I bought "for my nephew," one of those ones that shoot those thick rubber bands. Aside from being a bit tough to aim and jamming up pretty frequently, that sucker just sails straight through the air, and you can watch it almost as though its in slow motion. Those suckers can do some damage, but just don't live up to the NERF of old.
A while back we made basically a potato launcher but used those NERF balls soaked in water as the projectiles. (PVC tubing, cap on one end with starter switch from a gas grill, and a bit of hairspray/starter fluid/whatever in the bottom.) That thing worked pretty good, but those balls just dont have enough mass to do the distance.
