I was in the process of making my own nerf website. It's not to give me a chance to play admin, but to provide a website tailored to what I believe a forum should be. Don't get me wrong, NH is great, but there are noobs and people who can't type for shit that keep getting on my nerves, and I don't intend to allow it at the new site.Why do we keep having these new forums pop up? We already have NH and NHQ. It sounds like these noobs just want a chance to play admin. (no offence Rings)

Never strech a catch spring, because it will become weaker over time. Add more springs of the same size, such as those from a mechanical pencil or from a hobby shop to increase the catch strength.

If you could refine the design a bit, and then attach some kind of motor to automatically pull back the dowel and release it, you could make an automatic close-range sidearm or primary for indoor wars.

In my own defense, spelling and grammar are accepted as things to be correct about on these forums. (Your remarks are borderline hypocritical, as CH pointed out, badger.) I also don't know if your arguement is accurate, seeing as he has been here since September of last year.If you have a problem with the posting habits of a new member, instead of flaming him in the forum, maybe you could send him a polite PM showing him what he is doing wrong and informing him of how things are done around here.
However, I will admit that I was a little too harsh with my reply. You could argue that he has been here long enough to know how to post, or that most of us are not admins (which I am aware of). Even so, I doubt that any one of you (with the exception of those with extreme patience) would have done anything differently than I did, and seeing how you didn't have the opportunity, you can't prove that you wouldn't have, and I can't prove that you would have. This will be the last controversial remark that I make in this thread, and, for your own benefit, I suggest that others follow suit.

Possibly, but I would stick with brass. It has been proven in boltsniper's guns, and since my shotty is based heavily on boltsniper systems, I would personally only trust brass. PETG can be tricky to house because of the difference in ID and OD, while brass is thin, strong, and easily housed.HEAR HEAR. He was an asshat and a baby.

Well, the gun does have potential, but to turn it into a practical weapon for most wars, you would need some heavy modifications. There are some nice features, such as the ROF adjustment and the fact that the thing holds twenty darts, but loading and accuracy are major issues.Uhg, I hate this gun. Through-out the years, I have purchased it countless times, and every time the barrel stopped turning within a day of purchasing the gun.

However, the design and operation are identical to that of a shotgun, and that's what I'm going to call it. Unless you have a contribution to make that will help these guns get built, please do not respond in my thread again to make room for other developments.Even though I'm a noob here, I'm a gamer, and this is really irritating to me too, you people need to understand that shotguns fire SHOT, which is a bunch of projectiles at once, please try to understand that.

But the inertia would be moving in the opposite direction. The spring will be pushing the base towards the ceiling.
The fact that the lid and base won't go flying apart is why the mine would come down. Even though the lid will be stopped, the energy that the spring gave it while pushing down will continue to carry the entire module down, and most likely rip apart the adhesive's bond, peeling the paint from the ceiling and leaving residue behind, not to mention posing a threat to anyone directly below the mine.Not the lid. When CS makes it so that the base and lid don't come apart when it explodes, he could do that but the sticky stuff might not work on most ceilings (popcorn).

One problem. How do you get it down? With an adhesive that is weak enough to take down, the inertia of the top of the mine flying downwards will bring the entire mine towards the floor and could hit someone in the head. It would have been a good idea, though.How about making it sticky on the base and sticking in on the ceiling so then the darts rain down?

Since nobody currently knows the answer to this problem, my Mk. 1 variant will be bolt-action. If it is successful and I figure out the answer to this question, then I will make a pump-action Mk. 2 variant.SHA, I have no idea how to solve a rotating bolt issue, though I'd assume you could just use Bolt's design in the shotgun shell. Really all that would need to be different is the loading mechanism (Again, where I'm having trouble. It would probably work if I switched to a clip shotgun.).

You have to figure out exactly how to get the most out of the force the frisbee has when it unfolds.I have literally spent an hour trying to get these working last night after I posted and don't see how this thing can propell darts 25'+....
I also do not think that these mines, although effective in design, are feasible for anyone to mass-produce. The CDs and springs would add costs that would skyrocket prices for consumers, plus it wouldn't be pleasant for the person shelling out the money to buy the supplies in the first place.

It's been done in the mods section.Straying a little off topic here, what about a clip system for the Titan? It would lower the ranges while increasing the RoF.
As for the topic, ban whatever you have to. Your job as the organizer of the war is to ensure others' safety. The last thing you want is someone getting hurt, and the second-to-last thing is someone bitching about why you didn't do something to keep everyone happy. If someone wants to bring a superweapon to a nerf war (I.e. Titans, Singy, heavily-modded pump guns...), then they can. Just let them know it's going to be a showpiece and not get fired. Sure they're going to start arguing, but it's better them than you or someone more mature.

Also, lubricate the pin, so that the bands slide off easier, as a metal or plastic pins with rubber will have a high coefficient of friction.
I was about to post something along those lines, but you would need a really good lubricant to overcome the tension of the rubber band. Also be careful not to use anything that eats rubber.

Perhaps I can help explain, if I understand this right. The posts on the ends of the tube are for securing the ends of the rubber bands. The pin is placed through a hole in the center, and passes through all of the rubber bands while they are pulled back, keeping them taut. When the pin is pulled, the rubber bands are released and propel the darts into unsuspecting morons.
If this is the system that you are using, then wouldn't the grenade be a bitch to load and set? You would have to wedge your fingers into the tube and try to line up each rubber band perfectly, which is more trouble that it's worth. Of course, you could make use-and-trash grenades from a toilet paper roll and duct tape, so that there's no time wasted in resetting or reloading.

The point of nerf is not to bludgeon your enemy into submission, but to peg them in the ass with foam darts from a distance. Barrel taps would be the closest thing to this (besides nerf knives, but those are not widely used to my knowledge). Either way, nice article, Langley.I read the article on your link, it looks...interesting. You should try to incorporate some moves and weapons into nerf, such as melee and charging your opponent.

No. The ones in my state only carry copper and a very limited selection of small-sized PVC. I also like the idea of having all of the brass cut to length before I get it, which eliminates a lot of the hassle on my part.Home Depot, Home Hardware, J&H and Lowe's all should have it.

For target practice, lasers are fine, since there is a low risk for any possible eye damage (unless you're shooting at a mirror or a sibling). However, I prefer to practice without a laser because it forces you to take into account the distance and fall of the dart, and therefore learn the capacities of your weapons. Plus, accurate shots need to be able to be placed effectively without aid, at least in my understanding of practice.

This is why there are the gifts of video games and nerf.it always gets boring when one doesn't work.
Anyway, for a semi-automatic Longshot, the gun would need some radical modification. The plunger tube might need to be scrapped, unless the air bursts are to propel the plunger. The magazine system would need complete redesigning, since friction with the other darts and the open venting space in and around the magazine would negate any firings. (Unless someone knows how a bolt could be used here). The barrel would also need to be scrapped, since the excess space around the dart would only decrease the range further, and a snug barrel would most likely prevent any darts from being able to leave the gun. This is probably not an effective and definitely not a practical modification, but on the other hand, a semi-auto nerf gun would be cool to mess around with.

Ah, the dream of a semi-auto nerf rifle. It is feasible, since gas-operated systems (for those of you who know how Magstrikes work, you know what I'm talking about) can be used to make semi-automatic or fully automatic guns. However, it would be difficult to do this kind of modification to a Longshot, since semi-automatic guns have relatively low power, short plunger strokes, and a magazine system that does not use a bolt to move the darts. If I figure out any systems, I'll share the ideas, but I doubt that it would be a very practical modification. (Time to charge the air tanks, extra weight, extra equipment / bulk, issues with range...)Would it be feasible/possible to make the Longshot semi-auto? I was trying to figure out how it may work, but I wasn't quite sure. I figured I'd ask some of the more experienced modders around here before trying anything though.

I would like to point out to anyone who is using lasers that placing the laser beneath the barrel and not angling it upwards is the most accurate way to use a laser sight, since the lower position of the laser will help compensate for some of the fall of the dart during flight. I still don't recommend lasers, though.
