Very sobering. "Oh wow my life has changed". I had to sit down and think about what my life would be like going forward.

I am responsible, to a large extent, for the success of the NERF dart gun line.

Jammin' Jet. It was commercialized. It was a water propelled airplane that was pumped just like a Super Soaker with water shooting out the back, propelling it into flight. The manufacturer changed the design of the plane to fly in a circle, but didn't adjust the wings so as it turned it would roll and dive into the ground. Usually causing the plane to break after the first launch. Exciting toy, exciting commercial, disappointing in the end.

The N-Strike line was started based on my patents. And the whole thrust of my approach to NERF was to take NERF guns to much higher performance. Shooting darts further. Using rapid fire technology. Making NERF more exciting than what it was prior.

I went and gave a talk at a school, years ago, after the Super Soaker first came out. I told them that I had invented it, and they didn't believe me. I left the school with them never really accepting the idea that I had invented the water gun.
