-YOU DON'T NEED TO WEAR A COSTUME. If you show up with one, however, you will be eligible to win some goofy prizes. 

-Remember to consider how "nerf-friendly" your costume is if you plan on playing in it.

-There will be prizes for costumes. Who will win the coveted SQUIDBOAT trophy for 'best costume'? There could be other winners, but only if enough people show up in costume.

-Be sure to bring water, money for lunch, a costume if you want, darts, blasters to use, and as always, a good attitude. 

-standard socal rules apply.

Got questions? post 'em here. 

Let's not all go crazy.

 

These rules are how they are because we have had no reason to change them in the 4 - 5 years that the annual event has happened.

 

Yes soldering and rewiring would be an on site process and would require some dedication to get done.

 

For the most part we have had a huge minority in the flywheel blaster department, but we don't want to exclude those who prefer to use them in a stock or semi-stock environment.

 

I don't want this thread to get derailed into a discussion on what would or would not make sense fora war like this so if you have any further concerns about blasters or anything else please feel free to pm me.

Thanks.

Yep... Its that time of year where we at S.C.U.N. hold our annual NIB/Stock/"Low-Tech on-the-spot Modding" Event. Yes, this is a "Stock Event" similar to a N.I.B. war but not quite as strictly aimed at using a brand new blaster, as it is going back to a time where you couldn't "science" a nerf gun beyond "slap a crayola marker on it"

Like every Stock War We've done, there will be about a half hour of “Field Modding Time” using the most “basic” of nerf modding supplies:
 

• Hand tools like Screwdrivers, small hacksaws, pliers, wire cutters, x-acto knives or boxcutters, leatherman tool, hand drills, etc.
• Electrical Tape/Duct Tape etc
• Most Adhesives (includes Epoxy Putty, Super Glue, Plumber's Goop)
• Rubber Bands/Mini bungee
• Crayola Barrels or similar objects.
• a 2k Pump tube is an acceptable way to mod something for Arrows.
• Electronic mods to flywheel guns are allowed, this ranges from basic higher voltage batteries all the way to full motor replacement.

NO PVC or other Pipe/Tubing WILL BE ALLOWED.

Naturally, there will still be some safety bans, IE no making titans shoot micros. But pretty much anything else is fair game. Bring as many or as few blasters as you'd like, by leaving the ammo stock, we should have a fairly level playing field whatever you bring. Also you're allowed to bring any blasters that are already modded to these specifications, be it because you did it for one of the previous stock wars, or felt like modding in advance.

NOTE: If you want to make sure you have maximum recovery of your own stock ammo do something to CLEARLY IDENTIFY IT AS YOURS  I.E. Baghead uses neon pink marking stickers on his Vortex Discs and neon Pink sharpie dots on his Rival Balls. 

We'll start this earlier than usual, so that modding time doesn't cut too much into our playing time, so try to show up by 9:30 AM

The Date is SET as March 25th

Location:

21601 Snow Creek Dr

Walnut, CA 91789

Unlike our previous location for this annual event we don't have a conveniently located pizza place... but we do have several shops/restaurants surprisingly close to the location so I suggest you bring monies and or food and have everything you need to stay well hydrated. Hope to see you guys there.

-YOU NEED TO WEAR A COSTUME. If you show up without one you will be given a lame loaner costume, be shunned, and probably be the brunt of everyone's jokes throughout the day. 

-Remember to consider how "nerf-friendly" your costume is. You'll be expected to play at least one round in your full costume, then you're welcome to take off some stuff that makes things too hot, or just plain uncomfortable. But it's best if you plan to have a costume that won't need any alterations throughout the day. 

-If possible, try to bring some candy to share with everyone.

-There will be prizes for costumes. Who will win the coveted SQUIDBOAT trophy for 'best costume'? There will be other winners, but the categories are still undecided.

Where in California are you?

Due to me unexpectedly getting busy on my normally lazy weekends I will be unable to arrive at my own event. Baghead will also be busy tomorrow and the rest of the SCUN leadership is kind of in quasi-retirement, so I will be cancelling the war. Don't panic though. Chris Cartaya has a war tomorrow and this is its thread: http://nerfhaven.com...showtopic=25827

I know it says that it was last weekend, but on the facebook link he has on there it states that his war is in fact the 25th.

This event that he has planned is a little farther of a trip then most of us usually take, but he should have a good event going on and if you can make it you should have a good time.

Sorry for the short notice and I hope you can make it to his war.

See you at the next one.

Its that time of year where we at S.C.U.N. hold our annual NIB/Stock/"Low-Tech on-the-spot Modding" Event. Once more we shall gather at our Southernmost Reliable Location in Corona to goof around with barely modded blasters and shoot each other with stock ammo and enjoy pizza for a fair amount of hours. Its fun for the whole family.

So, yes, this is a "Stock Event" similar to a N.I.B. war but not quite as strictly aimed at using a brand new blaster, as it is going back to a time where you couldn't "science" a nerf gun beyond "slap a crayola marker on it"

Like every Stock War We've done, there will be about a half hour of “Field Modding Time” using the most “basic” of nerf modding supplies:

Hand tools like Screwdrivers, small hacksaws, pliers, wire cutters, x-acto knives or boxcutters, leatherman tool, hand drills, etc.
Electrical Tape/Duct Tape etc
Most Adhesives (includes Epoxy Putty, Super Glue, Plumber's Goop)
There is an outlet and I'll bring an extension cord so you can use Hot Glue if you wish.
Rubber Bands/Mini bungee
Crayola Barrels or similar objects like those Jägermeister tubes as barrel material.
a 2k Pump tube is an acceptable way to mod something for Arrows.
Electronic mods to flywheel guns are allowed, this ranges from basic higher voltage batteries all the way to full motor replacement.

Some of these supplies/tools will be provided, but expect to provide yourself with most of what you need to mod on the spot.

NO PVC or other Pipe/Tubing WILL BE ALLOWED.

Naturally, there will still be some safety bans, IE no making titans shoot micros. Pistol splats and all variants are not allowed, because they perform on par with modded guns bone stock. But pretty much anything else is fair game. Bring as many or as few blasters as you'd like, by leaving the ammo stock, we should have a fairly level playing field whatever you bring. Also you're allowed to bring any blasters that are already modded to these specifications, be it because you did it for one of the previous stock wars, or felt like modding in advance.

We'll start this earlier than usual, so that modding time doesn't cut too much into our playing time, so try to show up by 9:30 AM

Also allowed are large ammo blasters including zing, mongo, missile, ball, arrow, and rocket. These blasters may be modded with materials outside the war restriction, but must be firing their intended ammo.

The Date is SET as FEBURARY 7TH

Location:
Horsethief Canyon Park
Shotgun Trail Rd.
Corona, CA 92883

The Park has Restrooms. Nearby there is a shopping center with a Pizza Hut, A Subway and a grocery store. We usually just make a group pizza order together and send a small detachment to pick things up. so bring cash for Pizza, or be ready to take care of getting other food for yourself.

Considering it's right around the corner I'll be there, bad sweater-vest and all.

The date has been decided. This will be on the 18th of October.

My first war was for Falcon's birthday in 2003. I had my lock n' load and sharpshooter II.
First NIC war was Geddon 2005. I had a crayola'd Supermaxx 1500 and the old lnl.

When: May 3rd 10 am till 4ish

Rules: Just like the last one, this war will have some very different rules than the usual. This is to continue to prepare the locals for the upcoming changes that are expected for this year's Armageddon.

Firstly, No glue domes. Any softer ammo type is fine, be it slugs, putty wraps, amiors, or others of the like. Follow ryan mcnumbers' guide on how to make if unsure.

Secondly, eye protection will be mandatory for all ages. This is because due to the softness and aerodynamics of the ammo types some higher velocity blasters are able to be used for this war.

Third, blaster restrictions are as follows:
-Titans and anything with a titan tank in it (unless you are firing stock rockets, Drac's rockets, or if you are firing darts out of seven or more barrels simultaneously)
-Homemade Airguns (includes anything with a pump/valve that isn't made by hasbro/lanard/buzzbee such as those drain cleaners)
-Guns with plugged pumps that were designed to shoot anything larger than a mega dart. (LBB/BBBB, Signal Launchers, UMBs etc.) -Relocated pumps must include a stock OPRV and must have comparable range and performance to the same blaster with a stock pump.
-Super Soakers

Any questions you can post here or pm me.

Hope to see you there.

Does anyone have any darts they'd be willing to lend/sell? I don't think I'll have any time to make a batch before Saturday.

There should be enough darts to go around.

Ahh dang it, can't make this one. But, so now on no more glue domes?

Not from now on but just to be ready for future events.

What to bring: blasters, darts, money for food, good attitude, holiday spirit(required)

What not to bring: Banned blasters

Holiday spirit includes any and all holiday apparel like a knit sweater or such things that would be seen on a person in a bad holiday card photo. This must be worn for at least one round of play.

Quick question does it have to be a costume or can it just be a mask?

Wear something that would be acceptable to go trick-or-treating in if you want to go for a prize.

Just a mask would be marginal. The whole point is to get into the holiday spirit.

Quick question does this count as exposed metal (if u can see the BB under the dome) Oh and can u let me know what you use to upload your picture so i can give u one.

If there is any metal parts that are exposed to the outside air, or will come in contact with a person when they are struck by the dart then the metal would be exposed.

I use photo bucket to upload pics myself.

Are there going to be any wars or upcoming wars in this area or within a reasonable drive time?

If you can find a good place to play in pasadena we at SCUN are always looking to have more places to play at.

Just let me know of a location and i'll be sure to check it out.

I have no problem housing you and your friend, however it should be known that i have both a cat and a dog so if either of you have allergies then looking elsewhere would be good.

To therealnerfjunkies: the war starts at 9:30 am and no help setting up will be needed.

Never been to a Nerf War that's been organized within the NIC. What kind of blasters can I expect to see there?

Trying to get a feel for how prepared I would have to be, you know?

You should expect to see less homemades than in most war photos from other parts of the country.

Some people even bring stock blasters and darts. Doesn't stop them from having fun though.

This is just a friendly reminder that this war is tomorrow. See you guys there.

Hi, i was wondering if I and a few friends could just use standard nerf blasters. We are not modders but would really like to partake in an official nerf battle. We all go to the local middle school and know cullen and the park very well. Thank you.

Why yes you can.

It is perfectly fine to use stock blasters and darts, however know that most if not all the other people will not be.
Take into consideration the fact that our homemade darts will most likely be out ranging your blasters performance, but don't let that stop you from coming.

Also, its good to hear that a new generation of nerfers has sprung up in old G-town.

Hope to see you out there.
