Reply to comment by humdinger44 in Meet Lonnie Johnson, the NASA engineer that invented the Super Soaker. Now he's working to help solve climate change with his latest inventions, a solid state battery as well as an entirely new type of engine. by captainquirk

Wait, he did the N-Strike line too? I knew about Super Soaker, didn't know about the dart blasters. Do you have a link to that?

Edit: So after some reading, it looks like that's not exactly the case. He created the pressurized air blasters (which are basically just the Super Soakers, but shooting darts), but that wasn't N-Strike.

Still, his contributions were priceless and he ended up winning a lawsuit against Hasbro for underpaid royalties. Anyone who gives Hasbro a good kick in the dick is okay in my book.
