In addition to what Bomberman mentioned, putting a coupler on your NF, adding a second spring, improving the seal, and plugging the secondary AR is also a good idea. You can drastically increase your NF's range for outdoor use, and it isn't that bad indoors as well (a well modified NF can get between 50 to 70 ft). Everything you need is in the fore-mentioned Modifications Directory ----^

I can see these being used for scenario-type matches. You know, like nerf tanks or forts, and these would serve as "anti-material" rounds. Good work.
How hard do you think these things hit? Can it go through cardboard? Just wondering, because I want to know if we can allow these at wars.
Edit: these look kinda like those grenades for the M203...
Edit 2: ignore those questions, i didn't see your post about it

You know, I was like you for a bit. No one nerfed much in the SE, let alone GA. So I was like: To heck with it, I'll host one myself. So it started off as a small group of friends, and then I found Zaxbys on the Haven, so we played a few local wars. Eventually, we decided to host a large regional war, SENO, which turned out successful. We may even host an encore SENO.
Moral is, don't complain. Get out there, find some friends to play with. Play in the backyard, the house, the park. It doesn't have to be huge, but you gotta get out and start one yourself. Eventually, it may turn into an annual regional war, or even gain legendary status like Apoc.

This is probably the most beautiful personal interpretation of SENO (it sure sounds like it) I've ever heard. It's been an honor serving with you A side and an honor hosting SENO. Until next time we meet.

The black piece doesn't affect the range of the recon. Well, at least in my clan's recons. That black piece is just a cover for the plunger arm. The newer recons all have this piece.

I've heard from Zax, and we think we should wait til October/November (it is a little early to hold another SENO, when the last one was about 2-3 weeks ago...). Hang tight until we come up with an exact date.

Okay, if you're interested, my clan is preparing to host a Fall SENO. Exact date is uncertain, but we're gunning for around Labor Day. I'll have to talk to Zaxbys and his group first to see if they're interested. SENO has no age limit, but please be mature enough to take a hit, because, at the last SENO, there were some pretty hi-power guns out on the field (mine included). I still have a 2-week old welt from Zax's BigBlast. We didn't do any trading, but if a deal comes up, we may do so.
I'm going to let the age thing slide for now....that was weird...

Zaxbys and I just finished hosting the SouthEast Nerf Outing (SENO) in Augusta in July, and I know Zax does a war up in Clinton, SC (PCNO I think). There are quite a few of us in the Augusta area that nerf. We may host a fall SENO later this year. Be on the look out for a planning thread...

Wait...5 on 3? Why don't you just play 4 on 4?
You have some fairly reliable guns (LS, NFs). Maybe you should invest some time in modding your guns more; it would give you more capability on the field.
However, it all comes down to how you play. Takes a little practice to become efficient with a given gun, and different guns play differently. You just have to figure out what works for you.
I'll give you these very basic tips (none of that complicated squad manuevering stuff) that have helped me. These are the meat and potatoes of a good nerfer, in my opinion.
-Communicate, you have teammates for a reason, they can help you and you can help them.
-Pay attention (watch your backside and flanks)
-Aim then shoot, don't spray your ammo uselessly everywhere. Just take a sec to aim first, you'll score more hits that way.
-Move, don't become a sitting duck. Use cover and change positions often to avoid being pindown.
Oh, and by the way, please use capitalization and fix your grammar. A little bit goes a long way. Welcome to the Haven!

I'm actually experimenting with .75" to 1" stefans right now. I'm loading 3-4 of them into my converted watergun barrel and using it as a shotgun. 2 or 3 of those short stefans also fits into my modded NF, thus converting it into a mini shotgun.

That's pretty awesome!
Questions: 1) Are those stock guns? 2) What are the ranges? 3) Does the integration get in the way of the rfr's priming handle? 4) I can't really tell from the pics, but does the integration block the rfr's clip?
You know, you could make it a bolty with this mod. Cool paintjob as well.

Ditto to all of the above.
The nightfinder is a very good/inexpensive beginner gun to mod and use. Take out the AR, put a second NF spring (or some other similar spring), slap a coupler on it, and you're good to go. Anywhere from 50 to 70 ft, if modded correctly. Welcome to the Haven!

#166716 Question About Stefans

Nerf Wars
Yeah, the pre-loaded barrels are a good idea. I used this exact tactic for SENO, by shotgun loading my barrels with three really short stefans. This is good idea if your gun has enough power to propel all the darts. I use this in my converted hi-power watergun, but recently found out my cpvc'd-doubled spring NF is also able to do this (at a lost of 5-10 ft, but hey, it's a shotgun now). It's pretty devastating.

Looks cool!
I have a couple of questions...
Does it prime via a spring? And if so what kind?
Also are you shells going to be cpvc or brass?
-Upperhand
I can't answer your second question because it's not my gun, but I think I know the answer to the first one. Judging from the trigger, it looks kinda like Carbon's SNAP-type design, but as to which spring I have no idea. Correct me if I'm wrong MoonMaster.

Nice bullpup design, but I have a few questions. How do you prime the gun? I mean, does the bolt assembly also cock the gun or does the plunger have it's own priming system? Perhaps you can make your write up more specific as well, like parts (and instructions).
I know you haven't finished the gun and obtained ranges yet, but those would be nice to know. Good job!

Yet another grenade idea...I'm sorry dude, mrcrouse1 is right, if there aren't any nerf products in it, it's not really a "nerf" grenade. So far, the Haven hasn't seen a working AND practical nerf grenade design (with the exception of the bunkerbuster design, which isn't used much anyways).
If you search for "nerf grenade", you'll see some tried-failed designs and several prototypes. Perhaps you could help improve on these actual nerf grenades. Enjoy your stay at the Haven!

First things first, thank you to everyone who came out for SENO. This was the first large war I've helped organize/host and I'm glad it was successful. Thank you to Zaxbys as well for he part as well. Hopefully we will see some of you again for a possible fall SENO. Now, for my opinions...
Pros
- Great turn out from the area Haven members.
- Meeting Groove and several other members in person.
- Seeing different guns in action.
- Pizza
- Cmdrmack's awesome kilt.
- Scoring two headshots off of Groove, haha.
- Having everyone run away screaming "oh shit" when Groove rushed us.
- Awesome humans vs. zombies rounds
- Good variety of match types
- Having lots of fun.
Cons
- Heat
- which was followed by an unexpected rainstorm
- Running low on ammo (I'll need to more next time haha)
- Being on the receiving end of a BBBB
- Not finishing the gunslinger round due to the rain, but we shall settle it next time...
Again, thank you to everyone who made SENO possible and thank you to those who participated. Hope to see you guys at the next war. Who knows, it may be the next SENO...

Just as a reminder:

Just as a reminder:
- Eye protection is mandatory.
- Guns will be judged on a case-by-case basis, so bring a backup gun just in case.
- Bring enough fluids to keep you going from 12 to 6pm.
- Bring about $5 if you would like pizza.
- Make sure you're ok with taking a leak in some bushes (public facilities may or may not be open on the 26th).
- You can/should park in the lot right next to the playground (not the gym).
- Have fun!

Decent range? For indoors maybe, but outdoors, one would get destroyed if he/she was using a stock recon. But I agree with you, the rail system is pretty fun. The recon, while not the hottest gun on the field, is always fun to use. Check out some of the mods for the recon in the forums, they should help you out some.

Alright, I got some pics of Garrett Elementary. This is our primary location unless something comes up and we have to move to Warren Road. A side's overhead pics can be used for reference/comparison. I hope these help!
This is the overview picture of the playground. You can see the gym in the background to the top left. The gym marks the north boundary. We'll use that area if we need to.
Sorry for the blurry pic. You can see the "trench" dividing the playground in the middle. The other trench is in the treeline in the top right of the picture. This trench marks the east boundary of the playing field.
This is the courtyard between the two wings. It's perfect for small, close-range battles.
Here is the front of the school. The left edge of this yard is the west boundary of the field. Besides the few large trees to the right, there is very little cover.
