Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Custom NERF Rifle

Man, That just looks so fun to do. I really do want one, but don't have the time to do this with school and pet and babysitting. If you want, I can so pay you to do one. I want to see the Nerf Raptorstrike done in a black with red and yellow stripes.

Adam Savage is the definition of a Professional Child. He’s dreamy like a child playing with his toy guns, but with the experience to build one himself.

[@MrArcadia2009]

He was very much like that in the show. That's why he's in his own personal element, the cave/shop!!

[@jthebk3864]

Adam whether you read this or not I want to thank you. I lost my foot in a motorcycle accident and every single day i was in the hospital I watched mythbusters. They were replaying all the episodes and it kept me in good spirits watching you and the other mythbusters invent things and bust myths. Again thank you

Weird, this exemplifies bad editing to me. The constant cutting away from what Adam's doing is very annoying, as soon as the camera guy finds the focus, it cuts away. After seeing the whole thing, I still have hardly seen any of the details of the build.

It's funny that they think that they can revive their biggest show ever just like that, but the problem is, that show was popular because of the hosts. I'm willing to bet that this new show won't even be close to as popular as the original

[@spectrHz]

Honestly no, I think mythbusters served a great purpose when it did, but I think the way we consume media has changed so much that it is kinda no longer needed, or at least that is how it feels to me. I actually enjoy these videos with Adam 100 times more than mythbusters, but that might just be because I hate TV in general.

Haha, but id say more like the martha stewart/tim allen lol . Bob ross was a painter that made painting accessible to every1. I grew up watching him sunday afternoons on pbs in the 90s. I would record his show via vhs. Then rewatch, & paint along. Bob ross expanded upon Bill Alexanders method of wet on wet and brush stroke techniques. Simplifying the process. Not paying attn to detail. Adam has expresses his talents using a variety of creations. Apparently, bob ross stated that his son was a better painter than he as he grew up learning from dad. Imagine bob created nerf guns too! Whoa, they shoot rainbows and coniferous needles!

They didn't put it in because it would show how to modify a nerf gun, which could hold the channel liable if an event were to occur using a the same modification

[@fatalsniper1393]

Just as a suggestion for anyone wanting to do this to their own nerf guns, after scotch padding, make sure to wash the parts with warm soapy water to remove all dust, dirt, grease, grime, etc. Then I strongly recommend using krylon fusion paint as a base coat. It adheres beautifully to the plastic, and makes the paint job last much longer.

[@bathannellhouse826]

thx m8

[@benjamina4432]

Fatal Sniper 13 instead of krylon, try duplicolor vinyl dye from the automotive store. works wonders for a base. sticks to everything with no sanding ( still recommended though) and is very durable

[@fatalsniper1393]

Ill give it a try on my next build.

[@DutchBrony]

when i paint plastics, i always use a plastic primer. when you use it, use 2 to 3 thin layers. after that you can put any paint on it. (check the instructions of your primer which paints are suitable)

[@fatalsniper1393]

Hi Dutch, the krylon is a plastic primer. Works wonderfully.

[@wumingkkk]

I rather he used black than rust....

[@Malidictus]

@Harvey Specter: Yeah, but it ends up looking like mud... Or worse. I'm with Lunartist on this one - a soldier would maintain his gun. There's little you can do in the field about scraped paint or worn metal or the various dings and scratches that gear picks up in regular use, so that's fine. But this amount of caked rust, mud and literal crap - which is what it ends up looking like - just seems like the thing spent a few years at the bottom of a lake before someone fished it out and tried using it. I'm not against weathering and ageing of a prop - it gives the item a sense of authenticity. However, good wear tells the story of how the item was used to wear as it has - smooth edges around harness hooks, worn matches where fingers usually stand, etc. What we see on the prop here is more than anything artificial disrepair, which I'm personally not a fan of. Not knocking Adam's skill in model-making in the slightest, of course. That's still an amazing amount of work to do in a few hours. It's just... I don't think the "rust" adds to the weapon's appearance, is all.

How to weather like Adam Savage. Step 1: Get a 3 years old child. Step 2: Give the 3 years old a brush and a copper/brown acrylic paint. Step 3: Put the object you want to weather near the child. Step 4: Leave the child unattended and watch from afar. Step 5: Wait till the child paints on the object. Step 6: Rush to the object to clean it before the paint dries. Step 7: Inspect the object's weathering. Repeat Step 3 if necessary. Step 8: Take the brush and paint from the child if you don't want your living room to be weathered. Congratulations! you now have an exact replica of Adam Savage's weathering technique.

This was the video that taught me how to spray paint stuff properly. Instead of just doing steady streams, I now do it in short bursts like he does here. I find it leads to a lot less "pooling" of paint and gives a nice, even finish.

i picked up a huge scope from a garage sale for $10.00 and put it on the same nerf gun for laughs. this is a serious scope too. the guy i bought it from said he had it on a .50 cal black powder rifle that rusted up after putting it up without a wipe down on a trip up in Alaska. by the time he got back to Texas, the barrel was corroded and he just didn't want to chance firing it. fantastic job on your build!

The Longstrike has, IIRC, poor internals without serious modification, and painting the magazine means it won't be as smooth to reload. I think he picked the Longstrike because it's one of the more attractive blasters, not for any performance reasons.

Its cause they actually are blasters, it's just a misconcpetion to call them guns because guns are the actual lethal weapons

[@diamondcreepah]

So anyway, I started blastin'

[@austinb192]

​@@dodsonbolles6198 There is no misconception except the one you have. A gun is any ranged weapon that uses compressed air to discharge a projectile. "Nerf Blasters" is a trademarked version of a Hasbro nerf gun. The reason is because "Nerf Gun" is a generic term used to describe any foam dart firing weapon.

[@dodsonbolles6198]

@@austinb192 except you also said nerf blasters are "weapons", but they are toy blasters. Another thing is nerf blasters do use compressed air to fire, but that's not the case with firearms. Firearms use a hammer to ignite gunpowder causing an explosion inside the gun to fire a bullet

[@austinb192]

Doodus the explosion of the gunpowder inside a shell causes a pneumatic propulsion system to move the bullet. That’s what a gun is, a pneumatic propulsion moving an object. It’s the same reason why they call pneumatic nailer a “nail gun”.
