Seriously, it's like every frickin COD nutsack thinks Halo sucks. Like Horus said, if you haven't tried it, don't bash it like a squirrel bashes an acorn in the ground. If you played a prior game in the series but didn't like it, try another in the series, even if you just rent it. If you didn't like it because you got your arse kicked, go get laid or something and try again. Or do what I do where if I don't get at least 2nd I use my anger to pwn. It works, even though now I really don't have to try except against generals.

WOAH WOAH WOAH!!

I love halo, I love the whole series, APART from ODST. And my real anger sits with TLAD.

Jesus, I thought we were all civil and were allowed to voice our opinions.

Yeah, that's a little over the top in response to someone just saying "Halo sucks".

Just curious BritNerfMogul, what didn't you like about ODST?

Just the feel of the game. I couldn't get into it, and I hate that when games cost $80. It's gotta be worth the money, or I'm not buying it.

Everyone get Halo 3 ODST. Now.

Halo sucks.

ODST even more so.
Just finished The lost and the damned. Really disappointed I paid for that piece of crap...
Cod4 tonight (GMT) anyone?

Name: The BRIT Bow
Mods Done: Mostly shell as you can see. Everything is epoxied, and the shell back on form. just waiting for it's +bow style internals, and some re-inforcement.
Integrations: 2k, with the slide connected to a shortened 2k pump (when some one sells me one!)
Comments: This has been an absolute bitch to get to this stage, so I hope this works...

Epoxy has cured, so I thought I'd show you guys a pic of the whole thing...

Not quite there, but nearly...

YOU WILL LOSE THE USE OF YOUR SPINE.

Happy thoughts. That's what we good Ole' nerfers run on.

I'm sorry, but anyone who goes to A NERF FORUM, instead of seeking medical attention, deserves to lose the use of their spine. That, and it's supposed to be sarcasm.

Typically, 15 year olds (such as myself) do not experience back pain. I have had extreme problem with my back for almost a year now, and am wondering if it could be from hunching over my work table for about 10-15 hours each week. Does anyone else in the community experience this same kind of pain, or pain from the neck? I am just trying to find if this pain is nerf related. Sorry if this sounds stupid, but it was meant with all serious-ness.

I have to say, the 'haven is usually the last place I go to for medical advice, but since we're here.....

YOU WILL LOSE THE USE OF YOUR SPINE.

Go and see a doctor Ice. And when he tells you that you need to raise your work space, and get more exercise, you will go and do it. Won't you?

Chances are it isn't permanent, and you'l be fine.

Jerm, there is clearly something wrong with you.....

Good work. Very clean.

Which blaster were you planning on modding?

I was intending to try this on the Raider

TO: Brit
So the gun can no longer accept the magazine?

Sort off. It can if they have been modded for stefans, you can just twist the barrel round.

On a semi-related note, it's true then that you can make a brass'd LS that accepts darts the length of stock darts?

Yep.
The only problem I had was reloading. When the breech locked back, it used to drag the streamline backwards, making it jam. Hence the reason mine is upside down.

Alright, thank you all, streamlines; out of the question.

Bollocks.

I have one. that works.

The only down side is the breech is upside down. But it does fire streamlines, and with a stock spring, recon spring, and stock plunger head, I'd guesstimate 70ft-ish....

The only problem I forsee is the boltsled breaking free from the sled due to how much you cut away. Apart from that, it's an inventive mod.

Also, Jason, I believe there is an age limit to this forum.

No, I kinda like what Soothsayer said. I think he's on to something here.

Yeah, way to improve the site...... Make sure no-one ever posts. Shear brilliance. Why didn't I think of that before?

Look, yes, shit gets posted in Off Topic. But it just needs direction. That's all.

Not the admins saying nothing can be posted. Ever.

Nothing. No one is allowed to post anything. Ever.

http://nerfhaven.com...?act=boardrules

Grow up ass hat.

If you are unsure about the subject matter, PM an admin member. They can point you in the right direction.

And so the work begins......



*evil laugh*

I like the original short, 'Alive in joberg'

It's the original short film that the director made. It's really good. So I have high hopes for the film.

I did mine with spare brass:

HQ can also be your friend.......

I'm open to suggestions, but would rather return it to something like normal.

EDIT: Thanks to Bob in the chat, I found my answer. Sort Of. A better quality version would be appreciated.

@ Sooth - Shall we just duct tape it to your head and call it a day then?

@ Nerfitynerf - Also, yes, that's how it came. I just cleaned up the edges so I could add the new foregrip.

Hey guys.

As most of you know, I am now the proud owner of the 'Fucked Bow'


Now the reason I have made this thread is to ask for help. I need a 1:1 scale picture of the front grip from a stock crossbow. I plan on making a wooden version to fill this gaping hole:

So if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks Gents!!

Any reason why iTunes won't let me alter the info on the podcasts?

The first time you run with it, the ammo will fall out of the upside down clip.

I'll stick to my superclip thank you.

Some of my stuff I've been working on (besides from work and my house):


Failed ArrowFinder

Speedloading Hornet - with brass

WIP Big British Bow

Union Jack

My apologies angel.

Not for anything in your post, but for not doing as you asked in this last podcast.

I will say 'chocolate dough nut' on the podcast. Promise

Try the guy who was selling the leather mav and nf holsters.

I'm sure his sales thread says he'll do custom jobs, if you send him the blasters.

Hope that helps.

First 15 minutes of The Rock, Nicholas cage and his work colleague are playing in the office. His friend has a sercet shot.

Fair Point Sooth.

But as the owner of a classic car, I know a bit about appreciation (Moneywise)

Age + rarity + performance DOESN'T = Skyhigh prices.

I have a car that's 23 years old, only one of 200 left in the world, and can eat one of the most modern porsches for breakfast. Yet It's nowhere near the same price. This can be found in all sorts of places.

I feel the crossbow is the same. Look at the +bow. My apologies to who ever made it, as I have forgotten your name, but said nerfer has made one for $30. If it works, it's a bargain. And a +bow stand on the same principles. Simplicity.

I agree, nothing I really say can change anything, but maybe if everyone just thinks about it. Everyone. Then maybe, just maybe...

Brit,

If you're just trying to understand it is supply and demand. Crossbows are rare. They haven't been made for over 15 years. They used to only cost around 60 bucks, but that was when there were 3000 members on the site. Now that there are 30,000, the price is going to go sky high because more people want them. As I said before, high demand, low supply.

Talio.

Finally, a straight answer.

As we have discussed before Talio. I understand, but I feel it should be as high as it is. Seeing as there are several alternatives available, surely the crossbow should be in decline....
No?

Supply and demand, it's not your place to tell people how much to sell things for, and if I wanna sell a stock nitefinder that I painted for $30, that's what I'm gonna do, and no one can do ANYTHING other than not bid on it.

Translation: we're less of a community of nerfers and more of a bunch of selfish people trying to extort money and make sadly marginal profits. Aren't we awesome

Absolutly. We're supposed to be a community, not here to screw each other over. As soon as the first person said 'I bet a crosbow will make you a better nerfer' he should have been killed, and the sentance forgotton.
I stand by my post, and think we should start working together. LIKE A COMMUNITY.

It's the same principals that go into buying an antique car, alright?

Sure, I can get a much more efficient and cheaper vehicle than a 67 Mustang, but the fact is I want one, and I'm willing to pay the price to get one.

You can't turn back time, and frankly no one and nothing is going to do so. Sure, expense is something that sucks in this hobby, but that's any hobby, so grow up, pay the price you'll have to, or just shut up and don't buy, and frankly, if you get a majority of this site to join your little "petition" against over priced blasters, any of us can still find plenty of willing individuals to pay the price we're asking.

Firstly, calm down big 'un.

Secondly, this isn't a petition, more of a 'me trying to understand the situation' thread. That and trying to offer some advice. If you don't like it, you don't have to post so much and try to belittle me.

Also, are you really trying to compare the sale of a classic car to the sale of a childs toy? Comtext is key. A classic car is worth so much money because a wider audience is involved. The market for classic nerf guns isn't that big, I'm pretty sure of that.

That's like saying one of my kidneys is worth more than your kidneys because my blood type is rarer.... except that kind of thing is illegal.

Hell, cars used to be sold for $150 so lets just sell new cars for that same price. Its madness I tell you!
It's called inflation. Figure it out.

Do you have any idea how the market works? This really isn't inflation, it's greed and manipulation of stupid people.

Supply and demand, it's not your place to tell people how much to sell things for, and if I wanna sell a stock nitefinder that I painted for $30, that's what I'm gonna do, and no one can do ANYTHING other than not bid on it.

Right, lets cut to the chase here:

Crossbows = over priced and over worshipped

Am I the only one who thinks that Crossbows are place on a pedestal that shouldn't exist in the realms of Nerf?
I'm interested in purchasing one, not to become a good nerfer (I don't need a Xbow for that), but to paint and keep in my collection as a good looking blaster. The same reason I have a recon. It sucks bog, but looks fantastic. So why should I have to hand over an arm and a leg for a piece (Sorry, several pieces and a spring) of plastic? And sometimes, why are the prices of JUST THE SHELL the same as the full blaster? It's madness.
There are several other blasters that are capable of the ranges of a xbow, yet these are nowhere near the same price as a xbow. The logical just doesn't compute. If this were to be applied, all AT3K's should be the same. There should be no reason for the high price tag. And if someone mentions rarity, I kindly point them to the trading section and ebay, where several stock and modified xbow have suddenly become available.

By all means, charge $150+ when you've done all the work, but not stock.

So NIC, I ask you as one, to make the crossbow what it should be. Just another blaster to have in the arsenal. Not some status symbol that fails when you do. It's a toy. Let us make the right step, and consider the selling price of a crossbow. Because really, all they are to people are another blaster...

Links failed.

Not looking good....

Alright let me try uploading this to youtube.

Sorry, that sounded rude anyway.

I'm just still unconvinced that it can get those ranges. Physics should be kicking in by now....
