An artist who goes by @tofu_rabbit on X says that the look of Nerf’s Ace of Spades handgun from Bungie’s Destiny games came from a commissioned artwork they drew almost a decade ago.
Nerf and Bungie unveiled its newest foam dart gun collaboration on Tuesday featuring a limited edition version of Cayde-6’s iconic “Ace of Spades” blaster from Destiny 2 that is available for purchase on Bungie’s online store. The following morning, @tofu_rabbit posted images comparing Nerf’s newest foam dart launcher to a piece of art they made in 2015 and posted on their DeviantArt page based on the same gun from the game.

Just curious: This is a toy?
I mean… if a kid holds up this toy to a cop, what would be the most positive outcome?
Edit: I know, karma isn’t a thing here. But could anyone just explain, why I’m getting downvoted for?
It depends. How dark is the kid’s skin? Are they in a poor neighborhood?
It has an orange end and triggers on it which marks it as a toy gun. So they’d be fine most likely. But it’s still a stupid move.
a nerf gun that fires foam darts. the price is prohibitive enough that no kid is going to feasibly be carting this around under normal circumstances.
I thought the same thing. In the Netherlands it’s not allowed to have realistic looking toy weapons. I basically think that’s a good thing.
It fires and the cop dies.
Most positive.
