How much people actually mod there guns? I know Nerf appeals to a lot of people out there, from young to old. If we could put it into a percentage how many gun owners actually modify their guns and how many do not?

Well first you'd have to get a decent idea of how many people own Nerf Guns.  And are we talking "I got one for my birthday" or "I've been collecting and playing for awhile now".  Then we've got to figure out how many people mod in general... we can get an idea from viewing forums and online blogs and materials, but there's a lot to sift through there.  Add all that up, and I think it's more work than it's worth to find a statistic!

Oh ok thanks it's just that when my group and I make youtube videos we wanted to know how many other people on youtube are stock nerf gun users. I guess we can address that unknown percentage. Thanks again.

You are going to have hard time figuring out those numbers.

Your going to have to figure out how many guns Hasbro sells, then you need to calculate how many of the owners of said guns modify them. Its just about Impossible, I doubt Hasbro even knows.

You will never get a truly accurate number because you will not be able to count closet nerfers and closet modders who do not speak of such things in public. Quite frankly I don't see how one would mod in a closet anyway, but that is a separate topic.

I'm honestly not sure why this hasn't been closed yet.

You also have to factor in the underneaththebed nerfers

We will not close it since it annoys Fishy! Smiley

I will however move it to the off-topic section where rambling silliness is acceptable.

The word "good" has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man.

Ya, fencing is awesome!
   I was at toysrus the other day and I was thinking that I'm kinda old for Nerf (13) the cashier is gonna be like whaaa!?  but luckily I'm really short! As to the  percentage of moders; ya not many. Most kids I know don't want to mod their guns because their afraid they'll break them I tell them They wont... I myself have an attic full of ailed mods.

Ok, you can hold your gun sideways like that, it'll look all cool and gangster, but the rscb wont load. then we will laugh at you, after that we will shoot you.

Lol i play Nerf because i was kicked off of my Airsoft team. Im 18, i work full time, but i still find a little time to play every weekend or something. If not, i run my drills and practice up. Or just mess around.

Anyways, it is impossible to figure, but im going to make a guesstimation.
Probally about 30% of Serious Nerfers mod and make customs, with a 20% margin of error.
But 30% is still my best guess. Anybdy?
