I still want some other guns that look cool. These include:
Big Bad Bow
Crossbow
Expand-A-Blast
SplitFire
Max Shot
I like to do integrations, and I really like improving on certain aspects of guns. For example, a problem with the BBB is that it takes a long time to reload, leaving you vulnerable. Being the short, small, young person that I am, the BBB is probably higher than my waist, which makes reloading even harder. That being said, I plan on integrating an AT2K into the front handle, and an SM750 into the scope. (if/when I get a BBB)
General Primevil, why would you single barrel your AT3K? They have (or had) 6 barrels so it would have a higher RoF.

Yeah man, you were acting like NHQ was cool when you were an admin there! Then all of a sudden, BAM just like Emeril, you go to NH and all of a sudden NHQ is the dumpster. What the hell man? I would like to see NHQ and NH work together, not fight each other. It would be good for the NIC methinks. And isn't that what you've been arguing recently?Geeze, Tals. Thanks for flushing the shitpot all over us.Actually I'm going to have to go with the crowd. You should have done this at NHQ, because your reputation around here is automatically shot, and you will never have a chance of respect in this community. Good job fuckwad.

And so does this this.
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...

Not only do green laser pointers cost $100, they are also class IIIa lasers with a 523 nm wavelength. Green pointers are not just dots, you can see the whole beam for 2 miles, which gives away your position and it can blind somebody. A laser pointer that powerful is highly dangerous if used incorrectly, and should not be pointed at the eyes. Why do you think they used LED's?I meant an actual laser.I already made the laser green, check my first post.
like not just the LED, but a laser.
By the way, nice Nite Finder! I was never a fan of the rail on top though, nor The Hulk. It looks cool though. Is it just the pictures or is the paintjob really glossy? You should use flat paint, I think it looks better (you may have different tastes though).

I hope you realize that they don't actually paint Nerf guns. The owners of them can re-paint them, but they don't actually paint Nerf guns when they are producing them. Whatever they use in the mold is pre-colored, then finishing touches are added with machines, not by people. Ever notice that you can scratch off the silver details of your oldschool-style Nite Finder with your fingernail? And the black stuff on the handle comes off where the two halves of the casing meet. Well, guess what's under the silver and black. Yup, you guessed it, the main color of the gun, blue!the paint was all off, like they hadn't taped it or spent any time at all.

AC/DC
Angus Young is absolutely one of the best guitarists EVAR! He is extremely creative and does some of the best solos I've ever heard, and he is very improvisational. Look at any of their songs. They are AMAZING. Thunderstruck, it's pretty hard to pluck that fast. And who would've thought of such an amazing riff? Back in Black. Rarely does a band use pull-offs, and NEVER that fast. And I've never heard a rythm guitarist as good as Malcom Young. AC/DC ROCKS.
Another really good band is Lost Prophets. Lost Prophets uses a lot of instruments and they're sound is different from most.
[Rant]
And I'm tired of hearing about this rap crap. IT SUCKS. There is no musical talent involved in rap WHATSOEVER. I even made up a song about it, but we won't get to that because I don't want anybody stealing it
. Some rap is just people talking. I can talk fast too, but does that mean I have any talent? No. I will never like rap, ever. Never I tell you!So you know what I say to rap? "For those about to rock, we salute you."

Edit: Grr typo (and no I am not referring to 'evar.' That was done on purpose)

Just what I was thinking... And I don't even want one. I never use my GameBoys anymore, 1. they're obsolete and 2. I like my iPod betterI don't understand how you guys can afford all this stuff, there's no way i can afford to spend that much money on just video games.
. Ploofull has two DS's (though one is his sister's). But he likes video games WAY more than I do. To each his own, I guess . Ploofull, I have nothing against games, and you're not like addicted or anything, I just don't like 'em as much.

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.

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
)

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?

#50141 Better Than A Nite Finder ?

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:

. 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!

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.

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.

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?

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...

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.

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.
