#280 I Long For A Lano
Posted by rawray7 on 03 January 2003 - 02:28 AM in Nerf Wars
Also, if I am in charge of hosting it, then it will definately not be called LANO, and may not be at the usual location.

i think the usual spot is pretty good. if you are dying for something else: i have found an okay spot up in La Canada (about 10 minutes wester on the 210 than pasadena), the only problem is you have to deal with frisbee-golfers, because some of the best nerfing areas are on or near a frisbee-golf course. there is an open river-bed that's a good spot a few minutes up some trails from there, but i think it might be too confusing to group mass hords of people there. it has water there, and food about 5 minutes away.
maybe i can get my wussy 12-year-old followers into nerfing shape. they preformed poorly at armageddon, the only good move i saw by any of them was when my brothers friend (about 11, kind of tall for his age, asian, short hair) shot VACC (when almost everyone was watching). There were only three people left in the game and VACC had just capped off the other kid, pistol style.
EDIT: oh, i might be able to make a SDNO, and having it over spring break improves my chances of being able to go.

Anybody who's bringing a bunch of friends, make sure you forget to pick up the dipshit who won't count hits, mmmkay? Right.
i think steve brought that dipshit...i only brought the dipshits who yelled at that dipshit, and whined about him being a dipshit. i am hoping my brother's friends grew up a little since last time, or i am not bringing them.
#671 Clan/nerfer Regestry
Posted by rawray7 on 17 January 2003 - 12:44 AM in General Nerf
not quite 17...more like, 9. and my email is rawray7@hotmail.com.Other members: none on NH or NHQ but there are about 17 of them
I really would like to have a more consistent flow of wars in the so-cal area, and i think i am going to try to host a (most likely small) war between YANO and the possible SDNO during spring break, and if any of you clans are interested in a war, email me, or Personel Message me either here or on forum-125.com.
#1296 So Yea, I Have A Brass AT3k Now....
Posted by rawray7 on 11 February 2003 - 09:36 PM in Modifications
well...if anyone else is having this problem, then i suggest future moddifiers of this gun either: replace the pump right from the get-go, or, don't plug the pump.

If I recall correctly, there were some pretty nice breech mods on a 5k as well as Ray's xbow. I think he had it off during the war (modular design) because of some problems but it looks like it will be sweet when he gets everything worked out.
yeah, this weekend i am going to re-do that breech using PETG tubing. the stuff it perfect for it, because it cuts easily, has the correct inner diameter, and its clear-factor is a bonus. Once i get it shooting more than 5 feet, i will make sure to submit pictures of it, and possibly a step by step instruction thingy.
Zero, if you are looking at the 5k of the kid with desert camo pants, then yes that is a breech loader made with a 1/2 schedule 80 barrel inside a 1" PVC outer shell. That outer shell has a good sized piece removed from the top to put the dart in through. Connected to the gun is both a 1/2" and a 1" connector, so the whole thing is removable. Those details should be right, seeing as how i (helped) modified the gun, but it's user, Iceman17, may have changed it a bit since. Most of the guns that my clan uses have a breech.
#1948 Weights For Stefans
Posted by rawray7 on 03 March 2003 - 12:59 AM in Homemades
wow. another fellow washer-weighted person. that's funny that the same idea appeared simoutaneously(sp). yeah, i use #6 washers, although i think i will be switching to 1/4" slingshot ammo, due to popular YANO complaints of partially exposed weights, and the fact that washer darts seem to hurt more.I just go to the hardware store and use these small washers. They fit perfectly in the dart and i only need to use 1.

also, would homemades and/or brass/PETG 5ks be allowed? i know it's your style, but indoor homemades could cause some problems. there is one solution which will allow you to have your cake and eat it too, which would be to require paintball masks to prevent from the injuries bound to happen. with that rule, you should suggest long pants and shirt too.
on a side note, i think it would be cool if people wore kneepads, which would add some interesting sliding tactics on the hardwood.

#2157 Co2 Powered Homemade
Posted by rawray7 on 11 March 2003 - 08:34 PM in Homemades
*the piece i am talking about is the part that (standardly) goes from the bottom of your handle, where the tank screws in, to the front of the gun (just below the barrel). when using it with a homemade, you would have the tank screw into the regular spot, but the other end go into a female fitting that you purchased. your going to need a really good valve if this idea is going to work, i don't think a sprinkler valve will take that kind of pressure. if i were you, and obsessed with using paintball parts and using co2, i would just throw a brass barrel onto my paintball gun. (seeing as how your gun doesn't work, this isn't an option)
#2181 April Yano Planning Thread
Posted by rawray7 on 13 March 2003 - 12:54 AM in Nerf Wars
anyways...i am thinking that they should be about 3' high, so you have to duck a little, about 6' feet wide, to alow for two or three people to be there at the same time. i think that i would use either cheap and dark fabric (something that can withstand a dart) or blue tarp material. if you want to get really schnazzy, i could try and find a way to put either some bitchin' taglines on the bunkers (of course they would be appropriate for public eyes) or nerfhaven.com or both or nothing. one final question, should i attempt to make the barricade fabric with as little opacity as possible, or should it be see-through enough to make out that there is a person behind it?
#2350 Good Sniper Wepons.
Posted by rawray7 on 18 March 2003 - 11:40 PM in General Nerf
to answer your question. supermaxx 5000 would be considered the sniperlyist, and mod it like on this site. but if you live in la, just sch. 80 it if you want to use it in a war.
#2352 Barricades At YANO
Posted by rawray7 on 18 March 2003 - 11:52 PM in Nerf Wars
on a side note, please don't vote if you don't plan to be at an LA based war. i haven't seen this happen so far on NH, but it happens way too often on other boards.
also take into consideration before voting, the fact that barricades don't have to and are likely not to be used for every round.
Thanks for the spelling corrections.

#2433 Good Sniper Wepons.
Posted by rawray7 on 20 March 2003 - 12:45 AM in General Nerf
one, i was under the impression that no one, not even cave-nerfers, used the ball barrel or the dart barrel. i would recommend using neither, and just putting a new barrel on it: brass, PETG(PTEG, whichever order it is), or sch. 80 PVC.Anyway, if you do somehow get your hands on one, forget the dart and ball barrels. Take the arrow shooting one, poke out the air restrictor in the tip. Then, where you screw the barrels in, chizel out THAT mesh air restrictor. Now you have a gun that shoots 100 feet plus with darts.
#2434 Sniper 5k Mods
Posted by rawray7 on 20 March 2003 - 12:53 AM in Modifications
i'd say for next time, try looking around a little before you eat up the boards with 2 topics in a row. this is also in the wrong section. it should be in mods.
on a side note, i don't think searching "pimp'd 5k" on google will get you anything useful.
#2501 War On Iraq
Posted by rawray7 on 20 March 2003 - 10:15 PM in Off Topic
okay...after only a day of bombing, ground troops were sent in, mostly raw soldiers, and not monstar amount of vechicles. well...this seems crazy; in most wars, one would bomb for days, taking everything important out before sending in troops. now, the reasons i think it's smart to do the opposite: 1. everything we destroy we are going to eventually have to rebuild, because we are planning to take control of their governent. (replace, take over, what's the difference?). 2. it takes 250 million gallons of oil to supply the army in iraq for one day, while on the move. by keeping more of the tanks and vechicles still, we are saving gas, and putting less emphasis on our supply lines. 3. We went in against UN approval, and there are going to be reprocussions. Sending in human soldiers is begging for a chemical or biological response; and if we get one, then we can tell the UN, "I told you so." if we keep bombing, and prevent chemical or biological weapon use, there will be less proof to show the UN, even if it is saving our Marines lives. also, by sending the elitest soldiers (also the ones that will suffer the least damage to chemical or bilogical agents) to charge the capital, we can provoke use, but minimize casualties. 4. we are killing less citizens by sending in humans. 5. it is much easier to negotiate when you aren't inside a tank. surrender negotiations are something that we are definatlely banking on by launching a ground campaign. 6. Iraqi civilians will not see airplanes as saviors, and even if they did, airplanes aren't going to be the ones running the country when we are done. The human element is going to get a lot more people on our side. 7. i think that human soldiers will keep terrorism against civilians at a lower rate. with an enemy you cannot defend against (our planes), one must funnel their angle at the country controlling the planes. with the enemy being someone you can kill(our soldiers), they are the target of your anger.
now, i don't agree with the war. i would have, with UN approval. but, Bush pussed out of the last vote that was scheduled, after seeing that 3 countries were already saying they would say no. i think this is because he wanted the last UN vote before the war, 1441 to be a winning vote. i also don't agree with trying to replace the government in iraq...because i don't think we need to be the worlds police. and if we are going to be the police, there are a lot of other places we could be.
there are definately going to be mass reprocussions from this attack; especially if the ground assult is attacked by weapons of mass destruction. no one is happy when their family members and friends are dead. bush knows this, and still sending them in anyway is smart in the 7 ways i said, plus some; but is also counting on a lot of choices on their part, the biggest being their surrender.

next, i think that would be sort of a cool war style. a '6 on 6 king of the hill tournament' seeing as how spoon threw the gauntlet, it's his team vs. another (preferably mine), then winner goes on. whoever comes out after all teams have fought at least once wins. winner gets a cookie. limited to 3 lives, to save the onlookers time. i dunno, what do you guys think?

amen to that.Same for that Blackblade dude.... I'm watchin him.... I mean 30-somethin posts in a few days is a high indication of a lack of life.
blackblade, you have been on this site for 4 days, and you have 45 posts. there are maybe 2 worth reading. about half of them can be answered using the different sections of this site alone. mrgrinch and jrbill2006 have been doing the same, but not quite up at the same rate. i am sure all three of you have great things to say, but seriously, chill out. you three are the reason i almost edited my comment about not having to filter through complete 'crap for posts' on this site. please look around for the answer before you put 4 topics in the same forum, and are the sole owner of all 6 replies in each (i know that is an exaggeration). if the kharma system were here, my browser wouldn't even let me look at your posts.
#2546 Liquitron Modification Testing
Posted by rawray7 on 22 March 2003 - 04:49 PM in Modifications
Really wanting to turn the liquitron into something, i've been thinking about what was said at YANO, about the liquitron acting as a back-up tank, in theory. is there anyway to prove that with the liquitron emptied, it takes less pumps to re-pressurize the tanks after the first shot? i haven't been able to think of a way to test it, without adding a pressure guage to the main tank, which probably wouldn't work too hot. it's not really a big enough tank to make much of a difference, either...so the experiment might not be worth trying.
