Nerf rant
As most of the people who go here know about nerfmodsreviews.com, but what it should really be called is foam blaster mods and reviews since they don't just focus on Nerf guns, but on all types of foam firing blasters. In the current society that we live in when most people see a foam firing blaster they assume it is a Nerf blaster, but when it could be a buzz bee, air zone, or some type of off brand blaster. The reason for us calling all foam firing blasters Nerf blasters is because they are the most well know brand of foam blasters. Take a car for example, just because Ford is the best know car maker doesn't mean that all the other cars are fords. Also just because ford is the best know doesn't mean that they are the best car maker, back in the world of foam blasters that is also true while Nerf is the best know Air zone often makes better foam blasters than Nerf, but often gets over looked by consumers due to their lack of knowledge of the blaster. So next time you see a foam blaster make sure you call it by it's proper name

you know. I see your point, and I understand exactly where you're coming from, mainly because some time ago I wouldn't have even thought of getting a Buzz Bee blaster at all. I thought they looked cheap, and was always thinking it was some stupid rip off. After getting some of them randomly in lots with actual Nerf guns however I have realized the error of my ways. Not only are they worth the money, but they are amazingly unique in a lot of ways. Many of these ways actually bring me to desire buzz bee more than Nerf. For example, the rapid fire rifle. What's not to love! With that old western stile rifle priming, and the ejecting shells! My brain just about blew an o-ring after I used it for the first time because I hadn't upgraded them to contain the pressure of that awesomeness!
ReplyDeleteSo, yes... Agreed.
You don't hear people asking "Hey, do you have any Facial Tissue?" They ask for a "Kleenex". That's a brand name that has transcended the name. Nerf has done much of the same when it comes to dart blasters. Nerf Mods & Reviews COULD'VE been called "Foam Blaster Mods and Reviews", but because the name "Nerf" and "Foam Blaster" are synonymous, it's not a big deal.
ReplyDeleteBest "KNOWN". English, dude. Speak it.
ReplyDeleteAren't you called Arctic "Nerf"?
