NerfHaven forum poster Forsaken_angel24 has taken his love of All things Nerf and Gears of War to a new level. Using a Nerf rifle and a toy chainsaw from Home Depot, Forsaken_angel24 was able to cobble together a reasonable and realistic looking copy of Gears of War's most infamous weapon, the Lancer. If you are interested in making one of your own, he gives full instructions in a posting on the NerfHaven forums.
I didn't even know they made Nerf guns like the one he used as a base. And parents are worried about the Wii Zapper?

BITCHIN!
thats is pretty cool
Let's see a god damn torque bow!
God Damn it...Will y'all excuse me? I have to go change my pants...
Yeah, that's pretty impressive. Toy mods rule.
Mmm yes, Torque bow next please.
What a terrible thing to do to the Longshot CS-6, or as I like to call it: Bessy. Still, I'd probably do the same thing if I had another one.
Holy hell.
The argument that it's not the same gun seems plausible. That's one "mod-heavy" mod.
If they sold that, I'd snap it up in a minute.
that is unbelievably sick. i want it bad. D=
That is by far the coolest thing I have seen in a while.
This is what I would call "above and beyond the call of duty". Seriously badass.
My friend has one of those Nerf guns (the original, not the kickass modded version), and its some kinda sniper rifle. The first thing I thought when I saw it was "Lancer."
...I actually own that Nerf gun. It's a sniper rifle that disassembles into an assault rifle and a pistol. [www.hasbro.com] See?
But yeah, it's a bolt-action Nerf sniper rifle. And I own one.
You'd think Epic would've merchandised this by now.
@AnTi PRO:
I second that.
Sweet Merciful Crap!
that's nuts! why doesn't a weapons manufacturer make something like this? strike fear in the hearts of the non-believers.......and people breaking into your house.
i don't really advocate having guns, (mostly because i know i'd totally kill someone by now if i had one. stupid general public.) but this would top the desert eagle as the coolest looking gun ever.
@WK016: You'd think Epic would've SUED by now, given that last munny doll tribute incident.

Wow! Thats a badass mothafucka!
You all should take a gander at this guys other mods, they are really sick. Especially the "Eyes of Fire" ([nerfhaven.com] the video at the end and the stats on it are absurdly awesome
I never understood how parents could get upset with kids playing "violent video games" involving guns...when they buy their kids nerf toys that shoot projectiles at other people.
Oh and its not just one projectile type, you have the full blown composite longbow type, the regular "rifle" type, the "sub-machine gun" type and then the "mini-gun" type. Each advertising a different way to "play" kill someone... isn't that how we play video games?
I got that gun in a White Elephant over Christmas. It's bad ass.
Gears of War? More like Tears of War. Nah im kidding that is fuckin badass.
Nice!
@InsidiousTuna (XBL and PSN): Yeah. I have it too.
Too bad it has a firing range of about 5 feet while still being accurate.
Not very useful for sniping.
And the pistol part doesn't work on mine.
Does it still shoot darts?
@Kirbytheslayer: The Movie:
It's called mod it, or buy one from Forsaken_angel24. 100ft range, pretty darn accurate.
Sweet Jesus that is cool.
Is someone at NERF paying attention? THIS is a toy gun.
Glad you all enjoy it. If you enjoyed this modification be sure to check out "The eyes of fire" and "Doomsayer".
wow!, it has lights and all... I have to play that darn game already
I definitely would want that.
*dies*
Forsaken is having a nerf war on Feb 26 up in Mississauga, Ont. if your in the area you should come and Join Us
Wow, that's an incredible mod!
impressive.
It is not my war but a war that I am attending. The date is January 26th. If you guys enjoyed this modification be sure to check out Doomsayer and the Eyes of Fire.
cool ! a young boy's dream
really great !
Haha. I was going to attempt this with my paintball gun. Unfortunately, money started getting tight at the time and I never got the project beyond some sketches.
But man, this is sick by the quadrillionith power.
Wow! That is one beautiful piece of art right there. I am floored. I would pay $100 for something like that easily but when time and energy is factored in it is worth so much more.
Great work!
Woah, NerfHaven, that takes me back. I used to be a regular at NerfHQ, and posted, like, once ever at NerfHaven. I was immediately sigged by about 5 people, so I figured I'd leave on a high note. They's mean folks over there.
That's just beautiful. I agree with terry2070 I would be willing to part with a $100 without a moment of doubt for that awe inspiring nerf gun.
Dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmn that's purty.
Fucking incredible.
Now they need to make a nerf gun with a REAL chain saw.
Id buy that.
Super multi-functional.
You can own kids on the street, or cut down a tree. Your choice.
IT'S NERF OR NOTHIN!
holy crap, if you haven't looked at his step-by-step instructions, you MUST do it to appreciate the incredible friggin detail and sheet amount of WORK this guy did. Amazing.
holy crap, if you haven't already, you MUST take a look at his step-by-step instructions to appreciate the incredible detail and sheet amount of WORK that went into this thing. Amazing.
I have that gun and could buy the chain saw. Too bad Im a lazy ass
I have two Longshots (this gun), its a great toy and tons of fun even for adults. I haven't modded either of mine yet though, as others have said they're much nicer once modded. I don't know about painting it grey/black either, it draws enough looks from concerned "adults" as it is ;)
Still, nice piece of work.
Holy crap! I'm inspired!
Fully operational Hammer of Dawn or it doesnt count.
lol Years ago my friends and I used to modify nerf guns and have wars. All you do is take out a few air-restrictors and those things shoot 4x as far and still leave welts. ;)
HOLY SHIT.
I have that Nerf gun. Now I have to make an excuse to get that chainsaw and i'll have myself a bitchin lancer.
That is some serious skill and imagination right there!
I had a nerf crossbow. The thing was badass. Not as neat as this thing, but it does remind me how nerf had some really neat designs at one time.
@Aiwokote: My friend had a nerf crossbow. It was really cool, wasn't it? We took out a lot of stuffed animals back in the day.
Nerf modding is so much fun. I've got one of those Nerf sniper rifles (a Longshot) and something like half a dozen of the Maverick revolvers. I haven't had the guts to mod the Longshot yet, but the Mavericks are practically made to be modded. They're only like $8 apiece and pretty easy to disassemble. I've got a steampunky one painted deep red with a brassy cylinder and two that look normal but have been upgraded with a couple of popular functional mods for easier reloading and increased distance.
Hey, while we're talking mods, anybody have a link to a good place to get Nerf Mod instructions? I would liked to try out modding one of the LongShots at some point, maybe a Maverick or two if they're as easy as dphrygian says ;)
@DaiMacculate: Other than NerfHaven, to be more specific. Its cool and all, but yeah.
Ok . . . now THIS is cool.
Who says we all pitch in and get this guy laid?
Impressive, nice work, also nice to see a before picture, it just makes it even a more of a feat knowing what it looked like before :)
@EvoAnubis: Cool indeed!
Wow, no negative comments (yet). I'm lovin' it!
This is damn impressive. The end.
Hey that's an awesome little mod
I wonder if you walked down any street with this, how long you would last before a news crew helicopter would be hovering over you, swiftly followed by an armed response team?
The blue lights are what really make that Lancer go from pretty nice to very impressive. That is talent right there.
