I built secret Nerf missiles

Remote control? Self firing? Wrist wrocket? Which of these crazy Nerf missile designs is your favorite?

The missile knows where it is at all times.

The Titan nerf rocket system would be a good platform to modify like this. it does need to be pumped but it has a trigger(and a pressure gauge) and a much bigger rocket. the main issue would be finding titan rockets, you can get custom made ones since the original nerf ones are going to be old and expensive since they're limited.

As a member of the Nerf community, I enjoy seeing engineering channels, like yours, make Nerf related projects. I just wish The Nerf hobby space is covered more by mainstream engineering Channels like yourself, as well as The Hacksmith and Mark Rober who have both made Nerf related content. Watching you guys modify blasters is like watching someone reinvent a worse wheel.

That's awesome man. I'm glad you are revisiting this. I'm looking forward to the next iteration.

The 6:58 you can make a nerf mortar with the drop mechanism, just like the real thing

The remote activated, self-contained ones would actually be really cool for trap set-ups. Hook the remote to a tripwire (physical or laser) and leave the missiles strategically placed to launch where you want (maybe hidden in make-shit barrels, like soda cans or pvp pipes) to help guide them and conceal their presence

The simplest is the best. Web-nerf missile-shooter!

This worked way better than i expected, i wanted to see how the nerf missile work on the last video but a dedicated video is perfect

When I was a kid, there was a nerf rocket launcher that used an air reservoir and launched a HUGE rocket. A friend had one, and that thing was wicked! It hit with a mountain of force, and could knock a kid over off of his bicycle. It was one of our favorite games. Lol

That’s epic! Your creations constantly impress.
I did have a thought for the co2 rocket; modify the launch tube to have a pin in the bottom, and two swing out legs for a *nerf mortar* 😸

Love this video and completely agree! The Nerf HAMP system is the worst way to fire missiles! I really need to do some similar experiments as these! I did combine a dudebow with the Roblox missile launcher and it performed pretty well.

Thank you for helping keep David healthy and hydrated. The future needs more David.

Congrats Joel!!! I think you are finding the sweet spot with your vids. Tbh it doesn’t really matter if the idea works, the story leading up to the fails is what I’m here for!! Not all projects will be perfect, but the story you craft is what is important…keep it up

I like the magnet idea. What you could do, is use the original launcher (and put the magnet on the launcher instead of the rocket) since you said it's hard to stabilize the rocket without the launcher. Since you're using a launcher, you could also add a trigger to it that activates the rocket. This also gets rid of the short radio distance, since both parts would be *in the launcher*

[allenseeallendo]

The concept was really cool I can tell why you wanted to do a video on this. Who would have thought so much engineering went into the actual dart at nerf.

[foximacentauri]

Here’s my idea: let two metal contacts stick out of the missile, which act as capacitor chargers. They are always connected to a power source as long as long as the missile is in the launch tube. As soon as the missile gets ejected, the capacitor starts to discharge and sets off the propellant.
Good luck!

Awesome video. I would love to see a series about this. This was a blast to watch and I hope you continue to explore this topic.

[ncrawford]

I would love to see you make a self-firing rival round

[stevelin]

The fact that you still have your hand intact is mind-boggling.

Congrats, Joel! I hope your efforts become popular enough to become a standard.
