adam savage's head-mounted nerf blaster fires dozens of foam darts in seconds

MYTHBUSTERS’ CO-HOST, ADAM SAVAGE, STRIKES AGAIN

best known as the former co-host of mythbusters, adam savage has built an amusing head-mounted dual dart blaster. the device can fire dozens of foam darts in seconds via a remote control.

‘it’s like my head is the razor crest,’ comments the actor, educator, and television personality and producer on the tested video that you can watch above.

A UNIQUE HEAD-MOUNTED FORM FACTOR

for his next foam dart blaster, adam savage found inspiration in the motorized design of the d-dart pro blaster. he has paired two of them into a unique head-mounted form factor, and the finished assembly is as absurd as it looks.

savage starts by testing the d-dart pro’s he bought which he then assembles into the head piece. he continues by saying that if he puts more than 6 volts into the machine, and if he powers it with something other than double A batteries, he might make it faster.

the video shows the complete process, from changing the power, to mounting the two d-dart pros, to adding the remote control feature, aiming reticule with green dot laser, and a massive siren on top.

watch adam build and test his head-mounted blaster on the video above.
