This Long Range Nerf Gun Is Your Deal of the Day
Apr 30, 7:00PM
It's no suprise that we love toys at Gizmodo, especially Nerf guns. Shooting a friend with soft foam is an absolute pleasure. When you think Nerf, you're thinking dinky foam darts, but the Vortex line combines the classic Nerf gun with miniature discs, which fly a lot farther and and quite a bit faster. In fact, the Vortex Pyragon can shoot discs 60 to 70 feet—opening up a whole new world of Nerf sniping. Right now at Amazon, the Nerf Vortex is $26. That's a 25% discount and at that price, you should buy two and give one to a friend. You'll never have so much fun getting blasted in the face. [Amazon]
