I glued those little round peices in place on the little metal rod that come out, and used thick wire (in this case a burned out sparkler) to wire the trigger on to the peices. Haven't had it fail me yet. Sorry if that description is rough, but the baisic idea is to let the trigger spring help push the valve shut. Works for me.Man, I have that same problem with my Titan. Im having some trouble fixing it.I'd say my titan was a lemon. The valve never closed right, so I only got to shoot it once before I had to open it up and fix it.

I'm looking for someone to ship me 4 Mavs to Georgia. PM me if interested. I'm hoping someone will do this as more of a favor for me rather than for profit. I'm thinking $10 per gun (they are $8 retail, right?), plus shipping.

The goal is to go all Jon Woo with them. You know, one in each hand. Dual mavs would be awesome.Not to stifle new ideas or anything, but why don't you just cock it? The strap on my TTG gets in the way alot and decreases range. Since the Maverick fires as fast as you cock, wouldn't it be faster to just cock it?

It worked for me. Its not really that hard. Just use a Larami as a guide and cut the mega the same length. Make the tip similar to how you would a normal home made dart, but since the mega already has a hole, just shove something in it to keep the hot glue in the tip (like an unsharpened pencil).
Most larami guns seem to have a small post in the barrel, and you need the dart to fit over that or the gun won't fire properly. That is why you melt the inside a little bit. It makes the back end a little more durable (since the foam is denser) and it will also fit properly.
Sorry if my explanation isnt great, Im not 100% at the moment.

This may be a dumb question, and this could also be the wrong place for it, but why not let users link to offsite avitars (with mods obviously having the say on what is accepted and not). That way people could have customs without using your storage or bandwidth so much.
Oh, and while we are talking about new general pool avitars; how about some Sealab 2021?
I think calling avitars is kind of silly, but a lot of people seem to be doing it, so I might as well.

Yeah, I saw that, and I can't believe an $8 gun is going for +20 and +shipping. Im betting you could find a kind soul on these boards to buy at ship it for less.I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet, so I will. They're on eBay, with Buy It Now prices of around $20-25 and lower starting bids, but most likely those bids will end up in the same price range.

I made laramis by cutting mega darts to their length, then plug the end with hot glue and a weight. To make the end I stuck an unsharpened pencil in, put a dab of hot glue in, put the weight in, then capped it off. The pencil allows you to make sure the glue doesnt run down the dart and mess things up. Then, if you need to, use the hot glue gun to melt the inside edge of the back of the darts so that it will trigger the valve that most (maybe all) larami guns have in the end of the barrels.

I agree, iPods reliability leaves something to be desired. My friend has gone through 2 in as many years. Both died approx. 1 month after warranty. Meanwhile my Zen is still going strong, which is good since my warranty went to crap the second I put an 80gb HD in it.

Actually Ive used both those Dells, and the 51-m. In my experience the 51-m still comes out on top, tho I do love my XPS. The XPS performs slightly better than the 51-m, which performs a lot better than the 9100. The XPS has the worst battery life, followed by the 51, then the 9100. The 51-m and 9100 are similar in size while the XPS is a beast (I should know, I carry this shit around campus on my back!). Id say its close between the XPS and 51-m, with the 51-m coming out on top due to its smaller size and slightly longer battery life. It also has much nicer built in speakers, even with my wonky "sub-woofer" battery pack.I'm not a big fan of their laptops either. They market them as if they are the best PC gaming machines money can buy, which isn't even close to the truth. The fact is that they're probably the best $3500 gaming laptop, but if you want to spend less you should look at the dell XPS or Inspiron 9100 (what I have) and if you want to spend more (or price isn't an issue), fuck alienware, go for a Go-L laptop.
Another nice but lesser known brand is ABS Computers. I've never used one myself, but I have multiple friends in my clan who game on them and love it. Unfortunately for my college computer my parents werent willing to go 50/50 on a brand they had never heard of.

southpaw that reminds me of a song by DaVinci's Notebook. Its called "Title of the Song" and is supposed to be a boy-band type song. Instead of normal lyrics tho, they sing the ideas that would be behind the lyrics of every boy band song ever. See lyrics here.
Title of the song,
Naive expression of love,
Reluctance to accept that you are gone.
Request to turn back time,
And recitfy my wrongs.
Repition of the title of the song.
Good stuff.

IDM: Intelligent Dance Music. Horrible name for a decent genre. Its basically more complex form of the standard dance music you will hear in clubs. It has a similar sound, but is too complex and often shifts in ways that make it not as suitable for dancing.
Happy-Hardcore: Techno music with a high BPM and a upbeat sound. Scientifically engineered to make you sterile.
Ska: Popular a little late in the 90s (similar to punk's era). It pulls from many genres and started off of the reggea beats. Its most clearly identifiable for its heavily accented offbeat. I stand corrected
Emo: Can be acoustic or electric guitar. The lyrics must be about how sad the singer is, and he has to sound like a whiney little prick while singing them. Crying into the mic is also frequent.
Screamo: Pop-Rock or Pop-Punk style playing with the whiney emo lyrics and girlish high-pitched voices. EDIT: Meant to meantion, screaming the lyrics, as implied by the name. This was a joke definition anyways.

Im with Black Wrath here. I may think Linkin Park lacks any simblance of talent, but you know what? I still have their songs on my mp3 player. I may not think they are worth my money, but I'll still listen to them.
On the other hand, I do care where my money goes. I dont want to pay $20 for a CD and have the artist I like get a penny. Sure, I may have denied bands a couple dollars in total lost sales because I didnt purchase their albums, but I happily denied the greedy fascists a few hundred.
Oh, while were talking about formula, has anyone here seen the video for KoRn's "Ya'll Want A Single"? I'm not a big KoRn fan, not their new stuff anyways, but the video was interesting. It was cool to see a mainstream band go against the machine, even if it was just marketing.

Yet another example of how dumb fanboys are. (general term, sorry if a girl made that)
Although, thats actually kid of cool. You know, all the HUD stuff is off of the main display, thus more emmersive. Way to go glorifying the system you bash, bro.
Personally I dont use the stylus. The wrist band also has a little plastic peice that you can use. You put the wrist band over your finger, tighten the little slide, and can control the game with a finger instead of a stylus. Actually makes aiming feel more like a console FPS since you use your thumb to aim.
Still loving my DS. I think this marks the first time Nintendo has made a system that had better graphics than the competition.

Im pretty sure it has the same tank as a sm5k. I modded mine by plugging the release valve and putting a breech loading brass barrel (cant remember the length, maybe around 8") on it and easily got ranges over 100 feet (although I never did a specific range test). Heck, I think it actually gets ranges better than my 5k since the internals were all so compact. It's accuracy was great too.Are you sure? It doesn't seem like that a brass barrel would help. How far does it shoot with this mod?I dont know how "rare" SS2s are, but I know they are damn fine guns. Stick some brass on one and you have, in my opinion, one of the finest long range weapons in nerf.

Cool idea, but know that you will never be able to use it outdoors. Even with the red tip its too realistic looking. A teen was shot in my neighborhood a long time ago by a cop who thought his toy pistol was real (granted, he didnt drop it when ordered, but still). I wouldnt reccomend taking it out in public, especially not if it fires any sort of projectile.

I personally dont know why that would happen. Anyone smart enough to make a post worth reading hopefully isnt in it for the points. This isnt EQ37. You dont post here so that you can level up or anything.I just realized that between now, and the initilization of karma NerfHaven is going to die.
Anyone smart enough to start an intelligent thread will probably wait until Karma starts so that they can get the karma points(?) from the thread.
So the only new threads that pop up will probably be chock full of hot spicy noobage.
Who really gives a rats ass about Karma points? The whole system is designed so it works itself out. Personally I plan on ignoring my karma points unless I find myself in danger of admin action (which I really dont see happening). If you post for points, chances are your post isnt going to get you any + anyways.

First, that statement is wrong. Much of the main stream is the same, but most of the music in general is not. Even if it were, that doesnt make it a good thing.And if you listen to most rock/punk rock type stuff, it's all mostly the same anyways.
Nickelback isnt punk anyways. None of what you will hear on the radio is punk rock, it is pop punk, which is a completely different genre.
Thing with punk is no one claimed they were good at playing music; they said they were good at getting drunk, hitting the strings, and yelling bloody murder at The Man.
