Propane powered nerf cannon can launch a foam dart with enough force to dent a whiteboard

Dan Spangler of MAKE demonstrates a simple cannon made from PVC pipe that uses fuel from a BernzOmatic propane torch to shoot a Nerf dart at damage-causing velocity

Kid pulls his own loose tooth with a Nerf crossbow

It must have been pretty loose to begin with to come out with the momentum of a Nerf crossbow bolt, but this is still a pretty badass way to get rid of those pesky baby teeth.

And the winner of MAKE’s Gadget Freak Design Contest: A heat-seeking NERF turret

Rick Prescott outfitted a Nerf® Vulcan EBF-25TM foam dart shooting machinegun with an array of Devantech TPA81 thermopile sensors, all controlled by an ATmega168, to create this wicked Aliens-style heat-tracking autocannon:

An idea sparked in my mind one day while walking the toy gun isle in a store with my kid and later that evening learning of the workings of a thermopile array while surfing the internet. The result is this infrared seeking sentinel which joins a realistically priced infrared sensor to a realistically operatable Nerf® machine gun to create a slightly less deadly yet still highly deterring automated machine. Personally I have grand plans to deploy the infrared seeking sentinel facing the entrance of my work cubical in order to speed interaction with less desirable visitors.

Guy combines a NERF gun with a R/C toy truck to create THE NERF TANK

I wish this was a better video, and I wish it was more than just the tank shooting darts at his wall in his shitty bedroom, but sometimes geniuses don’t always have video editing skills or live away from home. Still, I’d love to have something like this rolling through the office to maintain order.
