#220174 Your Worst Nerf Related Injury
Posted by Salmon on 27 March 2009 - 04:48 PM in General Nerf
1. Getting extremely high-temperature hot glue ALL OVER my leg, arm, and hand whilst modding with a friend,
2. Burning the crap out of my finger on searing hot brass, and
3. Pinching my finger inside of a Powerclip and getting this big, nasty welt/blood blister.
That last one actually didn't hurt THAT bad, but eventually, the blood inside the blister dried up and congealed and I had to peel off a bit of the skin to get it out.
. . .
Well, after that previous statement, I don't think I'll be eating for a while. *ralphs*

#220786 Yellow Longshot
Posted by Salmon on 30 March 2009 - 09:34 PM in General Nerf
Oh my god, I can't stop laughing at this. I thought I was the only one who thought the Raider was ugly, but apparently not.Quite, this is the reason I think the raider is going to rule.However, I've noticed: The cooler it looks, the more it sucks.

#167486 X-bow Plungerhead Replacement
Posted by Salmon on 08 August 2008 - 08:55 PM in Modifications
1. Remove the e-tape(if possible. I highly recommend it)
2. Take a BBB arrow(any Nerf arrow might work too, I don't know) and cut a segment from it about 1/3" thick, or as deep as your the hole in the crossbow plunger head, so you have a little foam disk.
3. Poke a hole in the center of the foam disk.
4. Put the foam disk into the plunger head, so the foam is level with the rim. In other words, so there is no empty space in the crossbows o-ring/plunger head/rubber thing(except for the hole in the middle where it goes on to the plunger rod). You can hot glue it in, if you want.
5. Replace the plunger head and put the gun back together, and you should have a MUCH better seal.
I hope that helps. I will draw up a pic if you need it. I hope this was clear.
EDIT: I don't think you should hot glue it in, on second thought. I didn't, and it has a great seal anyways. You don't want a way-too-tight seal, just nicely snug. When I used those rubber washers that Keef is mentioning, for instance, it actually had TOO good of a seal and only shot like 60-ish feet, and my xbow has 2 BBB springs in it and usually gets 90-110 feet, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you sand the washers down first.

Oh. My. God.Someone put up a challenge in that thread so I figured Id take it. Why not put titan internals in the gamecube itself? That'd be awesome... Time to look for a broken gamecube...
You are genius! Scatter-titan Gamecube FTW! Actually, I could maybe do something like a Gameboy SP/Spidey dart tag(or Hornet tank)combo, since I have three SP's that I never use......

#238978 Which One Is Best?
Posted by Salmon on 28 June 2009 - 12:34 AM in General Nerf
Uh, not so easy. I mean, there are only like 30, maybe 40 nerfers in the entire state of Texas. And the only one I can think of from Dallas is SchizophrenicMC, and I believe he actually lives in Arlington.Just try to find some nerfers in dallas and ask them.
Anyway, If it's a springer you're buying, I recommend Best Materials black closed-cell foam, since it generally has a snug-but-not-too-tight fit in PETG. If it's an air gun, the red foam/stefans Mod Man sells should give you a nice loose fit.

Instead of double-posting, just edit your post. Really, the only time double-posting is ok is when you're bumping your own sales thread, and only if it's your own sales thread. If you don't know how to edit, just look at your post, look at the bottom right corner, find the button that says "edit", select "full edit" in the menu, and change your post to your desire.
Now, since no one has said it yet,
Nice job! Welcome to the 'Haven.

#162668 Where To Get
Posted by Salmon on 13 July 2008 - 06:25 PM in General Nerf
EDIT: *facepalm* Thanks KF. I was thinking of something different entirely. ANYWAYS I don't think they have much modding capability, as they usually use very weak springs.

Heck yeah! I mean, with like 100-foot range, great accuracy, awesome old school look, only 3 pumps to fill, and a turret, what could be better?I would LOVE to see the SuperMaxx 1000 get fixed up and re-released. Seriously, it's one of the coolest guns out there.

#146016 What Nerf Guns Could Be The Crossbows Of The Future?
Posted by Salmon on 20 March 2008 - 07:15 PM in General Nerf
Isn't that like a Recon? Not in performance, but in concept?However the one that will come closest to it will probably be a tie between the LS and the NF (as the LS gets good ranges and is super cool and the NF has awesomenessisim for a pistol)
Actually, Nerf tends to reuse things. Look at the past. The Razorbeast has been twisted into the Vulcan, the LnL the Nitefinder, the Blastfire the Hornet, and the Ripsaw the Buzzsaw. But, honestly, the Crossbow is unique. And the LS just might reach Crossbow standards, but only far, far in the future.

#139024 What Is So Good About The Nightfinder?
Posted by Salmon on 06 February 2008 - 08:48 PM in General Nerf
1.Moderately easy to mod, gets great results
2.Cool looking, particularly with a paintjob
3.People are always thinking of new ways to mod them like here and here and more recently here
4.Easy to cock, and the cocking mechanism is nearly begging for mods
5.Ample room, if you remove the "laser" bit, that is, for a small internal integration(I believe Starbuck does it here.

#205910 What Guns Do You Use?
Posted by Salmon on 24 January 2009 - 11:06 AM in General Nerf
Outdoors, my super-effective NF and... nothing as of now. I had a PETG longshot, but that failed because of issues with the copper part of the breech, I'm making a Doomsayer but I really screwed up the rotating mech and I need to buy a new one, and on my SuperMAXX 500 "rifle", PETG proved to be too tight a fit for airguns with Best Materials foam. I need to get some more 9/16 brass for that one. I'm also looking in to buying a BBB, since I've heard they're good and they now come in hot-looking red and black, but to me, it seems like reloading might get slightly tedious. I'm slightly amused by the fact I have a collection of at least 20 guns and not a single one of them works for me as an outdoor primary.

Anyway, resemblances aside, nice work. Decent range, impressive design. I just wish you hadn't painted it black, or at least flat black. Throw some fluorescent green and yellow and hot pink on there!

Posted by Salmon on 18 June 2009 - 05:02 PM in Homemades
Plus, they look cooler in neon.We make them look like what they are...toys. I see what you were going for, but you aught to slap some orange duct tape on there when you're in public. That thing just looks menacing. It looks very sleak and proffesional, but the real main reason for us going so heavy on neon is that it keeps it looking like a toy (What it's suppost to look like), and less like a real firearm, which generally, in public places, causes a tad bit of dismay.
#149475 Vinyl Dye Question
Posted by Salmon on 05 April 2008 - 12:16 PM in General Nerf
The yellow circled part is the area that is covered with red, ugly, chipping paint.
#149418 Vinyl Dye Question
Posted by Salmon on 05 April 2008 - 12:18 AM in General Nerf
Well, the plunger rod is painted red, and I got MOST of the paint off, but there is still some paint on there that could be potentially scratched off. So if I sprayed on top of the painted plastic as well as the unpainted, would the dyed paint chip off and leave ugly unpainted blotches again? Or would it color the plastic through the paint?It can only affect the plastic itself. It cannot alter the color of paint.I was wondering if I sprayed Vinyl Dye on top of if it would would still be permanent, or would it chip off with the rest of the paint?
You likely got poor results on the plunger tube parts because of their extremely smooth surface. For them to accept paint or vinyl dye they have to be lightly sanded first.

#158874 Urban Nerf Warfare
Posted by Salmon on 11 June 2008 - 06:57 PM in General Nerf
That article just got me really angry. It's ridiculous to attempt to outlaw a game, and a sport no less. It's not like anyone is getting hurt. Sure, when you get hit, it stings, or maybe might leave a welt, but that's no reason to condemn a game as "dangerous" and "disruptive"!I would also like to know that
Just searching I found This on google I found it interesting.

Seriously? Like a Big Salvo or a Hornet? Then that is just amazing. I HAVE to pick one of these up. Heck, even if it DIDN'T it would be worth it to me.yes it shoots one at a time
#235660 Ultra Dumb Ls. Halp!
Posted by Salmon on 11 June 2009 - 03:33 PM in Modifications
For a springer, you want a snug/tight-fitting barrel, because it will create pressure. In spring-powered guns, there is generally a lower volume of air getting pushed out relatively slowly, so that pressure is essential.
For an air gun, you want a loose barrel, because a large amount of air is being expelled at a very high speed. Since you don't need the added pressure building up, and you want low barrel friction, loose is best.
Get those two wrong and your gun will completely crap out on you. I recommend you also add a few springs, such as a spring from a Big Bad Bow, and put some kind of breech on your gun. Since you're new and seem relatively inexperienced, I suggest you "single" your gun using Ice's method, which you can find here.
