Michael Pick left his 9-to-5 job to become the a guy who builds cool things to get world records.
Michael Pick of Huntsville, Ala., a YouTuber known as the Casual Engineer, was certified by Guinness World Records for building the world's largest Nerf gun. The gun is 12 feet, 6 inches long and weighs 250 pounds. In addition, it can shoot a dart 250 feet. Pick’s Guinness record for “fastest motorized foam dart gun fire rate,” which is 2,643 per minute, was set in September 2023.
Since then, he has received an official Guinness certification for the World’s Largest Xbox X Series. He also built an oversized Nintendo Switch, which has not been certified by Guinness. All of the mega-sized games are functional. “I designed the supersized Nerf gun on my computer using CAD, and then I built it over five months, working just on the weekends, in my garage,” he said.
Pick shared photos of the Nerf gun but seeing it in person requires a long plane ride. “It’s currently on display at a Guinness World Record museum in Denmark,” he said. “I haven’t visited it yet, but plan to!”
