#13367 At3k Leak

Posted by cooldood31 on 28 November 2003 - 09:51 PM in Modifications

It's a bit off topic but Ice Nine, how did you get the barrel assembly off your at3k? is is just singled or is it a clip or breech loader?



#17776 Avatars

Posted by cooldood31 on 31 January 2004 - 09:19 PM in Site Feedback

I love squirrels to! I love throwing rocks at them and shooting them with my slingshot. I mean, like what would we do without squirrels?

By the way, could you put up a wolf avatar?



#94709 Bbb Modification Help

Posted by cooldood31 on 17 November 2006 - 03:25 PM in Modifications

I would definately suggest removing the air restrictor, as having it in there hinders the performance of the gun.



#12688 Best Gun

Posted by cooldood31 on 10 November 2003 - 08:14 PM in General Nerf

I don't own it, i just said it was a cool gun. (wish I owned a pair of those)



#12675 Best Gun

Posted by cooldood31 on 10 November 2003 - 06:23 PM in General Nerf

My favourite gun was my late supermaxx 3K (may it rest in pieces). I also liked this gun I saw at my little brother's school bazaar. it had a silver pullback mechanism on the top and the rest was black. On the side it said "2003 buzz bee toys" I searched arround for it on the internet but all that came up was this little talking plush bee. Anyone see that gun?



#95856 Best Weapon To Use.....

Posted by cooldood31 on 03 December 2006 - 09:38 PM in General Nerf

Since it's close quarters, using a long blaster is probably a bad idea, so that rules out the longshot. And also, the longshot has a lower ammo capacity than both other types of Nerf gun available to you, so that's another point against it.

Though the magstrike is great for close quarters, the reload time may be a problem. If you get rushed while trying to pump it 20-30 times and reload a magazine (or is it a clip in the MSs case, as it goes into the top of the gun, and the whole thing moves?) you're toast. So unless you have a sidearm or practice shooting short (2-4 round) bursts and then repriming, and always have enough ammo to keep both magazines loaded, using the magstrike is not the greatest idea.

The Dart Tag Blaster has the same ammo capacity as the magstrike, and a shorter repriming time. It is also a lot more compact than the Longshot. So, in this situation I would have to say that the DTS is probably the best way to go.

If it was a long range battle, I'd advise using the longshot. If sidearms were available, I'd say the Magstrike.



#19443 Brass Or Cpvc

Posted by cooldood31 on 21 February 2004 - 06:35 PM in Modifications

Use cpvc: it's cheap (3.14$ canadian for 10 feet. That's what, 2 cents american?), and it works.



#16153 Buster Sword

Posted by cooldood31 on 10 January 2004 - 07:43 PM in Homemades

Way to big. I'd take a broad sword or 2 sabers (thick blade, not fencing type) over that any day, but it would be cool to beat someone with pvc nunchucks (yes i do mean the ol' wheat-beaters) you could even use some plastic chain like they have for those stupid fences! I think I'm gonna make a pair.



#16160 Buster Sword

Posted by cooldood31 on 10 January 2004 - 08:26 PM in Homemades

Nerfer16, like dav said his practice ones were like i'd cover 'em in foam (pipe insulator)



#56887 Buxx Bee Toys

Posted by cooldood31 on 07 June 2005 - 04:50 PM in General Nerf

The owner of the company has an account at isoaker.com and asks what we'd like to see and tells us a bit about what's coming out. They make great soakers, way better than hasbro's lines over the past 3 years. As for the double shot, I'm working on making homemade shells for mine, should improve performance. People thought the scout stank, than they learned how to make it shoot 60-70 feet (from what I've been reading around here). The double shot is fun to shoot, and would be ok for indoor wars, but don't expect more than 30 feet flat from it.

Come to think about it, shooting off a pair of buzz bee toys pistols at a fun fair a couple years ago, is what got me into nerf.



#47416 Ch-ch-ch-changes Redux

Posted by cooldood31 on 17 February 2005 - 03:44 PM in News

Wow. This is quite the change, but whatever works best. Good luck with your new jobs, Talio and Shindig. Have fun using your new powers to wreak total havoc and/or end world hunger or stop war or something like that. Looking forward to see what you've got planned CX, as I think I've said before, this next little while's going to be interesting.



#95676 Christmas List 2006

Posted by cooldood31 on 01 December 2006 - 04:33 PM in Off Topic

-Bubble Bobble Revolution (DS). I remember playing the original on the commodor 64 when I was about 5 years old (and then the disk got scratched. It's among my top ten video games of all time, so the new one must be good.

-Nerf Magstrike. I need more clips for the one I already have, and dual wielding the would be awesome for indoor Nerf wars.

-Chapters/Coles gift certificate. I like being able to get a Wolverine comic book every month.

-Nintendo DS screen protectors. If you saw the screen on my GBA, you would understand instantly



#13208 Clip Loading At3k

Posted by cooldood31 on 24 November 2003 - 08:30 PM in Modifications

clip mod= no turret

what size for stefan micros?



#13195 Clip Loading At3k

Posted by cooldood31 on 24 November 2003 - 03:28 PM in Modifications

I saw this clip loading BnA at Nerfhq and I thought it was cool. Now I want to make my AT3K a clip loader, but what sizes of PVC will I need to shoot mega stefans? Can I just clip through the metal bar that holds the turret in? Has anybody done this before?



#13242 Clip Loading At3k

Posted by cooldood31 on 25 November 2003 - 02:56 PM in Modifications

I'm going to single barrel it because i'm getting another. And wouldn't a clip loader get more range than a cpvc turret? And if I have 2 why mod them the same?



#13258 Clip Loading At3k

Posted by cooldood31 on 25 November 2003 - 07:14 PM in Modifications

My toys r us is out of AT2Ks. And I like the size of the AT3K more if I'm going to use it for a losing weapon. And I repeat my question from before, can I just cut through that small metal piece that connects the turret to the gun?



#12207 Costs

Posted by cooldood31 on 31 October 2003 - 04:48 PM in General Nerf

Try to put in a bit of sarcasm...

#12199 Costs

Posted by cooldood31 on 31 October 2003 - 03:01 PM in General Nerf

I'm kinda new to nerfing (in the serious sense, if that's possible) so before i go off and beg my parents to take me to Wal Mart or Toys R Us i'd like to know the prices of the AT1K, AT2K, and AT3k in Canadian dollars. I dont want to go only to find out that i don't have enough money (I have a very tight "budget") so please help me out.



#12210 Costs

Do you always pick on vacc?



#13370 Crayola Markers

Posted by cooldood31 on 28 November 2003 - 10:02 PM in Modifications

Just buy some 1/2" cpvc pipe. It's really cheap (under 5$) and works well with micro stefans. That's how I did mine and it stings for 5 minutes if you shoot yourself at 3". My parents won't let me shoot my sibling because it "might hurt them too much".



#94199 Dartsmithing Tips Archive

Posted by cooldood31 on 11 November 2006 - 09:39 PM in Darts and Barrels

"Is it possible to buy foam backer rod from a store, and if so, where would you look to buy it?
Since I live in Canada, I don't have an Ace Hardware or Lowes near me."-Croc

I live in Canada also. I've been able to find 1/2" foam backer rod in the weather stripping sections at Canadian Tire, Rona, and the Building Box.

Cool! I didn't know many other people here read those. Cool that you won. You're obviously not that bad of an artist if you got your comic on there.



#72020 First Attempt At A Homebrew Gun

Posted by cooldood31 on 31 January 2006 - 07:00 PM in Homemades

Carbon, simplicity is half the reason I thought of a sten. Speaking of mass production, once the SNAP mk.2 is out, if it's shooting better (80 feet would be a good goal to shoot for) could you put the instructions out online, that would be awesome. I could easily see these things becoming the backbone of my arsenal.

A neat idea to do (once the instructions are out) is to have people pm you when they finish one, and you could keep track of the number of SNAPs produced in your sig. It would be interesting to see how many people start making these.

Once you have the basic SNAP shooting at a slightly higher range, another idea would be to try making some with turreted barrels (like an airtech 2000), or a bolt action clip (I think it's Ompa or Pineapple that makes these), of course you'd make the clip feed horizontaly right?



#71992 First Attempt At A Homebrew Gun

Posted by cooldood31 on 31 January 2006 - 01:23 PM in Homemades

Sweet homemade, Carbon. If you manage to get the thing working more efficiantly, I might make one myself (it would be my first homemade). It reminds me a bit of a sten (british submachine gun from ww2). Good luck with the changes, and I hope you find a good name for it.



#72095 First Attempt At A Homebrew Gun

Posted by cooldood31 on 01 February 2006 - 11:11 PM in Homemades

The long barrel might be what is causing lack of range. A plunger that size should be giving a lot more power. By the way, what are you weighting your darts with? It might also be just because your darts are too wide for the barrel. Once you find better fbr, could you try range testing again and see what you get. I'm sure the ranges will go up.



#72169 First Attempt At A Homebrew Gun

Posted by cooldood31 on 02 February 2006 - 09:51 PM in Homemades

That is one of the few Nerf guns I like the black paintjob on. Good job. I also like the fake clip, but just out of curiosity why didn't you put it directly left if you're going for the sten look? Anyways once you get the ranges with stefans, I might make a pair so I can dual wield them (has anyone here played the singapore sling level of Medal of Honour: Rising Sun? Sweet cutscene...).



#33242 Forgive My Noobness

Posted by cooldood31 on 05 August 2004 - 09:03 PM in Modifications

If the barrel is attached to theplunger, hacksaw it off 1/4" away from the plunger in it's uncocked position and glue/ epoxy/ duct-tape a barrel in place. Internals pics?

What city?!?!?!?!?!? What street?!?!?!?! I wanna get my hands on a couple! YAY!!! Max Shots! :D



#73203 Hasbro Press Release 2-9-06

Posted by cooldood31 on 15 February 2006 - 05:18 PM in General Nerf

The magstrike sounds interesting. I'm betting it's just a remoddled powerclip, but it might just be another multishot spring. The CS6 is probably going to be way underpowered, but I'm betting that the shell will be awesome for intigrations. As for the "scope" and stock, well, that's what dremels are for.



#13058 Help Me!

Posted by cooldood31 on 20 November 2003 - 04:47 PM in General Nerf

First of all, learn how to spell. Second, you don't need support, just cash. Third, your not alone, my parents said i'll be lucky if I get 2 things off the internet in a year!

(nerf guns are ussually found at toys r us or walmart)



#14141 Hey Hey

Posted by cooldood31 on 11 December 2003 - 08:29 PM in General Nerf

Copper sucks. Try 1/2" cpvc, I used that on practicly all my guns and it works great (it's cheap to).
