#342029 Happy Birthdays!

Posted by Gears on 18 September 2014 - 01:57 AM in Off Topic

Happy birthday to my Nerf boyfriends, JLEGO and COOP! I love you both! Stay sexy~



#348877 Happy Birthday Langley

Posted by Gears on 28 September 2015 - 08:43 AM in Off Topic

Good Morning Everyone.

Let's come together and wish over overload of foam, Langley, a happy birthday and that his wildest wishes come true.



#266856 Fbr

Posted by Gears on 25 February 2010 - 11:52 AM in Off Topic

I've been pretty happy with the stuff my local big name hardware store carries. It's called Frost King and generally has a nice fit in CPVC. However, if you get lucky, you can sometimes find a bag that fits PETG. Maybe brass. It's really a gamble with it, you know?



#166729 Something I Found On Ebay, This Intrests Me

Posted by Gears on 05 August 2008 - 10:09 AM in General Nerf

That's alright. I think your answer would be that the reason a NIB XBow would go for more, or less, is because of the winners modding ability, or if they get it for a collection. An already modded weapon would go for more or less, for the same reasons.

#348504 SCSNW TACTIFOAM

Posted by Gears on 24 August 2015 - 03:36 PM in Nerf Wars

Posted Image

Come and celebrate the six month anniversary of the SCNW Club, Chicago's premiere group of superstock war-goers and enthusiasts.

This event will be a first for us, an indoor war at Laser X, located approximately thirty minutes outside Chicago, a multifloor laser tag arena where we will be free to fling foam and run exciting CQB games. Because this is a private venue, there is a price per head, which will not exceed $30. The attendance level will be what determines if the price declines, but expect to either pay $30 at the door, or Paypal ahead of time.

Who: The Southwest Chicago Suburban Nerf Wars Club
What: Indoor Laser Tag Arena, Nerf Blasters, Good Times
Where: Laser X, Addison IL
When: Sunday, September 6th, from 8am-2pm
How (much): This is a paid event. $30 a head for a six hour block on rounds.

Rules: General superstock fare. Darts will be provided courtesy of the SCSNW Club. Yes, your Vortex and Rival blasters are fair game.

I think this is going to be a fun war.



#347457 SLUGS AND MAGNETS

Posted by Gears on 26 June 2015 - 04:22 PM in Modifications

This is probably the worst thing I have read in a long fucking time.

Like, Putting-A-Manta-On-A-Crossbow level of garbage.



#342215 Tactical vest

Posted by Gears on 01 October 2014 - 08:57 AM in Off Topic

You can use a lot of Condor gear for cheap. It's all pretty modular, and you just need to find a style you really like. When I was a young nooblet I too experimented extensively with chest rigs and vests while playing HvZ, but have since moved on to thigh panels and battle belts.



#348598 SCSNW TACTIFOAM

Posted by Gears on 31 August 2015 - 03:34 PM in Nerf Wars

One week to go, dudes. I hope everyone is pumped for the imminent Sandstorm.



#346879 Raider Rifle

Posted by Gears on 22 May 2015 - 01:25 PM in Modifications

Extra nice. Solscud007 did something similar using a Longstrike and a UMB a couple years ago.

This is exactly the sort of blaster Nerfers should be bringing to their first NIC event. Simple, effective, and with some thrifting, all under $25.



#278675 Longshot / Maverick Integration

Posted by Gears on 26 June 2010 - 11:49 PM in Modifications

Made mine super long time ago, except I used industrial velcro so I always had the option of removing the Maverick for tight quarters.

#355341 3D Printed Big Blast Triggers

Posted by Gears on 02 August 2016 - 09:07 PM in Homemades

Thank you so much for putting these together! I'll try and have a couple printed before Apoc this weekend!




#356055 S.C.S.N.W. presents... The Fall of Foam 2

Posted by Gears on 02 October 2016 - 10:59 PM in Nerf Wars

What about V I Pizza?




#344598 Hosting an RV resort event

Posted by Gears on 26 January 2015 - 01:04 PM in Off Topic

You have my attention.

As far as games as large as these go, I think your best bet would be to keep it cool, relaxed, and casual for the players who most certainly are not even aware of modified blasters. It has been my experience in playing HvZ the past five years that for every one dedicated player, there are a dozen players who treat HvZ as a social event, and less the faux-larp it should be.

It may be best to simply keep all blasters bone stock, with the exception of external accessories (slings, lights, etc...). Depending on when this happens, and the size of the event, I may be willing to make the trek over for it.



#356945 SCS (Suction Cup Slug)

Posted by Gears on 29 November 2016 - 03:18 PM in Darts and Barrels

Do you have any chrono data comparing these to other forms of slugs?




#342424 Attention Chicago Area Nerfers

Posted by Gears on 15 October 2014 - 08:21 PM in Nerf Wars

Hey guys! I'm looking to host a war in the Chiraq area within the next month or so. I know you guys are out there, I just don't know why you aren't doing anything, I'm willing to host a war if you guys can feed me the parks you frequent, as I just don't have the time to scout any myself. I work in the Bolingbrook area, so I'm willing to travel as far south of the city as that.



#348997 Tacticool Chest Rig

Posted by Gears on 08 October 2015 - 01:11 PM in General Nerf

Nerf magazines will not fit M4 pouches.

They will fit AK/7.62s doe.



#346770 Nerf Army recruiting question?

Posted by Gears on 15 May 2015 - 08:40 AM in Site Feedback

Where are you located? I'd love to squash you out with my Nerf army before yours takes off.



#324158 Big Blast Hopper Problem

Posted by Gears on 05 December 2012 - 08:16 PM in Modifications

Definitely sounds like the length of your darts. I use airguns almost exclusively, and my stefans are never shorter than 1 1/4 inches. Anything less will probably cause doublefeeds.



#272953 Scano 3 Video

Posted by Gears on 21 April 2010 - 09:56 PM in Nerf Wars

You seem pretty happy when shooting people in the face.



#244814 Zombie Apocalypse

Posted by Gears on 30 July 2009 - 11:22 PM in Off Topic

I believe this is the forum you were looking for.



#347085 [IL] S.C.S.N.W. presents... "Foam, I am Your Father"

Posted by Gears on 08 June 2015 - 11:29 AM in Nerf Wars

Can we play more Chicago style pizza game?

Hell yeah!



#348574 OMW or Xplorer

Posted by Gears on 29 August 2015 - 08:20 PM in Modifications

Xplorer parts are most proprietary.

If you have the money to sling around, I would recommend an OMW kit. Very Elite-friendly.



#347947 UMB Raider

Posted by Gears on 20 July 2015 - 11:48 AM in Modifications

Looks clean, Gator.

I'm sad I won't get to see you at Apoc!



#347110 Is it rare for a stampede to say "STAMPEDE ECS-50" on the side

Posted by Gears on 10 June 2015 - 02:35 PM in General Nerf

Were they from an early production run? Any specifics would be appreciated.

I've been wondering the same thing, because the Stampede I own says the same thing. It's cool, because the ECS-50 is actually raised on the plastic, and not just painted on. I think you are maybe the second or third other person I have heard actually owning a Stampede like this.



#342070 Nerf Combat Creatures Terradrone

Posted by Gears on 19 September 2014 - 06:19 PM in General Nerf

Found this review on youtube. Looks good!

I don't know how to embed :(



#194313 Contra

Posted by Gears on 06 December 2008 - 12:57 PM in General Nerf

See for yourself.

Uwe Boll's Contra

And for anyone who doesn't know who Uwe Boll is, just Google him. The video is a parody from IGN on how horrible his films (based on video games) are. I'm also sure if you've actually played any of the "core" Contras before, you'll enjoy the video a lot more.



#303196 OMG!

Posted by Gears on 11 August 2011 - 06:19 AM in General Nerf

boygay.



#160868 The Guns Of 2008

Posted by Gears on 29 June 2008 - 10:53 AM in General Nerf

.I have Nerf is making every blaster again in green and one more color. I think it is red or purple.

Where the in the world did you hear that? I hope you're not referring to the Hulk Titan & Hornet set, because I'm pretty sure that that's just a promo gun. But if you are right, I need a green LS!



#346627 Indianerfolis 2015

Posted by Gears on 08 May 2015 - 10:45 AM in Nerf Wars

Kinda sorta interested (the park looks nice), but what's with the blaster rules? Titans and 3Bs are on totally different levels of acceptability, and aren't really comparable since no one really nerfs with a Titan anyway.

And what goes beyond "basic" stefans? Are slugs okay?

Or is this just a superstock event?



#338248 S.C.U.N.P.R.E.P. 2

Posted by Gears on 15 April 2014 - 03:32 PM in Nerf Wars

I'll bring a bunch of gear

;)

#169707 What Do You Think?

Posted by Gears on 16 August 2008 - 11:57 AM in General Nerf

Shouldn't this go in the paint jobs thread?

Oh well. I really like the look. Reminds me of the M41A PR used in the Aliens film.



#164909 Official Humans Vs. Zombies Forums Now Online!

Posted by Gears on 28 July 2008 - 08:39 AM in General Nerf

I really, really like this. I can imagine other topics to follow: Tactics, Weapon Reviews, and such. I plan starting my own game (if there isn't already one) when it's my time to move on to college, and this will probably have some cool stuff.

Those Recon HvZ shirts look great too.



#336078 Happy holidays

Posted by Gears on 26 December 2013 - 08:14 PM in News

I hope everyone has a rad end to 2013.

See you on the field in 2014!



#311743 Barrel break integration?

Posted by Gears on 23 February 2012 - 11:55 PM in Modifications

Yeah! Barrel Break integrations are cool but by no means will they throw darts super well. But I used Jerms write up on Nrev.

Posted Image

Doesn't Gears have a barrel break under his xbow? I would assume that would be about the same technique.


I like how that is your first post.



#338557 Need some help

Posted by Gears on 29 April 2014 - 07:01 PM in Homemades

Those are made for Magpul MOE rail sections.



#347136 Duke's Dayton Bunker Buster

Posted by Gears on 11 June 2015 - 08:02 AM in Nerf Wars

Looks cool, but with it falling right between SPANO and Apoc, I gotta pass.

Do you have pics of the warehouse? Is it multilevel, or just one big empty room?



#342847 REAL Banana Clip!

Posted by Gears on 13 November 2014 - 04:42 PM in General Nerf

I really kind of like these. No shame.

I'll pick up a few for the Spring HvZ season and see how they hold up. That blister pack look pretty dope. Hopefully they fit my Narrowbase kit?



#180815 Awesome Nerf Sighting

Posted by Gears on 01 October 2008 - 04:34 PM in Off Topic

That is hilarious! They used the firefly both as a gun and as their space ship. :mellow: Very fulotnny. They could have had a much better quality with a bit of animation. And by taking the sticker off of the battery she used as a stick shift.

Oh crap, I didn't even notice the Sulaco was a FF! I think that's the comedy of a sweded film though, it has a cheesy undertone full of intentional mistakes.



#180663 Awesome Nerf Sighting

Posted by Gears on 30 September 2008 - 04:21 PM in Off Topic

To get this out of the way for those who don't know, a "sweded" is basiclly a fan made movie.

I was on an Aliens (My personally favorite film ever) fansite I frequent a lot, and a user posted these.

Aliens: Sweded Edition Part 1

Aliens: Sweded Part 2

I noticed a few of the Colonial Marines in the movie were armed with Nerf blasters. The two I noticed were a Ballzooka and a really neat Firefly cosmetic mod. I thought they were pretty cool, and I thought someone on here might enjoy them as much as I did.

You'll also find this 100X awesomer if you have already seen Aliens before.
