#329380 Dart-related Nerf war accidents and dart safety tests

Posted by cheyner on 05 May 2013 - 01:34 PM in Darts and Barrels

At one of the Vengeance's (4, I think) I took a shot to my eye glasses from about 30 feet away. The result was my glasses frame actually breaking and pushing the lens flatly into my eye with quite some force. It basically felt like I got punched in the eye, my vision out of that eye was fuzzy for about 10 minutes. The dart was most likely a 1/4" slingshot dome (Canada) fired by a brass breached 4B.

Here you can see where I got hit, the hit also bent the frame and stripped the screw holding the frame together on that side. This is why I always make sure to have a pair of safety glasses on over top of my eye glasses when I Nerf.



#265874 You May Not Want To Re-barrell Your 4b Just Yet...

Posted by cheyner on 18 February 2010 - 01:31 PM in Modifications

This is cool but how does the blaster that come with it work. Just to confirm.


I've seen these before, and if I'm not mistaken the handle is hollow foam, and you squeeze your hand to shot it.


My bad, skimmed the confirm part.



#265827 You May Not Want To Re-barrell Your 4b Just Yet...

Posted by cheyner on 18 February 2010 - 12:12 AM in Modifications

..and it comes with some sort of little gun thing which looks like it might make a nice handle.


I've seen these before, and if I'm not mistaken the handle is hollow foam, and you squeeze your hand to shot it. It was $5 where I saw it, so needless to say I did not buy one to confirm my theory on the firing.



#292383 Massacre 5

Posted by cheyner on 07 January 2011 - 01:40 PM in Nerf Wars

Great, now you are answering my stupid questions before I can even ask them.



#289910 Underground

Posted by cheyner on 03 December 2010 - 04:46 PM in Nerf Wars

For your sake I hope nothing happens in those 70 year old tunnels.



#317258 Nining a Recon

Posted by cheyner on 20 June 2012 - 06:15 PM in Modifications

From experience Nine, you are going to have an easier time finding them at Rona or Canadian Tire, Lowe's and Home Depot are useless, at least in Ontario they are. Rona is where I have gotten all of my rubber washers in the past.



#294886 Serious Arrowstorm Improvements

Posted by cheyner on 22 February 2011 - 12:00 AM in Modifications

This mod is definintly going on my to-do list.
Are you going to replace the spring or anything along those lines?



#294088 Rearloading Firefly

Posted by cheyner on 07 February 2011 - 05:59 PM in Modifications

That is awesome BuffDaddy, I might have to rip into my other one now when I get some time.
Keep up the fantastic work.
This would be pretty decent for Scano's as well, or any other war centred around portables.



#322371 Eraser Dart heads

Posted by cheyner on 08 October 2012 - 08:11 PM in Darts and Barrels

I like these MiG, I might have to try them out myself sometime.
Will you be using these at all at Hell?



#318452 Button slugs

Posted by cheyner on 13 July 2012 - 09:19 PM in Darts and Barrels

By that you mean 180 degree weather right?
I've never had that happen.


Then you have never nerfed on a hot sunny day. Even in Canada hot glue domes will melt and stick to the ground and any crap they come in contact with, I have experienced this on several occasions.


As for rubber buttons, they use them for Rugby shirts, so they are out there, just don't know how easy they would be to find.



#282322 3-way Valve Barrel Adapter

Posted by cheyner on 06 August 2010 - 01:33 PM in Modifications

I found something else that will work, it is a shower diverter.
Posted ImagePosted Image
They are both $9 however.

An insanly simple idea just hit me while searching those photo's, I should have something shortly.



#281535 3-way Valve Barrel Adapter

Posted by cheyner on 28 July 2010 - 09:01 PM in Modifications

What is this adapter actually used for? I tried looking at work, but realized I have no idea what section to look in. Is it for use with air lines?



#324196 Durability of Slug Darts

Posted by cheyner on 06 December 2012 - 10:18 PM in Darts and Barrels

Hot glue is not known for its adhesive qualities, Goop or Gloozit(Canadian made Goop) works much better.



#281545 3-way Valve Barrel Adapter

Posted by cheyner on 28 July 2010 - 11:04 PM in Modifications

You're making me feel less than helpful, bro!


Just showing the existance and usage of such a piece is more than enough help.
This seems like it should be used for many things, I just wanted to make sure it wasnt exclusive to one thing. It should be easy enough to find.
As soon as I can find the right fittings in my area, I should have a decent homemade version of this as well.



#282105 3-way Valve Barrel Adapter

Posted by cheyner on 04 August 2010 - 01:57 PM in Modifications

Posted Image
*cough* $1.98 *cough*


Son of a bitch!, thats the exact peice I have been trying to find! And in plastic none the less. I can only find those guys in brass around here.
They have a bit more deadspace in them, but it will still get the job done.



#283358 Predator Magnum, + 2k And Sspb

Posted by cheyner on 17 August 2010 - 04:21 PM in Modifications

Sweet jesus!, between this and your stopcock, I will not be rushing you anytime soon good sir.
Is the SSPB akward to use at all?
But yeah, how is the Magnum compared to the many variations of the Pistol Splat?



#289486 Barrel Tapping - A Cheap Shot?

Posted by cheyner on 30 November 2010 - 12:18 PM in General Nerf

Another thing I have noticed being a problem, if somebody walks up to you and ask's if you are in or out, dont try and tap them, it will end badly for you next time.



#288311 New Nerf Gun

Posted by cheyner on 12 November 2010 - 06:12 PM in News

I miss the days when you didnt need batteries to use your nerf blaster.

No new half usefull attachments?



#304529 Nerf Vortex Praxis Spring relocation

Posted by cheyner on 09 September 2011 - 11:23 PM in Modifications

I did this last night to both a Praxis and Vigilon, and I am quite impressed.
I suggest buying the refill packs with your blasters though, the disks can be hard to keep track of when they start ricocheting.



#323191 pSyk's "Auto-Loading" Rampage 3k + Vid

Posted by cheyner on 29 October 2012 - 04:19 PM in Modifications

You never cease to amaze pSyk.
I love the use of the lever trigger, I'm sure there is a very proud Kitty somewhere.



#297711 Octo-Shot

Posted by cheyner on 29 April 2011 - 10:33 PM in Modifications

This mod originated on Canadian Nerfers.

http://canadiannerfe...p?showtopic=582


Actually, if you would have even bothered to look at the date the video was posted on youtube, and then the date it was posted on Canadian Nerfers, you would understand why you are wrong.



I suggest starting this mod with a fresh LSG/Quad-Shot. I am now down a Octo-Shot and a LSG after a rage blackout.



#277462 Talos

Posted by cheyner on 11 June 2010 - 05:53 PM in Modifications

Is the stock plunger small/bad so you went with integrations galore? Nice job.


It didnt have a plunger setup. It was origianally a laser tag gun.


Then what is the plunger rod and barrel for? And why is there a rocket?



He was half right, It is a lazer tag gun, with an AIR TANK on the bottom to fire the rocket. That is a pump handle, not a plunger rod. It even says in the video that he replaced the stock air tank with a Titan air tank

Words cannot describe the work you did on that blaster Angel. I look forward to trying to dodge this on the 26th.



#280511 Another Homade Wye Guide

Posted by cheyner on 17 July 2010 - 04:12 PM in Homemades

Have you tested this yet? It seems like the dart would get snagged on the Tee, where it goes from the 45 to a 90 degree angle.



#280635 Another Homade Wye Guide

Posted by cheyner on 18 July 2010 - 09:28 PM in Homemades

Have you tested this yet? It seems like the dart would get snagged on the Tee, where it goes from the 45 to a 90 degree angle.


This wye work extremely well although I don't understand why people ask me this question when they probably have the materials to go and make one. ( Not flaming you cheyner it's just that most people have the materials to go and make one.)



Yes most people do have the materials to make a wye. I ask because you say nothing about making the the actual 90 degree angle of the tee into a 45 degree angle. You cut off the top coupler, then glued on another coupler cut at a 45 degree angle. That means there would be a lip that is on a 90 degree angle right at the end of the 45. So, are your darts bending even more to get around this? Or did you sand it out so there is no lip?



#289601 How To[mostly] Build An Svt4b

Posted by cheyner on 01 December 2010 - 11:33 AM in Modifications

That is great work. I really like your method of keeping the stock OPRV. I have been waiting for something like this to give me the boost I needed to finish my double 4B.
I also like how crazy easy it is to do a tank expansion with this method.



#293070 Hornet Tank Problems

Posted by cheyner on 18 January 2011 - 06:55 PM in Modifications

Hornets have them inside of them, they are easy enough to scrap out and attach tubing too. I think there is a way to make them using ball bearings and tubing as well, and I'm sure you can find some available for purchase if you look around online.

I'd have to take you at your word on that, but if there were check valves inside the tanks, then how is the blast button going to work? The check valve needs to be before the blast button and the tanks. Either way I'm going to do what was suggested which is basically branch the tubing off into two directions, each with their own check valve.

I was hoping someone could save me the hassle of finding out the hard way and send me a link to a check valve that will operate at the right pressure that fits on 3/16 ID-5/16 OD tubing. I don't know much about pressure systems and I just don't want to get the wrong thing, especially when I have to order it.



When Blue said Hornet, he meant the whole blaster, not the tanks. Common sence should have helped you with that one, obviously there is not check valves in the tanks themselves.



#328196 Magstrike Air Tank Mod Revisited

Posted by cheyner on 19 March 2013 - 10:51 AM in Modifications

Even just the switch to plywood would save you some weight, as somebody who delivers building material all day I can honestly say MDF is pretty much the heaviest practical thing you could have used.

I recently picked up a pneumatic caulking gun to nerf and now I know exactly how I will power it.

By compressor I assume you mean a full sized one? What about the small ones you plug into a car lighter?



#300307 Tyco RC Rapid Assault

Posted by cheyner on 21 June 2011 - 05:36 PM in Modifications

Fucking please; have you met automilkshake?


I'm still waiting for another ground breaking mod from him, he is my idol.



I love this mod MiG, this would be pretty effective at Massacre. But I think it would be better suited for Scano if you could mount the turret sideways. You would be able to drive up the middle of the portables and clear out one side. It's a Toronto school yard, so I'm fairly confident it wouldn't have any problems with the terrain, unless needles and used condoms stop it in it's tracks.



#327834 2013 New Releases Mod Contest

Posted by cheyner on 09 March 2013 - 02:56 PM in News

Excuse the stupid question, but for the factor of release dates, are there any regional considerations? For example, the Stockade has been released overseas pre-2013, but has yet to be officially released in the US.

Considering the number of modders across the Pacific in particular, I thought some clarification might be helpful.


Not just overseas, we have had them in Canada since at least Christmas.



#279271 Battle Max Markerball Sceptor V1.0

Posted by cheyner on 02 July 2010 - 02:59 PM in Modifications

Son of a bitch, I have passed these up the last 4 times I have been to this liquidation store, $20 CND!
Now I have to go make sure they still have some, amazing find TantumBull.

Fuck, they sold the last one half an hour before I got there.



#306541 Hell Before Halloween 5

Posted by cheyner on 26 October 2011 - 08:04 AM in Nerf Wars

At this point there is only really 7 or so recaps on Canadian Nerfers, so I will move mine over here as well.

First and foremost, I would like to thank Angel and K-10 for putting on an amazing war, you 2 never fail to deliver a good time. I HAD A FUCKING BLAST!

Super-fun!
-Going to HBH5, an obvious first pro.

-Seeing all the regulars again, miss you guys in those long periods of no nerf.

-Americans! All of you fucking rock, and you guys (and girl) need to make it up for more wars.

-Winning headhunters, I only actually shot one person, all the others where taps, but it was Butter's for the win, the best person to shoot if you only shoot one person.

-"Sword fight" with the hungry Colonel, at one point he wound up with my blaster, and I had to pull out my "dagger" (pistol) to save my ass. I really hope that made it onto somebody's video camera, it was funny as hell and I want to see what it looked like to everybody else.

-Butters climbing to the top of the playground and challenging all, next thing I hear "this is a REAL slide cam" only to turn around to see him sliding down the slide and yelling "WHEEEEE", I was on the ground literally laughing my ass off after that.

-Not getting shot once while defending in Tower Defense, I have found my sweet spot for that, and you can't have it, no it's not the bulldozers.

-Being late, but still on time.

-K9 cookout

-Shooting defenders through that cloth stuff in tower defense.

-Getting a Ultimator, motorized Ballzooka, and a Jolt from Buffdaddy.

-Getting a big ass bag of stock ammo from Angel, it pretty much doubled the amount of stock darts I have.

-No problems with the obstacles, and lots of offers to help set them up, makes me want to make more.

-Bookworm's Librarian worked great in it's first war, which is even better because mine broke.

-The LGLF proving that it is possible to make an awesome entrance in a station wagon.

-Taking out most of Angels team in 360 core, only to have the favor returned by him while I was stuck reloading.

-YooHoo

-After party, so much fun I cant even begin to describe it.

-Random food just coming out to us at the Sushi buffet place.

-Grizzly letting Bookworm and myself crash at his place.

-Going to a place know for its breakfast the next morning and getting a delicious hamburger.

-Stopping at the Big Apple on the way home, Caution, Rabbits are wild and may bite if handled, please do not touch. Best sign ever.


Not so super:

-XIII blowing up a stefan on my forehead in headhunters.

-DoomCheyner broke, in the same way it did at Massacre 5, and somehow managed to suck a dart into the plunger tube.

-Could not hit the right part of the core if my life depended on it, I even managed to score a point for the yellow team, while being right in front of my side.

-No shows, what the fuck people, 30 or so of you? That's just ridiculous.

-Speed bumps at the park apparently did not go well with my muffler strap, realized after stopping at the Big Apple that my muffler was only being held up by the exhaust pipe. Luckily I work at a lumber yard, so I was able to use a lumber bander to fix it.

I'm most likely forgetting stuff, there was just too much awesome to keep track of it all.



#304048 Hell Before Halloween 5

Posted by cheyner on 29 August 2011 - 08:24 PM in Nerf Wars

A fair bit of people showed interest in nerf at my wedding last weekend, as such, I should have 5-7 guests at this war.



#312446 Massacre 7

Posted by cheyner on 04 March 2012 - 09:29 PM in Nerf Wars

If you are asking how many blaster to bring yourself, bring as many as you want. I personally bring a large tote full of blasters to most wars, I like to change my blaster based on the game we are playing, and extras for when things break.



#323894 The HomeWrecker V1.0

Posted by cheyner on 24 November 2012 - 06:24 PM in Homemades

Nice Work MiG, I have been wondering if Brafasco sells springs or not, now I know. Convenient as I have one just up the road from me.


Interesting side note, its actually Curling.



#310731 Massacre 7

Posted by cheyner on 05 February 2012 - 10:33 AM in Nerf Wars

You should get something to go over them, I have had my glasses blown apart before, and have a round dent in the frame to remind me of it.
Also keep in mind that this is in a gym, and there will be outdoor primaries in play, expect to take at least one short range shot from a Big Blast.



#318193 Prototype WHIP-S2

Posted by cheyner on 08 July 2012 - 08:47 PM in Homemades

Is the other gun a wooden pumpbow? How thick are the side plates? What are the side plates made of? I would love to see a writeup of how to build a wooden pumpbow.


It looks like he used 1/4" MDF, in which case you would not want to get it wet at all. 3/8" plywood would probably work, but again you run into problems with moisture when using plywood. I'm sure the edges could be treated with something though to keep the layers from separating if they get too wet. You would have to get the plywood pretty soaked though before that would happen, MDF on the other hand will swell up pretty fast if it gets wet.



#327232 How has everyone been? who's still around?

Posted by cheyner on 23 February 2013 - 01:43 PM in Off Topic

Pearson MIGHT host V7 later this april. The native site is back online but destroyed by tasmanian and kazachstani spammers/scammers. I can't remember where I found it, but the site's name is changed to its IP address and the "Canadian nerfing modified" banner is completely gone. The scene in Canada will live on. Come on man, get on it and host K.I.N.G II. We are proud Canadians, and we will keep the nerf scene up if we have to hold it up manually.


Good to hear about Pearson, however what you are referring to as the native site was actually closed 2 years ago but never deleted by Forumer, when they got taken over by this new site they reopened it for whatever reason, stripped mods of any power, and basically turned it into a giant heap of garbage, I have been actively trying to get it deleted since this change came about. And I will be posting a thread for a war once I get a better idea when the snow will be gone.



#327241 How has everyone been? who's still around?

Posted by cheyner on 23 February 2013 - 06:24 PM in Off Topic

I was actually referring to the Yuku site, I was not aware the .ca version had been moved. I have found it and will see what I can do to clean it up if I am still an Admin on it. It got to the point on the .ca site I had closed automatic registration.



#327220 How has everyone been? who's still around?

Posted by cheyner on 23 February 2013 - 01:03 AM in Off Topic

FA_24 is pretty much retired, Hell before Halloween was the last war he will host, unless something spectacular happens in the GTA. The scene in Canada is pretty much dead, out native site went down late last year and nobody really cares enough to do anything about it, going several weeks without a new post will do that though.



#312959 Blaster census information required!

Posted by cheyner on 16 March 2012 - 06:11 PM in General Nerf

I will have to wait to see the final price, but as long a shipping isn't too crazy to Canada I will buy some.

What about Ultimators or XXL Bazookas? My Ultimator missiles are pretty beat up, if these work on them I will buy even more.
