That made me chuckle more than it probably should.

The bomb with the eyes I made or the regular logo? If you have any idea let me know, I finalize it and I can prepare a file that any print shop can make a sticker out of.

Congrats to the little man! Nerf guns are such fun. I bought myself a six shooter revolver and it’s my favourite toy to shoot the kids with 
They get to shoot back with a 12-shot revolver and a magazine fed rifle looking thing. Youngest one just walks through the hits like its nothing, just wants to get her licks in but the oldest one is terrified of taking a hit. How is Obi under fire?

He has got better. I’m a big believer in repeated hits to harden them up. His sister is invincible

@Victork2 Happy birthday to Obi!! I hope he gets to shoot nerf darts from the driving Humvee at some point. Tell him he looks menacing with that bipod from the rear!
@schurem I did the same with my younger brothers and the kids in the street. Same gun, from the sounds of it. Loved it, having a smaller clip and no semi-auto means you need to make your shots count. It felt more consistent in aim than some of the fancier full-auto guns with electric motors that my brothers had.

Happy Birhday Obi, I hope you had fun at the party.
@Freak Those nerf pistols are easily modded. In mine the ‘air restrictors’ were the first to go, followed by a stronger spring - easily doubled the range.
Next step was to mod the ‘darts’ by filling up underneath the cap with a resin that set rock hard.
Gave them a little extra sting. 
Nerf wars were a feature of one of the office places I worked at… Up until the day that the Chief of Army and our Director walked in on one…

Careful, without the air restrictors they can actually hit pretty hard- my family once had a little scare after a little one got shot in the eye. Eyepro became the rule of the day after that, which sadly defeats the spontaneity of a nerf ambush.
Now that’s just cruel

This is normally where I would say " 'MURICA! ", but… I don’t know the Aussie version. Is there one?

VEGAMITE ? I don’t know, seems appropriate though.

I was going to say, yeah probably not a good idea for the kiddies, but adults… Ah, who am I fooling 
Following is an excerpt from “The last battle for the 5th Floor”
The opposing armies faced each other across the no-mans-land of the elevator foyer. We had received advanced warming of a raid on our morning tea by [redacted] Section and were waiting in ambush.
Who would blink first? Suddenly I head the chunk, chunk, chunk of a belt fed nerf opening up and the whiir of flywheels spinning up in battery powered guns - a sound that chills me to this day. Over the general mayhem; punctuated by the cries of “I’m hit” and “Medic” nobody heard the ding of the arriving elevator.
Stepping into a maelstrom of nerf darts and grenades was our Director (2 Star Major General) accompanied by the Chief of Army who was paying a surprise visit in order to thank us on our professionalism and hard work during a recent crisis…
Our Director did not see the funny side, but CA was observed departing with a wry smile on his face.
From that day forth, Nerf products were banned from the building.

Usually reserved for football crowds and drunk bogans but a chant of “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie” would be the closest.

I’m not sure that’s true, otherwise Tasmanians would be the most normal of all
