Q&A for How to Make a Nerf Grenade

It depends on the size of your rubber band. Some are larger than others, and therefore will require more darts. But if you’re using an average rubber band, then you will need around 15 darts.

Test it first. If it works, duplicate it. Use them only to clear places and such. Don't just use them to get people out in the fight.

You can find most of the supplies at a hardware store. You can also find them at any store that sells Nerf guns as well, especially the darts.

Use the rubber band method; if you have Nerf darts and some rubber bands lying around, you can do it for free!

Yes, but you'll need to put more or less darts in depending on what hairband you use.

Don't leave the Nerf darts in grenade state, it will ruin your darts. Instead, put the grenade together only when you need it.

It's one of those balls that flattens into a disc. The reason it turns into a disc is that there are two little suction cups inside. Once the suction can't hold on any more, it goes back into a ball.

You can try putting the band closer to the top.

Yes, as long as you use the same method. Different colors don't matter, but if you are trying to play war or be camouflaged, try using darts the same color as your surroundings.

Try using hair bands instead. If you can’t find hair bands, then find anything that ties like elastic or ties off food products - just make sure you can get it off the darts.

This isn't a mechanical grenade, but most games I've been to count this as a grenade: a Demolisher rocket. This rocket comes with the Nerf Tri-Strike, Demolisher, and other rocket-launchers or rocket-launcher attachments.

Unfortunately, you can't. Most games that allow grenades have rules that if a grenade lands near you (i.e., 5 feet), then you're tagged. This is because Nerf darts or balls don't really work well in grenades. So, just adjust the rules (if you're in charge of the game) so that grenades have a larger spread.

As long as they don't get the darts in their face, and you have informed them how to use them properly, then they should be safe. Supervise all initial usage.

You can choose to make a much smaller grenade, although it would be harder to set off because you would have to wrap and twist the rubber band around the darts, making it harder to go off.

Try putting the rubber band at the opposite side of the tip and try to make it land on the tips.

Then maybe try and get your sniper (if you have one) to shoot them. And if they are your darts and you are afraid of losing them, try to put your initials on the rubber tip of the dart.

It works if you stack all 10 of the vortex darts and use one rubber band. If it hits at high velocity it will work.

There are five: Flapball method, frizbee method, rubber band method, disc method, and the balloon method.
