Some students disagree with campus Nerf ban

Student Body President Jackie Wheeler said she grew up with Nerf guns as a child and that she believes they should be on campus in spite of the university's implied ban against Nerf weapons.

She said that she and other facilitators used water guns at Frog Camp Challenge A and saw that play weapons similar to Nerf guns were "perfectly fine and fun."

"Bringing Nerf guns on campus could enhance campus life," Wheeler said.

TCU's Code of Student Conduct's clause on weapons and dangerous devices currently bans the "use, storage or possession of weapons or dangerous devices including, but not limited to…air powered guns." Nerf guns are air powered rifles.

4. Nerf guns have rifling in the barrel??? Whoda thunk it?

I would be interested to know the twist of this rifling, and how the proper spin rate for a foam ball was determined.

I was once suspended in high school for throwing a nerf football in the school's courtyard. The reason? I might break a window.
