This article definitely brought back some great memories of
having Nerf wars with my neighbors. We would each have our own arsenal of Nerf
blasters to use for our cause. We had a ton of fun pretending like we were
agents in various armies across the world. With that being said, this wasn't necessarily
my favorite article we've read. I didn't quite understand the point of the
essay and I felt as if the author was giving me a boring lecture about the
history of Nerf. I do agree with a lot of the points he made however. I agree
that Hasbro building these Nerf guns is a tough engineering task. The engineers
had to develop toy guns that had enough power to have fun with yet they had to
be weak enough that they were safe to use for kids. I felt that the structure
of this essay that the author used was very linear and boring. It seemed to me
like he was just going through the history of Nerf like a lecture. While this
may be a viable structure for a lot of essays, the topic of toy children’s guns
as a huge business is something that I think can be made much more interesting
than this author did.
