Camo in the Nerf world equates to a giant sign that says "SHOOT AT ME"As long as you don't show up to the same MN war as me in full camo, I'll be happy to hit you guys in the neck a few times.
Only if they can see where you are. I realize, in wide-range wars, camouflage definitely has it's use, but not as practical in constant-contact engagements, where both sides are in plain view of the other team ninety-nine percent of the time, whereas the camouflage serves as more of a team uniform.

Interesting fact here I thought I'd throw in: A stefan fired from a plugged, singled titan at maximum force has comparable muzzle velocity to a 40mm Airfoil round, and they both sting at close range.
Which is why they are almost universally banned from the nerf wars organized on these forums.
Why, yes, I understand that.

That said, nerf tactics are something I love to talk about, but are better taught through actually nerfing. I'd prefer if this thread come back to its original purpose, which was local recruitment. If Messiah would like me to close it and start over, that's fine. If you WANT to discuss specific tactics, start a new thread. Though, I warn you, most people who chime in have will have no idea what they are talking about.
Well, I rather like where this thread has gone to. Who doesn't ask questions before they join something? I have no problem answering questions from interested nerfers. I'll just ask that any more questions will be through PM.
If I move to St. Paul can I play nerf guns like GI Joe with you guys? Can I be Road Block? PLEASE?!
Yes. pew pew. :3

Wait...will I have to do push ups? Because I'm not really a fan of "physical exertion."

First of all, read this.
A million times no.
Team work is effective. Military squad tactics are, usually, not.
Generally speaking, going out and nerfing with your friends on a regular basis will do more to improve your teamwork and nerf iq than....how do you train nerf anyway? Wouldn't whatever you're doing just be, well, nerfing?
Anyway, knock yourself out, but I'd keep a couple things in mind if I were you: 1 - Nerf tactics are completely different than tactics using any other type of firearm. 2 - At any given nerf war you're only going to have your squad together for maybe a couple of rounds.
Now, of course, maybe you don't plan on attending any NIC type wars. Maybe you only want to throw your own wars. If that's the case, good luck, but remember that if you're using a bunch of new nerfers as practice for your well equiped and experienced team, those new nerfers will not likely have enough fun in order to want to become old nerfers.
I've taken all that into account already. my Squads are devided up by skill and rank. When we play within our ranks, we balance out the teams by such standards, so that it is fair play and fun play. We don't mind getting split up, as I tend to lean towards team-based tactics rather than squad based tactics, as moving in groups aren't very practical with more than 4 bodies. Thusly, if you wanted to be a nerd about it, you could say I'm taking the "Army of Two" approach.
Believe me, I know that nerf guns have few ballistic similarities to real firearms, and I have adjusted our rules of engagement as to compensate.
Interesting fact here I thought I'd throw in: A stefan fired from a plugged, singled titan at maximum force has comparable muzzle velocity to a 40mm Airfoil round, and they both sting at close range.

I have left the terms somewhat open so that adjustments can be made in adaption to lower velocity weapons and the like.
Look guys, I'm trying to make things as smooth as possible in my transiton from combat training to milsim, so forgive me if some of this may seem overkill or just plain dumb.
Edit: Because if I leave one thing out, y'all lose your minds.

One of the things I will be teaching is bounding, which goes something like this:
Let's say two players are moving in a team towards a treeline to flank a hole or a loser. when the two enter into the treeline, Player A will move 5 meters or so to the left or right of player B and find cover, for instance, a tree. Player B spots a Vulcan dug in about 30 meters ahead. Player A will signal B to move up. Player B will move up to the next available cover while Player A provides covering fire. when Player B is set, He will signal Player A to move up past him, whilst providing him with covering fire. Repeat until you are in a good offensive position to push on towards the objective.
Also, thank you goongala, for actually understanding what I'm trying to do here.

You are a great guy to Nerf with. I can see where the appeal to this is, but truth be told, its Nerf. You will never have guns accurate enough, or that shoot fast enough to make actual "training" applicable. Bullets are hard to dodge, so the goal is to kill an enemy before they fire. Nerf, on the otherhand, is really easy to dodge.
It would be like sending the National Guard after Neo from the Matrix... It might work, but it seems like it would take a while.
Although, I may be totally wrong. I'd like for your Nerf crew to come to an NIC war. I want to see what you guys can do.
What is this NIC you speak of?

This is nerf: we don't conduct "operations", we don't play in "theaters", we don't "train", we don't have military rankings, we don't use "squad tactics", and we don't wear all camo. This is nerf, not the fucking military.
First of all, read this.
Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of the Rangers.
Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster and fight harder than any other soldier.
Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one-hundred-percent and then some.
Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow.
Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.
Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission though I be the lone survivor.
Unless you know what it means to live and die by these six stanzas, MegaMouse, you can shut your shit-cave.
I regret to say that the military has taken over every aspect of my life, especially my hobbies, so if you feel that it's too much for you, leave it be. Simple as that.

I cannot fathom why people aren't jumping at this.
Because nerf is a game, and you're taking yourself waaaay too seriously?
So is basketball, football, soccer, hockey...they all have playbooks, why shouldn't this sport/game/riffraff?

Veet, were you rockin’ the melee? Hella!

Funny you should use 'solid' and 'shits blood' in the same paragraph.

It was good to be welcomed back with...such an awkward silence when I walked up. it's not like I walked in the middle of y'all and farted. Just kidding, it was great seeing both the old and new breed.

Not at all. We usual like having older players. In fact, then he would see for himself that we are legit.
Good! He wanted to come along anyways, and it would be nice for him to see for himself that you guys aren't a bunch of sex-offenders or something.

lolI blame you, calling a magazine a clip.
Your right, I have been using incorrect terminology. But the whole damn internet calls them "clips" nowadays.
You should come over to one of our Modding pow-wows and we can help you build one.I am actually using my shitty keyboard right now. The Model F is disassembled right now - I am adding keys to it.I blame your sub-par keyboard.
You can thank video games for that.
I'm interested in your pow-wows.
Dude, just buy an old Casio 88key keyboard, midi plug it, and map each key to a command. it's been done.
