#298736 New Nerf Series!

Posted by Mepain on 27 May 2011 - 07:04 AM in General Nerf

The discs that these new blasters use appear to be miniaturized Frisbee discs. This would probably explain the satisfying range seen here.

As far as I can tell, the only other relevant information released here is a picture of all the other blasters.

EDIT: Oh, and another video.



#269011 Recon With A Longshot Priming Bar

Posted by Mepain on 13 March 2010 - 01:16 PM in Modifications

It's called a longstrike.



#263864 Longstrike Cs-6 Revealed

Posted by Mepain on 31 January 2010 - 02:10 AM in General Nerf

Alternatively, the stock spring could be really stretched.
Then just remove the spring rest and replace the spring. This would give a good inch or two more space for the spring to rest in and compress.


Eh, not a good idea.



#262298 Interest Thread In A Winter War In Michigan

Posted by Mepain on 18 January 2010 - 04:37 PM in Nerf Wars

I'd do my best to be there with a few friends.



#262144 Longstrike Cs-6 Revealed

Posted by Mepain on 17 January 2010 - 12:41 PM in General Nerf

In agreement with dizzyduck, I highly suggest that everyone take a few minutes to read this article.

While I certainly don't acknowledge the continuation of this argument, I felt that everyone involved should be aware of preceding events.

Just get your flu shot boys and girls.

Idunno man, I don't want to be that 1 in a million.



#253831 Raider Cs-35 Question

Posted by Mepain on 18 October 2009 - 01:15 PM in Modifications

Taking out all the locks will fix that.



#235222 Bolt Action Bbbb Breeched To Accept Mags

I might stop by with a friend or 2.



#230565 K'nex Wars

Posted by Mepain on 16 May 2009 - 11:30 AM in Off Topic

So I decided to go ahead and bring this thread back to see if anybody here was interested in trying a war. I've organized one here.

I have plenty of stuff to loan out if anybody wants to drop by for a few hours.



#229151 Longshot Front Gun Shoots 45'

Posted by Mepain on 09 May 2009 - 06:40 AM in Modifications

I have a Doit Best store around me, but was unable to find any compression springs during my recent tour of the store. Perhaps it was their bad selection, or maybe they just ran out, I don't know. For future reference, what general area of the store did you find your springs in?



#226104 Recon Isn't Catching

Posted by Mepain on 26 April 2009 - 11:11 AM in General Nerf

If you did stretch it, then that could very well be your problem. Mine is a bit less than 4 3/4'' long, stock. If yours is longer by much, it's been stretched.

~~

Does that mean I can't use the spring?

Yup.



#226097 Recon Isn't Catching

Posted by Mepain on 26 April 2009 - 10:59 AM in General Nerf

Did you stretch the spring?



#226077 Recon Isn't Catching

Posted by Mepain on 26 April 2009 - 10:01 AM in General Nerf

Everything looks like it should work, I don't see any problems from the pictures that you have provided. Is the catch spring in the gun?

If so, try taking the [main] spring out, closing the gun, and pulling out the reverse plunger manually to see if it catches. If it does, then something may have collapsed in the barrel. If not, open it back up, and track the plunger's movement through the catch until it cannot be pulled back any more, and should have gotten caught already. Maybe the catch plate is worn down.

Edit: I just remembered that I had a few occurrences like this a while back when messing with my recon. It turned out that the catch plate was simply not positioned correctly.

Interesting.

Can't really customize stuff that much though.

I, too, may be attending the MI war. Not too far of a drive.



#207056 2 Super Clips

Posted by Mepain on 27 January 2009 - 10:05 PM in Modifications

It would also work if you tape the two double clips together, so that when one goes empty, take it out and flip it around and BAM.


Or you could put them next to each other, and tape them together with like a block of wood or something in between them. Take it out, move it over an inch, put it back in.



#206583 Intergration Poll

Posted by Mepain on 26 January 2009 - 04:39 PM in Modifications

Integrate them all into each other.



#205417 The Thundersplat, By Splitlip

Posted by Mepain on 22 January 2009 - 06:11 PM in Modifications

Very cool. Maybe you could make the end of the inline clip close when the pump is forward, and open when it's pumped back, like the breech. It should solve the problem of any darts falling out.



#205234 Gun Pictures

Posted by Mepain on 21 January 2009 - 08:27 PM in General Nerf

Gears has a nice picture of a stock crossbow in the "show off your crossbow" thread. Page 3 I believe. The arms are removed as well.

#203832 Your Nerf Gun Ranges

Posted by Mepain on 16 January 2009 - 03:36 PM in General Nerf

My maverick shoots 97.3 feet flat, because it's painted black with blue stripes.



#200617 Air Zone Professional

Posted by Mepain on 02 January 2009 - 04:28 PM in General Nerf

That "Easy Squeeze Rapid Fire 6 Shooter" (heh) is semi-automatic I believe. I saw one in a little toy store this summer in California.



#199415 K'nex Wars

I am Mepain in Instructables.



#198644 K'nex Wars

Posted by Mepain on 24 December 2008 - 01:22 PM in Off Topic

If you're only getting 20', add more bands. It won't hurt it as long as you've taped the firing pin. Most of the time, any K'nex gun is not going to work perfectly right off the bat, They need to be messed with a little bit to get them to work properly.

Edit: For anybody interested, here is a K'nexsayer size comparison picture: http://i271.photobuc...nexsayer096.jpg



#198526 K'nex Wars

Posted by Mepain on 23 December 2008 - 10:19 PM in Off Topic

K'nexsayer took a few weeks to make and perfect. Maybe a month, I don't remember.



#198517 K'nex Wars

Posted by Mepain on 23 December 2008 - 09:44 PM in Off Topic

Ha, thanks. In most cases, K'nex guns are harder to make than Nerf blasters are to modify.



#198332 K'nex Wars

Posted by Mepain on 23 December 2008 - 03:36 PM in Off Topic

They do, but they are a pain to make on 200+ rods. Wrapping might have the same effect, and will be easier to make. Still experimenting though.



#198309 K'nex Wars

Posted by Mepain on 23 December 2008 - 02:01 PM in Off Topic

Yes, the ammo is made of plastic, but stefans have hot glue tips, which hurt equally as much. A problem that I have come by most often is how the K'nex rods flip frantically through the air once they reach a certain point after they've been shot. I've been experimenting with ways of helping this, such as adding e-tape to the front of a rod to weigh down the front end like the lead weights or bbs do in stefans. So far, results have been quite promising.



#198266 K'nex Wars

Posted by Mepain on 23 December 2008 - 10:13 AM in Off Topic

I've got an ASSLOAD of this stuff. Like GALLONS. How can i find interested buyers on that site?


If you don't plan on trying some things out, eBay would be the best place to sell them. Hell, I might even be interested.
