NUS-NYP Kendo Nerf War
By Nella On the 21st of May, visitors to Pasir Ris Park may have witnessed a shooting showdown in the heart of its area. Featuring an affiliates club collaboration on an epic joint exercise... the NUS-NYP Kendo Nerf War!
The two teams caught a first glimpse of each other's armory at White Sands' Burger King, where we met and stocked up some of our energy supplies. Across the border, Suresh
sensei and co. made their last modifications to the guns while we were engrossed with our own weapons, assembling them and testing the range of guns available.

XDWe made our way to the first battlefield in Pasir Ris Park. After securing our belongings at the chosen spots, we proceeded on to an elimination match in which the team with the last man standing wins! The garden maze proved to be a good warm up point as we rushed in from all sides to face our opponents. Team NYP then unleashed the power of their foam sword for close ranged attacks. Sadly, the unforgiving sun blazed down on us and we had to move on to another ground shortly after.
A change of terrain when we set our sights on a small hill! This time, teams have to take over the Nerf Vulcan, which was stationed on a rock, within a certain time limit to get their taste of victory. Both are allowed to use the weapon for as long as they held the place! For beginners, Vulcan operates via an automatic belt-fed ammo system--powerful firing mechanism. After the start signal, its surroundings quickly became a death zone while the rest of us strategized our way through.
The display of guns with high speed bullets seemed to have captured the attention of many unsuspecting passer-bys. For a moment, we had a few little kids to join us during our breaks too!
The last round ended with Nasu as the sole survivor from Team NUS! Flanked by the standing NYP team, even heroic stunts were no match for the bullets and their well-known foam sword. Awesome battle!
