#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.



#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.



#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.



#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



#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.



#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.



#128222 Happy Birthday Forsaken_angel24!

Posted by Cannonball on 01 November 2007 - 02:20 PM in Off Topic

happy birthday FA



#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.



#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.



#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.



#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?



#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.



#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.



#154993 Nano (oc War June 08)

Posted by Cannonball on 06 May 2008 - 10:03 PM in Nerf Wars

dang, you guys are keeping us busy. Count me in unless something happens.



#157853 Nano (oc War June 08)

Posted by Cannonball on 02 June 2008 - 11:00 PM in Nerf Wars

Right on. I really liked that little park we played at. On an unrelated note, if bag's has his own little faction of SCUN, and you do also, where does that put the new guys like me? Are we just going to be the "eternal new guys" or something? Thought it was an almost funny question worth asking



#143132 Jspb Max Fire & Biomech

Posted by Cannonball on 28 February 2008 - 11:39 PM in Homemades

I believe the in line clip on the at2k you were referring to had the check valve on the back and it was used for loading darts instead of using a cap.



#157864 Nano (oc War June 08)

Posted by Cannonball on 03 June 2008 - 12:20 AM in Nerf Wars

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



#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.



#142733 Jspb Max Fire & Biomech

Posted by Cannonball on 26 February 2008 - 11:41 PM in Homemades

I know what you are talking about baghead, but wasn't that 3DBBQ's idea though? I'm thinking of trying it out myself, I was wondering though, if the gun is tilted, isn't there a chance that the rounds will just fall into the T instead of into the barrel?



#215372 So I Modded My Rf20

Posted by Cannonball on 27 February 2009 - 04:41 PM in Modifications

Why not replace the pump with a double action bike pump? They are pretty nifty



#125914 Nerf Guns For 2008

Posted by Cannonball on 12 October 2007 - 12:43 AM in General Nerf

Thats going to be hella awesome!

This has now progressed to the point where it is too painful to read. I won't spoil it for cmdrmack's sake, though.


Damn I'm stupid so cmdrmack just made that up.



I now understand why there are Emo kids..



#196279 January Lano 2009

Posted by Cannonball on 15 December 2008 - 12:56 AM in Nerf Wars

I go back to school the 26th I believe. I'm not sure of what's going on, but anything before that is good. The 17th seems like a good date to me.



#204300 January Lano 2009

Posted by Cannonball on 17 January 2009 - 11:54 PM in Nerf Wars

Wow, attitude's not necessary man. Anyway, I'll dig through my junk to see if I have a bolt sled for ya. I know I have some spare LS parts, but no promises.



#174692 Fall 'geddon 2008

Posted by Cannonball on 03 September 2008 - 11:22 AM in Nerf Wars

I'm psyched. Haven't been to a war in a while! Oh, and I might also be bringing my buddy who came with me to the last CAFF



#171886 Fall 'geddon 2008

Posted by Cannonball on 23 August 2008 - 08:07 PM in Nerf Wars

California freaking blows.

In an unrelated note, I'm in.

I really liked playing at Cullen the last time. Sellers, not so much. Or is it the other way around? Which one is the one where that teacher douche came out and yelled at us for nerfing while those skaters were less than 5 feet away?



#272727 Petg Breech Breakthough

Posted by Cannonball on 19 April 2010 - 09:30 PM in Homemades

I would also highly recommend bringing in a sample of PETG with you if you decide to buy some SCH 80 at a local store. I've found that the ID sometimes vary and have accidentally bought some SCH 80 that fit my PETG too tight or didn't fit them at all.



#173089 Fall 'geddon 2008

Posted by Cannonball on 28 August 2008 - 12:56 AM in Nerf Wars

can't wait for it. I need to get my gear set up.



#171174 The Megamaverick!

Posted by Cannonball on 21 August 2008 - 01:23 AM in Modifications

I like it. Didn't Captain Slug work on a maverick without that whole front part?



#239929 Season Of Foam - Northern California

Posted by Cannonball on 03 July 2009 - 01:07 AM in Nerf Wars

Alright, count me in on this adventure. I leave the 10th and come back the 14th so I'll be free for it. Like I said, I can pay for food and gas and what ever supplies. I'll even put in extra if it means I don't have to drive.



#239731 Season Of Foam - Northern California

Posted by Cannonball on 02 July 2009 - 12:56 AM in Nerf Wars

If we get a convoy together, count me in. I'm looking at my calendar and it looks blank. Lord knows something always sneaks up on me last minute. I don't mind chipping in for gas and food for the convoy though.



#160429 June Yano 2008

Posted by Cannonball on 25 June 2008 - 07:23 PM in Nerf Wars

good point. I didnt even consider the weather.



#160321 June Yano 2008

Posted by Cannonball on 24 June 2008 - 07:51 PM in Nerf Wars

you guys are making me wake up early!? ah well, I guess we get to run a little longer then. the time is fine with me.



#157851 June Yano 2008

Posted by Cannonball on 02 June 2008 - 10:55 PM in Nerf Wars

I'd prefer the weekend. saturday and sunday would work for me as well. I do have church, but that might give me the opportunity to convince someone else to come. the more the merrier.



#157239 June Yano 2008

Posted by Cannonball on 28 May 2008 - 12:11 AM in Nerf Wars

I'm down for now. what day does the 28th land on anyway? CAFF was a little weird due to it being on a monday.
