Nerf Gun Wars


If the friends and I are to do parkour together, adding nerf guns to the mix can only up the game. The moment we latched onto the idea in January, we knew this wasn't going to be played out at the beach or in the parks. This is going to be a full-on war at someone's house where no one will get arrested!

I'm most certainly NOT going to run around with a nerf gun screaming. That is so dumb when this bunch of us is equipped with a more athletic inclination. We scream at paintball of course. That hurts man. But in our nerf gun wars, the fun is to use it for parkour and play out mafia wars, sorta. Once in a bit, we throw in precious 'treasures' as the final mission objective, or gems to be collected along the way. I've gotten a few solid bottles of Highland Park 25 y.o. Woooohoooo.

Since January, we've all been zealously acquiring a solid collection of guns and stocking up on ammunition for the weekly wars. It's been such a hoot that we've had to implement ground rules of only using guns to fire shots and not bash the other person WITH the gun or use the guns as a weapon to fight the other. Hehehehehe. I'm guilty of that too! I've stuck out a leg to trip the girlfriend who was cleverly anticipating it somewhat, so she did a little leap and cleared that. I had to run away damn fast before I got hit by this indignant woman yelling at me.

Parkour has never been this fun. Flipping over a balcony with a gun in hand is woahhhyyyy unsteady! We've embarrassingly tripped over our own Long Strikes, Long Shots and Raider Rapid Fires. The Barricade is just unwieldy, but very effective. I've managed to destroy my Raider and had to get a replacement.

After each session, we cool off by retrieving the ammo. For all those lost, they'll pop up again. For whatever else necessary, we buy and replenish. We only play at 3 houses, so the ammo stash has been building up quite nicely. We've a very admirable arsenal too. Quite a workout. Good cardio, good stretch.

I've reloaded. BRING.IT.ON.

I don't know how you do it.
Never tried parkour before.
Think it might end up killing me within the first 2 minutes.
I got tired just reading the word "parkour".
I'm all for guns... shooting from a distance.
