NERF Thread; AKA "Back in 'nam... Darts everywhere" - General

[QUOTE=PLing;22209265]Sorry but that looks shit.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=MaverickIB;22209348]Agreed. The paint is done terribly, the attempt at a banana magazine looks more like a tumor is growing underneath the gun, and the makeshift sight is all kinds of gacho. Just doesn't look cool at all.[/QUOTE] Also a terrible colour scheme. Green and black? Please!

They need to make more nerf guns that use the air pump system. The machine gun that comes with the rocket launcher uses it. You just pump it and it fires fully automatically for awhile

Have people made nerf guns utilizing compressed air canisters? Sorry if it was posted already, didn't bother to read thread.

[QUOTE=Dysgalt;22209879]Have people made nerf guns utilizing compressed air canisters? Sorry if it was posted already, didn't bother to read thread.[/QUOTE] Yep. They're called paintball guns.

[QUOTE=DragonGenX;22209905]Yep. They're called paintball guns.[/QUOTE] Completely irrelevant. Paintball ≠ Nerf dart.

Well shove a dart in there, gosh it's not that hard to figure out.

^ I've done this before, really fun. It's only single fire, so it's more or less like a musket, but damn the thing shoots far. Like, really, really far, and really, really accurate. The only problem is after 2 or 3 shots the nerf dart starts disintegrating because the material isn't strong enough. [editline]02:22AM[/editline] Maybe a paintball pistol would work. I ought to try it next time I get my hands on one...

[QUOTE=MaverickIB;22209348] Just doesn't look cool at all.[/QUOTE] Well, it is my first, using only cardboard and two cans of spraypaint. but i'd be interested to hear your ideas on how to improve?

I've never tried a nerf gun in my life :frown:

[QUOTE=xeo xeo;22213842]I've never tried a nerf gun in my life :frown:[/QUOTE] Go to the store and buy one [u]now.[/u]

[QUOTE=Spikesandhands;22213764]Well, it is my first, using only cardboard and two cans of spraypaint. but i'd be interested to hear your ideas on how to improve?[/QUOTE] The Stock and grip have been painted alright but jesus fuck you screwed up the rest of it, use tape to single out areas that you're painting. Also try out different colours because that green and black are fugly and ultimately all [b]you're[/b] doing is giving it a matt colour, to make something impressive you're gonna need many more shades, the best way i can think of making a banana magazine would be to buy a bunch of straight magaizens and cut them to fit then melt them into the curve, get some kind of different spring in there (I don't know how nerf magazines work) and it should be fully functioning.

My friend just dropped off his Longshot and Vulcan for me to mod, any suggestions? Also he says the rotator on the Vulcan broke. Is this a common issue?

[QUOTE=Spikesandhands;22164439]You do better? post results of a gun made out of paper.[/QUOTE] [img]http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee357/jerm781/internals/DSC01561.jpg[/img] Yeah , that's some great paper skill :downs: [editline]07:10PM[/editline] In other news does anyone know of any glues or something that is great at holding two plastic things together? Because I've got a raider which i've taken out the ARs and Jam door locks , painted black ( don't worry i'm getting some hornet yellow or whatever you call it over it ) and now i've made a makeshift shotgun grip out of this part of the vulcan : [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/handle.JPG[/img] Only trouble is i've no idea how to bond that and my sawed off raider handle together.

Most kinds of model building epoxy would work pretty well.

[QUOTE=MaverickIB;22216925]Most kinds of model building epoxy would work pretty well.[/QUOTE] Any suggestions? I'm in the UK so i'll check if it's available.

[QUOTE=Hemorrhoid_Man;22217179]Any suggestions? I'm in the UK so i'll check if it's available.[/QUOTE] Model Epoxy is available everywhere, just go to a store where they sell self build toys like model airplanes.

I dont know if Gorilla glue is available everywhere yet but I do know that that stuff does not let go.

Organizing nerf wars is a bitch.

[QUOTE=Hazard Fox;22218114]Try making Heavy's Natascha! [IMG]http://cache.kotaku.com/assets/images/kotaku/2008/08/heavy_natasha.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] And a working drum magazine.

Drum magazine would be correct, derp

[QUOTE=PeanutTHENINJA;22218586]Organizing nerf wars is a bitch.[/QUOTE] I mean seriously, first you have to buy a fuckload of energy drinks, convince someone to let us use their house, get everyone together, make teams, build forts and shit within the house, then on the last day clean up all of the darts and give them back to the owners. It's especially a bitch if they don't have a color theme.

I just called up a couple friends, they came over, we geared up with the shitload of guns I have here, then battled. Most of the time it's just spontaneous for me. One of my friends decides to shoot me with a Nerf gun, I retaliate, then we all get into a battle.

[QUOTE=DeVotchKa;22183669]Check it, bitches. [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/33vkisw.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] PLEASE tell me you know when this shit is coming to the US? The Double Barrel shotgun that Buzz Bee made was fucking awesome, but a nerf version would be fucking sweet!

[QUOTE=V3nom;22228659]PLEASE tell me you know when this shit is coming to the US? The Double Barrel shotgun that Buzz Bee made was fucking awesome, but a nerf version would be fucking sweet![/QUOTE] That thing needs a stock though, [B]BADLY[/B]

[QUOTE=venom;22229325]I don't see how this'd work?[/QUOTE] He says if you pass out or get captured then you're out. So it's more about endurance than anything.
