Like raw shrimp, I got the blue SM3K at a young age. I later got a 1st edition nf, and an sspb. I was given an at2k as a gift.
I threw it out. Not being a modder yet, I thought it was broken.
For the next five years, I didn't touch nerf.
Over this past year, nerf has taken me back by storm. I've spent over $700 on blasters, and another ~$100 on homemades. Wallet diddle.
I <3 nerf so much now. If I'm away from a blaster for more than a few weeks, I go into 'withdrawl.'
I need another fucking hobby.

I just hooked up 3 machines, one of them being an AMD 5600+ with 3 gigs of RAM. In the first two minutes, it powered through 4/500 parts. It's been working on that 5th for over an hour now. One of the older computers is on 4/150 right now. I shouldn't have installed the graphical.
I'm getting another 2 machines on it tomorrow, I believe.
I'm interested to see where this will go.

#139746 Disk Shot Vs Nite Finder?

General Nerf
INTERNALS
Internally, they're the exact same, except for a different spring.
POCKETING
Neither of them are easily pocketed unless cut down. Some think a cutdown NF looks like a luger.
A cut down Disk shot, if you ask me, looks kind of like a raptor. Here are my two for comparison.
RANGE
It may be my mod, but I can squeze about 5 feet more out of my DS than my NF (72 vs. 78). Personally, I think that my DS's seal is probably just a bit better.
GIMMICKS/WEAKNESSES
The nitefinder's laser is only good to about 25 feet, if that. Less in sunlight. A diskshot has that bulky ammo holder, but like I said, you can just minimize both of them.
PRICE
A NF is $8. The main DS is $25 on clearance, while the expansion is $12.
There's my two cents.
I think I'll clean up that cut on the disk shot today.

It does seem close, but it really isn't. It must be a trick of the camera.
The blaster is easier to draw than holster, obviously, but not by much. After a 90 degree twist of the Lock 'N Load by the mouth of the holster, it just slides in.

Sorry for double posting, but I'd rather revive this than a two year old thread.
Those who use NerfMonkey's holster method, vinyl works wonderfully. It'll stretch a bit to allow for a Lock 'N Load to enter.
As for the clip, I stitched it on and then glued it in place. It isn't coming off for a while.

I did read that, although I am positive this is more air than there is supposed to be.
Angel-

2. No.
3. I'm nearly positive I am.
4. I pump it real quick, but stop before the thing blows.
5. In the pump? Yeah.
6. My darts are custom tailored for the cpvc I'm using. There's enough friction to stay in the barrel, but not to slide out. It's in the middle, but on the loose side.
7. One part is tied around the vinyl tubing. Where does the other half go?
8. I carefully checked to see that they were fine.
9. I'm sorry, huh?
10. Yes.

I bought a lightning blitz a few months ago on Ebay, and thought it was a great little novelty blaster.
As I mod blasters, the first thing I do with the shell off it cock/prime, and fire it empty (only while spring guns are stock do I do this). I didn't make an exception here. Only problem is that more air leaks out the air tank's pin valve than out the barrels.
I didn't really think it was an issue at first. With AR's, it got 10 feet. I thought that was just stock range. After modding, however, I still only get 10 feet. I don't want to fiddle with it haphazardly in fear of making it worse.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm not going to make a write-up until the blaster itself actually works.
Oh, and no pictures, because it's no different in looks than any other Lightning Blitz.
EDIT: Sorry, guys, I had 3 tabs open, and I thought I'd posted this in mods.

I'm curious though; why did you dremel down the lip that the slide used to rest in? Also, didn't you tell us it's a bad idea to glue the plunger-tube down?
Lastly, Why did the spring replacement and seal improvement only wield 10 feet over my mod? It seems like it should be more, doesn't it?

At the UMD war, I bought a Lock 'N Load from Badger.
Just telling you now, I had already modded it before I realized that there wasn't a write-up like this. Therefore, there aren't as many pictures as I'd like.
I'm sure this has probably been done before.
Also, I'm sorry some of my pictures are huge. Even when I resize them in photobucket, my pictures show up huge here. Edit: The large pictures have been fixed
Materials needed:
Lock 'N Load
Screwdriver
3-4" of ½" cpvc piping
½" cpvc coupler
Hot glue, Epoxy, Etc.
Duct/Electrical tape
Dremel/Hacksaw
Pen spring
Key ring
Here is a picture of a stock Lock 'N Load. Thanks to Orange for letting me use it.
Start taking it apart. There are 3 screws on the slider, 7 screws on the left shell half, and 1 on the right half.
Thanks to NerfMonkey for letting me use his picture of the trigger-catch setup. If stuff flies out, this is how it goes back in.
Take out the plunger tube. This is the part of the mod where we need to cut. On the plunger tube, there are two rings that go over the screw shafts, holding it in place. Cut a centimeter in front of the rear one.
From here, you can get to the air restrictor. I just knocked mine out with a screwdriver. Easy to do, because the AR is connected thinly at only three points, and one of them actually broke as I was sawing.
Now, take your cpvc coupler. Go ahead and stick your 3 or 4 inch barrel in one side. Glue the other side to the end of the plunger tube. Quickly put the plunger tube in the blaster's case and close it. This way, by looking down the seam, you can make sure the coupler dries straight.
One you are satisfied, and the glue is dry, whip out your tape. I used 2 strips. 1 was horizontally put from one side of the screw brace to the other. The second, shorter piece was put vertically (pointed toward the barrel) making sure that the first piece won't come off. Mine just happens to be green.
Lastly, my trigger wouldn't come back all the way after I pulled it, so I replaced the flimsy little spring with my pen spring. This isn't necessary, but it was pissing me off.
That's really all we do. The original plunger head is more air efficient than those currently on the market. We could put in a new spring, but I'm not sure how much this blaster can take; and I don't think I'll be able to find another.
Close up the blaster, making sure everything is in the correct place. The catch should go in with the slanted side facing forward. Remember, the only screw on the right shell half, and the one opposite on the left half, will no longer go in. Once your blaster is closed up, glue a key ring into the notch in the plunger shaft.
The final thing I did was to add cpvc rings to the grooves that megas would fit into in the ammo holders. It fit perfectly. When I eventually make a holster, they'll have to come off, but until then they're a charm.
Voila! We now have a Lock 'N Load with a replaceable barrel!
RANGES-
I am 5'6", all shots are taken from shoulder level, and I have a big head, so about 4'5". Dart skip was about 5 feet. I had a friend tell me as close as possible where it originally hit the ground.
Shot 1: 49ft, 6in
Shot 2:47ft, 9in
Shot 3: 51ft, 2in
Shot 4: 47ft, 10in
Shot 5: 45ft, 5in
Pretty good, for not even using a single band.

I think Squishy did really well for his first major war. There was too much idle time between rounds, though. (Up to 45 minutes!)
This was a great place to play, even though we only used 3 floors. I hope to come back very soon.
And we got lost on the way home ending up in the ghetto.

It doesn't seem like a too bad idea, but I saw something else by wild planet that they made similar to this. It's a laser trip wire that when you walk into the beam, a dart blaster thing that you can hide anywhere in the room will shoot the victim. I can't remember where I saw this, but it's a thought. Hope this helps.
I believe you're thinking of this.
It's a fun toy, but those are also just spring powered plastic darts.

I'm not sure, but I personally think...
We not include a stefan guide, per say, but simply include a quick definition in one of the main articles. For exampe- 'We fire stefans, or homemade darts make of of caulk saver, as they fly farther, and truer than stock darts.'
Same thing with active nerfers. Sure, it'd be great to give the veterans some more recognition, and we should throw in names somewhere, but not a section devoted to them. Perhaps in a "Brief History of Nerfing" portion, we could name the main legends of each coast that have made some great achievements (Groove flying out to 'Geddon 4 times).
Acronyms, again, maybe in a "Quick Knowledge" side box, but not as part of the article, I don't think.
Although, I haven't read a make magazine. If, typically, there are topics like that, then go right ahead!
I just think the above may seem to make the article look less beefy than it is, and get us a better chance of getting in. We have to remember that most articles are totally restricted somewhere between two and three pages.
Lastly, make absolute sure your grammar, spelling, and punctuation are correct before sending it in. No offense, I just mean that we don't want to come off like a bunch of illiterate morons.

Although, I haven't read a make magazine. If, typically, there are topics like that, then go right ahead!
I just think the above may seem to make the article look less beefy than it is, and get us a better chance of getting in. We have to remember that most articles are totally restricted somewhere between two and three pages.
Lastly, make absolute sure your grammar, spelling, and punctuation are correct before sending it in. No offense, I just mean that we don't want to come off like a bunch of illiterate morons.

Let's think here. Could he possibly be referring to the original poster?

Why would you need to cheat? You can access credits anytime because the producers are always so egotistical.
EDIT: The first applies to part B, and the second applies to part 1.
Also, how did you accidentally go from numbers to the alphabet? That's like saying A, B, C, 42, 284, K...

I believe this was posted twice already, and it should be in the 'Nerf in Popular Culture' thread.
Please, before you post about a popular game, go over the first two or three pages of the General and see if it's posted yet.
And, as I don't believe I've said it yet, welcome to the Haven.

Guys, only puncture the membrane to do an expansion. If you just want to put the glue on, lift the membrane out completely.
EDIT: Punctuation error.

I'm not positive about this, but take your plunger tube to the hardware store. Find an appropriate size endcap (I believe about a PVC 1/2"). Epoxy it on. Drill a hole and glue on a barrel. Dremel the shell to allow for the new obstruction.

For the goo gauge, either do Cx's mod, or just drill a hole in the top of the gauge to drain it.
Unless, you want to act on the airtank expansion theory. Cx, however, proved that it had no impact on range.
EDIT: Oh, right. What I did was open the gauge like Cxwq, drain the goo, but then I filled that whole cavity at the end of the gauge with hot glue. After filling it up to the small lip, the pressure an at2k takes can NOT blow it out.

Just to note, you didn't have to trim the clip. On my longshot, I did Inventor guy's mod with cpvc, and a new spring. Once you trim the bolt back, the clip has room to spare.
#134234 Whats So Good About The Crossbow?

I've never seen a longshot that is reliable approach crossbow range.
Mine does.
Although, I have to breach load, so it's still a single shot.
As for the crossbow, other than comfort, accuracy, and reliability, it's simply a legend. You can't get any clearer. Part of it's status is that it was the first primary with a trigger. Part of it is that so many nerfing legends have them, and use them regularly.
You see it all the time at my middle school. One of the populars does something, and everyone else wants to, to try and be more popular. We see all of the popular, veteran nerfers wielding X-bows, and we want one too.

I took a random pen spring (from the kind of pen that clicks open), compressed it against the catch-socket to measure, and cut it. To cut mine, I bent the amount I'd be cutting off 90 degrees. I then took a lighter, and lit the spring's elbow until red hot, then stuck it under water. After doing this multiple times, the metal weakens. Just cut it with kitchen scissors.
note: While holding the spring and lighting it may seem stupid, it really doesn't get hot anywhere other than where it's being burned.
