    Hey, personally, i'd take getting hit in the jewels than in the face with that nerf.


    Ok, maybe not.

    Just because you shove a Nerf dart in the barrel doesn't really qualify it as a "Nerf gun". The gun is still a real gun, but now you're treating it like a blunderbuss.

    @Purple Dave: @Siba: Which is a figure I'm skeptical of. In a .45 cal black powder revolver, using 50 grains of powder and a 115 grain saboted projectile, you'll get about 1500 fps. With a Nerf dart? I don't think so.


    That being said, I'm still not going to let you stand fifteen feet away from me and point it at my balls.

    Here's my question. Up to what speed/velocity do they test NERF projectiles? B/c reading High speed ballistics photography just filled my head with NERF footballs being shot out of an air cannon are child analogs and car windshields/screens. Where are the Mythbusters and Timje Warp when I need them? They are my only hope!

    @Git Em SteveDave loves this guy->★: They freeze the nerf darts and then fire them at 1200 MPH at airplane windshields.

    @Segador: Eventually a E-mail comes from the China Factory which says:


    "Silly Americans, you must THAW your Nerf darts before firing them".

    Nice to see that we've graduated from LEGO to Nerf. Maybe in a few years, Gizmodo won't need to come with a warning about choking hazards.

    @OMG! Ponies!: I meant once the warning goes away. Aren't warning labels like kryptonite to people in the law biz?

    Chances are, if there's a warning, it's there because someone has sued about it. And even that doesn't stop the lawsuits.


    Negligent warning doesn't mean that the warning wasn't there; it may mean that it was worded right, worded strongly enough, or prominently placed.


    This message was brought to you by Mainway Industries, maker of fine children's toys such as "Bag of Glass". If it's Mainway, it's for kids.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Ah, so I was right that the reason it states in the NJ Drivers Manual "Do not grasp burning wires in your dashboard with bare hands" and "If train is approaching DO NOT stay in your vehicle" is b/c someone was stupid enough to do it.
