My first war was for Falcon's birthday in 2003. I had my lock n' load and sharpshooter II.
First NIC war was Geddon 2005. I had a crayola'd Supermaxx 1500 and the old lnl.
Good times.

Never been to a Nerf War that's been organized within the NIC. What kind of blasters can I expect to see there?

Trying to get a feel for how prepared I would have to be, you know?

You should expect to see less homemades than in most war photos from other parts of the country.

Some people even bring stock blasters and darts. Doesn't stop them from having fun though.

I'm there

Its that time of year where we at S.C.U.N. hold our annual NIB/Stock/"Low-Tech on-the-spot Modding" Event. Once more we shall gather at our Southernmost Reliable Location in Corona to goof around with barely modded blasters and shoot each other with stock ammo and enjoy pizza for a fair amount of hours. Its fun for the whole family.

So, yes, this is a "Stock Event" similar to a N.I.B. war but not quite as strictly aimed at using a brand new blaster, as it is going back to a time where you couldn't "science" a nerf gun beyond "slap a crayola marker on it"

Like every Stock War We've done, there will be about a half hour of “Field Modding Time” using the most “basic” of nerf modding supplies:

Hand tools like Screwdrivers, small hacksaws, pliers, wire cutters, x-acto knives or boxcutters, leatherman tool, hand drills, etc.
Electrical Tape/Duct Tape etc
Most Adhesives (includes Epoxy Putty, Super Glue, Plumber's Goop)
There is an outlet and I'll bring an extension cord so you can use Hot Glue if you wish.
Rubber Bands/Mini bungee
Crayola Barrels or similar objects like those Jägermeister tubes as barrel material.
a 2k Pump tube is an acceptable way to mod something for Arrows.
Electronic mods to flywheel guns are allowed, this ranges from basic higher voltage batteries all the way to full motor replacement.

Some of these supplies/tools will be provided, but expect to provide yourself with most of what you need to mod on the spot.

NO PVC or other Pipe/Tubing WILL BE ALLOWED.

Naturally, there will still be some safety bans, IE no making titans shoot micros. Pistol splats and all variants are not allowed, because they perform on par with modded guns bone stock. But pretty much anything else is fair game. Bring as many or as few blasters as you'd like, by leaving the ammo stock, we should have a fairly level playing field whatever you bring. Also you're allowed to bring any blasters that are already modded to these specifications, be it because you did it for one of the previous stock wars, or felt like modding in advance.

We'll start this earlier than usual, so that modding time doesn't cut too much into our playing time, so try to show up by 9:30 AM

Also allowed are large ammo blasters including zing, mongo, missile, ball, arrow, and rocket. These blasters may be modded with materials outside the war restriction, but must be firing their intended ammo.

The Date is SET as FEBURARY 7TH

Location:
Horsethief Canyon Park
Shotgun Trail Rd.
Corona, CA 92883

The Park has Restrooms. Nearby there is a shopping center with a Pizza Hut, A Subway and a grocery store. We usually just make a group pizza order together and send a small detachment to pick things up. so bring cash for Pizza, or be ready to take care of getting other food for yourself.

I'm not missing this one

Considering it's right around the corner I'll be there, bad sweater-vest and all.

While I can't guarantee my attendance I will try to make it up there.

Right so since I can't get a hold of you on the phone, Falcon, I will tell you here.

It looks like Superfly can come and maybe Sputnik

Plus there's even the possibility of, Dare I Say It, Snake showing up

well just an update

Rules:
Pretty standard really. No banned blasters including: singled titans, pump replaced 4bs or signal launchers, all homemades excluding plusbows snapbows or hamps. Bring water, food money, darts, blasters, and other nerfing persons that need a ride from you.



that is all

I'm there

Since there is going to be rain, I would appreciate an attendance list of people who are still going to show. We (Baff group) will gladly still drive down and nerf with you guys in the rain, but if people are going to not show because of it being wet or the war gets cancelled we need to know by early tomorrow to cancel the hotel and change plans. Thanks!

we in socal don't post attendance lists 'cuz it's redundant.

Also almost every December socal war is in the rain, and we still get good attendance

Can we rename this war? I like the one we have now but this war is begging for some Double Dream Hands.

You asked for the original war name in the first place

I say No

Just to let you know, as head of SCUN, we here in the LA/Orange county area have had no reason to create any mobstacle type things given that all our typical war locations have ample natural or manmade cover. Given that fact, more than likely you will need to provide them yourself.

But as you said alternate places are still an option.

As for options of other places why not the lot to the south of Wooley rd. before south harbor? that seems to me to have at least some trees. or better yet Via marina park next to Christa McAuliffe elementry. plus marina west park looks good too. Parks are usually a good place to start.

And if you find a good date i would love to try and make this.

Due to me unexpectedly getting busy on my normally lazy weekends I will be unable to arrive at my own event. Baghead will also be busy tomorrow and the rest of the SCUN leadership is kind of in quasi-retirement, so I will be cancelling the war. Don't panic though. Chris Cartaya has a war tomorrow and this is its thread: http://nerfhaven.com...showtopic=25827

I know it says that it was last weekend, but on the facebook link he has on there it states that his war is in fact the 25th.

This event that he has planned is a little farther of a trip then most of us usually take, but he should have a good event going on and if you can make it you should have a good time.

Sorry for the short notice and I hope you can make it to his war.

See you at the next one.

Rules: Just like the last one, this war will have some very different rules than the usual. This is to continue to prepare the locals for the upcoming changes that are expected for this year's Armageddon.

Firstly, No glue domes. Any softer ammo type is fine, be it slugs, putty wraps, amiors, or others of the like. Follow ryan mcnumbers' guide on how to make if unsure.

Secondly, eye protection will be mandatory for all ages. This is because due to the softness and aerodynamics of the ammo types some higher velocity blasters are able to be used for this war.

Third, blaster restrictions are as follows:
-Titans and anything with a titan tank in it (unless you are firing stock rockets, Drac's rockets, or if you are firing darts out of seven or more barrels simultaneously)
-Homemade Airguns (includes anything with a pump/valve that isn't made by hasbro/lanard/buzzbee such as those drain cleaners)
-Guns with plugged pumps that were designed to shoot anything larger than a mega dart. (LBB/BBBB, Signal Launchers, UMBs etc.) -Relocated pumps must include a stock OPRV and must have comparable range and performance to the same blaster with a stock pump.
-Super Soakers

Any questions you can post here or pm me.

Hope to see you there.

Does anyone have any darts they'd be willing to lend/sell? I don't think I'll have any time to make a batch before Saturday.

There should be enough darts to go around.

Ahh dang it, can't make this one. But, so now on no more glue domes?

Not from now on but just to be ready for future events.

this mod is a very simple one which took me 10 mins to do. Provided that you have the same tools it shouldn't
take anyone too long to make.

First off you need:
a multi-purpose dremel
hot glue gun
6 in. 9/16 brass
5 in. 17/32 brass
2 small rings of 1/2 in. pvc

well to start off here is the insides of the gun:




the first thing that you should do is cut off some of the yellow piece to make room for the loading area as shown:





then you want to cut off the orange tip to get into the yellow barrel piece. After you get the barrel open take out the shell ring and spring, and take the 9/16 in. brass and put he pvc rings on it to be put into the place that the shell ring was as shown:



now take the 17/32 brass and cut a tray into it approx. 1.5 in long and smooth out the edges. cut out the rubber endcap on the loading shaft and dremel a little around the edges so that the brass can fit inside a little ways as shown:



make sure that the tray is facing up while the air hole is to the right like in this picture:



now after you glue that in and the glue cools all you have to do is put the gun back together. The gun can now be loaded from the top like so:





There you go

i have not tested the ranges but i can give a photo example. The gun could fire about half of this hallway before and now it can travel the distance without dropping.



before anyone jumps on me about copying others ideas i must put out that until after i made this mod i had never seen the angel breech.

questions comments or general feedback is welcome. Enjoy!

I'm there

Herro Folks, let's kick off the new year in style, with Stock Blasters and Field Modding:

R.E.S.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.

Radiant
Event
Shows
Off
Lasting
Unity
That
Invigorates
Our
Nerfing

So Yes, this is a "Stock Event" similar to a N.I.B. war but not quite as strictly aimed at using a brand new gun, as it is going back to a time where you couldn't "science" a nerf gun beyond "slap a crayola marker on it"

Like every Stock War, there will be about an Hour of “Field Modding Time” using classic “basic” nerf modding supplies:

Hand tools like Screwdrivers, small hacksaws, pliers, wire cutters, x-acto knives or boxcutters, leatherman tool, hand drills, etc.

Electrical Tape/Duct Tape etc

Most Adhesives (includes Epoxy Putty, Super Glue, Plumber's Goop)
There is an outlet and I'll bring an extension cord so you can use Hot Glue if you wish.

Rubber Bands/Mini bungee

And Crayola Barrels or similar objects like those Jägermeister tubes as barrel material.

a 2k Pump tube is an acceptable way to mod something for Arrows.

NO PVC or other Pipe/Tubing WILL BE ALLOWED.

^much of this will be provided, but I'd recommend you bring tools if you have them. (I did pick up some of this stuff though including a hacksaw, Tape and super glue)

Naturally, there will still be some safety bans, IE no making titans shoot micros. Pistol splats and all variants are not allowed, because they perform on par with modded guns bone stock. But pretty much anything else is fair game. Bring as many or as few blasters as you'd like, by leaving the ammo stock, we should have a fairly level playing field whatever you bring. Also you're allowed to bring any guns that are already modded to these specifications, be it because you did it for one of the previous stock wars, or felt like modding in advance.

We'll start this earlier than usual, so that modding time doesn't cut too much into our playing time, so try to show up by 9 AM

Date is Set for the 21st, Gonna be fun times.

Location:
Horsethief Canyon Park
Shotgun Trail Rd.
Corona, CA 92883

Our previous Stock Events established our current "SCUN Throwback Rules" so we'll keep them here, Dart/Vortex Disc blocking with any blaster is legal, large ammo like Arrows, Rockets, and balls count as "shield-breakers" and still count as a hit when "blocked" by a blaster.

If you have any of the new Vortex Guns: Make sure to bring them. I'd love to see us do a Vortex Only round this year.

Leave your melee stuff at home for this folks, we're doing this olde skool.

In terms of food, there is a couple options relatively nearby, A Pizza Hut (which we can call in an order and pick up in about 15 min), a Subway and A Vons Grocery Store. I'm planning on ordering pizza, so bring cashito to pitch in.

Questions?

I'd drive 7 hours to have a real nerf war with guns that don't shoot 150' if there was a decent turnout.

well then you are in luck.

we typically have 2-3 stock class wars throughout the year and summertime is when one usually winds up happening with the best turnout.

Where in California are you?

Let's not all go crazy.

 

These rules are how they are because we have had no reason to change them in the 4 - 5 years that the annual event has happened.

 

Yes soldering and rewiring would be an on site process and would require some dedication to get done.

 

For the most part we have had a huge minority in the flywheel blaster department, but we don't want to exclude those who prefer to use them in a stock or semi-stock environment.

 

I don't want this thread to get derailed into a discussion on what would or would not make sense fora war like this so if you have any further concerns about blasters or anything else please feel free to pm me.

Thanks.

NOTE: If you want to make sure you have maximum recovery of your own stock ammo do something to CLEARLY IDENTIFY IT AS YOURS  I.E. Baghead uses neon pink marking stickers on his Vortex Discs and neon Pink sharpie dots on his Rival Balls.
