1) The idiot creator made the device so that it could work on ANYTHING. 2) He made the device out of a nerf gun, a gun you shoot at people for fun. 3) The gun was booby trapped...you take it apart, your fingers turn into rubber gloves. 4) He gifted it to his brother, which he would of used in his public birthday. Whether on a meaningless object with proper instruction or not, would immediately cause people to be startled and call the media cause the guy literally had a magic nerf gun. He and his family, sans the SCP foundation intervention, would of been under immediate national scrutiny. 5) The creator inadvertently created something that had beyond astounding. Of course they would need to test it on live beings. Yes, even sentient. Imagine if 100 shots from this thing on the Destroyer of Worlds could turn him into a mere human sized rock monster? 6) Why didn't they interrogate him more on the means and method he used to create it? He's a fool but he's also a live anomaly creator, one that doesn't go completely missing or dead before the anomaly is found. No foundation agent would ever let an anomaly creator go on his way like that. -- The creator does not have a moral highground. He's an idiot that made something super powered and gave it to his kid brother, regardless of whether he gave instructions.

"There was Ice Cream, Cake, and Ice Cream Cake" Damn this kid's party was already top-tier from the getgo.

for 682, it can be reasonably dangerous. 682's ability is to adapt. theoretically, by " nerfing" 682. you are creating the adaptation that will make him "OP" making containment impossible as now his adaptation is explicitly " being too powerful".

It’s based on what they would consider ‘worse’. My first thought was, would they be thinking worse as in worse to deal with or harder to contain? Or is it guaranteed to literally take what most people mean when they say ‘nerf’ and is only able to weaken or devolve. Maybe it would just remove random adaptations from 682? Edit: and my connection finally let me see the other comments.

I.e. you couldn't just look at something and be like "Oh I sure think this pen would be a worse WRITING utensil if it was a $60000 keyboard and computer combo..." I would imagine that the subconscious bias you have toward writing utensils would first turn it into something like a non- ball point pen, then into a dip quill, then into a sharp rock that flakes off and leaves a trail of dust... so on and so forth. conceptually that makes more sense to me than just saying "we can technically make something better if we make it worse at one thing." thus, you couldn't change your idea of a nerf to something by hypnotizing yourself or being put under the influence of some other cogneto hazardous scp.

I'd see if I could intentionally upgrade something by changing my actively thought perspective of what a nerf would be. For example if you were to take a knife. And consider the combat capability, a nerf would be to turn it into a gimmic knife like a folding knife that looks like a key. Now you're looking at your gimmic knife and considering its value as a gimmic knife. It becoming a dangerous combat knife would be a nerf to its gimmic levels.

Shoot the hard to kill lizard with it. It would most likely “nerf” it’s healing factor or maybe get rid of its adaptation abilities.

The SCP foundation would NEVER release a guy that can and has created a dangerous anomaly.

I would love to see a rapid-fire video detailing what would happen to various “unkillable” SCPs if they were hit by the Nerfing Gun.

What I would do is modify the memory of the person wielding the gun to make them think that making the item really powerful, like a gun turns into a death ray laser gun that can cut through anything, is the same as down grading it.

Despite being the one who created the gun in the first place, Nathan did have a point; there was no need for them to use the gun for experiments on humans. I mean, they effectively killed those people by turning them into someone/something else.

Whether on a meaningless object with proper instruction or not, would immediately cause people to be startled and call the media cause the guy literally had a magic nerf gun. He and his family, sans the SCP foundation intervention, would of been under immediate national scrutiny. 5) The creator inadvertently created something that had beyond astounding. Of course they would need to test it on live beings. Yes, even sentient. Imagine if 100 shots from this thing on the Destroyer of Worlds could turn him into a mere human sized rock monster? 6) Why didn't they interrogate him more on the means and method he used to create it? He's a fool but he's also a live anomaly creator, one that doesn't go completely missing or dead before the anomaly is found. No foundation agent would ever let an anomaly creator go on his way like that. -- The creator does not have a moral highground. He's an idiot that made something super powered and gave it to his kid brother, regardless of whether he gave instructions.

Hey, they actually used this on SCP-076 at one point. this wasn't canon though but it was effective. The story behind it A non canon SCP 4000 had become a security guard (not the actual 4000, a different one). A an old friend of his who had been turned into a cyborg tried stopping him from using 3108 to stop 076, who had been attacking the site. Naturally 4000 pulled the trigger and to his surprise, it had ammo it in. It turned the cyborg back to a man, they reunited before he went and used 3108 on 076, it made 076 human, which allowed them to kill him. But he was perm dead.

I'd have a lot of fun with it. "Ooohhh you drive a BMW? HOW ABOUT A SKATEBOARD!"

Thankfully 682 eventually lost this upgraded power. Test failed.

Having this come back across my feed would have me use it on Gas Prices.

That gun may very easily be the most powerful SCP the foundation has ever known or encountered. If the gun chooses what it turns it into depending on your perspective, it has nothing to do with the item itself. It's a predictable, manipulateable and more capable version of SCP 914 and 294 combined. If you had full control over what it targeted and considered "worse", you could turn anything into anything, regardless of how unrelated the "downgraded" item is to the original one. Thus, if you could manipulate someone's mind, and made them think "the worse version of a piece of paperclip is a pill that makes the person that takes it omnipotent", the gun would theoretically do it. There has to be some SCP that allows manipulation of the mind, and even if there isn't, there are people irl who has enough control over their minds to change what they think is worse. The potential for that nerf gun is orders of magnitudes higher than any other SCP the foundation has combined. The scarlet king, the weird flying angel monster, the toy maker, the machine god; f**k them all. This one gun can literally make anyone into an omnipotent, omniscient being, and can even make you stronger than another omnipotent, omniscient being if you considered "being more powerful than god is worse". Replace god with every scp 001 combined, or even every scp combined, or even EVERYTHING combined, and you already get omnipotence from scp 343, and every power of every scp. What's more, if what you consider more powerful is just the positive effects, which you consider as worse, that would give you only the positive effects of any and all scps.

I think "worse" in this case is an inaccurate word to use. It "nerfs" whatever it shoots, as in when they "nerf" something in a video game. The gun isn't making it a "worse" version of the target it is making a "less powerful/less useful" version of the target.
