Back in 2014, a now defunct website named ThinkGeek pranked the whole Nerf Internet Community at once. For their April Fools joke that year, they designed a semi-functional Nerf Nuke warhead, complete with a powered launcher. A Nerf MOAB, if you will, that would put an end to any Nerf War, once and for all. They had a whole article and video demonstration and everything. It was great. You can check my coverage on the article over on my blog, here: Nerf Nuke - The #1 Most Powerful Nerf Weapon On Earth!


But be warned: The link to this product is a digital 3D print file only. Besides printing out the 3D printed parts yourself, you will need to source out some of the other components yourself. This includes a CO2 canister to power the thing. It looks like the seller of these digital files still hasn't perfected the Nerf Nuke, so some caution is advised. If all you want is a prop, these files will serve you perfectly. However, if you want a fully functional Nerf Nuke like in the videos, you'll have to do some tinkering/engineering yourself to get this to work perfectly.


Once again, all of the hardware you'll need is not included and must be purchased separately. An easy trip to Home Depot should do the trick, so don't fret. That's the easy part. Putting everything together and doing the extra modifications required for this Nerf Nuke to work will be the tricky part. Are you up for the challenge? I know you are. So grab a Dremel and a hot glue gun and let's get this party started! 


This is all by the original creator of the Nerf Nuke and so the design of the 3D print will be perfect. He's also got an Instructables up to go over how to assemble everything and what materials to use. He even goes over ideas for making it fully functional. Check it out here: Nerf Nuke Instructables Guide.
