Guns a squishing



Yeah, it's Nerf Wars time at Princeton again, and that means Springdale, Evendale, and all the Princeton communities have seen a rash of underclothed teenagers sneaking between houses, hiding behind bushes, and bombing test. If you're not familiar with Nerf Wars, just go with what I overheard one of our principals say about the game when asked what this Nerf thing was about, "It's a game country kids play."

Clearly, though, it's a game that isn't long for this world. See, Nerf is the past.

The future is far more technological than a stupid foam dart with a suction cup tip.

If you're fighting wars with Nerf, you might as well be chucking a sharpened stick or a rock or a giant bone at your fellow hairless apes.

You need to step up to the future of friendly warfare: Max Force and Xploderz.

See, MaxForce is way more frickin' modern. It's a gun made of paper pellets that are soaked in water and then fired. See, the future is pretty much just spitballs...





Or there's the even cooler Xploderz which is pretty much the same concept as MaxForce but with the paper bullets swapped out for sodium polyacrylate (or a similar polymer).





Either way, fancy shooters for the kidz these days. I love that the companies are taking something as simple as spit balls and diaper crystals and turning them into money making opportunities - and something that they can keep the kids buying for years rather than something stupid like Nerf guns where the bullets never run out.
