FREAKIN’ HUGE NERF GUN

A former NASA engineer may rocket to fame with his newest creation: the world’s largest Nerf gun. Mark Rober said he built the supersized Nerf toy mostly to survive in the workplace. “People have these Nerf dart wars at work,” Rober explained on a YouTube video showing off his handiwork. “In an effort to keep people from picking on me, I decided to create the world’s largest functional Nerf gun.” Regular Nerf darts are too small for Rober’s ginormous Nerf gun so he makes his own using plungers and pool noodles. The gun is powered by a paintball canister capable of shooting 3,000-pounds-per-square-inch. That’s a little too powerful for Rober’s needs so he’s modified the gun so each blast of air pressure that fills the gun can shoot off five shots before it needs a refill. The massive darts shoot out of the gun at around 40 mph and can travel nearly 400 feet, able to break sheets of glass and smash watermelons.

* In case you were wondering why we’re not on Mars yet.
* Personally, I was hoping for a Frisbee big enough to ride on.
* This really dispels that geeky engineer image, doesn’t it?
* I bet he can’t wait to show it to his girlfriend. Okay, we know he doesn’t have a girlfriend.
* Sounds like somebody’s going to be making a trip to Human Resources.
* Hell, it sounds like the whole department needs to go to Human Resources.
* How stupid. Now you know why the space aliens haven’t contacted us yet.
