“Every college campus has a Nerf group and the games are getting bigger and bigger, with something like 300 people gathering in California to play recently, and over 800 in Ohio. Plus, Goodman says, you’ll find a Nerf community anywhere you go.
“There’s nothing better than taking something into your own hands and improving it.” “For both kids and adults, getting them off video games, working with their hands, and interacting with the community can happen through Nerf.” “There’s nothing better than taking something into your own hands and improving it - taking something old and making it new,” Goodman tells The Manual. Between his YouTube channel, shop, and book, Goodman has facilitated an easy (and safe) entry into starting Nerf modification. He became the go-to source for all Nerf mod inspiration, suggestions, and - after selling his 15-gallon home-brewing set for a 3D printer - even the parts themselves.
After tinkering, a trait he acquired from his engineer father, with a few Nerf models, Goodman came up with a few novel modifications like an air blaster that holds 1,200 rounds and shoots 15 rounds a second. He went on YouTube to find a good model to buy for himself and unearthed a growing community of people modifying and playing. Growing up with a love of paintball, Goodman found out the hidden wonders of the Nerf world as an adult while playing with his cousins’ new Nerf blasters. Goodman also wrote the first-ever bible of Nerf mods, The Nerf Blaster Modification Guide: The Unofficial Handbook for Making Your Foam Arsenal Even More Awesome, released by Voyageur Press, an imprint of The Quarto Group. Today, the 33-year-old runs an online shop and Nerf modification YouTube Channel called Out of Darts. Goodman is a former filmmaker who took a hairpin career turn away from cinematography.
