#47694 Atomizer Slingshot Mod

Hey, are the Nerf slingshots powered by a bungie? If so, I assume it's weak. Has anybody ever thought of replacing the bungie with a more powerful one, and/or adding more bungies to it? Also, you could add a small barrel to the front to make the shots more accurate.
Has anyone ever thought of using a REAL slingshot? I think they're way too powerful to be used safely with micro or mega darts, but they would be great for balls! I mean, seeing as what they can do to paintballs, I don't want to get hit by a dart coming out of a slingshot... Anyways, how awesome would it be if you aimed one of these babies at someone, and it shot the ball like 50 feet?! That would awesome! Okay, I've used the word "awesome" too many times...

Well, not really. I need an SM750 so I can integrate it onto the 1500. Man, that fake airtank is so big. I bet I could fit like 5 SM750's in it!

Same with mine, but there's only 3 rectangles...My cement driveway is cut neatly into 7-foot squares.
NO. You absolutely do not do that, becasue that is how people get to thinking that their NF gets 80' and they saw a Crossbow shoot 200'.
Two words, I'll even bold them:
MEASURING.
TAPE.
I agree with you on the measuring tape thing, but dude some NF's do actually get more than 75 feet, even though yours might not. I hate it when people say that somebody's ranges are inacurrate, false, etc., because usually they are just saying that because their gun gets less range than the posted ranges.

I wouldn't consider those "lucky" only because most of the time the person will start running or keep running and then deny he/she was shot there. Unless of course it was from close range, and it left a huge welt. Then it's funny because you say "Oh, really? Then what the hell is that welt doing there?"By the way, I do realize that sometimes you get lucky and hit someone at the ankle or foot, but I don't count on those shots.
Anyways, yeah you're right on the effective range thing.

What do you mean by stop motion?You do know how extremely tough it is to make a 15-minute long stop-motion film, right?You see, Family Guy is a good, funny, quality show, and the makers put a lot of effort into making it. Robot Chicken on the other hand, is complete garbage. Trash. I could make a better movie in less time than the show runs, which is a mere 15 minutes because it's so crappy.

Almost like an AT2K 2-pack, but they seem like plunger weapons. Hmm...
It's almost like an AT4K, but again it seems to be a spring gun.
It's like the N-Strike, but with more guns.
I didn't name all of them but they're pretty obvious... So Gamefreak, how about that cookie?
Edit: Whoops, I meant Gamefreak but typed Boltsniper...
that is such an awesome smiley!

Umm... I don't know which one...So close to that cookie, but theres one more.
Seems to be like a Tech Target, but it's a Tek gun, so... Tek Target!
AirTech 3000 knock off, but plunger based? It's got 6 barrels... But it's also one of the older models
This looks like an SM250 or SM350
Same as above but larger and yellow
It's like an MBZ, but it looks way smaller... I wonder if it's lighter or quieter?
This thing reminds me of the BlastFire for some reason...
It's a shotgun... It reminds me of the Crossbow, I don't know why though.
It's like a PowerClip but in a shotgun-like shell!
Do I get my damn cookie now?

Make 'em all except #2? That's what I'd do. Spring break is almost here, you'd have time...
I don't really like the idea of 2, but 1, 3, and 4 sound pretty awesome to me. But I think if you make number 1 and it fails, you should try number 2.
And for number 4, what do you mean no secondary shot? Mod an SSPB and tape it on the side.

1. Like cx said, who cares? Get a new one, they're much better.1) What's the difference between the 1st and 2nd generation iPods? As far as I can tell, I don't see any physical changes.
2) The 4GB iPod Mini claims to hold 1,000 songs. Now, say I have 3,000 songs but they still only take up 4GB. Does the iPod mini run on capacity or does it just stop accepting new songs once it reaches 1,000?
3) If you were to make a suggestion, should I get the 3rd generation touch sensitive iPod or the 4th generation click-wheel?
4) Where's the best place to get a good price on an iPod?
5) Is the 5th generation iPod going to arrive soon? If so, should I wait until it comes out before ordering one?
6) Does the iPod shuffle allow you to choose a playlist or is it completely random?
7) What's the difference between the regular iPod and the iPod+HP?
2. The iPod "4GB" iPod Mini only actually has 3.75 GB once it is formatted. I suggest you get the new "6GB" Mini which should have between 4.75 and 5.75 GB once formatted. That is, if you want a Mini. I got the 19.75 GB "20 GB" 4th gen. Also, if you like your music to sound good, 1,000 sounds isn't going to fit on the 4 GB model.
3. Well, it depends. They are both the same price, but the 3rd gen comes with more goodies. The 3rd gen, in the box, has everything the 4th gen has, plus a dock and a remote thing. Personally, I have no use for either of those items. Also, the 4th gen has a much better scrolling and playing system, the click wheel.
4. All prices on iPods are the same, unless you buy one used (I don't reccomend this). I suggest you get it at an Apple store or Best Buy because they give you better warranties.
5. It's like buying anything else that's popular, after a while a new version will come out and yours will become slightly outdated.
6. The iPod Shuffle does neither. You can not choose a playlist, but it isn't exactly random either. Like taita_cakes said, people have reported of times when the same song was repeated 8 times in a row. Most CD and MP3 players, unlike the iPod Shuffle, are programmed so that when they are put on the "shuffle" or "random" setting, they will not play the previous song again until a different song is played.
7. It's really just a marketting gimmick. According to iPodLounge, you shouldn't buy the iPod+HP even though it supposedly has more features. The regular iPod has just about the same features as the iPod+HP does, and some more. The iPod+HP doesn't have a warranty, can not get a warranty, and will not be serviced by Apple or HP. Just get the Apple version.

. I think it would be really cool if you put a piece of string or something connecting the two plunger handles, so you could cock them simultaneously. Now that would be sweet!. And I think it actually looks pretty good for being unpainted - the barrels match the tape!

That looks VERY uncomfortable. Grinch, the reason I said string instead of something that's non-flexible (like what you suggested, a bar) is that with string, you can prime both of the NF's at the same time, but you aren't forced to shoot them both at the same time. And if it wasn't flexible, it would be VERY hard to pull the triggers at the exact same time, and you might damage the plunger.Then it might look like this:

But SuperMAXX was better. Better shells, and there were some better guns. They didn't release the SM750 or the SM5000 into the AT line, did they? Boy do I miss the old days...And what about the Airtech series that was a rip of the supermaxx series?

I think paintball is pretty fun, but when every single person is just playing the "spray and pray" game it gets pretty boring. I think Nerf is harder and takes more skill than paintball because you have to reload and prime, when you don't in paintball. The closest thing to reloading is if you have a "rock and cock" pump gun with a ten shot hopper. Then you have to pump one time every shot (it's an easy pump because it drops the paintball into the chamber, rather than filling up an airtank) and reload every ten shots.
I agree with Piney and Bad_Karma. I like Nerf a lot more than paintball (funny how my account name is MattPB though
)

Here's the moment you've all been waiting for kiddies......
~Snippity~
The orange thing on top is the cocking mechanism like the Maverick. There are ammo holders on both sides. The switch turns the light on and off. A light flashes to activate glow in the dark darts each time the trigger is pulled.
Am I the only one here who thinks that thing looks uncomfortable and ugly? I hate P90's, and that's almost kind of like one...
Tell me the firefly isn't the coolest thing you've ever seen. Btw, these are shots of painted models, not what they will look like EXACTLY at market.
