#46109 Ripped Off, Need Help Fixing.
Posted by MattPaintballer on 13 January 2005 - 09:12 PM in General Nerf
Anyways, this is why people need to read sellers' feedback. I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but did either of you check the seller's feedback rating? Sure it was 97 or so percent, but did you see how many negatives they have? 3500. That means three thousand five hundred people were scammed or mislead. eBay help even says that the percentages are irrelevant compared to the number of positives versus the number of negatives. Of course, I probably wouldn't buy from somebody with a 65% positive feedback rating, but I wouldn't buy from somebody with 97% and 3500 negatives.
No mean to nag, just saying you should check feedback ALWAYS.

Therefore you didn't get the item you bought, so you can tell that to eBay . It looks like the tank is sitting farther back because in that pic, there are no ammo holders. Here's a pic of it with ammo holders, but the lighting isn't as good:Yeah, thats the one i have, but for some reason it looks like the airtank is sitting farther back. Also, another reason to hate netclearances, the pic in the item discription was a nib older version!

That website (http://scitoys.com) says that rail guns on circular tracks are impractical.If you guys want a cool electromagnetic "gun," try a rail gun with a circular track, which would allow you to accelerate the ammunition over a period of time before actually firing.
#46264 Maveric Rev-6 Mod

40 feet flat is on par with the powerclip, which gets about 80 feet max. That's not to shabby for a pistol w/ 6 shots.
A Powerclip... gets 80 feet... Single barrelled, maybe, but definitely not an average, 10-shot Powerclip. And who would single barrel a PC? That's like double barrelling a WildFire or a RapidFire 20...

#46651 Stefan Darts
Posted by MattPaintballer on 28 January 2005 - 05:38 PM in Homemades
Whoa whoa whoa. Don't do that, it's dangerous. Seriously, the darts could wrap around someone's neck. I know this is pretty improbable, but don't take a chance.I did something pretty cool with darts. I used fishing line and tied two darts together (I made a loop with the string, and put it in the pointy end of pin, then glued the pin in). I put one dart in a gun, ant let the other stephan hang down, then shot. You need a fairly strong gun. The bullets will spin around in a circle.
Edit: I think they might be fun and cool and stuff, just not for wars. But they're like numchuck darts !

#46692 Help With New Nf's
Posted by MattPaintballer on 29 January 2005 - 07:05 PM in General Nerf
Wrong. The new NF's have one less piece in the plunger assembly, but it's basically the same thing with two pieces molded together instead of separate.As far as I know the internals are identical.
#46824 Primary Weapons
Posted by MattPaintballer on 02 February 2005 - 06:09 PM in General Nerf
I think you've been watching "The Matrix" too much. It's actually called the N-Strike Unity Power System. I'll agree with you though; the Hornet is a great primary weapon. I'm going to integrate an AT2K on/in one just for good measure .I seriously like the Hornet from the N-Strike Trinity (it dosent say on the box but the inventory list at Target calls it the "trinity"). The Big Salvo is also pretty good, only problem is that its hard to use. You really have to train you trigger finger for that thing.
SuperMAXX 1500's are great. The Hornet and the SM1500 (old version) are the two most powerful stock guns I've ever used. I'm pretty sure AT2K's are the exact same thing as SM1500's, though they have a smaller case and seem to have a worse seal with the turret?
RF20's and WildFires are so much fun... does anybody know if you can fire the RF20 without emptying the turret?
Good Sidearms:
Nite Finder, Lock 'n' Load, SuperMAXX 750, SharpShooter II.
Edit: Added more guns.

#46943 Simple Nite Finder Mod
Posted by MattPaintballer on 06 February 2005 - 01:15 AM in Modifications
I got a Nite Finder as a gift from MattPaintballer. I thought it was pretty powerful stock, but I thought it had more potential. Because my mod materials were not with me, I couldn't do much other than open it up, stretch the spring, and band it. I thought the “laser” was pretty lame; it doesn’t even help you. If you have a night war, it gives away your position, and it doesn’t work really well in the first place. I thought it was kind of dumb that you could move it side to side. I took it out of the gun when I had it open. So here are some pictures of my slightly tweaked Nite Finder.
Just your typical unmodded Nite Finder.
No laser, just a hole. I painted it orange to match.
What did my sister put in there this time?
Hey! That’s a dart!
If you haven’t noticed, I took off the barrel-like piece and placed it where the light used to be. I was joking about painting it orange. It works well as an ammo holder, and has a man-powered secondary weapon built in. What I mean by that is you can kind of fling the dart at your enemy if he or she is charging at you – no cocking required!

#47135 Behold! My Awesome Modification!
Posted by MattPaintballer on 12 February 2005 - 09:03 PM in Modifications
You've read my signature, but that was just an idea. Now, see the real thing...
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you:
THE CRUTCH2K's!!!
Behold!
You can see the materials I used in the background... Zip ties, electrical tape, and kitchen scissors. All professional grade!
I've got a nice little built in sight on there... It's actually a thumbscrew that holds the handle in the crutch. It works great as a sight! Sorry about the flash on that one, my super-mondo-vastly expensive 5.5 megapixel digital camera has too many features; I don't know how to turn off the flash... It's set on like auto-flash or something.
Jimi Hendrix 0wns y0u! He r0x0rs y0ur s0x0rs 0ff! Anyways, in this one you can see both crutches because one is the Crutch2K and the other was used to take the pic. I actually have an AT2K on the other crutch too, but I attached it after I took the pic.
Screwed up image removed.
As you can see on that last picture, one of the dart heads fell off, and the zip ties are loose. The dart head, well I didn't notice that when taking the pic. The zip ties are all messed up because our carpenter dude tried to file the rigid things down for something (I really don't know why) and now they don't stay, so I had to use electrical tape to hold them, and it came unstuck...

#47146 Ipod Shuffle Question
Posted by MattPaintballer on 12 February 2005 - 11:37 PM in Off Topic
Iron's partially right. Sometimes it's good to have a Mini, they are considerably smaller and lighter. But I still think my 20GB is tiny as hell. I still say don't get a Shuffle. Get something else. Like those iRivers I were talking about...I disagree. The Ipod Mini is the biggest ripoff out there. There is not much space, but it's not worth it it to just put a few of your songs on it, like the shuffle is designed to do. Either get a shuffle or go all the way and get a 20 gig.

Posted by MattPaintballer on 13 February 2005 - 01:46 AM in Modifications
That's what I was thinking in the first place, but there's one problem. I don't think a barrel alone would be able to support somebody without being damaged, so I would have to nest it. And the main crutch leg isn't circular. It's shaped like this: )¯( I don't think I would be able to fit anything in there, it seems too small. And you might want to get crutches now, except for the $40-$50 price. Yeah... I only got them because I needed them - I broke my ankle.Now what would be cool would be making the main leg of the crutch into a barrel, then just put the tank with a couper or something onto the barrel, so the firing pin is close to your hand, and with some bondo work, you could make it fairly concealed. It almost makes me want to get crutches.

#47153 Dremel Bits
Posted by MattPaintballer on 13 February 2005 - 01:50 AM in Homemades
Actually, I used the brown grinder on the Titan. When I was cutting the restrictor at the base of the gun, I first used a green cone-shaped bit to get through it, then I used a brown grinder to smooth it off. The brown piece fit almost perfectly in the barrel stub thing. It's soooooo smooth now.The brown and grey grinders suck pretty much altogether. I have no found a good use for them yet.

Posted by MattPaintballer on 13 February 2005 - 01:57 PM in Modifications
I'm not gonna answer that one just because how I broke it is really lame. But then again, how I broke my wrist was lame. And how I broke my front teeth was lame, too. Whatever...and how did you break your ankle?
I was thinking of single barreling the 2K and then having the barrel run down beside the main crutch leg. Then I could just duct tape around the whole crutch.

I have two blue versions, and on one of them the pump handle broke off. I barely use it. In fact, I only use it when all my friends are borrowing my other guns, which is never because I like my NF better.

#47456 What Is The Difference Of These Guns?
Posted by MattPaintballer on 17 February 2005 - 10:35 PM in General Nerf
It's weird that you say that, because I think that too. It seems to me like the SM3K is like the AT3K and AT4K combined. 3K has 6 barrels, 4K has 12, and the SM has 8. The SM is about the size of the 4K, takes about as many pumps to prime as a 3K, and they get somewhat similar ranges. Also, the pumps and pump handles seem to have problems and are poorly designed.not really, the Larami was a tidbit more powerful. Larami was then acquired, and the gun was re-released as the nerf SM3K.
actually, I think that's the most re-released gun of all. let's see,
Larami 2500
Supermaxx 3000 Yellow, Green, And Blue.
This "Sharper image" knockoff
oh, and the AT3K&4K seem to be based on the SM3k.
that's 7 rereleases/reincarnations

As was I.I was wondering wtf this was doing at the top of the post list...
Hey, that Tech Target preview picture looks awesome! It's too bad they made it look all fugly-like when they actually produced it. I wish they made it look like the one in the pic. Hey, I like that Smilie!
Edit: $#%&@ %$#!*& why do I always make one mistake per post? UGH!
