Second what Kane said.
This was the first war I attended in nearly a year, and every part was as great as Ryan hyped it up to be. Besides getting to see all the Nerfers I really missed seeing (Stark and Atomatron and Venom and SonReese and special guest VIPs CK and Xellah) the actual Nerfing was pretty on-point. I'm also still acclimating myself to the tighter-quarter Midwest wars where I don't actually need an airgun, so that's been an interesting transition. Probably won't ever happen tho.
Can't wait for the next one.

Where have you seen this.are Li-Pos dangerous though? I've seen people puncture many Lipo batteries and just end up frying their whole blaster on fire.

I'd like to do some drinking and partying afterwards, even if it means only myself will be drinking donut beer.

Name: Gears' BDay Beatdown War
Where: TBA
When: 12 September 2015
Why: Bringing back the glory days of Chicago.
Blaster Restrictions:
Air blasters with airtanks larger than a 4B.
Air blasters originally firing darts larger than an OG Mega must have the original pump and OPV.
Darts:
Slugs and safer ammo.
The purpose of this war is to host event a month or so after Apoc to fall in line with the one month separation between the regional "large" summer wars. I'm hoping for this to be a war that brings the IL vets out of the woodwork and rekindle the flames. Stay tuned. Details will come shortly.
UPDATE: Ryan and Kane and myself checked out some parks this past weekend a little bit, and we are still searching for the best possible venue in the greater Chicago area.

I've been wondering the same thing, because the Stampede I own says the same thing. It's cool, because the ECS-50 is actually raised on the plastic, and not just painted on. I think you are maybe the second or third other person I have heard actually owning a Stampede like this.Were they from an early production run? Any specifics would be appreciated.

Extra nice. Solscud007 did something similar using a Longstrike and a UMB a couple years ago.
This is exactly the sort of blaster Nerfers should be bringing to their first NIC event. Simple, effective, and with some thrifting, all under $25.

Kinda sorta interested (the park looks nice), but what's with the blaster rules? Titans and 3Bs are on totally different levels of acceptability, and aren't really comparable since no one really nerfs with a Titan anyway.
And what goes beyond "basic" stefans? Are slugs okay?
Or is this just a superstock event?

In all seriousness though, I thankfully can't recall a single instance back in PA/NJ where this became a constant issue. Now that I'm playing in Chicago, it's an even bigger blessing that even with the new players who have been popping their war cherries, I haven't had an issue with a single person yet.

The Penn State Urban Gaming Club always used the spiel that nerfing (especially when events can be ran Friday's/Saturday's) late into the evening serve as a safe place for students to socialize in a safe, controlled area of play that doesn't involve drinking and getting in general trouble.
Maybe that can help?

I have been using a pocket knife and carving off little bits of my moms memory foam mattress the past year and she hasn't noticed yet. The foam is thick, consistent, and is the only foam I can easily find by scent. You can't do this every war though so be careful!

Where did you read that the kit was discontinued? Nerf Modders Welcome?
As far as I have been told, the Longstrike kit was been taken down from the webstore as a means of OMW staff catching up with preexisting orders. Once they are caught up and stock has been replenished, I have been told the kit will go back up online.

You have my attention.
As far as games as large as these go, I think your best bet would be to keep it cool, relaxed, and casual for the players who most certainly are not even aware of modified blasters. It has been my experience in playing HvZ the past five years that for every one dedicated player, there are a dozen players who treat HvZ as a social event, and less the faux-larp it should be.
It may be best to simply keep all blasters bone stock, with the exception of external accessories (slings, lights, etc...). Depending on when this happens, and the size of the event, I may be willing to make the trek over for it.

I installed mine yesterday and it seems to shoot visibly harder than my OMW Alpha Trooper and Rampage. I'll be running the Immortal Longstrike through its paces in a few weeks at the Bowling Green HvZ Winter Invitational, but until then, I'll spend time making it functionally a better blaster for HvZ purposes.

I have had nothing but great experiences using Narrowbase's 3D printed holsters. I ran their Firestrike holster pretty hard over the course of an eight hour game, and it help up great. There was an expected "break-in" period where the blaster is very difficult to draw, but once it's broken in, it's pretty flawless.
I have the Hammershot holster as well, but I haven't had an opportunity to use it extensively.
