Adam Savage's One Day Builds: 1000 Shot NERF Blaster!

Adam picks up a NERF Rival Nemesis blaster, and upgrades it with a custom magazine to hold a THOUSAND soft plastic NERF balls. Watch as Adam builds the new magazine from scratch, uses kit-bashing to detail the blaster, and adds more upgrades like the bi-pod and laser. And to test this massive rig, Adam sets his sights on some prehistoric prey! Life finds a way!

To this day. Adam is STILL finding those little Nerf Balls.

[louisbizarrogotico]

This man has the potential to be the most sympathetic and gentle supervillain of all time

[reneep.]

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if Adam is still finding those little yellow balls around his work shop even now

Just some of the things I love about these videos:

7:04 I love that he leaves in the parts where he's just standing there and thinking, without actually "doing" anything. Sometimes I feel crazy when I have to just stare into space and think a project through, but that's where your brain is really turning gears and working the most.

9:56 similarly, he starts to pose a question, but actually answers it for himself while saying it out loud. It's cool to see how the brain works, and for some people just working through a problem out loud will solve it for them automatically.

34:14 how insanely psyched he is for this build 😆 nothing feels as good as finishing a really awesome project. I love this so much

The blaster looks fantastic! I love the offset sight mount!

Now everything is interesting to watch during quarantine..

17:44 “I’m just bypassing one of the safety mechanisms”

[ashineer]

Adam's maniacal laugh at 5:56 is all you need to understand the energy this man has and I absolutely adore it

[ijustrambo]

Friend: “Sooo what are you doing for a living?”
Me: “ummhh well... my boss wants me to get dressed in a dino costume and shoot on me with his home made guns”

[SkyNinja]

"RELOADING, COVER ME!"

ADAM! put your baking soda in a ketchup or other condiment squeeze bottle (think picnic red open top bottle, nothing fancy), point the nozzle at your superglue filled corner and squeeze, itll blow a fine mist of baking soda at the corner without having to "sprinkle" it on with your fingers. Use the technique all the time at work and it gives much finer control over where the baking soda is going/ending up

[RottenReal]

I love how this video barely has music and its like, just raw clips. It really shows how focused he is, the thinking and stuff, generally showing the process in such a way that I think is different from a lot of the modern "building" videos.

[baras]

adam laughing is one of those sounds that just makes you smile

[theboybrutus]

Adam is a true manifestation of someone who is a kid at heart, and who is not afraid to show it❤️

[strwzzz]

"sir the gun range closes in 10 minutes, unfortunately you'll only be allowed to fire one magazine before we close up shop."
"Sir, what is th- sir wh- no, no please...."

[crapsound]

Even though this isn't MythBusters related, seeing Adam think and work through the build really takes me back. I can just imagine Robert Lee doing some commentary as Adam works. 😀

[KD-pvec]

I watch both Mark Rober and Adam, so now I cannot stop imagining a fight between Adam's 1000 dart nerf and Mark's giant nerf

[matthewgumabon]

Watching Adam work is really something special. I love it how instead of doing the math to figure out the theoretically required dimensions for the magazine, he just goes straight into prototyping and trial and error. He even free-hands the outline for the curve of the magazine! A true inventor/engineer!

"Men are just older kids, with more resources for their madness" LOVE. THIS.

Every time I see an Adam Savage video, I think to myself:
Never leave an engineer unattended. Never.
