How to Make a Nerf Gun Shoot Harder
All Nerf brand weapons with extruded barrels are inhibited from firing with the full intensity that they possess. You can make a Nerf gun shoot harder by removing the restrictor rod that is placed inside of the gun’s barrel. A few household tools and about a half an hour of your time is all that is needed. Making the Nerf gun able to fire harder will void any warranty that may be in place by the manufacturer.
