lolwut?

You are last person I expected to be putting lasers and sights on a nerf gun.
It's cool though. Did the dart go through both sides of the alien's head?

You really need to work on your aim.



#193795 Winter Ohio War

Posted by bobafan on 03 December 2008 - 05:42 PM in Nerf Wars

Maybe it is because you acted like an ass. Like spawn camping following people until they clear and then shooting them and shooting me from feet away with your at2k.

That isn't how to make friends.



#193742 Winter Ohio War

Posted by bobafan on 03 December 2008 - 02:23 PM in Nerf Wars

As I was going to class monday, I had a head on collision with another bicyclist. So my attendance at the moment depends on whether or not my wrist is broken.

Lynx, NH doesn't have the same kind of bandwidth limit as NHQ.



#193621 Tracer Darts

Posted by bobafan on 02 December 2008 - 10:31 PM in General Nerf

Don't play around with fire. Seriously.

If you want darts to be visible at night, either get a firefly or rig up a system that does a similar thing.

It's spam.
If you see it, just report it to an admin and it will be deleted.



#192422 Black Friday Nerf Deals

Posted by bobafan on 28 November 2008 - 02:40 AM in Off Topic

I'd buy it and immediatly walk across the street to a media reseller. Get like 30 for the game. I'd do it.

So you would pay basically $30 for the Maverick? Don't even bother at that point.


Actually, The game is sixty bucks... I thought there was more when I said I loved it, it's not very good.

Sixty paid to gamestop and get 30 back from the reseller. $30 for a mav.
$60-$30 = $30



#191752 Winter Ohio War

Posted by bobafan on 24 November 2008 - 07:00 PM in Nerf Wars

I don't know where this 'springers suck int the winter' bullshit is coming from, but as long as you have darts that are snug, springers will work well.



#191365 Another Nerf Grenade

Posted by bobafan on 23 November 2008 - 05:43 AM in Homemades

Don't worry about it. They are old enough to be new to a lot of people on here.



#191139 Another Nerf Grenade

Posted by bobafan on 21 November 2008 - 05:51 PM in Homemades

These are old. They were called ubernades or yoopernades.
They work alright, but it is hard to feel if you get hit and they make a mess.



#191118 Over-hand Cocking Mechanism

Posted by bobafan on 21 November 2008 - 04:45 PM in Modifications

He gets the point.

Stop repeating the same thing over and over pointlessly.



#189640 Hey Guys! Quick Question

Posted by bobafan on 14 November 2008 - 12:32 AM in General Nerf

Singled buzz bee big blasts, spy gear signal launchers, titans, and (I think) blast bazooka have been added to the list of guns usually banned when singled.



#189530 Dt3 Modification

Posted by bobafan on 13 November 2008 - 06:03 PM in Modifications

I don't have the arrow shooter.



#189279 Nerf Tank

Posted by bobafan on 12 November 2008 - 03:56 PM in Off Topic

You can use it if i can bring my francesca axe. But seriously, go to a nerf war. You will see that tanks would not things more fun for anybody. If you watch several of the nerf war videos from the NIC, you will see that dodging and being maneuverable are important.

If you had searched, you would have discovered the opinion of tanks in nerf without getting flamed.



#189252 Dt3 Modification

Posted by bobafan on 12 November 2008 - 09:26 AM in Modifications

The camera is on a tripod.

Thanks for the complements FA. I'll put those things in next time.



#189143 Dt3 Modification

Posted by bobafan on 11 November 2008 - 08:48 PM in Modifications

Whups. I should've said used SDR 21 pvc pipe not schedule 40.
Edit: I put a note of it in the video.



#189119 Dt3 Modification

Posted by bobafan on 11 November 2008 - 07:11 PM in Modifications

Yeah, it's Jimi. VooDoo Child live at woodstock.
I didn't think I had seen a nerf video with Jimi before so I decided to go for it.



#189115 Dt3 Modification

Posted by bobafan on 11 November 2008 - 06:58 PM in Modifications

No official ranges yet, but it shoots consiterably farther than my turreted NF which gets low 80s.

Rouge warrior: I don't think it caught. I actually opened it back up because I forgot the trigger. I also put in a better catch spring. I didn't include this in the video because I think you can figure out to put in the trigger and I had already replaced the catch spring once.



#189104 Dt3 Modification

Posted by bobafan on 11 November 2008 - 06:05 PM in Modifications

I finished one of the projects I have on my list.
I have enjoyed FA24's recent instructional videos. I think they more clearly describe what to do than with the traditional writeup.
So I gave it a go and here are the links.

recommended Megavideo (music)

Youtube (no music)

Ranges

Not banded:
85'
95' 10"
96' 1"
98' 4"

banded:
114' 3"
115' 6"
115' 9"
116 10"



#189045 I Was Cleaning....

Also, if it isn't obvious, Mike Piazza is a baseball player. He is the catcher with the most home runs in the MLB.

He does not have the most homeruns. Barry Bonds has the most.

Keyword catcher. Bonds is an outfielder.



#188816 Titan Stefans?

Posted by bobafan on 10 November 2008 - 05:42 PM in Modifications

You didn't go old enough.

Here are the general characteristics of the sizes.

Nanos: Longest ranges, they are tricky to keep stable in flight
Micros: Good ranges, can be stabilized without much difficulty, fairly accurate
Megas: Shorter ranges than the other sizes, they are very stable in flight and very accurate.
Mongos: I have never seen a comparison

Almost everyone uses micros now, so if you use anything else, be sure to bring alot of darts.

Note: These are not my findings, as I have used micros almost exclusively. They are just what I have read during my time here.

I'm sure Lux and I will send you running.

#188259 What The Heck Broken Stefan Tips

Posted by bobafan on 08 November 2008 - 04:05 PM in Homemades

Sputnik, your link doesn't work.

The tips of stefans can break when shot at something hard from a powerful blaster, especially when it is cold. The only thing you can do about it besides not shooting in this way is to use matchstick darts.



#188153 Laptop Recomendation?

Don't get a mac.

I did the hp design your own computer or whatever it is and have been fairly happy with the result.



#186367 Is There A Ner War In Mississippi

Posted by bobafan on 29 October 2008 - 09:09 PM in Nerf Wars

Read this and remember.
It is very unlikely there will be a war in a specific location unless you host it.



#186256 My Unfinished Longshot

Posted by bobafan on 29 October 2008 - 02:34 PM in Modifications

Angelof_death182, lay off it. If an admin thinks he looks too young, they will take care of it. I for one looked younger than him when I was 13.

I would suggest at least fixing the breach before you sell it.
You didn't mention what things you did internally, what did you do?



#186215 Lancer: A Product Of Kappa Sigma Armory

Posted by bobafan on 29 October 2008 - 10:27 AM in Modifications

That's really great.
It seems to me like if you had modeled the magazine cover peices around a high capacity clip, that bit would be more to scale.
Anyway It's great stuff.



#185782 The Snap-1 Compact

Posted by bobafan on 26 October 2008 - 09:41 PM in Homemades

It looks nice. If you decide to make a turret, I wouldn't bother with 8 barrels. I have never run out with 6. You just have to reload a bit as you go. I had no problems taking on an etrl rapid fire shotgun which has twice the number of barrels. It is basically my primary at the moment and i have been doing better than people with traditional primaries at the last 2 wars.

I wore my helm for a round.

Bpso loves his honda.

Pros:
Great turnout
drive felt short
shot a lot of people
wore my helm one round which was fun
the three teams round was great, it ended with a close quarters skirmish with one person from each team (and I killed the other 2)
The second to last round, the teams were well balanced and i had a lot of dodging to do
my warthog NF worked well as a backup
an awesome group rush, in which i got 2 kills with my lightsaber and revolver
seeing twitch's reaction when i shot him in the head while wearing my helm

cons:
my turreted NF broke before the first round started
after I fixed it, the NF broke again (afterwords, i epoxied it again and let it dry longer)
my various couplers were loose due to the cold and barrels flew off
mrbadwrench didn't have a crossfire
my dt3 wasn't done
my participation in team 3k was bad because my at3k sucks



#185397 Fall Ohio War

Posted by bobafan on 24 October 2008 - 08:28 PM in Nerf Wars

Parents want to do a family activity... And I don't have my car to come up either way.

But nerf id a GREAT family activity. You get to shoot each other for fun.

Happy birthday Groove.



#185209 Fall Ohio War

Posted by bobafan on 23 October 2008 - 09:29 PM in Nerf Wars

Weather cleared up, looking like no rain for Saturday. It never rains on Ohio nerf!

Except that time last year it rained.
Anyway, I am hoping to have my DT3 done. If anyone saw it at the Boone war, it had a makeover which should elevate it to a definite primary status.(if the plunger rod is done)

Also, bpso you wanted me to remind you about the SM1500 you are buying and stuff from ace that you were going to get.



#185108 Fall Ohio War

Posted by bobafan on 23 October 2008 - 03:36 PM in Nerf Wars

I'm always open for trades depending on what they are. I usually bring most of my guns but use three or four.



#185071 Reducing Pump Noise

Posted by bobafan on 23 October 2008 - 11:04 AM in Modifications

The only thing that you can do without taking off the stock pump cover is to fill the stock with foam and use craft foam sheeting to pad the edge of the pump cover that hits support inside the shell.

Posted Image

Basicly, put foam wherever there is green. (sorry for the bad bad drawing, I don't have my mouse with me)



#185062 Commlink Ii

Posted by bobafan on 23 October 2008 - 08:25 AM in Modifications

The entire gun is about 1.5" wide,and it narrows in the radio section. So there isn't really much room for anything in that area.



#184984 Maverick

Posted by bobafan on 22 October 2008 - 07:30 PM in Modifications

Firefly and maverick turrets are essentially the same.

Here is a cpvc barrel replacement for the ff.

No, he has it right.

#184376 Ohio University Hvz

Posted by bobafan on 18 October 2008 - 12:25 AM in Nerf Wars

Is there going to be any video of major events? Video of a battle involving hundreds of people would be positively Effeminate.



#184230 Kyno Fall

Posted by bobafan on 16 October 2008 - 08:51 PM in Nerf Wars

I haven't had any reason to get it. Cars are a bottomless pit for money. I can easily get anywhere in town I need to on my bicycle which is both free and exercise. I wouldn't be getting it if I didn't want to deal with getting rides to wars anymore.
