Hack a stock NERF chaingun it into a high-rate-of-fire beast. This viral video for an energy drink is a terrific how-to video to introduce your non-Maker friends and relatives to toy modification. They admit that this is dangerous and will probably damage the motor — they are pushing four times the voltage than it was designed for.

The paint job is awesome — brushing on the highlights reminds me of a real-world version of how I used to paint 3D guns when I worked in the video game industry.
