Steampunk Nerf – Who’s Behind These Cool Painted Nerf Guns? By Jerry Benson For those of you that are into Nerf, you probably have noticed a movement has slowly been taking place. This movement deals with some curious painted Nerf guns. Chances are you’ve seen them while browsing Google Images, Flickr, or forums like NerfHaven. Many of us have gawked at these amazingly painted Nerf guns, while knowing very little about them in general, and believing that they were just some creation made by a very skilled craftsman going by the alias of Steampunk. I made that mistake as well. Up until now, I thought it was a person and was amazed at how much recognition he was getting everywhere, especially on mega-popular sites like Gizmodo and Boing Boing…After taking a good look though, at what Steampunk actually is, I’ve come to realize that there is much more to this movement than meets the eye. It happens to be very deep. I quickly found that it is in fact, not a person, and instead a type of science fiction, the kind that comes complete with a massive amount of dedicated fans, conventions, costumes, and a heavy slew of mods done to everyday items such as computers, jewelry, watches, and… books. There are even books written about Steampunk, and even tutorials on how to create a Steampunk style computer keyboard (which is uber cool if I do say so myself). One thing is for sure, this movement is popular, and its made its way into Nerf. It has annihilated forums, swept across Flickr, and jumped onto youtube. Every day it’s becoming a more prominent part of the culture that has surrounded Nerf. You can see more on this incredible movement, and learn exactly what it is here – Steampunk Nerf, where you’ll see prime examples of Nerf guns styled to fit this amazing genre of Sci-Fi. They are pretty incredible, so be sure to visit the link and check them out!
