#170078 Modification and Paintjob Pictures

Posted by serpent sniper on 17 August 2008 - 07:05 PM in Modifications

I just finished my first commissioned piece. He wanted a worn, rusted look. Personally, I think it's a little plain, but the customer is always right.

#185695 Modification and Paintjob Pictures

Posted by serpent sniper on 26 October 2008 - 06:17 PM in Modifications

I just had my fall break, so I finally had a chance to work on some more guns.

The first two are for a zombie-themed party. I did these for a friend who is going as a zombie hunter.

The wrist strap coming out of the sawed off's handle doubles as the cocking mechanism. If anyone is not familiar with the innards of a double shot, the stock contains a pulley system that cocks the gun when you open it. This had to be scrapped so that I could saw the stock off. The wrist strap is made of paracord, which also covers the grip. It's good and durable for the force thats put on it while cocking, and I thought that it gave it a paramilitary feel that goes well with zombie outbreak weapons.

This next gun was done for another friend's birthday. He wanted me to do something related to politics, and he is the most ardent supporter of the democratic party that I know.

#170951 Modification and Paintjob Pictures

Posted by serpent sniper on 20 August 2008 - 02:37 PM in Modifications

This is my second commissioned piece, which was done for a friend of mine. He wanted black and red, which presented me with a challenge. The way I paint gives colors a lot of depth, which would look weird next to completely flat black. I tried to give the black some depth too, and am fairly pleased how it came out.

Next I have my quad B, which I call the trident. I did Slug's mod, except I used the reducer from a plusbow that I had lying around. Standard ranges with the CPVC barrel. The gun's namesake attachment has crayolas inside the pvc. Shoots 3 stock darts about 60' @ 15 pumps.

#200128 Xbox Live Recreational Community House ---

Posted by serpent sniper on 31 December 2008 - 11:09 PM in Off Topic

Tag: ErraticBullet

Games:

Gears 2 (when I feel like dealing with the appalling match-making system)
COD4
Halo 3 (seldom)
Forza 2 (very seldom, I love the game, I'm just not as good as other drivers)

offline games:
Fallout (amazing)
Castle Crashers (worth the price if you've got a few friends for co-op)


Really I don't play on live that much. My floor-mates are all very into system-link gears games, so that's where I get my fill of multiplayer.



#163646 +bow: Diy Thread

Posted by serpent sniper on 21 July 2008 - 11:52 PM in Homemades

Thanks Slug.

Now that I know the pvc cement will work, there's no reason not to just bore out the sch 40 pvc. Keep it simple.



#163641 +bow: Diy Thread

Posted by serpent sniper on 21 July 2008 - 10:54 PM in Homemades

I debated about putting this here, but it is +bow related.
I've been experimenting with my +bow and I've figured out that cpvc will be my best choice for barrels.

I'm trying to think of a way to create an adapter to go from the 1/2 inch pvc couper to a 1/2 inch cpvc coupler. What type of glue will bond pvc and cpvc? I assumed that pvc cement would, but then I saw cpvc cement and am worried that it won't work.

I'm also unsure of how to construct an adapter. I have some ideas, but I can't think of a way that allows the dart to be as close to the plunger as it is in a pvc barrel.

Thanks in advance for help.

How about some Gundam avatars? Any series is cool. Although, 08th MS Team was one of the better ones... ^_^



#165281 The Vulcan: Internals And Mods! New Mods Pg.9!

Posted by serpent sniper on 29 July 2008 - 09:35 PM in Modifications

Try switching out the Tamiya wire connectors with "Deans Ultras". People use them in airsoft, and they work GREAT for me!

I love the vulcan! Airsoft batteries FTW!

Seems like you're familiar with airsoft. Here's what I've been wondering. People have been buying custom MOSFETs for 3 rd burst and stuff. I've been wondering the whole time, anyone think that MOSFET could replace the stock electronics to give it auto and burst settings?

Select fire capabilities combined with the use of airsoft battery packs may get me to buy one of these. Though electrical work beyond soldering is a little beyond me.

Does the 50 round chain fit into the ammo box?



#11695 Holy Crap! Stefan's Back!

Posted by serpent sniper on 22 October 2003 - 03:41 PM in General Nerf

All I can say is that this is a wonderfully pleasant surprise...It almost makes up for the fact that the dude on ebay hasen't sent my package (akimbo mad hornets) yet... ^_^



#11890 Holy Crap! Stefan's Back!

Canadians are cool, they say "eh"

So do Wisconsinites! :wacko: ...'cept for me...



#17829 2004 Nerf Lineup

Posted by serpent sniper on 01 February 2004 - 10:53 AM in General Nerf

The max shot was the re-release of the x-bow, metaphoically speaking. That or the uruk hai dealy...

On the subject of a spring rifle, you never know... Hasbro's pretty sneaky. I mean the ttg, just came out of nowhere. It looked nothing like the concept art (which was a nite finder, if anyone else remembers the pics). But personally, I don't care if we get one, I want that dvd-set.

Talio or Hersh- Do you know how the hornet and bazooka dock? Over and under or one sticks onto the side of the other or something?



#17932 2004 Nerf Lineup

Posted by serpent sniper on 02 February 2004 - 04:08 PM in General Nerf

Isn't Lanard's headquarters in Hong Kong or something? I'm thinking no one has...



#186317 Lancer: A Product Of Kappa Sigma Armory

Posted by serpent sniper on 29 October 2008 - 07:22 PM in Modifications

This is really a hell of a job.

I especially like the bits around the magazine, and the work you've done on the stock area. She looks spot on. The logo is also pretty kick ass. I like the fact that it isn't another copy of Forsaken's. You've made your own unique monster.

This makes me want to get to work on my own lancer. I've been intending on making one, just never got around to it. I don't think I have the bondo skills to come near what you've done here.



#12750 Matrix Revolutions

Posted by serpent sniper on 12 November 2003 - 04:20 PM in Off Topic

Did you really give a shit about the dude in the mech suit screaming and yelling tough guy shit?

That was the worst part of the movie...since it was half of it... :P



#12685 Matrix Revolutions

Posted by serpent sniper on 10 November 2003 - 07:19 PM in Off Topic

Don't you get the point of a "trilogy"? There can't be a fourth movie. And so, in turn, the third Matrix movie... Revolutions... Sucked.

Don't you get the point of Hollywood? Bam! Fourth movie! Then its just a quadrilogy or whatever... They set out to make a trilogy, that doesn't neccisarily mean they won't make another, besides thats just hundreds of more millions of dollars for them. Hell, I'll even go out on a limb and say it's likely that they do make a fourth.



#12873 Matrix Revolutions

Posted by serpent sniper on 14 November 2003 - 07:01 PM in Off Topic

Hehe good one Zero...


Anyways, to start a "lighter" conversation, so to speak... Does anyone have the same problem with the matrix movies as I do? The problem being shooting hudreds of bullets out of guns with 30 round(or so)mags and never reloading... Ironicaly this was most obvious in "Reloaded"...

Janga; I agree, I really don't think Neo died...especially after the comment by the oracle...

The one thing that I don't understand is why the matrix still existed after the war ended... I mean, that was obviously the matrix in the "sunrise scene" with the oracle and architect...

Theres still so much that I don't understand...
-neo's real world powers
-how smith got the one guy's body
-why neo just didn't kill smith "1st movie style" with the jumping inside him trick...
-what the heck happened to the oracle...

*sigh* I need to watch the first two over again and buy Enter the Matrix...

I really think they should make a fourth movie. They said that the first one was about birth, second about life, and revolutions about death. They should make a fourth about the afterlife or something...

On a side note, did anyone else thing that the trainman was freaky?... its like they got a hobo and said they'd give him a ham sandwich if he'd be in a movie...
Also, Seraph is teh r0x0rz.

Posted by serpent sniper on 09 August 2003 - 08:53 PM in General Nerf

By the way, no one is knocking this kid on his obvious language limitation; we all seem to get the point. Right on.

Everyone knows that if they do that we'll all pounce on them and call them a racist nazi pig-fucker. Thats just the way things work :lol:




...pig-fuckers.



#168668 New Music...

Posted by serpent sniper on 13 August 2008 - 03:56 AM in Off Topic

Chanclas, I have a similar taste in rap. Not a bad list. I would add the following though:
Mobb Deep
Big Pun
Geto Boys
NWA
Canibus

I'm not big into rap, but I like some gangsta rap. Here's where everyone in this thread glares at me. Metal blows.

I dunno, I just don't like metal. Ironically, there are so many parallels between metal, and my favorite overall genre; punk. Both styles of music progressed in similar ways, and have subgenres that represent similar changes. They've even fused a bunch of times, mostly making crap, but on occasion something great. But enough about that, this isn't really the place for long musical rants.

I really appreciate simplicity in music. I think what makes modern music unappealing to some is that there is too much going on. Vocals have gone from yelling, to growling cookie monster guttural noises. Some genres even have computer generated vox now (like goregrind...don't even get me started on that shit). Guitars are now all down-tuned. I dunno. I guess my main qualm with music, or alternative/metal/punk music these days is that its trying to be heavier or more hardcore.

In my opinion, modern music slaps titles upon itself that don't really apply. Hardcore used to be fast, hard, and above all simple. Now it's this drop-d, double bass pedal, growling shit. I'm kind of ranting. Fuck, I dunno, it's 4 am, this probably lacks some coherency.

#219882 Pointblank Titan

I accually just made that one up to be perfectly honest.

We can tell.


ON TOPIC:

PointBlank, what means did you use to connect the pump to the tubing? I'd like to replace the pump on my titan and am worried about making an airtight seal.



#219920 Pointblank Titan

If it's not a hassle, pics would be much appreciated.

Nice work though. I'm excited to see the paint.



#15207 Get Anything Good For Xmas

Posted by serpent sniper on 28 December 2003 - 09:28 PM in Off Topic

Raggy- Cool. I got the same hoodie...yeah.

C- You spoiled your kid, but it was with legos, so that makes it okay.

People talking about guitars- Yay. I got $225 in total this christmas, so I'm going to go get one of these(black though) and a cheap amp.



#15336 Get Anything Good For Xmas

Posted by serpent sniper on 31 December 2003 - 05:14 PM in Off Topic

Wask- I'm sure thats at least as expensive or more than what I got. I like my wannabe-gibson err...Epiphone. 'Twas on sale for 149.99...plus the amp but whatever. That and the fact that I think the Les...bian Paul is ugly...well goofy at best. Meh, its not that bad, but still...
Janga- wannabe goth? Pfft. It says "GOTH" in big, black, bold, goth-y letters right on the box. ;)



#164045 Places That You Wish You Could Nerf

if we're gonna get fictional...


You know what. I want to play in those stupid arenas from the Nerf Arena Blast Game. That would be fucking awesome.


If the colors were a little subdued, it would be awesome. Otherwise I'd rather not play in a maze of headache-inducing acid trip colored walls and floors.

Fuck that, I'm not registering for a new forum just to post a pic.

Then why bother making it in the first place? I told everyone that the contest is at Gravity Nerf... You know what? Lets just start one here or at NHQ, okay?
