When it comes to breaking records, sometimes the more bizarre a thing is, the better; that's exactly the case when it comes to the World's Largest Nerf Gun. It's not a challenge many have undertaken -- at least not when compared to more common competitions such as those involving food or sports. So it's a relatively easy one to break.
Of course, this World's Largest Nerf Gun doesn't take the easy route. A four foot tall iteration of the Nerf N-Strike Maverick, it is capable of shooting huge darts (also known as toilet plunges) at an astounding 40 miles per hour. It was built by engineer/YouTuber Mark Rober along with some of his fellow YouTuber engineers. It comes complete with a 3,000 PSI air tank to fill an 80 PSI reserve cylinder.
