In recent years, NERF and other “foam blasters” have found an audience that’s a lot broader than just kids in the suburbs. Meet the kidults – adults who refuse to grow up. In parks, college campuses, football stadiums and shopping malls across the country, people are organizing “NERF-wars” for adults, nostalgic for their favorite childhood toy. On social media, so-called NERF “modifiers” show you how you can ‘upgrade’ your NERF blasters to make them look cooler and shoot harder and faster.

This the dopest shiz I dun seen
I'm the guy at 5:42 with the red shirt and GoPro haha. This event was super fun! We're trying to do a mall HvZ in Provo, UT in February as well!
We need more stuff like this because I feel like most adults got so wrapped in the cycle of nine to five work for someone else that we are all desperate for fun like this but can't admit it
Captain Xavier! Rad!
Dang, Alzo's clearly loving his job in this one. Great vid!
You see girls where your rejections lead men into? Shame on you.
this is BIZARRE
Fuckin love this
7:24 technical term exposure therapy for PTSD
Nerd aerobics
As weird as it seems, good on these guys. Everyone needs to bring out their inner kid as an adult. For me, it's baseball cards and hot wheels. My kids are dabbling In Airsoft so that's probably next
Remember, my friends… you don't stop playing when you grow old. You grow old when you stop playing.
Straight up got bolsters. Doing the emperors work
I just don’t see the appeal over airsoft or paintball other than affordability and pain amount however as someone who loves to promote sports like paintball airsoft and to an extent nerf i would say it’s great for absolutely everyone no matter your age weight height athleticism or sex it’s great for everyone to improve as people and as athletes
So much beautiful in the country
with the internet, we've forgotten how much fun it is to play with other ppl. and unlike paintball or airsoft, the barrier for entry to nerf is ridiculously low.
Thank you so much for making this, it makes it so much easier to explain to other potential members what my club (me and my gf made) is all about. AWESOME!
I don’t know about any of you but actually in my city we would have a Humans vs zombies event that would take place through out a weekend to even a couple weeks after the first couple were so popular. I was a young adult at the time. It really brought the whole city and even neighboring ones together. You would drive down the roads through out the city and just see groups of people that you can’t even call anything else but a militia. As much as people want to hate on the “nerdiness” of this and how much they hate facebook and social media. But to see hundreds if not thousands of people through out your city playing a game… it made me really appreciate it and will be something I will remember the rest of my life. Nerf… or nothin!
This is a wonderful example of how to express a love for “violence” in an absolutely non violent way.
The cringe is strong with these dorks.
Captain Xavier is a hero
After a day of listening to the same depressing news on TV, this report was a welcome respite. Well done, VICE News.
