Secretly want to play with Nerf guns again, but afraid neon orange and yellow just won’t your grown-up persona? Then Etsy model maker Neil Taylor has the toy for you. This BioShock-inspired steampunktastic creation is dubbed the Big Daddy. It started out as a standard Nerf N-Strike Barricade.

I decided to create a number of different emotions and feelings in a short space of time, rather than giving it a factory based sound throughout.
