WOW, this gun will be a definite purchase for me. However, I think this gun will get me in a lot of trouble after I paint it!! Contrary to what many people are saying, I think this gun has a lot of primary potential, for 3 main reasons. First off there is the amazing integration possibilities as previously mentioned. The next 2 are based on a couple of "if" statements. If the plunger extends out of the back of the gun, then it could potentially be made to extend all the way to the back of the stock (and possibly past that, for the crazier modders). Next, if the loading system from the clip is very similar to the LS's loading system, there is already a great deal of write ups on how to improve it. Therefore, I think I will take my sweet time modding this gun, so that I can do it justice.
I do agree with a few of the cons on this gun however, but no gun can be perfect when still stock. The stock does look flimsy, but at the same time it would be very easy to fortify. The position of the 'cocker' looks to be a tad awkward for a riffle type gun, but a shotgun grip wouldn't too hard to integrate. I think my biggest concern with this gun, is the 'add-on' crap. If the front barrel is anything like the LS side arm, it will only hinder this gun's performance. However this is another easy modification, especially using OMC's PETG (which rules!!). For purely aesthetic purposes I would take off the potentially good sight system on the top of the gun, and replace it with a LS "scope", because there's already a "laser".
All my mumbo jumbo aside, I think this will be a devastating gun when properly modified, which definitely has an amazingly badass look to it.

I've got an idea I've been working on lately, but it seems to only work for sidearm sized guns. Rare earth magnets. I hot glued 3 magnets into a maverick, then hot glued and sewed in 3 magnets into the inside of a pair of pants. This method looks super cool, and makes for a very quick exchange of weapons, when you're out of ammo. I'll post pics of it later, like I said I'm still fine tuning the process.

I agree with CaptainSlug, in that this site most definitely not an anarchy. I also think that you're an idiot for using anarchy to describe a system by which there are few that rule over many. By etymological definition, anarchy means "without leadership". I think what you meant to say, which would also be an inaccurate description of this community, is something more like "Stalin-istic communist state". I think the way this site is run is amazing, the more knowledge and contributions, the more respect.
Putting your inaccuracies of description aside, as well as not being nice, fuck you. FA24's contributions are not only very numerous and of a HIGH level of quality, they also inspire others to work harder at something that makes them happy. I think anyone with an IQ over 40 recognizes FA24 as a brilliant, out-side of the box thinker, who is able to apply his thoughts into the manufacturing of nerf weapons of mass destruction. Also, you claim to be using your "freedom of speech", to slander the music FA24 listens to? How hypocritical can one person get? It is FA's "freedom of speech", to pick whatever music HE fucking wants for HIS videos!
Lastly, if you think that FA's videos and write-ups are such garbage, then don't watch/read them. Not viewing his material, would be much better than viewing it, then complaining like a little bitch, and would be FAR less detrimental to your health!

I think fluorescent orange would be an awesome colour, and I would pay $.35/foot if FA24 says it's worth it! I'm very lazy when it comes to finding my darts, so fluorescent orange would definitely help with the ease of spotting them. I would also be a regular customer because I would rather support the "fbr industry", than spend an hour searching for the darts MIA. My major modding season is the winter; Christmas brings me new guns/modding materials, and I tend to like being in my "laboratory" (listening to hardcore metal!) rather than being out in the sometimes harsh Canadian winter.

I agree with the fact that there need to be separate sections for nerf events that are played for extended periods of time. As far as where we draw the line, I think we should look at what is played at a nerf war. Games like CTF and death matches should stay within the nerf wars category because they are played at nerf wars. Games like assassins and HvZ aren't played at nerf wars, because they require a much larger timeline than sunrise to sunset.
I think the fact that, according to Longbow in FA24's 'Zombie Games' thread, there were about 300 participants in one HvZ game is justification enough for this modification to the haven. There is the fan base out there for these games; I say we make it as easy as possible for them to find the information they need. The more readily available the info is would result in; more occurring nerf events, better rules, more 'options' for games. Another GIANT plus of having this information more organized, would be the help it would give to other potential colleges/universities for hosting these events. If the info is easy for people that need convincing (like the campus police, or deans/presidents) the less reluctant they are going to be in allowing and even aiding these events.
After all is said and done, I think the positive effect of this modification more than justifies the work that it would take to make FA24's idea a reality.

I might be using the term "concept" out of context for what I meant, or I might be 100% wrong (if I'm wrong, thanks for correcting me keef!). When I say "concept" I mean something that is a work in progress, or something that is 100% going to be fabricated. I don't mean a "maybe this will work", or a "I might be working on this in the future". Personally, I don't like "fence sitters".

I'm going to offer the opposing opinion, of a newcomer to this site. I like the high standards. I think if you're old enough to have an account on the haven, then you should be old enough to spell and conjugate. I know that language can sometimes be a bit tricky, so here's what I do for a little assistance when I'm not 100% sure. Highlight your entire post, copy and paste into your word processing program, run spell check, copy and paste back into your post. Simple.
There's also the argument of the code of conduct, and everyone else is completely right about this. You agreed to abide by the admins rules; therefore, it's your job to make sure you're following them. I think this site helps teach people to not be lazy about their communication skills, which in my opinion is a community service in itself.
However, I do agree that things can be a little harsh here. Maybe people should be able to have a warning, or a certain amount of posts to be properly spelling and conjugating. This may already be in place, but you have to admit that it would get frustrating having to very frequently make corrections that should have been avoided. So I can see why it is harsh, it must be a pain in the ass to baby sit members who can't spell. If I remember correctly, they teach this in school.

In theory this should work (In theory communism works), and produce double the pressure for the same amount of pumps. However the pumps would become increasingly difficult to complete, because technically you're working with double the amount of force pushing back on the plunger in the tubes. To put it in simple terms; number of pumps decreases, but difficulty to pump increases. I would suggest rigging up the 2 pumps for a trial first, before you go ahead and do the rest of the modifications.
Either way it will be interesting to see the results of a mod like this.

I'm also a mav fan. Their looks are completely badass.
The "straw mod" to the plunger decreases the area inside of it, therefore, increasing the output air flow of the plunger itself. I've done this mod, and the difference in ranges is noticeable. It's also an easy mod to complete (run a "McDick's" straw through the tube, fill it with expanding foam, let it dry, cut excess material flush and you're done), so I recommend it.

I think there are only 3 plausible reasons why your tek ten won't stay loaded.
1) The bracing for the rod is broken. Frost vectron already covered this; because the tek ten is very similar to the maverick (the only real difference being that the turret indexes into the next position when cocking the gun rather than pulling the trigger).
2) The cocking rod runs directly through the back of the plunger ram, and your plunger ram could possibly be broken at the back. This would make it impossible to cock.
3) The locking mech is either worn or is missing the spring, which means that the plunger ram would never stay in the cocked position.
This is all I could come up with considering the information given. When you pull back on the cocking mech, is the plunger ram being pulled back as well (can you feel the tension of the spring)?

I agree with Cmdrmack, a nerf ninja clan would dominate, and make for an interesting change in pace at a war. I have a couple of suggestions about nerf ninja rules at a war.
1) I think they shouldn't be able to wield guns. This is because ninjas are just too badass to use a gun to kill.
2) They should be able to block any incoming darts with any of their weapons (sword, massive shuriken). They are ninja's after all.
Z-man12, I bet you're thinking of a smaller type of shuriken, where these naruto ones are meant to be HUGE. I think they supposed to be like Mizuki's giant shuriken from the first episode! I don't think that these shuriken could be thrown multiple at a time, without lots of practice that is.

For all you rap haters, listen to real rap/hip hop. 99% of the shit you hear on the radio sucks my dry, dry balls. If you've listened to some real stuff with an open mind and still don't like it then, you can say you don't like it,
Sam, you've got the right idea here. I'm a hard core metal fan, but I have some friends that are huge into hip hop. My buddies told me the same thing, I listened to the hip hop they listen to and I liked it. You're 100% right with the fact that 99% of what "rap" is today is "pop-rap". It's the same thing with rock, a good chunk of rock out there is "pop-rock" (like coldplay, nickelback, good charlotte, U2....the list goes on).
And generaly music that is soothing.
Why because I find it helps me get ideas from brain to paper to reality.
That's where Pink Floyd comes in. I have all their songs on my computer at work and it tends to make the day easier, not to mention make the idea production department run a little smoother.

After reading; Recruit's, SHA's and Z-man12's posts, I've come to the conclusion that these massive foamy shuriken would be a perfect accessory for LARP'ing. I like the idea of having giant foamy poison shuriken, not sure if I'd want to be known a shitty shuriken thrower though (cheesy pun completely intended!). I think that a shuriken wielding ninja should be able to use them as a melee weapon, as they'd only be really good for defensive (short ranged, yes short range melee exists) melee purposes.
On a side note, how many people are interested in a Nerf Ninja Clan?

This simple explanation might answer your question: Disturbed is not talented. In a later post you stated that you were 'hardcore into metal.' Again, don't take this as an attack, but I find it funny since three bands you've listed are actually metal - Metallica, Megadeth, and Iron Maiden.
My exact words were "I'm a hard core metal fan". Having said that I was in no way shape or form claiming that EVERY band I listen to is metal. Considering the fact that the bands and the quote were in 2 different posts, I thought you'd be able to figure that out.
"Disturbed is not talented", is a VERY opinionative statement. If you're going to say something like that, you might want to back it up with some sort of proof, or atleast claim it to be your opinion rather than a fact. I've seen these guys in concert, and so far (in my opinion) it was the best concert I've ever been to. Just to give reference to some of the other bands I've seen live; Metallica, Greenday, Three days grace, korn, etc.
Therefore, I call your bullshit.
You claim in your post that what you say isn't an "attack", but rag'n on people for how they classify what they listen to is an attack. Some people take music seriously, as it is a very large portion of their life. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the point of this thread is to get people talking about what kind of music they like, not criticize people for misplacing a few bands in wrong categories.
To make you feel better about this and to not draw too much controversy to this post, don't take this as an attack. Ha ha ha, I bet this is what you were thinking when you wrote "don't take this as an attack". In all seriousness this is meant as an attack, well more of a rebuttle than an attack.
