We won't be doing any particularly complicated game types, as this is the first NIC style war we will be attempting.
Gametypes might include simple 3-15, meatgrinder, DTC, CTF, Wingmen, Gunslingers Heaven, and anything else reasonably simple.
I am not positive what this group's ranges are like, so if you come make sure you bring a primary with lower (80ish) ranges in case I have to impose an on the spot range limit.
The Gaming part of the title refers to the fact that the group likes melee, so there will be a melee round or 2, probably towards the end of the day when lighting makes finding darts difficult.
Lunch has not been planned out yet, although there are numerous nearby restaurants/fastfood joints.
Here is how I am running pistol rounds:
"Pistolsplats are not considered pistols in pistol only rounds unless they have a RSCB or something to limit ranges. Nitefinders are okay within reason.
Pistols is 3-15 with Mavericks, Nitefinders, Pistolsplats (as noted above), Tek6s, Tek4s, etc. Ranges need to be under 60 or so. I will allow pistol'd Recons, although you can have a max of 2 6rd clips. Clips on NFs/PSs can hold no more then 3 darts. Wingmen is the same except people are in teams of 2. We might try 2 teams if we have the time (we probably will)."
If anything in there is incorrect, correct me.
Meatgrinder and 3-15 with primaries and pistols are definate game types and will probably be the backbone of TANGO I. I am working on a 2x2ft. core which will be on 3 ft. legs. Carpe, Protect the VIP, and CTF are also being considered.
Any suggestions?

By the way, I do have another question: Is there a limit to the capacity of the clip on hoppers, Rscb's, etc? Also, I may need a nitefinder or 2 - one for me and one for my bro. If you or someone you know has an extra, could you bring them?
No capacity limits.
For the pistol round, I do have pistolsplats and nitefinders, though you might have to use long barrels with them to bring range down.

Nevermind, reread your post.
So, I have 2 questons at the moment:
1) What material did you use for your shotgun grip/arms?
2) Have you had dart shredding issues with your breech?

The inner diameter is about 4in. I started working on one last fall, but shit came up and I never got back to it.
It is at Walmart and less then $10. My plan is to attach it to a nitefinder a la The lord of fish via a combination of couplers, bushings, hot glue, and ducttape.
It is a 2-way pump, which means hot glueing (sp?) the 'plunger head' is required.

Basically, the lack of backup electricity from outside the plant shut down the pumping system.
This means that they couldn't pump water through the reactor to cool it.
What they've now done is allowed sea water to flood into it in a last ditch effort to cool the reactor.
If the reactor melts down, it will melt through its concrete containment and through the earth down to the water table.
When it hits the water table, that water instantly turns into steam, and will cause a massive explosion, throwing fallout everywhere.
Even if the sea water does work, it will corrode the pipes. This means they'll have to build a containment dome ala Chernobyl at the very least.

Works similar to my first breech, just with clips.
That is acryllic with an ID of CPVC's OD (5/8),
The epoxy putty is so the 'bridge' doesn't crack.

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.
This is makeitgo's video, and the Canadian Nerfers thread is makeitgo's write-up. This makes sense, seeing as how makeitgo is a Nerfer from Canada.
Here is his writeup thread posted on SgNerf Forum: http://nerfsg.freefo...-o-b-t2679.html
Also, food for thought:

I'm not sure which it is, but Sg and Oz Nerf sites both seem free of BBs, ball bearings, washers, etc. in their darts.
I suspect pain is a factor of surface area, so having a larger striking surface (i.e. slugs) will lower pain more than a spongier material. Perhaps we can just make a cylindrical 'head' that has no tapering at all, and see if that helps with the pain.

Example of them being used: SGN R-Series Blaster - PAR55M Demo
Airsoft and similar toys are banned in Singapore and Australia. The less airsoft-y they can make darts, the better. Thus, no metal.
Moving the eraser bit back would provide more padding on the front; however, that would move the center of gravity back which would make the dart less accurate (I think).
