When I was about six, I poked myself in the hand with a pencil and it broke the skin. I have a mark under my skin on my left palm,it's been there ever since. Anyways, my slightly random story just goes to show that yes, pencil graphite is not toxic.Graphite isn't toxic enough to seriously poison you in the small amount you would receive if poked by a pencil.But you're right, not only could this wound someone, it could make them sick from lead(or whatever that stuff is, maybe graphite) poisoning if you had a gun that could break skin with it.
And seriously? You're shooting people with pencils? Even if they're unsharpened the wood could splinter and become sharp. Please don't shoot anything that isn't foam.

You can get 50ft without singling the FF, I've heard of someone doing it...
Anyways 50t if not great. A well modded NF would get a better range, and be less bulky.

To actually answer your question, which no one else has done, hand painting would work, If you used the right kind of paint (one made for plastic). Use better grammar.I know that 15 min sounded wrong oh well my mav broke any ways im just thinking about painting my firefly and if i paint it i will probably hand paint it even though it takes a lot longer.
#115319 The Merits Of A Maverick

I am fearful of many newbies on this forum getting the wrong idea about mavs, because of how often people bash them. Mavs are definitely not great guns, but I'm going to explain some good things about them to attempt to convince newbies to think about getting them as one of their first weapons.
1. The maverick is cheap. $8 is not a lot of money. It's not the cheapest gun out there, but it's a hell of a lot better than forking over $30 for a long shot if you're new to nerf.
2. The maverick is easy to mod. Lots of people say they're hard to mod, which I don't get. There are many mods for the mav out there, with very detailed write-ups. They're really not that hard, even with zero modding experience.
3. For an indoor war, mavs end up being perfect. You never need to shoot farther than the 20ft you can get with a mav if you're in someone's basement, and anything more powerful would be overkill, and also piss people off.
4. Mav have great ROF. I can get off six shots in about four seconds. That's real good. Unlike clip guns, It's almost impossible to get the mav to jam from fast firing.
5. They look awesome. Even stock, the mav looks good and with a great paint-job, the thing looks wicked. There's something about revolvers.
Now I don't want anyone to say "I know this already" because this is to help out newer members. This is 5 good reasons for a newbie to get a mav, not bad, eh?

Impressive for your first homemade. That's decent power for a spring powered gun, it would serve you well if you went into war with it. Maybe make a magazine for it, try a deoderant clip. The paint job is okay, a little shiny for my tastes, but if you like it, that's all that really matters, eh?
All in all a great gun, I'm surprised this is your first homemade.

If you used a stronger material than tinfoil you could have a much stronger gun.
Maybe try a rubber membrane?

Here are the reasons why your idea is bad:
1. The dart will fall apart after repeated firing
2. The is the possibility of wounding someone
3. They are most likely quite inaccurate
4. You waste a pencil for every dart you make

You also need some grammar. If this is your first homemade, don't bother with anything Boltsniper has ever made, it'll be too hard. Maybe try a snap, but I suggest trying a simpler homemade like a hose-handle or a ball valve like the ones in the homemades page.OK I want to make a pistol but not any pistol I want it to have a magazine but is not like the gns. So I need help and ideas.

Wouldn't work. You couldn't get enough power from a wheel turning.You could duct tape the bladder to the tire and put a clip on top of the barrel. Ever time the wheel spins the gun will shoot.

Nice paintjob.
KMILNZE is asking about the extra bow pieces that come with the BBB, and no they do not increase performance so they are unnecesary. They just get in the way, so pretty much everyone doesn't use them.
Don't be so hard on him, the only mistake he made was replace c with x.

Stretching the spring is a bad idea, you'll see a minor improvement in preformance, then the spring will return to it's normal length and preformance will suffer because the spring will have been waeakened. You're better off looking for a replacement spring.

I'll bet the ranges suck, no offence, it's just that crayolas are not the way to go. Shoce some e-taped brass up the stock barrel and you can easily get 60 or 70 feet. Put in a better spring and you could break 100.

Hmm. I've never played Starcraft or Warcraft or any other computer game that you actually pay money for (www.caiman.us has about three gazillion free games for download) but Starcraft has really been heralded by many people I know. How much would said game be and is it worth a play to decide whether I like it before I buy it?
