#40141 Modding A Nite Finder

Posted by Crimson Owl on 28 October 2004 - 08:27 PM in Modifications

Well, I went out and bought a Nite Finder like suggested, I am actually pretty happy with it.

Well, being that it's a spring, I pulled it apart, and found the spring, I stretched it some, and after stretching too far squeezed it back some.

Over all it seems to have less of a drop rate as I shoot down my hall, so it seems effective, I'm curious what else I may do to it.

If my digital cam was working I'd pop up some pictures to show, something to work on.

Didn't know what anyone thought and if there were any suggestions for further improvements on it, I leave it to all of you.

Wow, someone near-by, cool. I actually went to the store tonight with a friend, we grabbed some rubber cement to fix my nerfsaber before tommorow, that gal I mentioned is coming over.

In addition, I was pleasantly suprised to find several nightfinders there, I may just grab 2, size-wise that will be great for having in one hand, a nerfsaber in the other. Sorry... I like the ability to pop someone at close range for being foolish enough to let me that close.

Yea, she came up to me and said "Hey, you know those Nerfsabers you have? I want to use them against you." So I smiled, and agreed of course, I've got 3 on loan from a friend so that we both can dual-wield.

Should be fun. Played SW D20 today actually. As for Dag, I'm familiar, not overly, but it sounds familiar, I may have looked it up at a point or two.

And on a Nerf gathering in Spring, sounds cool.

*Raises hand* Right, well I'm the new guy, who doesn't even own a Nerf gun yet, and let me just say this, from experience in running online gaming groups, and various other things similar.

Get your dicks back in your pants and quit trying to compare yourselves. Honestly you sound like a couple of 11 year olds that just discovered pubic hairs.

Now, if you want to be respected, you want to be treated on a decent level, then quit bitching, quit talking shit, and if you really are that damn worried about it, then perhaps you should: 1. Get your asses to a part and Nerf the hell out of each other until someone's got to be carried out. OR the better idea, 2. Realize what Nerfing, or any other group activity with friends is really about... Getting your ass away from a computer, TV, and getting out somewhere to enjoy time with your friends.

So, keep it in your pants gentlemen, though that term doesn't exactly fit a majority of the people posting here.

Ah but of course, though I can't seem to find them in a yahoo run, if someone's got a link they want to PM me that'd be cool. I'm looking for something cheap really, just moved houses, so money's low. And yea, I figured out the name Moose. :w00t:

Hehe.

*Oriented

And thanks, to everyone actually, it's nice to be in a place where having good grammer and typing capability is appreciated.

Actually the ironic part is that aside from my nerfsabers, I've got no weaponry, I've got to go out and get myself a gun, I think a friend and I are going to go out once we get some cash and look into a gun, I'm thinking spring loaded myself, seems easiest to mod without risk of really messing it up.

Call me a priss if you dare, but personally I'd rather avoid a mess. I like to think of myself as productively lazy, if I don't have to clean something, I can do something else that I enjoy.

Thanks, a very good friend of mine made them. Technically they're "Bracers" due to the lack of hand/finger covering. And of course the term Bracelet comes from that, meaning a smaller bracer. Sorry... I was compelled to.

Might I also add, that my AIM and MSN are available at the bottom of all my posts, feel free to add me and just mention Nerf, I'll understand who you are. :angry:

That's usually the best way to track me down.

*Laughes* Well it's pretty cool when I can get 10+ posts on my first night.

As for LARP, no we don't, we do mostly Table Top RP, we've focused on Star Wars d20 lately.

However we do also go in full costume, as attendees to the local Reniassance Faire.

As for the previous mention of swearing never to shoot your girlfriend and in turn, keeping her: I'll have to remember that one.

Our nerfsabers have gone under modification actually, we originally used hexagonal piping with pipe insulation around it and wrapped with duct tape. After a few too many busted knuckles and welts, we got the idea to use Swimming noodles, which are highly inexpensive and don't hurt at all, I go against people twice my body weight and manage to compete effectively.

*Laughes* Well one of my other interests is Reniassance Festival and Star Wars, mix the two and you've got my Role-Play group with 1/2" PVC pipe, put a swimming "Fun Noodle" over it with some rubber cement, wrap the handle in leather and go at it. We've had a lot of fun. Most of our sabers are our own color choices, and we've got varied sizes fit to us, for different styles of combat. Plenty of fun.

Hehe, yes well while it is an interest, (un)fortunately I'm between girlfriends right now. My recent break-up and I are actually really cool though and do a lot of things together, she's really cool, and not freaked out by weird stuff like the fact that I enjoy playing RP and such.

Anyway, yea, girls are a peculiar subject. At least the ones I know.

Alright, well, I'm 16, 17 in January, and in Saint Joseph, Missouri, it's about a 60 minute drive north of Kansas City.

Pretty cool, once I get around to it, I'll share construction information on the nerfsabers, my friends and I have a blast with them, and the only real saftey equip suggested (not required) are the padded mechanic gloves you can get at automotive shops.

Hey all, thought I'd say hi.

I'm actually looking to start a group here in my area, I like most of the info provided on mods and stuff, very cool. Actually I think with my group however, we'll be incorporating use of homemade "NerfSabers" aptly named by a friend of mine. Which could add a very interesting feel to the games.
