This is for work, I swear

Looking for anyone who may want to get rid of a bundle of nerf guns their kids (or they!) don’t use any more… decent variety and quantity would be ideal.

Actual Nerf guns only please, no knock-offs

Immersive Experience development, we have one of the standalone buildings in Anson Court and the landlord wouldn’t take kindly to me throwing heavy implements at a wall for something we have coming up, so nerf darts are a good substitute for testing.

And it’s also important for the office to have a Nerf arsenal

Gis a job!

We had a home-made air rifle for testing the containment netting that was supposed to offer some protection from compressors that had a habit of self-dismantling.

It was actually a smooth-bore device, not truly rifled, as accuracy wasn't really an issue. It was, I think, 40mm diameter and the brass slugs were about 100mm long. These jobs were always a panic, so a remote firing system wasn't available, just a trigger valve on the 'gun' itself - this meant that it had to be fired by someone standing next to it, outside the building, the slug entering the test cell via a slightly open door. The slugs that got through the mesh would then rattle round in there for a while, bouncing off the sleeper-lined walls, although none ever found their way back out through the crack in the door.

It never bothered anybody at the time, but I suspect that it was worthy of some sort of firearm licence.

Several folks on here know what I do, happy to leave it there for no other reason than explaining the job sometimes gets tedious.
Like I said, circus master!

@Cue can you have virtual 'smash it up rooms' (can't think what there called), in reality you get to take your aggression out in these special rooms and literally 'smash them', I wondered if it was a virtual thing yet...

Ahh, we did a thing a couple of years ago with a venue that had one of those! (Our thing didn’t involve it though)

That seems like something I’m surprised hasn’t been done in VR, perhaps the catharsis wouldn’t be there without the feedback when you hit something though
