But those days are not over it seems, Rejoice! For these plastic masterpieces are more popular in the past few years than ever with the help of DIY geeks around the internet modding and posting their own brilliant hacked versions of the guns – showing off everything from LED lights to larger dart carrying capacities to even farther shooting ranges! Custom foam dart blasters really have taken on a community of their own of people doing diy hacks and mods to the guns and toys for fun (or for profit! You can actually buy a lot of these on sites like ebay, or contact individual artisans for custom jobs!). Many an hour was spent playing nerf war with friends in the backyard (and cleaning up all those little foam darts we left behind). As I look back on my fond childhood memories, easily one of the best were being outside (or inside) playing with toy guns, squirt guns, nerf guns, rubber band guns, fake laser guns that made noise, whatever kind of gun, I loved them.
