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

[QUOTE=FlameCow;23964887]They don't sell anything directly from their site? Bummer. I was wondering because Toys R Us seemed to have no Buzzbee Hunters in stock. Well, no stores did.[/QUOTE] I don't think the Hunter's been officially released in the US/UK yet, or at least I guess not, since no sites have it listed and the site I linked was a Nerf blog from Singapore. Perhaps the gun was released there to examine how it would sell?

[IMG]http://imgur.com/zS2jE.jpg[/IMG] Who is this mysterious youth? This is none other than John Du Hart V, FacePunch ex-moderator and web developer. What is so special about John, who we affectionately call compwhizii? Well, compwhizii was born on April 22, 1994, meaning he could not legally work without an official work permit until April 22nd of this year. But, as sources have confirmed, compwhizii was commissioned to work on the next version of Facepunch, Facepunch: vb4, for at least two months prior to John's 16th birthday. What does this mean for your benevolent leader, Gary Numan? Well, for one thing, this explicitly violates the [url="http://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/statutes/FairLaborStandAct.pdf"]Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938[/url], in the United States Code as [url="http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode29/usc_sec_29_00000201----000-.html"]29 USC §201[/url]. Because Facepunch Studios also engages in interstate commerce (insofar as Garry and his partners profit off of both Facepunch Forums and Garry's Mod in more than one United States state), Facepunch Studios is liable for an $11,000 minimum fine. In accordance to the "hot goods" provision of the FLSA, Facepunch Forums, being a direct result of illegal child labor, must cease shipment; in this instance, [url]www.Facepunch.com[/url] would cease to exist until all applicable fines are paid. Furthermore, the way in which Garry Newman compensates John Du Hart V is wholly and obviously illegal. Wiring money directly overseas (from England to the United States), circumventing constitutional provisions for income tax, is even more troubling than the exploitation of a blissfully ignorant minor. Neglecting to fill out a W-9 form further proves Garry Numan's intent to willfully circumvent the IRS and, in doing so, mock America and Americans. [url="http://www.edd.ca.gov/pdf_pub_ctr/de573ca.pdf"]These "under-the-table" wages take money away from important civil projects like education and healthcare[/url]; working to decrease the American standard of living. Gary Newman hates you, your community and your country. [IMG]http://imgur.com/5AkjW.jpg[/IMG] John Du Hart V. Unbeknownst to him, he is being exploited at the expense of not only him but America. [IMG]http://imgur.com/EBRMk.jpg[/IMG] Compwhizii purchased this tuxedo with laundered money from none other than Gary Newman. Garry's penchant for white-collar crime doesn't stop there, however. The two highest-ranking moderators, Hezzy and Dragon, receive compensation for their work (Source: Steam chat with none other than Benji). The meager sum of money wired to them directly from Garry Numan violates the federal minimum wage for both Hezzy, a citizen of Great Britain, and Dragon, an American citizen. The irregular hours and unpredictable nature of moderating such a large community lead to an unprecedented amount of stress on Hezzy and Dragon which clearly warrants at least the federally-mandated minimum wage. [img]http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/1/10057/505145-garry_newman_1__large.jpg[/img] The man himself, Gary Numan. Also pictured is the camera he took as a bribe for providing intangible forum services. Garry Newman's trail of deceit, sadly, does not end there. His nonchalant attitude towards the law corrupted the seemingly incorruptible Benji last year. Benji took bribes, many from minors, in the form of video games. What did Benji do in return? Grant these members Gold Member, and objectively worthless forums upgrade which comes at no cost or difficulty to him. [IMG]http://imgur.com/60XBy.jpg[/IMG] Benji, pictured with a prostitute in England's Red District. This prostitute was purchased by 12-year-old forum member ketchup. What does all of this mean to you, the forumer? Quite simply, posting on Facepunch or buying Garry's Mod is tantamount to exploiting child labor, ignoring the plight of the worker, and using community status in return for cash bribes. You are a terrible person for posting here insofar as your parents are terrible people for having you or for using blood diamonds to signify their shallow, loveless relationship. Your posting here directly affects the lives of millions, and not because your posts are bad (they are). This is Deeper Than Posting. How can you atone for your sins? Quite simply, all you need to do is stop posting here forever. I left for months and came here solely to post these shocking revelations. I plan to leave again, for I am not a monster incapable of compassion for the common man. I write these internet words not to incite revolution but to incite thought; too many of you have been too complacent for too long. In reality, you are all complicit in crimes against humanity. [IMG]http://imgur.com/gROEl.png[/IMG] Thanks for reading my Facepunch magnum opus! Hopefully the words I wrote convince you to reconsider your position here. You know the consequences of continuing to post. Whether or not you decide to stop is up to you. Knowledge is power. [IMG]http://imgur.com/17w2B.jpg[/IMG] Fight The Power. RIP Radio Raheem.

it's been asher-roth'd.

Someone needs to delete that post.

What the fuck is that all about, anyways? Something about some dude not being old enough and violating British law?

Best to just ignore it.

looks like we just got asher roth'd

[QUOTE=FlameCow;23972145]Does anybody have the Barrel Break yet? Is it worth it?[/QUOTE] I've got it. It's only worth buying it if you are going to mod it ( Simple mods , nothing hard ) , otherwise spend your money on something else.

I hope the Hunter gets good stock distance, like about 35 ft. That'd make it worth it to me. Oh and I want it to be easy to mod.

Is the Hunter like, one bullet at a time? No sort of internal magazine or anything?

I swear to godjesus it's like a guy at the nerf plant stripped just a single screw, this little fucker has been in the same position no matter what for the past 20 minutes :argh: trying to remove the air restrictors in my maverick, can't get the case open

The hunter is direct plunger by the way, and can shoot most if not all types of darts.

I have some spare cash in my PayPal and the clear Maverick has free shipping on the Target website, and I also happen to have just the right amount for the Maverick. Buy? y/n Oh wait target doesn't accept PayPal, well fuck

[QUOTE=venom;23973979]Is the Hunter like, one bullet at a time? No sort of internal magazine or anything?[/QUOTE] No, you have to load each round by hand. Also, I've seen that the Barrel Break and Alpha Trooper are out in the U.S., but I can't find the Spectre anywhere, and I really want that one. Is it even out yet, or is nothing yet? I've seen pictures of people with other guns with the extended barrel on, but not with the actual gun itself.

Part of new policy to curb modding.

[QUOTE=Zeddy;23975630] It may have been intentional. Part of new policy to curb modding.[/QUOTE] does nerf realize modding is the reason they sell 99% of their guns or are they trying to pull an activision

[QUOTE=Zeddy;23975630]No, you have to load each round by hand.[/QUOTE] Aw. Well, actually that's not that bad, I've always manually loaded the rapidfire lever action thing, because the magazine sucks ass and breaks my darts.

I wish there was a way to make the longshot scope worth a crap. It's a clear thing. Of plastic with markings on it. I want to put a magnifying glass in it but think it'll make everything all hinkey.

Where can a guy get a virtual debit card using Paypal around here

[QUOTE=cccritical;23975877]does nerf realize modding is the reason they sell 99% of their guns or are they trying to pull an activision[/QUOTE] Nerf doesn't care about its older fans. I doubt the modders make up as large a percentage as 99%. If they did, they wouldn't be going the route they are with their current designs. Look on pretty much any nerf forum and everyone is whining about reverse plungers and underpowerd recon reshells (if you look at the internals, that's pretty much all they've been releasing recently (barrel break aside)). Just look at the spectre. It's a larger maverick with smaller dart capacity, less powerful design, and will be more expensive because it includes a bunch of useless tacticool BS.

[QUOTE=FlameCow;23976727] [img]http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/9862/dsc00012by.jpg[/img] ^Stock Alpha Trooper. My favorite Nerf gun as of now.[/QUOTE] didn't even realize that was out yet, but it does look pretty awesome, reminds me of a grenade launcher somehow and I figured out how to reload the vanilla maverick faster than popping the cylinder out

[QUOTE=FlameCow;23976134]I like the magazine. How does it break your darts? Maybe you should shorten them.[/QUOTE] I think I cycle it too fast, the empty casing gets ejected, then when I push forward, the loaded cartridge goes dart end up, gets stuck above the hole that it gets chambered in, and snaps in half.

Well I just bought a clear Mav from Walmart. Says it'll come this friday. WHICH REMINDS ME THAT'S MY SISTER'S BIRTHDAY FUCK WHAT DO I DO FACEPUNCH

[QUOTE=Protocol7;23977545]Well I just bought a clear Mav from Walmart. Says it'll come this friday. WHICH REMINDS ME THAT'S MY SISTER'S BIRTHDAY FUCK WHAT DO I DO FACEPUNCH[/QUOTE] I already got a clear Maverick for my birthday. It's not really that bad and I actually like it. I just saw your edit. RUN FOR THE HILLS MAN! RUUUUUUUUNNNNN!!!!

[QUOTE=Mikesword221;23977600]I already got a clear Maverick for my birthday. It's not really that bad and I actually like it. I just saw your edit. RUN FOR THE HILLS MAN![/QUOTE] Yeah I figured that I might as well get the "limited edition" clear Maverick. I've already used one so I know they're pretty damn good. I can imagine how tacky it will be with my silly solid yellow red dot sight so I think I'm going to be posting some funny pics soon :D

I can't post my collection, but i've got a Recon, half of a Recon (buddy broke it and threw away the body, not even thinking to let me try to fix it so i was left with the attachments), a Longshot, a Vulcan, a Maverick and some weird pistol, can't remember what it's called.

[QUOTE=cccritical;23977659] if you can't see them I'll upload them to photobucket[/QUOTE] I can't see them, so +1 for photobucket. Anyways, here's my collection: [IMG]http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee90/theoriginalrandomman/DSCN0076.jpg[/IMG] Haven't gotten to modding anything but the longshot yet, although the nightfinders have their AR's removed (strangely enough they didn't work with them in). I also have another longshot which I'm planning on modding and selling (1$ at a rummage sale, though no darts, scope, front gun handle, and its missing a clip).
