I feel like the musket is the most nerf-like firearm ever. Single shot, long reload, large caliber, inaccurate, very short effective range, etc. So you can reenact 17th-18th century battles with them with reasonably high historical accuracy and fun!

That’s pretty cool, man! I’ve made Nerf potato cannons with pvc before, and it’s pretty similar, but the way you designed the rod to work as a pump is really smart! I’ll have to try this at some point, because those were insane numbers

[@CursedLink666]

Fun fact - The Austrian military had an air-rifle back in the late 1700s. Called the "Girardoni Air Rifle". Invented in 1779 by Bartolomeo Girardoni, the air rifle used tanks of compressed air that were filled using a hand-pump. Soldiers hated carrying around the pumps, so they made a pump cart that held pre-filled airtanks and a giant pump. It was a logistical nightmare and was too expensive. Lewis and Clark used one during their expedition. I suppose they thought it was usefull since it didn't need gunpowder.

Draw my Nerf pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the five year old child using an adventure force blaster right in the face. I have to resort to the Nerf cannon mounted at the top of the hill loaded with Nerf Rival shot, "Tally ho lads" the Rival shot shreds apart into an ineffectual spray, the sound from the air tank I modded in causes the ref to blow the whistle and call for time-out. Fix foam bayonet and charge the terrified rapscallions. They get butt-hurt waiting on their parents to arrive since I killed them while the referee was arriving. Just as Hasbro intended.
