#248351 September Mnno 09'

Posted by MercenaryXero on 23 August 2009 - 09:42 PM in Nerf Wars

Strong maybe, I'm too lazy to check the calendar.



#250996 September Mnno 09'

Posted by MercenaryXero on 20 September 2009 - 02:47 PM in Nerf Wars

It sucks that I couldn't go to the indoor war, but I had stuff to do. One of these days I'll make it to one.

The outdoor war was pretty fun, my guns performed well, even though most of them need some repair. (that's actually the reason that you were spared the wrath of my SNAP/titan, the stock had a fracture in the section where the plunger rod hits it)
I thought my 1v5 last stand (or was it 4?) was pretty good, as was team powerball.
DTC was alright, but we need to figure out a way to prevent the times when rushers fire at the core after getting hit. I did it once because I didn't feel anything hit me, and the atmosphere of chaos as multiple people rush tends to confuse everyone as far as hits are concerned. Also, the momentum of sprinting at a wall and then wildly attacking is really only stopped by the wall. I suggest that the core be not directly reachable, as in high up/ behind a perimeter of some sort. The time we played it at highland went really well, I attribute that to the core being out in the open. Anyone else have any suggestions on how to fix this?



#255539 Late Fall Minnesota Nerf Outing

Posted by MercenaryXero on 06 November 2009 - 08:13 PM in Nerf Wars

Well unless someone wants to provide me darts, (or sell them at a reasonable price) I'm most likely not attending.

Or I could try to implement my auto-sword idea for maximum badassery



#255349 Late Fall Minnesota Nerf Outing

Posted by MercenaryXero on 04 November 2009 - 11:15 PM in Nerf Wars

Where on the magical scale do CS darts fall

Because that's all I got



#258051 Late Fall Minnesota Nerf Outing

Posted by MercenaryXero on 05 December 2009 - 02:31 AM in Nerf Wars

I'm going to try and run a minimal setup, so if people want to have some extra ridiculous guns, I'll need one for that round.

Also debating making a super ghetto sword, considering as my previous plans were sidetracked by a month of messing with linux and other stuff.

EDIT: So my parents just have to go and schedule a family gathering today. Really sorry about this, but I probably can't attend now ;_;



#185758 The Snap-1 Compact

Posted by MercenaryXero on 26 October 2008 - 08:55 PM in Homemades

Lol, I was just going to build this. Now I'll wait for your assessment before doing mine.



#200842 Finally

Posted by MercenaryXero on 03 January 2009 - 03:10 PM in Homemades

Bomb-ass shit detected.

Love the sight, and of course the cleanliness.



#185140 Bbb Reinforcement

Posted by MercenaryXero on 23 October 2008 - 05:51 PM in Modifications

This is pretty much what I did when I put a new spring in my BBB.



#177532 Non-nerf Applications Of Nerf Guns

Posted by MercenaryXero on 15 September 2008 - 04:06 PM in General Nerf

Mostly just taking potshots at squirrels in the backyard. (Is it me or are there a LOT more squirrels than usual in MN this year?)

And while on the topic, I once surprised one by coming around the side of a car, then got a headshot. The thing did a backflip and got the hell out of there.



#177810 Non-nerf Applications Of Nerf Guns

Posted by MercenaryXero on 16 September 2008 - 08:11 PM in General Nerf

Not really. I live in Colorado we have deer, bears, mountain lions, bobcats, coyotes, elk and tons of other wildlife quite literally in my backyard.


Well those animals are more respected than the average squirrel...

But really, shooting stuff at fucking mountain lions isn't a good idea at all, mostly for the one who isn't a fucking mountain lion!



#185551 My First Self Designed Homemade

Posted by MercenaryXero on 25 October 2008 - 08:34 PM in Homemades

What kind of PVC are you using for the pressure chamber? I can't tell if its 1.25" or 1".



#252314 Minnesota Halloween Nerf-out '09

Posted by MercenaryXero on 01 October 2009 - 05:03 PM in Nerf Wars

I'll probably be able to attend, so put me on the definite list. Now I have at least a little motivation to work on my current project.



#254997 Minnesota Halloween Nerf-out '09

Posted by MercenaryXero on 31 October 2009 - 11:54 AM in Nerf Wars

Oh shit I just woke up and there's nobody to give me a ride. It sucks, but I guess I wasn't prepared at all anyway



#316058 SPANO

Posted by MercenaryXero on 23 May 2012 - 03:49 PM in Nerf Wars

Posting to say that I am alive, aware of this, and considering attending.



#189070 My Bigbow

Posted by MercenaryXero on 11 November 2008 - 04:02 PM in Homemades

And I thought I was all done with my homemades for the year...

Heh. I'm definitely considering making one.



#185447 Minnesota Halloween Nerf Outing

Posted by MercenaryXero on 24 October 2008 - 11:53 PM in Nerf Wars

Anyone wanna sell me a Big Blast/ other similar airgun at the war? I'm in the market.



#181081 Minnesota Halloween Nerf Outing

Posted by MercenaryXero on 02 October 2008 - 07:29 PM in Nerf Wars

I'm almost sure I can attend if it's at Highland, but I dunno about the other place.



#186868 Minnesota Halloween Nerf Outing

Posted by MercenaryXero on 01 November 2008 - 05:25 PM in Nerf Wars

Would an unplugged singled titan be allowed? There would also be a fair amount of tubing, decreasing efficiency. Just wanted to know before I do some cool shit.



#187343 Minnesota Halloween Nerf Outing

Posted by MercenaryXero on 03 November 2008 - 09:50 PM in Nerf Wars

I must say that my SNAP is now upgraded to an unhealthy level of awesome.

How awesome?

Well topic-worthy awesome.

Once its finalized, of course.



#188169 Minnesota Halloween Nerf Outing

Posted by MercenaryXero on 07 November 2008 - 10:52 PM in Nerf Wars

I'm pretty much ready, got my SNAP up to a magnificent level of coolness (you'll see what I mean tomorrow). Darts are made, etc. I'm only gonna bring a couple guns to cut down on weight and bulk, so I'm fucked if my SNAP or its sub-assembly craps out on me.

Wanna use the one I used last war if yours craps out?


Sure, but I don't think it'll be necessary. Mine is in great condition, I just replaced parts of the plunger that were ready to fail. Also if the SNAP itself breaks, I've still got the awesome integration.

#198660 Windows Tricks/downloads

Posted by MercenaryXero on 24 December 2008 - 01:54 PM in Off Topic

Ew, prepackaged computers...

The first thing I usually have to do on my setups is have a disk full of the apps/ drivers I need.
Second, install stealth module.

Dude, do you know Kyaw? We sit in math and talk nerdy about all this type of stuff.

Yeah, I know him. Hell, we tried to start a company with a couple of dudes. :P

Also, kinda on topic, I'm replacing my graphics card/ motherboard/ RAM/ case cuz shits blowin up. Also future-proofing.



#229814 May Minnesota Nerf Outting

Posted by MercenaryXero on 12 May 2009 - 02:58 PM in Nerf Wars

Eh, I could probably go, wasn't planning on it before but attendance looks strong...

One question for the host, though - would my usual primary be allowed? Others can vouch for the relatively modest ranges/ power of the titan tank, as well as my non-douchiness. Its been allowed at the other wars I've been to, but ultimately its your call.

Also: WTB AT2K and 2x Big Salvos



#180649 Cosmetically, What Can I Change?

Posted by MercenaryXero on 30 September 2008 - 03:01 PM in Homemades

Well, the crossbow has a squared-off design, whereas this would need to be rounded. (PVC) If you sheathed the main tube in some kind of shell, it could replicate the original design better.



#242549 Minnesota Ex-sof War

Posted by MercenaryXero on 18 July 2009 - 12:11 PM in Nerf Wars

Put me down as a maybe for both, I just returned home and there's quite a lot of things to be done.



#243576 Minnesota Ex-sof War

Posted by MercenaryXero on 24 July 2009 - 01:23 PM in Nerf Wars

I'm not going to be able to make it to today's war, but expect me tomorrow.



#206432 2009 Edition Bbbb

Posted by MercenaryXero on 25 January 2009 - 08:28 PM in Modifications

I have one of these, and I know it shoots >75 with a too-tight barrel.



#247239 Rifling Barrels

Posted by MercenaryXero on 16 August 2009 - 04:30 PM in Homemades

You can't rifle a nerf barrel effectively, the air will go through the grooves around the dart. I suppose one could make special darts, but that would be a pain in the ass.



#272037 April 2010 Minnesota Nerf Outing

Posted by MercenaryXero on 12 April 2010 - 09:28 PM in Nerf Wars

I rise from my sleep
My winter hibernation
I shall attend this

lol haiku

But yeah I'll be there, assuming I don't get stabbed or something.



#273285 April 2010 Minnesota Nerf Outing

Posted by MercenaryXero on 25 April 2010 - 01:18 PM in Nerf Wars

Rain wasn't bad once you got used to it. I've also realized that using an exclusively long range blaster is totally incompatible with my playstyle, hopefully my current project will fix that. Although there was one time where I got two successive hits while dual-wielding a SNAP and a pistol splat, that was super awesome.

Also I should stop being so unprepared for everything, it's a good thing I fixes my PS before the war or I would've had to use a 4B (bleh).



#272365 April 2010 Minnesota Nerf Outing

Posted by MercenaryXero on 15 April 2010 - 10:51 PM in Nerf Wars

I demand PVC wyes

Also check valves

Pretty much I'll buy all your weird pipes.

And while I'm at it, its worth mentioning that new SNAPS are under construction, and at least one will be ready for the war. Not as absurd as I'd like, but they use a version of rork's new plunger head. I'll add cool stuff to them later.



#272734 April 2010 Minnesota Nerf Outing

Posted by MercenaryXero on 19 April 2010 - 09:57 PM in Nerf Wars

I'm fine with the location change, but Langford is a big step down in quality IMO.

Also I probably won't have new SNAPs, my dad took all the good tools to Canada, lol. But I did upgrade and fix some stuff, so I'm ready to go.



#272959 April 2010 Minnesota Nerf Outing

Posted by MercenaryXero on 21 April 2010 - 10:47 PM in Nerf Wars

Also, if you guys have any shells that I could possibly shoehorn a SNAP into, I'm in the market.

Especially longstrikes. I would really like to get my hands on one, and am too lazy to find it in stores.



#199571 New Replica

Posted by MercenaryXero on 29 December 2008 - 02:15 PM in Modifications

I have a turret-less mav I think I might do this to. If it happens, I'll post it here.



#200219 New Replica

Posted by MercenaryXero on 01 January 2009 - 02:03 PM in Modifications

Once I get my hands on a 2k, this is as good as made. (Or at least attempted)



#199488 New Replica

Posted by MercenaryXero on 29 December 2008 - 02:39 AM in Modifications

Shit, I'm playing fallout right now on my other monitor. If you want accuracy, use a mav and remove the rounded bits, then add walls to the front. But for performance, I'd use a disk shot with cosmetic mods.

Also its the 10mm nor the 9mm.



#186989 Nerf Tactical Rail

Posted by MercenaryXero on 02 November 2008 - 12:15 PM in Homemades

Or, you know, you could just take three plastic strips, and have one less wide one in the middle. (looking somewhat like the letter I)

It wouldn't lock, but it would work.



#176687 Clothes

Posted by MercenaryXero on 11 September 2008 - 07:05 PM in Off Topic

As for the clothes, mostly assorted sweatshirts, but for shoes, Puma all the way.



#197383 Twilight Review.

Posted by MercenaryXero on 20 December 2008 - 01:15 AM in Off Topic

A large section of posters here just got my respect. Bionicle was the shit, up until '06. Those fucking inika with their light up swords and gay ass masks kinda made me lose interest. I'm still around in the community to be awesome though. Echnalaid gets bonus points for being a BZP member. (Although he joined in november lol)

Anyway regarding sparkling vampires, uh, lol fagets

also fuck you silentsnipe
