It would appear not. <br /><br />I can only plead that having played with them quite a bit, they have the following things going for them. <br /><br />They're cheap, they're available and the average gamer is an awful shot with one. They have worked so far. <br /><br />My NERF guns are all of the derringer or six shooter type and the number of shots that can be fired is limited. I'm also considering instituting a rule where by players are granted a limited amount of ammunition at the beginning of the game and don't get any more. <br /><br />Now that could be interesting.

That's a bit of an armaments upgrade from HGW and his spring-loaded cannons - are these matters subject to some kind of Little Geneva Convention? My son has a fast action repeating nerf gun which must surely be outlawed - might as well use a high-pressure hosepipe.MSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.com
