#275497 Cpvc Doomsayer

Posted by hawkshot on 21 May 2010 - 06:15 PM in Modifications

Great mod and paintjob. Kudos.

Where can styrene(sp) be purchased, and if it is unavailable is there any alternative for the application?



#275220 Official Steam/pc Gaming Thread

Posted by hawkshot on 18 May 2010 - 07:17 PM in Off Topic

Steam for mac! Woot!

I only have Portal right now...I believe you can find me by typing in Hawksh0t.



#275188 Nj Apocalypse 2010

Posted by hawkshot on 18 May 2010 - 03:52 PM in Nerf Wars

I'm an extremely slim maybe. My percentage of being able to go will probably be getting higher over the summer though.



#274507 Deploy At2k Integration**modular Baby!**

Posted by hawkshot on 11 May 2010 - 05:27 AM in Modifications

Advantage of nerfing with Rogue: Getting to see the newest in longshot modifications and deploy awesomeness.

Disadvantage: Getting shot with said blasters.


Great job Rogue, can't wait for the paintjob.



#274129 The Overkill: This Is What Happens When A Titan And A Longshot Have Ch

Posted by hawkshot on 05 May 2010 - 08:38 PM in Modifications

HOLY SHIT! I WANT THIS LONGSHOT! Will you make me one? Please? I'll pay you with my soul!


This gun is INCREDIBLE! Pumping the titan looks so easy, and that paintjob is AMAZING! I mean, it's so great I bet Direct Threat would be jealous!



#273203 Cfnf #3

Posted by hawkshot on 24 April 2010 - 06:56 PM in Nerf Wars

Recap:

-Two Deploy "triple kills" in first hour
-Rogue eating souls with the Deploy
-Pizza Rev2: now with 3 different kinds of pizza, and drinks!
-12 people at maximum?
-Seeing some new nerfers
-Sold my stock big blast
-Hydration pack=awesomeness
-Okay, Pinz broke his 4b in the first round. So, being the nice guy I am, I let him use my SGSL. Around 1:45 he runs up to me with the SGSL. The PUMP SHAFT DISCONNECTED FROM THE PUMP HEAD. WTF. So, we both sat out for a round, and after struggling to retrieve the pump head from the pump tube, we superglued the sh!t out of it, and he used it for the rest of the day.
-Alright guys, Rogue's reinforcement definitely aren't working. Pssh. He used that thing all day, and it kept on going.
-Finishing modding my Man cannon in time to use at the war. The plunger tube to turret seal is so good the rotation doesn't function.
-Having JUST enough darts.
-Sore and tired

And more as I remember.



#273027 Cfnf #4......summer Fl Nerfing At It's Best!

Posted by hawkshot on 22 April 2010 - 07:54 PM in Nerf Wars

I'm there, rain or shine.



#272103 My 2010 Hiatus

Posted by hawkshot on 13 April 2010 - 04:05 PM in Off Topic

That's pretty scary man. Over the summer I had a health scare, where I literally thought I wasn't going to live. It was originally thought to be an unseen case of mono after seeing the doctor, but it turned out to be strep throat (and I have asthma), so I as well was on your schedule for 2 and a half weeks. It sucked, and I can't imagine what you're going through.

Hope your recovery goes smoothly, and hope to see you back in full force; maybe at some wars in Florida?



#271964 Modification and Paintjob Pictures

Posted by hawkshot on 11 April 2010 - 08:31 PM in Modifications

Finished contract for Rogue.

Meet: the new and improved RogueFinder.

Posted Image
Draw extension, INSANE padding(pic below), very strong catch spring to hold a beastly spring, ziptie keeps the top of the gun held together, bottom dremeled out in preparation for an integration.
Posted Image
I decided to keep the original spring that was in it before the draw extension, but due to the draw extension the spring would hit full compression, which severely weakens the spring. Therefore, the massive padding. It also serves as a cushion from impact and silences the blaster!

With a 5 inch CPVC barrel and single BB stefans(1/5''), it hits cardboard from 20 feet away very hard. My guess is roughly 70 feet.

#271088 Xbox Live Recreational Community House ---

Posted by hawkshot on 02 April 2010 - 01:13 PM in Off Topic

Anyone pick up Bad Company 2 yet? It looks pretty awesome. Wanted to get some real people reactions to it.

I had the original which doesn't look much different than the sequel, and it was very fun. Way more team oriented than a game such as MW2.

Oh yeah, aside from that I'm a MW2 fanatic.

This video is so awesome I'm speechless.



#267460 Cfno: Now Recapping!

Posted by hawkshot on 01 March 2010 - 06:57 AM in Nerf Wars

Recap:

+ Chaos Nerfer and his dad showing up: they're on vacation down here!
+ Good sportsmanship
+ Capture the flag rounds were awesome
+ Stock rounds were very fun
+ Even with a stock titan, Rogue is a force to be reckoned with...all in all the wildcard rounds were fun
+ I was amazed Rogue had enough darts for him and myself.
+ Chaos Nerfer's dad was very cool, and really did great
+ The rain stopped, about halfway through
+ No drama! Great job guys!
+ UN320 making a step up in the respect ladder
+ NRATs represented! And Rogue handed out NR stickers
+ PIZZA! My parents are awesome.
+ My guests made it for the first hour and a half! Hopefully they come next war...
+ I got some great shots in.......and was shot a fair amount of times in return----Good stuff!
- VERY cold. Most of the day I couldn't feel my fingers
- TOO MANY SHOTS IN THE FACE. One in the lip and another in the cheek. Seriously people?
+ Doing business with my fellow Floridians
+ Everyone came prepared, thanks guys!
- Many last minute drop-outs
- Rogue will metaphorically twist someone's ankle because Hobo didn't come
+ Hydration pack!
+ Rogue let me use the drum clip AND his black 2k LS....very awesome
+ Optimus still being Ol' Reliable, but it's getting a sick nasty upgrade...watch out.
+ Holster not failing on me, and actually carried around a loaded LNL with me for the last rounds! Don't think I shot anyone with it though.
- I don't know why, but Rogue's LSes were the only guns that actually made me feel pain. He shot me in the chest with his black LS from 35 feet away, and with 2 jackets on I have a humongous bruise. I sat out the rest of that round in pain.



#267019 Cfno: Now Recapping!

Posted by hawkshot on 26 February 2010 - 11:53 AM in Nerf Wars

Bump. 1 day until war.



#267018 Koree's Urukai Crossbow Breach

Posted by hawkshot on 26 February 2010 - 11:41 AM in Modifications

So the breech itself moves? Very cool, good job.



#267017 My Ls Brass Breech Version

Posted by hawkshot on 26 February 2010 - 11:36 AM in Modifications

I believe Coop has made several 17/32 angel breeches.


Nice breech. Very clean. I like the pen cap idea.



#266002 Berserker Problems

Posted by hawkshot on 19 February 2010 - 03:35 PM in Modifications

There is a screw hidden behind the sticker.

EDIT: Goddamnit, same time post....



#265326 The Tornadobow

Posted by hawkshot on 14 February 2010 - 09:49 AM in Homemades

This is probably one of the coolest things I've seen since I started nerfing a year and a half ago.



#265138 Cfno: Now Recapping!

Posted by hawkshot on 12 February 2010 - 10:05 AM in Nerf Wars

Bump.

Alright guys, I NEED everyone to sound off...15 days until the war. I might find some time to make some stefans, but I might not be making much, only somewhere around 200 or so. If you've never seen my stefans, I make REALLY nice ones. Prices will be 10 dollars for each pack of 50. They are/will be 1.5'' Ace foam, with 3/0 fishing weights and colored hot glue.

Viva la CFNO.



#264791 Cfnf #3

Posted by hawkshot on 09 February 2010 - 08:18 AM in Nerf Wars

Seriously? Monthly?

I'm pretty sure I can come...but next war better be in the summer. I'm on war-overload.

I'm curious to see who has the copyright to the SDL.

EDIT: Disregard, wrong thread.



#263089 Break Barrel Ss2

Posted by hawkshot on 25 January 2010 - 07:19 AM in Modifications

Awesome, a break action SS2. Great mod, if I had that black piece with the spring right now I would already be done.

And for posterity: if you accidentally opened your secret barrel(the torsion spring) do not fret. What you do is line up one of the endings of the spring on the shell with the indent, and flip the secret barrel down, and line up the other end of the torsion spring with the indent on the secret barrel. Flip the secret barrel back up, holding onto the area where the torsion spring is, and screw it back together. Voila.



#263087 Template Directory

Posted by hawkshot on 25 January 2010 - 06:16 AM in Modifications

This is cool and all, but what would they be used for?

To help a painter so he knows what his gun will look like prior to painting.



#263013 Guide To Barrel Material

Posted by hawkshot on 24 January 2010 - 07:30 PM in Modifications

I am re-barreling some guns with 17/32 brass.
1. How long should a longshot's barrel be?
2. How long should a recon's barrel be?
3. How long should a raider's barrel be?


1. Usually with a spring upgrade Longshots can handle a 12 inch barrel.
2. Recons are so weak that if you try to brass breech one it won't turn out well.
3. I believe Zorn's Lemma's brassed Raider contract had the barrel the same length as the original barrel. I would recommend checking with him first, though.



#262650 Replaced Plunger Tube Disc Shot...

Posted by hawkshot on 21 January 2010 - 09:02 PM in Modifications

After you goop in the bushing make sure to drill a hole through the plunger tube and bushing, and then thread a bolt through and goop the bolt in, so no air escapes.



#262625 Cfno: Now Recapping!

Posted by hawkshot on 21 January 2010 - 06:20 PM in Nerf Wars

Bump, attendee list updated.

I would really like to see some Georgians/people living in other states other than Florida at this war.



#262347 Cfno: Now Recapping!

Posted by hawkshot on 19 January 2010 - 07:28 AM in Nerf Wars

When: February 27th, 2009 10:00 am - Everyone gets tired

Where: Freedom Park
Gotha, FL

The real address is 351 Thornebrooke Drive, Ocoee FL.

Who's Attending:(Current Attendance count 8)
Myself
Pinz321
NerfRogue83+1
Psyco+2(NR)
Hobo(NR)
Lord Sirrus(NR)

Maybes:
ultimatenerf320
semperfilongshot +1

Here's what to bring:
- A few guns; at least one primary and at least one *spring* pistol.
- Ammo, and a fair amount of it. If you forget you'll have to beg or buy some
- Eye Protection, you don't bring any, you can't play
- LUNCH AND DRINKS
- The only shields that will be permitted are Manta Rays and Crossfire Shields
- The ONLY melee weapons allowed are Nerf Brand Melee weapons, end of discussion

Here's what you shouldn't bring:
- The same rules apply here as they have in the past. If you don't know by now check the other threads or PM me.

We'll play a bunch of different games throughout the day:
- Team Deathmatch (2 and 3 teams)
- CTF
- Free for All
- Defend the Core
- Wingman

Other Rules:
- Barrel Tapping is allowed however, your gun MUST be locked and loaded to tap, accompanied by saying, "Hit". I consider tapping a courtesy instead of shooting someone point blank with a powerful primary.
- A few wars I've been to has had people testing weapons by firing them at someone...If you're caught doing it I'll personally make sure you know it was a big mistake.
- Don't be a d-bag. We've had problems before with this, and if you don't follow this rule you're subject to being asked to leave.
- Do not call hits while the dart is mid-air. Say "Hit!" when you see the dart hit the person.
- Don't be negative.
- Please get there at 10. Let me know ahead of time if you live far away and traffic might change your arrival time.
- Treat sword kills like a barrel tap. Someone last war got some welts because someone else was hitting them like it was a baseball bat. Hit someone gently, and we won't have any problems.
- NO HOMEMADE AIRGUNS.
- If a gun is too powerful I have the right to spot-ban it
- No deathdarts.
- DARTS MUST BE A WEIGHTED WITH A SINGLE BB, SLUG STYLE, or 3/0 FISHING WEIGHT.
- All darts and guns will be inspected thoroughly, no jutting out spikes on guns---use your head guys, and remember that these are toys--lets keep it that way!
- Do NOT bring anything painted all black. We REALLY don't want the cops called for someones stupidity!


Questions? Comments? Post in the thread, if it's of a personal matter PM me.



#262241 Winter Seno: The Squeakquel

I would love to come,but my war's on the same day. Have a good time guys.



#262078 Longstrike Cs-6 Revealed

Posted by hawkshot on 16 January 2010 - 09:07 PM in General Nerf

The more that I think about it, I think that if the NIC decides to not buy anymore reverse plunger guns, Hasbro might start to lose money they could get from the NIC and people that are friends with people in the NIC and could switch to regular plungers. Even though it'll cost them more to make it, we'll start buying them.



#262070 Cfnf #2 **central Florida Nerf Fest**

Posted by hawkshot on 16 January 2010 - 08:40 PM in Nerf Wars

Okay, highlights. Some of this has been copied from Rogue's.

+LS/AT10k pwns
+Stormfinders pwn, especially the original
+Optimus Primary is for sure my new primary.
-Hobo's younger brother stepping on my NEW 3k contract, and now the shell's cracked... Ryan, expect a PM soon.
+Good turnout....9 able-bodied Nerfers
+For the most part, some great sportsmanship
+Several good trades between members....people getting Guns/material for new projects
+Medic and VIP rounds were made of Awesome
+Intense Portable's action
+Pinz's parents bought Gatorade, cups and subs for us.
~I'm jealous of Rogue's stef drum.
+Okay, I know you guys were scared of Optimus, but now just think what you'll be feeling like when there's a AT10k under it. Dun dun dun!
-Lot's of Rogue's guns broke, including the RogueShot. Thank god it was nothing serious, and the RogueShot lives to see another day. But his Recon/3k thing is now in the hands of UF320...I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
+Optimus shoots laser straight, got some crazy kills, and took some.
+Bruce the shark is great with a NF. He had 7 speedloaders with him.
+Rogue says I'm becoming a very good Nerfer!
+Hobo, also with a Overhauled 3k, holding his own. You just need to focus on your ROF and aiming and I'll be really scared
+The PAS Pinz and I worked on at the Mod Party actually did quite well, for the times it was catching. Imagine if you were the PAS, with 3 springs and you, the trigger, had no reinforcement or springs.
+Rogue's guest was very cool.
+Soggy did pretty well
+Dang, no pizza this war. The subs were great though.
+First time I've ever drank Monster

And many more.

I'll be editing this as I remember things.



#262048 Angel Breeched Spring Replacement

Posted by hawkshot on 16 January 2010 - 05:32 PM in Modifications

He just told you to lube the plunger head and you just asked (Don't sig) what to lube in the gun. Wow. Well, yes. Silicone grease is one of the best lubricants for nerf guns out there, next to the the spray and lithium.

Seriously, if you can find a spring with around the same power as the LS, put it in there. Popular springs are:

RFSG
BBB
[k25]
[k26]

And why the hell do you have to make a help thread for every little thing?



#262045 Official "show-off Your Crossbow" Thread

Name: The Blue Monster
Mods Done: Level 4?. Bolts behind spring rests, sheet metal in front of the spring rest, plunger rod reinforced. BnA spring. Plunger tube made by Split, and gives an almost perfect seal. Catch spring addition/replacement.
Integrations: N/A, but that's changing soon
Comments: Name is a spinoff of Ryan McNumber's green xbow, on page 2 of this thread. The pictures were taken by Merzlin after he finished painting it, but it still looks the same.

The ranges are horrible, and I have no clue what's wrong, so I'll be buying homemade internals from Draconis soon.

Wow, that war was great. I'll post my highlights soon.
