#157870 Nano (oc War June 08)

Posted by Cannonball on 03 June 2008 - 01:41 AM in Nerf Wars

I'm going to start saying Das va danya instead of "hit" when I hit someone then.


So...what exactly does that mean and in what language?



goodbye in russian, if I'm correct.



#158683 Nano (oc War June 08)

Posted by Cannonball on 10 June 2008 - 02:24 PM in Nerf Wars

It's this saturday!? Wow, I completely forgot about it. I may have to check and see if I'm free for it.



#159034 Nano (oc War June 08)

Posted by Cannonball on 13 June 2008 - 01:16 AM in Nerf Wars

guys, I'm going to have to back out on this one. It completely slipped my mind and I had made other plans. Sorry about that everyone, but I know you guys will have fun without me.



#323657 YANO 2: SoCal December War

Posted by Cannonball on 16 November 2012 - 09:41 PM in Nerf Wars

I'm free for the 8th. I'll see if I can wrangle up some of my students.



#322871 YANO 2: SoCal December War

Posted by Cannonball on 21 October 2012 - 04:35 PM in Nerf Wars

My calendar is free. I don't expect anything to interfere, so count me in.

Would it be possible for me to purchase some slugs/friendlier darts from someone? I'd like to bring a group of my students with me if possible, and I don't have the time to sit down to make any sort of darts. And since all I've got are domes, the only blasters I'd be able to use are my ball guns. That's fine with me, but most of my students aren't much for that.



#323716 AMIORS

Posted by Cannonball on 18 November 2012 - 11:08 PM in Darts and Barrels

Why not use a section of drinking straw that you fill with the putty to a certain length, and then cut off and insert into the dart? Might be an easier way to come up with a standard weight. Or would that interfere too much with a dart head bending when used in a hopper?



#133490 More Goodies: New Nerf N-strike Mission Kit With Tactical Light

Posted by Cannonball on 23 December 2007 - 01:23 AM in General Nerf

huh, didn't think this was something you guys were waiting for. I saw one at walmart earlier today. So Cal LA area.



#149609 Spy Gear Signal Launcher

Posted by Cannonball on 06 April 2008 - 02:20 AM in Modifications

I'm out shooting my crossbow with it. Didn't officially range test it but I don't think I need to. It's not silent, but it really isn't loud either.



#149556 Fitted Holster Shorts (fhs)

Posted by Cannonball on 05 April 2008 - 09:01 PM in General Nerf

I saw first hand how these shorts would be useful. my drop-leg got twisted and mixed up on my leg so much from the running and jumping that I just tossed it at one point.



#149820 Spy Gear Signal Launcher

Posted by Cannonball on 07 April 2008 - 12:25 AM in Modifications

I could see how it could be made into a pistol but in my honest opinion I think it is fine the way it is. relocating the pump would make it look stupider than it already looks and probably make it harder to pump to boot.



#149555 Spy Gear Signal Launcher

Posted by Cannonball on 05 April 2008 - 08:56 PM in Modifications

I didn't even plug mine and I'm getting acceptable ranges with 10 pumps. 15 does give it the extra oompf in range but I'd say the valve kicks in at around 20 pumps.



#160359 Camping

Posted by Cannonball on 25 June 2008 - 02:48 AM in Off Topic

It's important to make sure your stuff works and will get the job done too. You don't want your flashlight to crap out on you while you are wandering to the bathroom. I stand by surefire in that respect. A good knife is definitely important. I carry around a fancy survival fixed blade strapped to my leg but that's just me.



#167313 Easy (!) Ls Mod?

Posted by Cannonball on 08 August 2008 - 03:41 AM in Modifications

There's no getting around the fact that you'll have to open the thing up. If you want something fairly easy with ok ranges then I'd stick to the Ar removal/nitefinder spring addition as suggested by others. You could look into making your LS into a carbine so you won't have to mess around with finding suitable barrel material.



#150175 Spy Gear Signal Launcher

Posted by Cannonball on 09 April 2008 - 12:29 AM in Modifications

Just how large is that pump? Anyone think it might be large enough to equal 3-4 pumps of an AT2k pump? Because if it is, it's screaming "pair with an AT2k tank and make it a pump-action air-powered weapon of doom".

~ompa


considering it doesn't take too much to prime the chamber I think it can afford to hold a 2k chamber as well. I may try it out and see what happens



#149429 Spy Gear Signal Launcher

Posted by Cannonball on 05 April 2008 - 01:57 AM in Modifications

Nice job. I seriously just bought and modified that gun today. I think that crazy long brass barrel is a wee bit excessive though. I slapped a coupler on it and have been using an 8 inch barrel. I've been getting similar ranges. Taking it to a war tomorrow actually.



#145331 Fitted Holster Shorts (fhs)

Posted by Cannonball on 16 March 2008 - 12:08 AM in General Nerf

I have a UTG drop leg holster too. It works alot better than the other one I have and I didn't have to stretch it or anything to accommodate the gun. great idea though. my leg straps always seem to shift a bit when I run.

happy birthday FA



#233663 Pullback Shotty

Posted by Cannonball on 31 May 2009 - 08:06 PM in Modifications

I like it. That priming bar and it's tendency to break has been pissing me off. I modded a PAS for a friend and he hasn't taken the best care of it. I may just try this except substitute an aluminum rod instead of cpvc. Kudos for figuring a way around that problem.



#315961 A.R.M.A.G.E.D.D.O,N!

Posted by Cannonball on 21 May 2012 - 06:59 PM in Nerf Wars

Not so sure on the 7th any more. 14th works best for me now.



#314692 A.R.M.A.G.E.D.D.O,N!

Posted by Cannonball on 23 April 2012 - 12:33 AM in Nerf Wars

I've been talking up this event all year. The 7th and 14th work best for me. I plan on bringing as many of my usual cohorts as I possibly can.



#138245 Long Shot Homemade Clips

Posted by Cannonball on 02 February 2008 - 04:25 PM in Modifications

If I recall correctly, I think someone started on a drum magazine using one of those cylindrical rewritable cd cases.



#159028 Nerf Swords

Posted by Cannonball on 12 June 2008 - 10:31 PM in Off Topic

You, are, built!

And you have a punchingbag, a laptop, an air hockey table, a dart board, a sweet couch and a bunch of nerf guns.


And a sweet sword.




looks like you've got an admirer kossaxx



#146536 Sm1500 Assault Rifle

Posted by Cannonball on 23 March 2008 - 11:56 PM in Modifications

The tank doesn't have to be pumped via an external pump...it's just a lot easier that way. I can pump it up at the beginning of the war (i.e. in the morning before starting) and then just keep pumping throughout the day. It doesn't take too much effor to keep it filled, getting filled is the burden (a few minutes of straight pumping). I do agree with you that "unfairness" shouldn't be grounds for banning a gun.



Oh i know you don't have to refill it with an external tank. I was just saying that I thought it'd be better to make one that required only the use of the built in pump with a not so large amount of pumping. That was my fault though, I didn't explain myself to clearly. I'm going to run out tomorrow actually to the hardware store and check out the piping and stuff to see what I can do with my at3k. thanks for the inspiration.



#146457 Sm1500 Assault Rifle

Posted by Cannonball on 23 March 2008 - 03:25 PM in Modifications

I'm not sure if your gun should be banned or not. It isn't exactly a titan but there is that some what rapid firing going on. (as in, you can continue to pull the trigger, not like say a rapidfire 20 where you can hold the trigger down) I could see where that would seem unfair with that kind of distance going for it as well.

I do have to say that I'm not too fond of having to fill the tank with something other than the pump built in. I think a more practical one should have a smaller tank and be able to be filled by the built in pump. Sure the number of shots decrease, but I think it would be less likely to be banned. If anything though, I don't think it should be banned just because it's unfair and people didn't think of doing that to their own guns.



#146399 Sm1500 Assault Rifle

Posted by Cannonball on 23 March 2008 - 01:33 AM in Modifications

I like it. Personally, I've been trying to figure out a way to do something like that with the spare at3k I've got laying around. I may experiment with what you've done a bit. I've got a question though. Are you filling the tank up with the pump on the blaster or a compressor? and if its the pump, how many pumps to fill it to get 30 shots out of it?



#141575 Pop Point Integrations

Posted by Cannonball on 20 February 2008 - 06:49 PM in Modifications

on the subject of those pop points, I was looking through home depot today and they have these snap on saddle pieces for less than a dollar which come in 1/2 and 3/4 sizes. They'd work the exact same way I assume but they are threaded on an end too. may come in handy.



#141196 Pop Point Integrations

Posted by Cannonball on 19 February 2008 - 12:15 AM in Modifications

I don't know guys, I think I am being compelled to just go out and buy a crossbow and see how many guns I can stick to it before I fall over. I have a question though cole, how are you turreting all of the spidey dart tag barrels? and are the ranges worth the turreting? I know I've separated the barrels so that I have 3 individual ones but did you lengthen the tubing too?



#130772 Are You Kidding Me?

Posted by Cannonball on 27 November 2007 - 01:09 AM in General Nerf

I guess no one is desperate enough to take that xbow off that guy's hands. You'd think he'd learn by now.



#130779 Are You Kidding Me?

Posted by Cannonball on 27 November 2007 - 02:37 AM in General Nerf

Some things, Like the Crossbow, need to be left to retire and die. A re-release, as stated by almost everyone (who matters) above would be terrible. That's like a terrible sequel to a really good movie/movies. Like Jurassic Park 3. way to kill something I loved since I was a kid. Or a better example: The next Indiana Jones movie. You can't bring it back after so long. It just won't be the same.



#127618 Do You Think We Kind Of Have An Anarchy?

Posted by Cannonball on 26 October 2007 - 10:50 PM in General Nerf

There's no problems at NerfHaven.


Only uptight members and trolls from airsoft and paintball who want to prove something, somehow, by messing with the normal members' minds.


No fences or walls holding any of us in. We are free to leave if we don't like how things are done here.


Or, we can show you the door...that method usually comes with lots of fanfare, sometimes quite silently.


No problems.



-Piney-


hey hey, not all of the airsoft trolls are douche bags, or am I the only exception?



#160179 Eye Protection

Posted by Cannonball on 23 June 2008 - 10:45 PM in Nerf Wars

Grow a pair. Glasses are for pussies.



That may be, but after a war I will be certain that I'm a pussy who can see from both eyes still.

In any case, I use these impact resistant shades I picked up at my local home depot. They are tinted and have this green reflective coating on the front that I think looks cool. It doesn't make me see green though. They've served me pretty well so far.



#137254 Heath Ledger Is Dead

Posted by Cannonball on 25 January 2008 - 09:21 PM in Off Topic

I kind of liked jack nicholson as the joker. Do you think Heath ledger did any better?



#155822 Fiction

Posted by Cannonball on 14 May 2008 - 05:33 PM in Off Topic

Good, I'm not the only one who has worked out a potential escape route in the off chance of an undead uprising. I still need to buy world war Z though.



#282739 Halo: Reach Pistol Nf

Posted by Cannonball on 10 August 2010 - 03:56 PM in Homemades

I would totally be interested as well!



#300982 Armageddon XII Planning Thread

Posted by Cannonball on 04 July 2011 - 02:58 AM in Nerf Wars

So did that photographer just abscond with our group photo? I hope that kid's on the forums...

anywho, it was a pretty good day.

Kind of sad that my Maximizer broke though. looks like I'm in the market for one.

- awesome attendance. Glad we had some new faces. Sorry I couldn't remember all your names all the time. Make sure you new guys stay in contact with us. We do wars monthly. So let's repeat the fun!
- some old faces. Glad we've got such an awesome nerfing group here, fellas.
- camping at the top of the slide was fun while it lasted.
- missile crisis was pretty fun
- running up on Wesley with my ball gun as the other team looked on.
- Pirate captains is always fun
- That whole multi-team game was pretty fun. I had a fun team to play with at least.

Kind of bummed that I had to leave before the day was through, but I had fun anyway. Can't wait till next year.



#298647 Armageddon XII Planning Thread

Posted by Cannonball on 26 May 2011 - 01:05 AM in Nerf Wars

I'm more of a maybe now. Family reunion in wisconsin may run longer than I thought. I might be back the night before the war, which would work out perfectly. So we'll see.



#299952 Armageddon XII Planning Thread

Posted by Cannonball on 16 June 2011 - 04:33 PM in Nerf Wars

I can make it! So it'll be me plus 2-3 if I'm lucky.



#297220 Armageddon XII Planning Thread

Posted by Cannonball on 16 April 2011 - 09:25 PM in Nerf Wars

The only dates I can make with certainty are the 2nd and 9th of July. I'm booked for the rest.



#152949 For Those That Think I Seem "mean"

Posted by Cannonball on 24 April 2008 - 05:24 PM in Off Topic

I agree with everyone else in saying that your criticism is not misplaced and that you do help people out. With that said, I think you should press that condescending/douchebag/angry criticism button a little more sparingly. In some situations where people are asking for help, they simply have no idea how to do something or are just asking a simple question, the meanness is unecessary. People can't be expected to know everything or be as profficient as you are in putting stuff together and so forth. Just thought I'd say that bit. You're being honest with everybody though, and it takes a real man to do that. Keep up the good work slug and I hope things get easier on ya.



#290101 Scun December 18th War: Christ

Posted by Cannonball on 04 December 2010 - 11:55 PM in Nerf Wars

I'm in. I might be able to wrangle up some of my crew.
