I play with Nerf guns as a hobby. I am part of the Britnerf community. For context, we collect, modify, customise and play with toy blasters which fire foam projectiles, often at regularly organised not for profit events.

We use Nerf branded products along with xshot, home made and increasingly 3d printed blasters. Think of it as a cheaper, less cost intensive alternative to paintball which can be played almost anywhere.

Anyway, as a games organiser, I wanted to get some advice on signs for some of the paraphinalia and terms associated with the hobby.

Any suggestions or discussion is welcome. I just want to take some steps to making the hobby more inclusive.

Brands associated with the hobby:

Nerf, Hasbro, Xshot.

General vocabulary:

Nerf war, Nerf blaster/gun, Nerf dart, eye protection, zombie, base, respawn point. 

There is much more I'd like to know, but I just wanted to put the above out there for a start. 

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

      For my daughter

      By Catherine Harwood · Posted

      Hello, I am learning sign language due to my daughter being partially deaf at birth.  I thought it would be good for me to learn it and hopefully incorporate into teaching her to talk so she will always have that option to fall back on.

      Additional Communication

      By YasminBSL · Posted

      I have had an interest in learning BSL for many years because I find it an interesting language which is helpful to include more people in society rather than exclude. I am neurodiverse and a kinaesthetic learner, so this is a functionally accessible language for me to (hopefully) learn, understand and implement. Alongside the D/deaf community for whom BSL is primarily created and used, I have seen some people find it useful in the Neurodiverse community for various reasons including nonverbal communication.  I think it's an exciting opportunity to be able to communicate with more people and learn about the D/deaf community and culture as well.

      👋 Hello

      By YasminBSL · Posted

      I'm Yasmin, I have wanted to learn BSL for a very long time. My first introduction to the language was way back when I was around 5 years old and we were taught how to sign our names in Rainbows! I always remembered how to do so afterwards. I've now finally come around to find the course and enjoying it so far. I'm neurodiverse and so as well as being able to comnunicate with the D/deaf community, BSL could come in handy for the Neurodiverse community since some people are nonverbal and can adopt BSL or SSE for communication needs, too.

      My name is Jacquie and I live in Christchurch, Bournemouth.  I passed my BSL level 1 two years ago and I am now (hoping) to recall and improve my skills. Please contact me if you are an improver also looking for a practise buddy.  Many thanks🤗.  (Apologies for the video!  I was more than nervous putting this out there!!🤗)
