Missouri State University officials are discussing whether to limit or ban the use of Nerf guns used in a popular weeklong campus game.

About 500 people took part in October’s “Humans vs. Zombies” game, in which players try to tag other people, who then become zombies. The humans can defend themselves by stunning the zombies with Nerf guns or balled-up socks.

During October’s game, a professor called 911 and put a classroom on lockdown after thinking he saw a real gun. And the university’s safety and transportation department got several calls to its non-emergency number while the game was being played, The Springfield News-Leader reported.

The game is not played inside but it does go on at all hours of the day. The Nerf guns can sometimes look like real weapons, particularly in low-light, said Don Clark, director of the university’s Department of Safety and Transportation.

Ban balled up socks.


The socks could be dirty, spreading fungus. Think of the children, even if they're actually over 18.

Put soap in the sock.

Yeah, in low light conditions those could be mistaken for hand grenades.

Ban something, God damn it.

It's not just a day in AmeriKa without a call to ban something, lock something down, or lock someone up.

Freedom.
