Nerf War!

Victor: Who cares? IT WAS FUN!

The youth group (about 5 members from middle to high school, somewhat including me) held a Nerf war at the church tonight, from 5 to 8, for a good 1 1/2 hours (took about an hour for them to set up the area with tables and such). I don't have modern Nerf guns that I could bring to be used in the event, did bring the three I got from 90's and early 2000's. They look good, but the performance is decent to awful. I haven't used them in years, just been on a shelf collecting dust.

It was fun, I was invited to go, personally I wasn't really sure if I wanted to... but then I thought "What the hell, I got nothing else to do and I DO need to get out more." So I went, had fun, ate pizza (2 and a half slices out of 4, 2 are big, 2 were small) with orange soda for the rest of the 30 minutes. The kids that were there played with my ol' fashion Nerf guns for awhile, till it was time to clean up and go home. They're still in my car, I'll put them back later... feel tired, and a bit sore--got a blister on my thumb by either gripping the gun too tight or part of the skin got caught in the reload tray.

Some of the guns wouldn't work right, either get jammed too easily or hard to use. Some I wasn't sure if they had ammo in them or not. The area wasn't very big either... make-shift barricades with tables and racks with the clothes still on them.
