Trust me, it's ONLY stock class. I would expect that they would appreciate Nerf, since Nerf is a lot like stock class. But it's nothing like speedball, and 99% of all tourney players are a-holes. Most woodsballers are pretty nice, but stock class moreso, but I know a lot of woodsballers play stock too.So here's my glass raised to the Stock Class Paintball forums, for not being a-holes!

#55030 Help With Creating A Website

I would like to make a website, and was wondering where to get started. There's so many things to consider; which host to use, (and no I won't use any of that Tripod or Geocities crap) what what coding languages to use, etc. etc.
Possible Hosts (Suggestions welcome)
Hostultra
Doteasy
Web1000
What language should I put it in? HTML? Where can I learn how whatever language I should use?
I will hopefully be attending a two-week class over the summer about Photoshop or 3D Modeling & Animation (I don't know which, or if I'll even get to do it at all) if that helps anything. I don't own Photoshop or any modeling programs though.
Oh, and everything has to be free.

Hmm, interesting idea.
I wonder how powerful it will be. I remember when I was helping put our trampoline together it was pretty hard to stretch the springs from the tarp to the base ring thing. I had to use the hook from a bungie cord to do it.
Yeah I was thinking of the spring flying out, too. On a trampoline the springs are already pulled a bit so they don't fly off and kill somebody in the face, but you're not going to be holding the spring back all the time (that would hurt after a while).
By the way, I'm digging your signature.

Isn't it something like, a barrel for mega Stefans (AT2K/SM1500 pump tubes, SCH 40 PVC, etc.) fits stock micros? And aren't you supposed to wrap the tip in electrical tape or something, so it slides through easier?

I expected better from such a respectable person as you! The correct terminology is "micros."Barrel mod is pretty easy, and mine is modded to shoot mega stefans, but if you put some brass in the PVC it would instantly shoot minis.
The Crossbow shoots megas and arrows. Here are some dart barrel materials:

Great first-time paintjob, though I was never a fan of the Splitfire/Powerclip colors. (I liked the transparent sides but not the solid sides) In fact at first they confused me, when I first saw a PowerClip with its barrels facing the right I thought somebody had painted it because I had never seen a PowerClips blue/yellow side, just the clear part.
That dollar store gun looks schweet, the cocking handle looks like it hurts though. You should integrate an NF into it.

Hello! I've got a few questions about Nerf ammo and the order form.
Which of these is like the normal Arrow that fits over AT2K pump tubes? What does it mean "with Clip"? Is the Buzzing Arrow like a sonic dart only it's an arrow? Target Master Arrows are the cheapest at less than $1.00 a pop, but are they the normal kind? I really want arrows! (I also want AT2K pump tubes and AT2K's but that's beside the point) Also, what are Gyro Rockets? Oh, and can somebody give me the dimensions of a normal Nerf Arrow?
I know this is sorta off topic but what ever... Is there really much of a difference between the Wildfire and the Rapid Fire 20, other than looks, and that the WF has a strap?
11 Inch 2 Pack Arrow with Clip $5.00
11 Inch Arrow $1.00 each
Buzzing Arrow 11 inch 6 Pack $5.00
Gyro Rocket 3 Pack $3.50
Target Master Arrow 6 Pack $5.00

I also need to know if the fins are straight (as on the BnA) or diagonal (as on the BBB) on which types of arrows. I'm assuming that if the fins are diagonal or curved it is more accurate because it will spin the arrow? Not sure about that.

#46303 Obtaining Nerf Guns
Posted by

General Nerf
Hello. I am fairly new to Nerf, and would like some more Nerf guns that are fairly good. I have read both sporkboyofjustice's and ItallionStallion's articles on how to find Nerf guns, but they don't help because I don't have access to the stores they talk about in their articles. I can only get guns from the store because I can't find any anywhere else. I am too young to drive and don't have a car. My family went to the local swap meet, and it seemed more like small businesses renting booths instead of opening their own store, rather than a giant garage sale as I thought it would be. I pictured people renting booths and putting stuff they didn't want on a table and selling it. Instead, I saw clothes, fountains, plants, rocks, and medieval weaponry (sweet...). I am too young to drive and the Goodwill store is pretty far away. The only garage sales I can go to are the ones that are in my neighborhood and in nearby neighborhoods. So how do I get discountinued Nerf guns? eBay has high prices, and I can't get Nerf guns locally. I know some kids who have discontinued guns, but they won't sell them. I know a kid who has a Lock 'n' Load that he never uses, but he won't sell it. My friend has a SuperMaxx 1500 that I really want, but he doesn't want to sell it to me because he claims he's going to sell it on eBay for mad money, yet he's too young to use eBay and his parents won't sell it for him. Does anybody have any tips on how to get people to sell you their Nerf guns cheap, or how to obtain Nerf guns somehow?
In case you were wondering, here's my arsenal:
1x AirTech 4000
2x SuperMaxx 3000 blue version, 1 has a broken pump handle
2x Titan
2x Hornet
2x Scout
5x Nite Finder old edition

#55329 Larami Dart Size

General Nerf
Yes that would probably work. You would also need to take a hot glue gun and burn the back end of the dart for a bigger hole, otherwise it will not fit over the air restrictors. Or you could just take them out, making your gun better. Another reason for taking out the air restrictors is that it actually damages the back end of the foam, which reduces the life of your darts. Make sure to cut the tip down because on a Larami, the part the suction cup attaches to is slightly less in diamater than the diamater of the foam, and the suction cup is slightly larger in diamater than the foam. And yes, it would probably work. You can also make Stefans, here is a tutorial.
Larami dart specifications specifications:
Foam length: 6cm/2.4 in.
Dart length: 6.6cm/2.6 in.
Tip length: 0.6cm/0.24 in.

Homemades
I was just looking at the Zero Breech thing under Homemades here on the Haven, and I started thinking. With that breech, you pull the 1/2" barrel out a bit, drop a dart in, and push the barrel back in. Well since PVC isn't extremely thing like brass or PETG, wouldn't the dart have a bit of trouble getting into the 1/2"?
So I was wondering if this would work: Do the same thing, but cut a hole in the 1/2" PVC too. Line up the holes and drop a dart in, then twist the 1/2" PVC. Would this work better or worse than the Zero breech, or not at all?

Dude, that's costly. It's usually $30 for the gun, 10 cents for a Stefan, and ~20 cents for one shot out of the little cartridge. That's ~30 cents for every shot, though Stefans are reusable. Still, ~20 cents a shot WILL add up quickly if you consider how good the RoF of this thing is.
It's still cool though. Way cool. I think it's good that you added air restriction. What ranges are you getting? I would restrict it to about 50' flat because of it's insane RoF for a single-shot gun and it's mad accuracy.

PVC is for megas, PETG is for micros. I'd say PVC and then if you want to shoot micros, wrap the front and back of the PETG in electrical until it fits in the PVC.
Edit: Oh, and I've never seen a quad-barrel SM750, but that would be just like an SM1500. I've seen a double barrel PETG SM750 though.

Okay, this is me posting from my friend's computer. He was going to register and post this, but no more users are allowed until Karma is finished. So this is not my mod, it's my friend's/clanmate's.
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!

Cool find though. I think foam is a better ammunition than a mix between sugar and air. I also think that parents would rather buy their children foam guns than sugar guns because they don't want them to get hyper, but children would probaby want sugar guns more. That is, if they actually knew that marshmallows are mainly sugar and air, but most kids don't know that.
Sporkboy, that's a kind of funny story. Poor dog though...

General Nerf
I got a NIB SM750, old school version. I have yet to modify it or even open it up. Ever since I took it out of the box, it's had this weird pumping problem. I have to pump slowly and steadily, and make sure I pull the pump all the way out, then push it all the way in. Otherwise there will be no resistance in the pump and it will not get air. Sometimes, even when I'm careful, it still gets no resistance. Sometimes when it gets no resistance, I pull it back as normal, then when I push it in, it seems fine. But when I get to the pump cap, the pump snaps back. Sometimes I hear a pop, sometimes not. Sometimes there is air in the tank, sometimes not.
There has to be something wrong, because I talked to PCMadness and CT, and they both said their SM750s don't have this problem. It is quite the annoyance and I want to fix it, but I don't know how.

I received an unmodded Splitfire from flamebo a couple days ago. I noticed that one barrel was shooting harder than the other. This was with stock megas. I twisted out the pegs and tried mega Stefans and stock megas again. Same thing.
Do Splitfires normally do this? Also, it's madly inaccurate. I would blame that on the poor quality of my Stefans, but it's with both Stefans and stock megas.
I'm going to PVC it and see if it helps.
Edit:
The barrel on the left (transparent side, second shot) shoots farther than the barrel on the right (solid side, first shot) if that helps.
