#138495 The Chief Is Using Nerf!

Posted by Green Riptide on 03 February 2008 - 11:52 PM in General Nerf

Agreed, that very much resembles a NF



#138505 The Chief Is Using Nerf!

Posted by Green Riptide on 04 February 2008 - 12:37 AM in General Nerf

In 3 you can equip different armor sets, including this one (Close Quarters Specialist or some such).



#143578 I Have Done It!

Posted by Green Riptide on 03 March 2008 - 01:08 AM in Modifications

Not to be an asshole here Slug, but not everyone even has access to something that would be able to use the specified drillbit. My drill just gave out on me and since it honestly wasn't used for 8 years I'm not in a huge hurry to replace it; other folks may not have their power tools with them at college/said power tools are contraband, or the younger readers might not be allowed to use any they would have access to anyway. I (and probably many others as well) appreciate the information; if I do end up getting a replacement drill I'll pick up one of these bits while I'm at it. In the interim, though, I don't think having an example of how someone got by without the more refined tools is bad at all.



#139770 Disk Shot Vs Nite Finder?

Posted by Green Riptide on 12 February 2008 - 05:03 PM in General Nerf

I've recently discovered that minimized Disk shots look amazing, so I may have to get one.... however, NF's are 5$. The choice here is obvious.



#146401 Easy Airtech 2k Barrel Replacement

Posted by Green Riptide on 23 March 2008 - 01:49 AM in Modifications

This particular airtech is one of 6 that I gobbled up from Kohl's when I heard that they were stopping selling them.


Wait, what?!
Shit, I'd better go clear out the rest of the SR256 Kohls' stock!
Must get there before Lynx! :D



#146168 At3k Or Recon

Posted by Green Riptide on 21 March 2008 - 04:01 PM in General Nerf

Two guns or one gun?
Tough question.



#155657 Mp3 Recorder

Posted by Green Riptide on 12 May 2008 - 10:48 PM in Off Topic

Definitely Audacity. Freeware and infinitely useful; make sure you download the MP3 plugin. (MP3lame I believe it is called?)



#141468 Electronics In Nerf?

Posted by Green Riptide on 20 February 2008 - 01:09 AM in Homemades

When asking yourself how to make a semi-automatic blaster, use this simple process.

Step 1: Has Captain Slug already done/thought of it? If so, it can be done.
Step 2: If Captain Slug has NOT done/thought of it, it probably can't be done.


Seriously though? Theres been some use of solenoids to open valves and things, but that's about it. If you were going to bother to use enough juice to cock a spring-powered semi-auto... you might as well just try and build a railgun. Wonder if anyone has used electromagnets in a homemade yet.



#148866 Custom T Shirt Designers?

Posted by Green Riptide on 02 April 2008 - 05:34 PM in Off Topic

I use zazzle for black tees (because as far as I know they're the only ones who offer them) and Skreened for everything else. They're pretty laid back and custom orders are usually no problem whatsoever- PM me if you'd like to see some of the stuff I've done with them.



#143382 New Gun. Wild Planet "signal Launcher"

Posted by Green Riptide on 01 March 2008 - 07:42 PM in General Nerf

After seeing Dark Shrimp's mod and not seeing a trigger, I have found myself wondering where it is.



#149392 A Bit Of A Puzzle

Posted by Green Riptide on 04 April 2008 - 09:23 PM in Modifications

Epoxy can be removed almost as easily as hot glue, really. Well, mine can anyways.



#144726 Spawnball: Scun's Next Take On Ctf

Posted by Green Riptide on 11 March 2008 - 03:51 PM in Nerf Wars

Star Wars: Battlefront with a single, moving respwawn point? Do Want. Sounds like this would turn into tournament-paintball-style CTF where the actual flagging action is minimal until all or nearly all of the other team is downed anyway.



#142432 Memory Stick Problem

Posted by Green Riptide on 24 February 2008 - 08:47 PM in Off Topic

Blow on it and put it back in the SNES.


er, wrong system.

If it has a lock make sure it is unlocked; maybe try putting it in the PSP and then going to USb mode and seeing if the PC reads anything. It really just sounds like it just crapped out on you. See if you can return it under warranty or anything; more likely with a Sony or SanDisk one than others. QJ probably is better for this sort of thing.
Slightly OT, what firmware are you running, and is this a phat or slim PSP?



#143488 2008 Jspb Combat

Posted by Green Riptide on 02 March 2008 - 05:16 PM in Nerf Wars

Very nice footage/editing. The play area seems pretty wide open, but I guess that works for CTF.
Super plunger burst attack GO!



#143919 Xbow Question

Posted by Green Riptide on 04 March 2008 - 09:23 PM in Modifications

Just to double-check, this is essentially the same for all springers, yes?



#142663 Paper Wrist Band

Posted by Green Riptide on 26 February 2008 - 06:02 PM in Nerf Wars

industrial-size rolls of colored e-tape are wonderful multi-purpose tools.
