I got the barrel break from UPS today. :iia:
[QUOTE=Instant Mix;27633379]because it looks really bad. and also that cops may mistake it for a firearm. They would think that was a firearm more than a bright orange and yellow bit of plastic[/QUOTE] I'm going to keep the Orange tip bit on it.
[QUOTE=Instant Mix;27633379]because it looks really bad. and also that cops may mistake it for a firearm. They would think that was a firearm more than a bright orange and yellow bit of plastic[/QUOTE] Cops mistaking it is a bit of an issue, but I think whether or not black looks good on a nerf gun is more a matter of opinion/implementation.

[img]http://u.cubeupload.com/Coco911231/UntitledHDR2.png[/img] I Decided to weather my paint job a little, It looks much better than before, but i can't decide whether to paint the slide black or keep it silver Agree for black Disagree for keep it silver Informative for other suggestion (post it)
How did you weather it, just sandpaper or...?

What I meant was that hundreds of little kiddes get a spray can and spray Black on , and leave it at that. Looking at your previous picture , it looked like you were heading down the same route. Clearly not. [b]The weathering really looks good.[/b]
[QUOTE=yuki;27669844]How did you weather it, just sandpaper or...?[/QUOTE] Drybrushing with silver paint, looks really good for stuff like this, also I've got a little surprise coming up, it will make the gun look unique, instead of just a plain ol' revolver.

[QUOTE=yuki;27707113]Can you explain the process? The result is pretty neat, I might go try it out.[/QUOTE] It's where you put paint on a brush (silver paint here) and wipe off most of the the paint on a paper towel or on some scrap material (to where you can touch it with your fingers and very little, to none comes off) and then going over edges and corners (Becuase that is where all the wear should be) until you have a result you like.
I've decided to post pictures of my Longshot, Longstrike and Maverick combo: [img]http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/1808/dsc00134i.jpg[/img] [img]http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/7716/dsc00135i.jpg[/img] [img]http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/8535/dsc00136st.jpg[/img] [img]http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/362/dsc00137if.jpg[/img] That's my "Blue Scenario" loadout which is the reason for the black duct tape instead of orange duct tape.
Speaking of Mavericks, Here's a little tidbit to hold you off till I find the materials for my "surprise" I mentioned earlier. [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/gx7GyV.png[/img]

That rail is shit on a maverick, its so hard to use with anything on it. I understand that's an aesthetic piece, but it's still a useless rail.

[QUOTE=MedicWine;27774296]My laser almost broke because it flew off when I did that.[/QUOTE] let the slide go back [I]Slowly[/I]
[QUOTE=MedicWine;27741433] I understand that's an aesthetic piece, but it's still a useless rail.[/QUOTE] It's something like an 18mm rail so I can't even mount my aimpoint replica on there, such disapointment.
[img]http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/1015/picture51x.jpg[/img] aw yeah I'm really starting to love my blue/black loadout
[QUOTE=PeanutTHENINJA;27782674][img_thumb]http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/1015/picture51x.jpg[/img_thumb] aw yeah I'm really starting to love my [B]Un-Focused Camera[/B][/QUOTE] [editline]31st January 2011[/editline] Also I found some leather strips at a craft store, braided them (like a boss) and put them through the circular hole on the back of the slide on the maverick and tied it up to make a loop, Make cocking it 100 times easier. Ill post a pic of it on when i post a pic of my "surprise" now that i have the materials for it.
Fuck wheres my glasses, peanut.

I have a longshot, a maverick and this weird green gun [img]http://www.thetoyshop.com/media/toyshop/products/Hasbro/Nerf/Zoom/343301.jpg[/img] Should i get the recon?

I have a nerf gun made out off lego & knex :smug:
[img]http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/3617/b004.jpg[/img] I do not have enough nerf guns
get recon or the flip clip thingy?
[QUOTE=Ryuken;28015257]get recon or the flip clip thingy?[/QUOTE] If it's one ore the other, go with the flip clip. The recon is weak and has low modding potential.
