Time-Travelling Steampunk Weaponry

The Post-Apocalyptic Nerf Maverick is Super Badass

I've seen a lot of steampunk, post-apocalyptic accessories around the Internet, but this Nerf Maverick is one of the best I've ever stumbled upon. The Etsy user behind this awesome piece definitely knows his stuff; the Nerf Maverick has been painted in a military theme and genuinely looks as though it's been through the trenches.

The product page for the piece claims that it is "an original Raptor-6 sidearm brought to us from the future by MGySgt Ivan Tromovski," that has been "brought back from the year 2067." Though I can't profess complete faith in the truth behind that statement, I do believe it adds to the overall mystique of t he piece. Check it out if you're in the market for something fun and freaky.
