Posted by dadude778 on 11 November 2007 - 08:34 PM in Homemades

In my basement I have a table which I put my guns on and a place where I put frequently used tools( screwdriver, hot glue gun, e-tape, pliers, ect) I steal all the other tools I use from my dad and I work on my basement floor. I also have 30-40 feet of assorted pvc and cpvc. Finally I have my fbr which is straightening in my cpvc.

#131621 What Do Other People Think Of Nerf?

Posted by dadude778 on 07 December 2007 - 07:23 PM in General Nerf

Yeah I am pretty much the same. My parents are OK with it but could care less. Most of my friends love that I nerf and come over to nerf as much as possible. The younger kids on my street want me to mod their guns but my father will not allow me because he thinks we will be "sued". One time the word at school got out that I nerfed and I just showed them a link to my sprinkler valve air rifle and they shut up. The only thing that parents don't like is the money and time I devote to it. They think that its a waste of time to sit in the basement and make stefens or mod. But once I told them how cheap stefens were to make and the improvements I made to a gun they didn't bother me anymore.

P.S. In school don't say nerf GUN say nerrf BLASTER( bad experience)

Looks amazingly clean and proffesional, looking forward to more of your work

One question

Doestn't it make the front of the longshot very front heavy?

and if so does affect the ROF on the longshot

Because it seems like it would be hard to get a good grip on the bolt

Thanks

#132638 Suggestions For A Noob

Posted by dadude778 on 16 December 2007 - 11:05 AM in General Nerf

I would also suggest getting a dremel. It can be your all in one tool.

Trust me he doesn't need to worry about tools. His dad is a woodworker and he has the workplace of a god.

On topic. Yeah get a bbb and a longshot( hard to mod but worth it). A few nf's are alway a good investment as well.

171 ft? What is that? Do you mean 17 ft?

No that was just the total distance which he divided by the 4 trials to get the average.

Cornman- that actually is a good idea. I think I will do that on my next mod.
Thanks for the tips guys!

Did you mean Blasphemys tip of adding a Disk Shot spring. Cornman didn't add a suggestion.

Sorry but, dear god how can you ride with such a small stance?

Oh my freakin god, I wondered the same damn thing when I saw how narrow the stance was. Dude, even if you are short, your feet should be at least shoulder width apart. You probably fell alot didn't you?

That is not my real stance. I took them off a while ago and only put them back on for photo purposes

Posted by dadude778 on 15 August 2008 - 04:41 AM in Off Topic

I have a SLo-V

Thats a pretty good RTF trainer. But not better than a Slow Stick.

I may not be into RC airplanes, but I do like RC cars.

Rc cars are kinda fun but not my thing.

Come on someone must be into the hobby, I swear I saw a thread where Piney talked about it briefly.

#168988 Rc Airplanes

Posted by dadude778 on 14 August 2008 - 05:49 AM in Off Topic

Hey I have been away from Nerf for a while because I have been into planes. I searched and could not find a thread dedicated for planes. I am new to the hobby and only have a trainer but just ordered a flitelight bug.I currentely have a T- 52 by JK aerotech with a Hacker brushless and Hacker X-30 Speed controller. I am useing a 3-cell 2100 cellpro LiPo and I like it alot. I got a 30 minute flight time about a month ago. I forgot what servos I am using and cannot check because I am on vacation. I am using my friend radio and charger but just ordered a Spektrum DX6i and a cellpro 4s. So are any of you guys into rc planes and if you are what is your setup?

#131225 Outtakes Of Nerf

Posted by dadude778 on 02 December 2007 - 09:36 AM in General Nerf

It was a 1vs1 war in my basement with my friend Anthony. I was using a double shot and he was using an nf. I was reloading the ds and the left shell got jammed. He started to close in on me so I just reloaded the right shell. We both turn the corner and he shoot first. I feal a thud in my ds and then I shoot. First his shot comes out the barrel then mine. His shot went straight into my gun. The funny thing is that the his stefen flipped around and nailed him in the earlobe. We could beleive that from 10 feet away his shot went into my gun, it was amazing.

#132236 Other Sports Or Shooting Sports

Posted by dadude778 on 12 December 2007 - 09:13 PM in Off Topic

I like sport shooting, especially shotgun shooting. Archery is fun but I normally have so much sugar I can never keep my shots consistant. rifle shooting is fun too.

I shoot skeet (shut your mouth) and trap with my Stoeger Condor Over-Under.

My highest sporting clays score is a 72.

I don' know how to score but the second time I held a shotgun I hit 21 out of 25 clay disks ( Is that any good)

#127361 New Nerf Blaster From Hasbro

Posted by dadude778 on 25 October 2007 - 05:24 PM in News

It look descent.

Pros.

Clipped pistol.
Takes longshot clips.
Since you can take off the stock and other parts you won't have to take out about a million screws like the longshot.

Cons.
Stock look flimsy
Laser is probably cheap
And how you have to cock it

I just know that I will get one

#127405 New Nerf Blaster From Hasbro

Posted by dadude778 on 25 October 2007 - 07:44 PM in News

Wait, I'm confused, when it is cocked does the plaunger end come out of the back like an nf?

And if so does that mean you could band it like the nf?

Sorry if this question is retarded, I'm new

#129060 Nerf...is It Stress Relieving Too You?

Posted by dadude778 on 08 November 2007 - 07:17 AM in General Nerf

Yeah it feels great to make a cheap peice of plastic and springs shoot twice as far as it did. But it totally sucks when the outcome is not as good or worse than stock. Then yoiu feel like and idiot.

You're right. Anyway, you said you made that in the Christmas spirit, well you do realize what you have to do don't you? You have to shoot carollers who come to your door with it.
Why else would I have made it?

You could use it to take out "santa" when he comes down the chimney ^_^

#129467 Maverick Blowgun

Posted by dadude778 on 11 November 2007 - 08:17 PM in Modifications

Like Foam Shooter said it would not be worth it and you might as well just by some 1/2 inch pvc and a 30 dart pack of taggers if you want a blowgun, plus you wouldn't ruin a perfecly good mav.

#129014 Magstrike Ar

Posted by dadude778 on 07 November 2007 - 09:33 PM in General Nerf

Make sure no plastic scraps are potruding out the back this could mess up the seal. It happened to me and I just had to sand them down.

I agree with Shadow Hunter, you better mod the magsrike well because that thing sucks without modding even in an indoor war.

#128820 Longshot Help

Posted by dadude778 on 06 November 2007 - 06:01 PM in Modifications

Yeah ok I did this and it made the range slightly less but the noise went away . Anyway I will tell you exactly what I did to give you more info
I opened it up and got to the plunger tube
I used the dremel and cut through the part in the back until it was wide enough for me to pull out the ar
the only thing that I didn't do to the plunger tube and bolt was to take out the peg
should I do this or will it affect the range/accuracy in a bad way.

Sorry but I am new and don't know how to set up pics yet

#128789 Longshot Help

Posted by dadude778 on 06 November 2007 - 12:33 PM in Modifications

Hi I am new to nerfhaven and am having some problems. I decided to buy a longshot about a month ago. After geting annoyed that it couldn't fire stefens I decided that I would try to do carrtoon mod to start. So I took out the ar and added another spring and put it back together. I shot it and it made a super loud noise and the streamlines went half the distance as before. I tried my stefans, CTDs and every other dart that worked in the longshot and they all didn't work .Whats did I do wrong? I checked the seal on the plunger head and must have opened it up 5 or 6 times with no success.

Thanks
