''The Great Nerf War'' is a web series created by [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjhBMsKWmZ9bix5yl2zksQg SaulsburyStStudios]], premering in 2011.

As the title and above quote implies, the premise of the series features an AlternateUniverse CivilWar between the [[LaResistance Peace-Bull]] and the [[WesternTerrorists Belligerwitch]], where the primary weapons used are {{Nerf}} guns. The series has a serious outlook, but it has a fair amount of funny moments from both factions.

The first episode can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUcKTCWTdQQ here]].
