#208859 Snort-hog

Posted by serpent sniper on 02 February 2009 - 01:44 AM in Modifications

Very cool dude.

I really like your paintjobs because they combine excellent detailing while still remaining within a "nerf -y" color pallet. I think that you've found a good medium where you have guns that a person can take seriously, while still looking like nerf guns.

Props to you sir.



#168575 Sm500 Questions

Posted by serpent sniper on 12 August 2008 - 09:21 PM in Off Topic

The Sm500 is a great gun. Having owned 2, I can say that they were some of the best air pistols. They got 2k performance, and were more comfortable to hold.

Modding them is easy. One thing to be sure of is NOT to plug the pump. I guess the valve is prone to being blown. It was the consensus on the NIC that the pump was not to be plugged. It gets the range of a singled, pump plugged 2k without plugging anyways.



#1541 Sm 500

Posted by serpent sniper on 18 February 2003 - 06:27 PM in Modifications

Mystic, good to have you back. Thanks for the help, but are you sure that the pvc fits in the barrel? oh and theres this thing that like held the air restrictor or something sould I cut that off? I've already cut the barrel preety much. If you wanta pic I can get one by tonite.



#1611 Sm 500

Posted by serpent sniper on 19 February 2003 - 04:42 PM in Modifications

I've already plugged the pump. Your guns seem to be a little different than mine. I have the small soldiers one. I've just been waiting to cut the barrel 'til I knew what to do. Thanks guys.



#1881 Sm 500

Posted by serpent sniper on 28 February 2003 - 04:21 PM in Modifications

#1812 Sm 500

Posted by serpent sniper on 25 February 2003 - 09:15 PM in Modifications

well there a two, the green one with a stock is a 5000 and the red pistol is the 500. And mystic, I'll get you that pic asap, so like later tonite.



#1889 Sm 500

Posted by serpent sniper on 28 February 2003 - 08:21 PM in Modifications

I just wanted to know if everything was okay before I go hacking away at the rest of the barrel.



#1885 Sm 500

Posted by serpent sniper on 28 February 2003 - 05:53 PM in Modifications

okay I had the wrong adress, I sent it to you.



#906 Sm 500

Posted by serpent sniper on 26 January 2003 - 11:13 AM in Modifications

Does anyone know any mods for it. I'd like it to use megas, as most of my arsenal does. I'd just make one on my own but I don't want to ruin it. Well thanks in advance.

#12080 Sd Fires

Posted by serpent sniper on 28 October 2003 - 09:51 PM in Off Topic

Grinch -I'm sorry, but I laughed about the mile thing... Thats soo dumb.

Anywho, its times like these when I value living in Wisconsin... nothing ever happens here... I'm serious the top story on the news is always the packers or some other trivial thing... I feel sorry for you Californians...with all the fires and landslides and earthquakes...and Ahhhnold.



#164675 Rit Dye?

Posted by serpent sniper on 26 July 2008 - 06:09 PM in General Nerf

Just get some vinyl dye.

Rit dye is really more for fabrics, and even then is known to fade pretty easily.



#8621 RF20 Modding Discussion

Posted by serpent sniper on 22 August 2003 - 03:56 PM in Modifications

(optional) Step 9: find some rubber o-rings that are the same size as the pegs and put them in place. I'm not sure if that helps, but I remember that alot of mods said that you should cut out the pegs and leave the little rings to seal the assembly with the barrels...



#16952 Realistic Dart Guns

Posted by serpent sniper on 23 January 2004 - 05:57 PM in General Nerf

Hey, they have that police force gun there. Good, now I don't have to find "A Dollar" or whatever...



#7020 Rad 4.0 Foam Firing Robot Thingy

Posted by serpent sniper on 14 July 2003 - 09:10 PM in General Nerf

My friend had one of those, a different version, maybe the first one. Anyway, yeah it was slow and loud and fragile, but it shot the darts pretty hard.



#165086 Poll: The Rapidfire 20

Posted by serpent sniper on 29 July 2008 - 02:32 AM in General Nerf

I like my RF20. I don't really think the vulcan would replace it. The RF20 seems a bit more maneuverable and IMO easier to reload. Plus it's killer integration material, like Slug's Bobs or Lemmypoo's Gustaff (you might not be aware of this one, SS2 integrated to the RF).



#219920 Pointblank Titan

Posted by serpent sniper on 26 March 2009 - 01:36 PM in Modifications

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

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



#219882 Pointblank Titan

Posted by serpent sniper on 25 March 2009 - 11:57 PM in Modifications

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.



#165501 Plusbow Integration Brackets

Posted by serpent sniper on 30 July 2008 - 06:08 PM in Homemades

Why does it look like all of the internals are a few inches further back than they should be? Or is it just not assembled?



#164045 Places That You Wish You Could Nerf

Posted by serpent sniper on 24 July 2008 - 01:27 AM in General 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.



#15402 Pirated Dvds

Posted by serpent sniper on 01 January 2004 - 12:15 PM in Off Topic

The one thing I dont understand though is how they get movies like the Matrix Revolutions and Return of the King before they even come out?

Uhh...they sit in the theater and tape it...

On Dateline or 20/20 or whatever, a few years ago, they had this thing about pirated videos, and some of the people did exactly what I said. It was funny, 'cause the tops of peoples' heads were showing... :lol:



#166000 Paint Technique Video

Posted by serpent sniper on 02 August 2008 - 12:59 PM in Modifications

You need all of the parts to decompress it. WinRAR will recombine them.



#165957 Paint Technique Video

I'm bringing my computer. Anyways, the ETA on the rapidshare links is about an hour and a half.

#165948 Paint Technique Video

Posted by serpent sniper on 01 August 2008 - 11:18 PM in Modifications

Well, as promised, I put together a video detailing some of the techniques I used on my two steampunk guns. I covered how to create the worn metal effect, and how to use inks. I'll have to make another video with the wood technique.


I'd like to know how you guys want to solve this. I worked fairly hard to finish this in a timely manner, and have put up with many distractions. (Most notably the F22 that was flying above my neighborhood all day. Those fuckers are loud!)



EDIT:

Well, you can disregard most of the posts. I have hosted the files on rapidshare. The links are further down the page. If for some reason you can't use rapid share, I can still email the video. I hope you enjoy the nice full screen video. I feel that the slight inconvenience of downloading it is worth not putting up with shitty youtube quality.

Comment away!



#165953 Paint Technique Video

Posted by serpent sniper on 01 August 2008 - 11:32 PM in Modifications

I looked into Rapidshare a bit more, and it is free. I'm currently uploading it. Looks like it will be 5 .rar's, so you guys will probably have to put up with download limits. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll post the links when everythings up.



#25486 Pac Man Rpg

Posted by serpent sniper on 03 May 2004 - 09:12 PM in Off Topic

Wouldn't it be a LARP as opposed to just RPG? *blushes* Sorry, my nerd is showing.



#244616 Oshkosh, By Gosh!

Posted by serpent sniper on 29 July 2009 - 08:03 PM in Off Topic

Yeah, actually this year doesn't seem as bad as years past in general. They've made improvements to the campgrounds, so I think less people are feeling a need to spend the day driving around town. Those dorms must suck though.

I forgot to say this before, but I can't imagine the flight you made. That's gotta be pretty draining.



#244434 Oshkosh, By Gosh!

Posted by serpent sniper on 28 July 2009 - 09:52 PM in Off Topic

Uh, I live here, does that count? This is the week that I don't leave my house unless I have to. It seems like half of the people at EAA drive or fly there only to head straight to Walmart and spend the whole week there.

Are they gonna have anything cool this year? They'd better live up to the F22. That was pretty badass to see flying over my house. The main attraction isn't seriously some lame ass Airbus, is it? 'Cause I don't feel like listening to that for a week.



#200447 Oh My God Mcdonalds.

Posted by serpent sniper on 02 January 2009 - 02:38 AM in Off Topic

This is a Failtopic. But just to make it less fail, I want to know if anyone knows if McDonalds at some point offered nerf guns as part of their happy meals.


No, but Sonic did have SSPB knock-offs maybe 5 years ago.



#29615 Nothing On The Topic...

Posted by serpent sniper on 26 June 2004 - 04:04 PM in Off Topic

The dude that turns into the cassette tape can really dance.


Now I wish transformers was on. ^_^
Or Beast Wars.


But not transformers armada, that show is ghey.



#20770 Not Nerf, But Cool...

Posted by serpent sniper on 05 March 2004 - 11:05 PM in Off Topic

They have that thing at backyardartillery.com.



#169087 Nite-mav

Posted by serpent sniper on 14 August 2008 - 01:13 PM in Modifications

Very clean, dude.

One question; The Maverick slide doesn't slam into the shell when you fire, does it? That's the only potential problem I see with this. I really like it though, seems simpler than the original nite-mav.



#9277 New Slogan For NH - Poll

Posted by serpent sniper on 05 September 2003 - 05:52 PM in Site Feedback

Nah, you're not a Kraut, just a Kaizer...also w00t for half-germans (myself being one).



#15609 New Nerf Gun

Posted by serpent sniper on 03 January 2004 - 06:49 PM in Modifications

Woah, thats cool. I'll have to get one... Sadly, my Walmart has none yet.



#15573 New Nerf Gun

serpent_sniper@gravitynerf.tk

You know the drill.



#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.



#15337 New Guns

Posted by serpent sniper on 31 December 2003 - 05:17 PM in General Nerf

Maybe its that blue thing I found...the jet squadron mini or whatever. ;)



#17831 Nerfcenter, I Need Help

Posted by serpent sniper on 01 February 2004 - 10:57 AM in Off Topic

Damn you Annndddyyyyyy! Okay, no, but I wish I knew what the deal is...



#163057 Nerf Weapons Rack

Posted by serpent sniper on 17 July 2008 - 12:32 AM in Homemades

Peg board, 4 screws, and 12 washers is what I used. Three washers between each corner of the peg board and the wall.

I also found a bunch of hooks that are used for power drills. These hold a pistol nicely. Combine 2 for a longer gun. This is what I use for my airsoft guns. I've slowly been rebuilding an arsenal, so I may build a rack on the opposite wall for nerf.
