Perhaps it just sounded good and foam-y.
Tylenol doesn't mean anything. Neither does Pepsi. Brand names don't have to have any sort of etymology or meaning.

'Nerf' means nerve in French.I've seen french movie titles with the word nerf in it and buffy also known as nerf herder. But I really have no clue what it means.

The hallway in my dorm has tiles that are exactly one foot square. I count tiles, then use a ruler. I also try to make sure I fire from the same level every time, measured against the cinderblocks of the wall, and measure from the point in the floor the muzzle is over.

NO. You absolutely do not do that, becasue that is how people get to thinking that their NF gets 80' and they saw a Crossbow shoot 200'.You eyeball by experience.

To add to what Thirst said:
Chores, get a tape measure. No more estimating. Also make sure the blaster is level when you shoot.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize that you had PERSONALLY SEEN IT. That changes everything, because nobody exaggerates on the Internet. No sir.You sir are a fucking idiot.
You sir, are full of shit.I personally have SEEN a crossbow go a legit 200ft. It even dented drywall from 15ft.
I've SEEN IT. That number may be 15-5 ft off but i know what i see.
Besides that, I know you so well, I should know to take you at your word. I mean, we've been best buddies for years, right?
Nobody's word is worth anything on the Internet without proof, sir. I would take people like cx at their word, because he is rational, measures his results, and is not interested in making himself look good as much as he is interested in reporting accurate info.
I would not take people like you (and you aren't the only one, there are several others, some have names with 'nightmare' in them) at their word because they make ridiculous claims, then back them up with "I SAID IT SO IT'S TRUE".

And you also get a slide that breaks if you cock it with any sort of speed, which, if I'm not mistaken, is the only point of having a semiauto blaster.What the hell? It's a pistol for christ sakes! What do you want crossbow ranges? You get six shots, pretty much semi auto for nerf standards at 40 feet, what the hell is the problem?
Please stop bitching and work on making the guns not suck. Unless you plan on contributing to the crappy situation, don't complain.
And as for contributing: do you want him to go work at Hasbro and design them? He isn't saying mods suck, he's saying the potential of the newer blasters is lower, and it's true.

Between the Titan and the Crossbow—if that's truly the issue—I think they equalize.
Scenario time.
Guy with a primed Titan and guy with a cocked Crossbow start at opposite ends of a football field. They rush each other. At his 35 yard line, Titan fires at Crossbow.
Say he misses 50% of the time at that range, which he likely will. Crossbow now has about 30 seconds and all kinds of space before Titan can get off another shot, during which Crossbow gets within about 20 yards (to stay out of sidearm range) and nails Titan.
So.
The Titan is a weapon that lets you shoot one person a zillion feet away twice a minute, but hit them about 50% of the time at that range.
The Crossbow is a weapon that lets you hit shoot person about fifty feet away, six times a minute if you're good, and nail them 100% of the time unless you make bad darts or can't shoot.
They both have uses, but I will side with the Crossbow and say it's more versatile.
And I will absolutely ban Titans from any and all indoor wars, unless it's shooting the giant ballista ammo.

I'd like to compile an authoritative, central reference on all types of Nerf ammo produced, to help the new kids identify their ammo types and just for general knowledge. There are several sites out there that have ammo references, but they all are either missing a few things or have very low-quality pictures or graphics.
EDIT Thu 03 Mar
Pictures I still need:
Sonic Stinger 11" arrow
original blue/yellow 11" arrow
black/pink 11" arrow
sonic tip 9" arrow
any micros or megas you think I've missed
Balls: yellow
Thanks in advance for any help on this you guys can give me, and I welcome corrections/additions to this list and pictures of things I didn't mention.

How did you attach them? Glue most likely won't cut it, you'll have to use screws or pins of some sort.We have tried the bar thing, but it kept on breaking. We also tried a bar on the "trigger", but it broke off too. We may try again though. Thanks for teh suggestions.

You don't have to know them to know they contributed to/influenced the NIC. What Stefan or you or CX or whoever are like in person has little to do with the fact that I know how to make cheap homemade darts, use brass effectively and, uh...make a bigass Crossbow integration.

MoFi's CDs, as previously stated, are 16-bit, becasue if they were not, they would A not meet the CDDA standard (which may or may not be lumped into ISO 9660), and so not play in any CD player on earth, and B hold only 40-50 minutes of audio, which is kinda impractical.Sorry to double post, but does anyone know what bit the new Mobile Fidelity gold CD's are? Are they 16-bit or 24-bit?
MoFi's CDs only sound better in a better CD player that has an accurate enough timebase, precise enough disc transport, and quick enough DAC to read and paly every frame. CD players are time-priority rather than accuracy-priority drives, meaning they're more concerned with getting the audio out the door than getting it perfect, and will throw away frames to allow this. So, when you play a CD in a player that cost you less than ~$1000, you're only hearing 95% or so of all the audio on the disc, which is again not capturing the whole audio waveform because of the nature of PCM digital audio encoding. In this area, vinyl still and possibly always will triumph, because barring skips and pops (which aren't hard to avoid if you take care of your vinyl), they reproduce 100% of the audio that was put on them in the first place.
Talio: the data on CDs is not compressed in any way. It's full-bandwidth 16/44.1k PCM.

Also, be aware that 3DBBQ's designs require something like 7 pumps per shot and don't always work. By 'not always', I mean they misfire when you're rushing someone, or need to return fire quickly.

There are nearly always people protesting in front of Parliament. They don't have the freedoms of expression in the UK that we do, so they go right to the heart of things when they express what freedom they have.I should post up the picture Julie took last week in London of the Iraq protest signs outside their parliament building. Most people there hate Bush and they're our strongest allies.

24-bit mastered CDs are still pressed 16-bit. Since it's a digital conversion, every ounce of extra fidelity from the 24-bit master is removed with surgical precision.True, but what about the new 24-bit masters I've heard of?The 2^16 waveforms possible in 16-bit digital recording are insufficient to describe music perfectly.
Personally, the best CD's I've ever heard are Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab tapes sourced from virgin vinyl and put onto CD.
And as for MoFi CDs, those are off original master tapes, not vinyl. And MoFi vinyl sounds even better than that; I have the MoFi copy of Dark Side of the Moon, and it's absolutely flawless.

True. Vestax and Numark both make portables, and Numark's is small enough to fit in a record box.
I prefer vinyl for the superior sound quality and presence, and of course the analog warmth—but I have an iPod to carry around with me, and you can't get much more digital.
No given audio medium is superior in every respect to any other...it's like asking if a screwdriver is better than a bandsaw.
Good poll.

As well as the crystalline NaCl that keeps Austria and parts of southeastern Germany from falling into the Earth's mantle.I understand there's a fair bit of it in the ocean that we didn't put there.
On Dremel bits: I prefer the circular saw blades to cutoff wheels for cutting plastic. Quicker cutters, don't shatter, and don't wear out as quickly. Of course, theyre also more expensive, but that's the price you pay (pun intended).
