How To Hack a Nerf Vulcan to Fire 500 Rounds a Minute

The Nerf Vulcan is definitely awesome—but it is not as cool as it could be. Manapotions have developed a hack that adds an LED round counter and a 500 round-per-minute firing capacity.

In order to accomplish this feat, the guys from Manapotions increased the voltage to the firing motor using 2 x 9.6v battery packs. More juice equals a faster spinning motor. A faster spinning motor means that toy darts will come down on your enemies like rain. As an added bonus, they equipped the gun with a sweet LED round counter and a slick paint job. Seriously folks, this thing is like the A-bomb of office warfare. And the best part is that it is a cheap upgrade. Hit the link for complete instructions on how to do it yourself. [Manapotions]

For those of us who love to give our dolls more realistic props to play with, toy maker IxTEE Productions is putting out a series of 1:6 scaled guns that do everything from lighting up to shooting darts to squirting water.

Prototypes of the ray, dart and squirt guns made their debut at the A Weekend of Heroes Action Figure symposium in Glendale, California this weekend. No idea when these will be available or what they'll be priced, but they should appear on UniToyZone soon. And when that day comes, the inevitable epic battle between my Empire of Stuffed Animals and my Alliance of Action Figures won't be too far behind. [Tomopop]
