I get it, though. I get the need to defend your works. But I want to say this honestly- I'm not trying to bring you down, I'm trying to help. The fact of the matter is, your blasters don't have their own style. They look like everyone else's; like a bunch of nerf parts stuck together on their edges. There's little complexity and even less flow to it.

To be frank, I could care less the functional aspect of each part. The point of Build-A-Blaster isn't to make feasible products. It's basically the Nerf version of throwing crap at the wall and seeing what sticks. Or the Pony Creator. The designs aren't supposed to have substance, they're supposed to look cool.

You want to design a real Nerf blaster? Try making a homemade from scratch. Design it. Pick every single aspect of it that you want. Then, buy the materials you'll need and build it yourself. You'll very quickly realize it's not quite as simple as taking some pieces and assuming they'll go together and work. So what? This thread is made for fun, your gun is also crap.
