>>7349303> dubsNerf just isn't the same once you grow out of it, a magical quality that seems to fade once you get a bit bigger and realize how short-range they were. I got rid of my stockpile near the end of high school in a glorious stand with my best friend.
> high school> don't play with nerf, but arsenals are still in our homes> see a new bunch of kids playing out in the park one day> we get an idea> come back with all of our gear on, belt bandoleers, drum mags, multiple pistols, primaries and gadgets> immense amounts of cheap Chinese darts> challenge kids to a game, all (8-9?) of them vs. us two> they win, they keep our stuff> spend a few hours legitimately enjoying nerf again by blasting away kiddies who rushed us with their stock guns> pull them into ambushes in backyards and generally vietcong our way through the neighborhood> really autistic looking for two teenagers to be sprinting through the streets wearing milsurp and nerf shit and pretending to be operators > still most fun I've had in a while> kids don't give a shit about the dying part so they keep coming> we decide to end it all at our old grade-school, where we dodged in and out of the playground equipment and ran around the school blasting each other like back in the day> we let them surround us in the middle of the old playground> eventually they just keep firing even if we've hit them> never pick up a single dart> give them all of our nerf shit> go home and feel satisfied with the fun I had and the look on their faces when we gave them our modded kit
