JoergSprave, the man from Burgkunstadt, Germany known as the Slingshot Guy in his YouTube “Slingshot Channel”, just made the Nerf Gun dangerous by modifying one the shoots Nerf Darts with scalpels. Just the thought of a scalpel will make you cringe after remembering those emergency room dramas on TV such as “Code Black.”

A scalpel is clean and sharp and a valuable surgeon’s tool. In the wrong hands, it becomes a dangerous weapon, and a Nerf Gun that fires scalpel darts? Now, that is really, really, dangerous.

What worries me is that one of the safest and fun toy guns in the market might become marked to be banned through legislation by politicians who will seize upon the videos of JoergSprave as an example that Nerf Guns can be dangerous weapons too. Airsoft in itself is safe, but it is a favorite punching bag by politicians who want to score points on gun violence, though banning airsoft guns will not actually solve gun violence since gun injuries and deaths are usually caused by people with real steel guns.

As to how he was able to create Nerf Scalpel Darts, he used the No. 25 scalpel and shorten the darts to make them fit the drum. As to go through the barrel, making them able to fly straight and true to a target, he removed the guiding pins. Here is the video on how it was done:

Not content with what has been achieved, he went to modify Nerf N-Strike Elite Rapidstrike CS-18 Blaster to be able to shoot the Nerf Scalpel Darts on full auto. He just had to embed the scalpel deeper into the shortened darts so that they can be fed into the magazine and shot out of the barrel. He also changed the batteries with more powerful ones to give it more kick and power to do damage:

The examples are educational, albeit dangerous and we strongly recommend to you not to try this at home. Nerf Blasters, Nerf Darts, and scalpels? What can possibly go wrong that combination?
