Kaspersky is a solid AV choice...you could do a lot worse. It's decent at stopping malware threats in the real world and it's central management is not horrible. That's better than most AV solutions.
If you are in that super rare breed of company that'd be an interest to a foreign nation state, then sure following this DoD advice totally makes sense.
I bought two Nerf Stampede ECS guns today and I'm trying to sort out their situation on Amazon. There seem to be two different listings for them and, as far as I can tell, they're the same model. 1 and a 2. Which should I list under? They're going for between 45-65 on eBay so I'm really trying to sort out this Amazon nonsense.
I also got my hands on some Cars color changing cars (two styles of Lightning, one DJ, one Flo), which are selling for over $100 apiece but I'm trying to see whether the price will keep going up if I wait. So this is more of a "help me decide when to sell this" matter.
You mean the Stampede
coool
I like that zombies can be a threat individually and as a group. And I like that they eat people and turn their victims into members of their ranks. Delightfully nasty.
Betcha'd like this bad boy
My favorite zombie movie is Dead Alive. It's wonderfully campy, yet disgustingly gory. Brilliant.
*I am sick too :( because I am a teacher and work in a cesspool of germs and disease :)
I recently bought the Nerf "Stampede" from Amazon. It was something like $30 and has clips for the ammo, and it is fully automatic. Looks like the price has gone up
I don't know if this sort of thing is good for kids, but it's a ton of fun for adults. Definitely far beyond what we had when I was a kid. If you want to get some educational value out of it, disassemble it and let your kids figure out how it works.
I was expecting some crappily designed system for just barely getting the darts out of the barrel, but myself and a couple engineering friends were very impressed with how carefully it was designed and put together. If you let your kid take it apart and modify it, they would definitely learn a lot.
Just gonna leave this here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003H9MTJ6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_AnUFybH8NQV94

It's a Nerf N-Strike Vulcan EBF-25 Dart Blaster. With that many names, it has to be awesome!

Ok, apologies for the length of this post, but I want to give you multiple options and reasons for them.
Loadout 1 - Flywheels
Target
Rapidstrike Holiday Bundle - Normally I would recommend a stryfe as a starter blaster over this, because the rapidstrike usually needs some level of modding to reach it's potential, but since the holiday bundle comes with 2 18 clips rather than 1, I feel that since you're essentially getting the rapidstrike and 2 clips for the same cost as a stryfe and 2 18 clips then it warrants looking at. Should you prefer the smaller form of the stryfe and the semi auto rather than full auto, then you can get that and 2 more of the 18 dart clips linked below from amazon.
Hammershot - If you want a secondary, this is the way to go in my opinion, since you can use it with one hand and it just is a great platform.
$60~ Shipped
Narrowbase
Nmag Clip Holder - These clip holders are fantastic and not super bulky, giving you quick and easy access to your clips while wearing a belt. Certainly an investment, but a worthwhile one.
Belt Loop Adapters - Same as the clip holders, but for your hammershot.
Belt Loop Adapters - These are to use your clip and hammershot holders on your belt, meaning you don't need to buy a molle platform. Choose size according to belt width.
$70~ Shipped
Amazon
[Extra Clip](http://www.amazon.com/N-Strike-Elite-18-Dart-Quick-Reload/dp/B0083TXZCA/ref=sr_1_20?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1421366408&sr=1-20&keywords=nerf
) - Having extra clips is near essential to avoid having to constantly stop and reload your clip. Since the Holida Rapidstrike comes with 2, another clip on top of that puts you at 3 which is a decent start.
$11~ Shipped
Ebay
Koosh Darts - These are the go to darts for affordable and effective darts. They're more accurate than elite streamlines, but you might encounter some that have quality issues. Overall the price and accuracy is worth the occasional bad dart.
$20~ Shipped
Total - $161~
I know that's a little over what you listed, if you needed to be firm on the $150, you could drop the hammershot and holster, pick up another clip and a single clip holder from Narrowbase and I think that should be closer to the $150 mark.
Loadout 2 - Springer
Amazon
Rampage - The rampage is a good springer platform to start with, and the extra ammo capacity is always a plus.
[Extra Clip](http://www.amazon.com/N-Strike-Elite-18-Dart-Quick-Reload/dp/B0083TXZCA/ref=sr_1_20?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1421366408&sr=1-20&keywords=nerf
) - Same reasons as loadout 1 except buying 2 this time rather than one.
$52~
Blastersmiths UK
MkI Battle Belt - This is in my opinion a good molle platform since it has built in clip holders, with molle space you can build on. Also since it isn't a full vest it isn't as bulky or restrictive.
Large Dump Pouch - Something that I wasn't able to squeeze into the other loadout, and was less necessary because the NMAGS can serve as a storage for used clips as well. Basically this just gives you a place to quickly drop used clips when switching out. This is more necessary for this loadout because you have the drum that comes with the rampage you need somewhere to drop.
Molle Attachment Bars - These are used to attach your dump pouch to your battle belt or molle platform of choice.
$75~
Ebay
Koosh Darts - Same as the first loadout.
$20~
Total - $147~
This loadout has some different gear than the first because I wanted you to see two different ways you could go with a loadout, so don't be afraid to take aspects from one to apply to the other, it's all about finding what works for you, this is just what I would go with if I had that kind of budget, because I feel like having good gear is just as important as a good blaster, because having reliable and quick or easy access to your clips is important in games, especially HvZ, which I have no idea if that's something you intend to play or not. Anyways, I hope this gives you a good starting point! If you have any questions on why I picked certain things, let me know!
you can get a Stryfe and 2 18 round clips for 35.97 on amazon.

I would put my vote down for dual wielding Triads: 2x $7, tie a string between the priming handles, congrats you can now fire six darts in less than two seconds, no batteries required and reloads faster than anything mag-fed. It's also a crowd-pleaser--the combo is so simple but always gets the most attention.
alright jeanine, i'm picking up this weapon ASAP. it's time to stop "pussyfooting around" indeed. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009T45X82?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Neat contest... Happy belated bday! I need to find more fun cheap items for my WL but this will have to do for now. It's way more fun to give, but I do like a good contest. womb liberation!
Are you letting the motors spin up all the way before firing?
Generally the people that can fire their Stryfes very quickly have done modifications to give the blaster a lot more torque, things like motor swaps and voltage mods.. those things don't really belong in a 4 year old's blaster. :P Seconding what /u/foam_data was saying, you should take out that skirt and the unnecessary locks.
If that doesn't sound like something you want to do, you could swap to less complicated blasters- springers like the Roughcut, or Triad would be great for a 4 y/o. There are decent non-Nerf offerings, as well.
Thanks for the contest!
I would really love these
Also I think that you would enjoy this!

> I haven't been able to find it in any stores here in Canada.
Clearly you didn't read that fully, or don't understand the difference between shopping and currency in the US and Canada... We typically have a more limited selection of things, and not everyone ships here, and when they do we pay more taxes and import fees to get it across the border.
The only two offered through Amazon.ca (Canadian site) are: $59.96 CAD and $54.00 CAD before taxes (13%), and neither can deliver before Christmas.
The only one through Amazon.com (US site) who ships to Canada is this one, and after shipping and import fees to get here in time for Christmas it will be $45.85 USD, or $63.24 CAD. Even with regular 8-16 day shipping it's $27.59 USD ($38.05 CAD) and that won't be here until well after the new year.

I've got an even better idea: an Airzooka, so you don't have to worry about making a mess. Or just a precharged tank of compressed air.

You can get one of these, just have your kid sell a bunch of wrapping paper/chocolate/popcorn when the time comes... or spend $18.

Cats respond better to positive reinforcement. But if there is no possible way to do that and you really need a cat to stop doing something, try an Airzooka. They aren't loud and just shoot a blast of air that doesn't hurt anything but does scare cats.

I went through your comment history for a while but I couldn't find anything for either bonus :(
Uh...what?
In case anyone is curious:
The nerf gun he is using is the Elite Strongarm.
Nerf Elite Strongarm Blaster, if anyone is curious. Only like $10, and powerful as hell.

I like to keep it simple and reliable. This pistol is great and hits like a champ. Plus cheap as hell.
Then you're going to need to do what I just did and buy two of these:

It looks like it is this
It's pretty expensive tho.
You can get them shipped to Aus through Amazon, I think I paid like $30 AUD total for mine.

30AUD with shipping isnt that bad considering exchange rates

Ok this is dumb... In the US it's $9 but here there's a £30 and even a £40 version whaaat!!?

Bam! You just snagged yourself a good, modded nerf blaster for $17.
The Recon MK II is on sale right now on Amazon for $4.53, though that doesn't come with any magazines or accessories.
Have you considered the Doomlands Double Dealer? I heard it never jams. /s
I'd blame the worn darts, worn magazine, or maybe you are short-stroking the prime.
If you plan on ditching the Retal, you might want to go ahead and try removing the AR to see if that helps with worn dart reliability. Just remember not to dry fire.
As for a replacement and cheap, the Recon MKII core blaster is on Amazon right now for only $8.08 w/ Prime. It is compatible with your current barrel and stock. Might want to snag some koosh darts too if you want to try to see if that is the issue.
You could have just bought this

Iron sights with stock blasters are kind of unreliable just because the standard Elite darts aren't very good. Stock blaster accuracy depends more on the dart than the blaster.
The Accustrike line has heavier darts that are more accurate, but they will reduce your ranges slightly. A quick search for waffle tip Nerf darts on Amazon or Adventure Force waffle darts gets you a TON of darts at similar quality to Accustrike for a lot cheaper.
If you like the Disruptor, get it. It has better performance (slightly more power) than the Falconfire. People saying the Falconfire is more accurate might be seeing an improvement in accuracy because of the better darts and the fact that you just don't have as much range.
[buy these] (https://www.amazon.com/EKIND-Design-Waffles-N-strike-AccuStrike/dp/B01M3Z0XZ4)
Had to look for a bit, but this is them

Box says bio degradable on the side, but since I didn't buy em, I have no more info than that
E-kind waffle darts are good too! No one mentions them but they work better in blasters like the infinus than adventure darts for me

Besides the ones from Walmart you've already been linked to (also sold at Target), there are a bunch of options - starting with full length dart designs:
For short darts (where I stop having to put "accurate" in quotes):
Really though, if you have access to a Walmart or Target, and don't need to fire full length darts out of a sealed breech system, get the Adventure Force/Dart Zone 200-packs - you pay almost as little per dart as you do with Accufakes, for a product with very good glue and essentially identical performance.

People opposing WBC should all buy an Airzooka. They're quite effective at causing non-violent annoyance.
Alternatively you can make even larger air cannons using a variety of materials.
cheapest way? make your own makeshift softracks for cheap. go to walmart, or kmart, or wherever and get a pool noodle and a couple of racheting tie downs. cut the pool noodle in half, and put the two pieces in between the board and your roof. put the tie-downs over the board and through the passenger compartment and cinch them down.

Who's selling it, then? I was under the impression that Amazon had to be directly involved for it to be eligible for Prime shipping.
Get a pair of Stryfes. They're good, cheap, and easy for any rug rat to use. They don't even have to worry about which way they load the darts in!

If socializing does not work, after you've clearly asked them to leave, annoy them away by investing in annoyance devices like an AirZooka (http://www.amazon.com/Can-You-Imagine-2990-AirZooka/dp/B00006IJIC), bubble guns, squirt guns, or water balloons.
EDIT: Nerf guns may also work. Just go into your local toy store and purchase whatever is cheap and shoots cheap projectiles. Airsoft guns may also be a possibility, but those can actually be dangerous and might give them ammunition for litigation.
