#161891 Shrapnel Grenade

Posted by Shadowblade on 07 July 2008 - 09:52 PM in Homemades

I don't see any difference between this and the original barricade buster besides using reject Stefans, but it is a good idea for using those crap darts.



#182435 Small Wars Can Be Fun

Posted by Shadowblade on 08 October 2008 - 04:12 PM in Nerf Wars

That's nice...but, um, what was the point of starting a thread for that?



#165045 Nerf Grenade Idea

Posted by Shadowblade on 28 July 2008 - 09:18 PM in General Nerf

Yet another grenade idea...I'm sorry dude, mrcrouse1 is right, if there aren't any nerf products in it, it's not really a "nerf" grenade. So far, the Haven hasn't seen a working AND practical nerf grenade design (with the exception of the bunkerbuster design, which isn't used much anyways).

If you search for "nerf grenade", you'll see some tried-failed designs and several prototypes. Perhaps you could help improve on these actual nerf grenades. Enjoy your stay at the Haven!



#218477 Woodland Warfare

Posted by Shadowblade on 17 March 2009 - 04:04 PM in Nerf Wars

First thing first before a flame war starts. Please kindly read our Code of Conduct and fix your posting. The rest of the community would greatly appreciate it! :D Thanks in advance.

On topic: Where is Ellijay, GA? Georgia will be having two decent-sized wars in the next few months. Spring SENO is happening March 29 in Augusta. The SE Tune-Up War is happening April 11 in Savannah. You are always welcome to attend either/both of these wars. Drop us a post in the proper thread if you are interested.

If you intend on hosting a war soon, please get a planning thread up ASAP. We're lazy southerners, so the sooner we get notice of a war, the better our odds of attending. Details are always good.



#173670 Nitefinder Custom

Posted by Shadowblade on 30 August 2008 - 12:30 PM in Modifications

Kinda looks like a WWII Lugar.


In fact, some of us call this a luger'd NF. Just throwing that out there...I think the barrel's a little long for a NF, if I recall correctly, a 3-4" barrel is perfect for a NF, any longer may decrease range (due to friction). But who knows, it's your NF. I'll wait for the write-up before giving you any constructive critism...



#215000 South-east Nerf Contingent

Posted by Shadowblade on 25 February 2009 - 08:19 PM in Nerf Wars

Thanks a bunch Aside for organizing this!



#201442 Any Y'all Out There?

Posted by Shadowblade on 06 January 2009 - 11:58 AM in General Nerf

I think SirTofu is from the Atlanta area.



#186204 Universal Nerf Suppressor: Cosmetic Mod

Posted by Shadowblade on 29 October 2008 - 07:26 AM in Modifications

This has been done numerous times before (last time I saw one, it was on a Maverick with a front grip and stock haha). The only reason why there is no need for a formal write-up is because pretty much anyone can figure out how to paint a tube black and slap it onto a nerf gun.

Another thought, beyond cosmetic purposes, suppresors have very little use in nerf (unless you're using a hi-power air gun, but even then it's rarely used).

It looks good on the recon though...good job.



#186070 Are Their Any Wars In San Diego California?

Posted by Shadowblade on 28 October 2008 - 06:50 PM in Nerf Wars

I don't know, are there? If you use the Search feature, which is in the upper right hand corner, you can find out. You can pretty much find anything using the search feature, so use that first before you ask.

You can check out the Nerf Wars section of the forums or check the 2008 Nerf War Schedule for more info on upcoming wars. I hope these links helped.

Oh, and if you haven't already read The Code of Conduct, please do so, as it will extend your time here ;). Welcome to the Haven.



#171899 How To Modify A Recon.

Posted by Shadowblade on 23 August 2008 - 08:59 PM in Modifications

Um, your pictures aren't...pictures. Haha. You can't just paste them in like that. There's a little "Insert Image" button. That would help us out more.

Edit: Crap, Red Star beat me to it.



#226793 Mississippi War

Posted by Shadowblade on 28 April 2009 - 07:35 AM in Nerf Wars

I am trying to assemble a war for the few, the proud, the southern nerfers. I would like at least 20 people to be confirmed to be coming.

PLEASE POST,NO PMs'


If you get a warplanning thread going, us southern nerfers will have a better chance of attending. We like to have a few dates and times to work with. Is this your first time hosting a NIC war?



#279871 Absolutely Free Crossbow. I Decided To Give It Away...

Posted by Shadowblade on 09 July 2010 - 07:59 PM in Modifications

You dumbass. If you're going to do a Rick Roll of some sort, at least change the link name. Everyone can see the Youtube address.

Trolls ahahaha.



#245753 South East Nerf Wars?

Posted by Shadowblade on 06 August 2009 - 07:01 AM in Nerf Wars

is there any nerf wars in georgia or south tenn


As NerfRogue83 has posted, we just finished Season of Foam - Augusta this week and there is a war about to happen in Florida. Georgia plays host to the bi/tri-annual SouthEast Nerf Out which is held either in Augusta or Savannah. If you are interested, keep checking the Nerf War Schedule for updates and new wars.

EDIT: And this is the SEARCH function Talio kindly alluded to. Use it. It helps a lot. Talio was surprisingly nice.



#153151 Doubleshot Trouble -pics Included

Posted by Shadowblade on 25 April 2008 - 07:35 PM in Modifications

HOLY COW...wat did you do to that barrel??? Haha. I agree with Salmon. You might want to check where you're cutting, otherwise you may have to cut through the screw (which won't be that much fun, but looks like you don't have much of a choice.) Or maybe you just need to keep going at it, perhaps with a hacksaw.

As for the internals, a lot of ppl seem to have problems with this gun. I have two DS myself. Just make sure you put EVERYTHING back where it came from. Make sure the springs are all there.

As a side note...I wouldn't bother even trying to fix the gun now...not in that condition, but you can try.



#244774 Sofa-cool Down...

Posted by Shadowblade on 30 July 2009 - 08:46 PM in Nerf Wars

Aw poo :( ......I can't make this because school starts up the Friday before (which is retarded....).

Hope the war goes well!



#187107 My Longshot

Posted by Shadowblade on 02 November 2008 - 08:28 PM in Modifications

OK I said what price would you pay the reason why I am asking is because ,this is my first mod, ok now think what to say before you post second I am young so don't be harsh


I agree with those above, this did not warrant its own topic.
I sure hope you're 13 and you start fixing your posting. You have been PM'd. Let's try to avoid an admin special here...

DO NOT POST ANYMORE. LET THIS THREAD DIE.

EDIT: It died...thanks OMC



#207209 Pc Virus Problem

Posted by Shadowblade on 28 January 2009 - 12:57 PM in Off Topic

Last night, as I was working diligently on my essays for class, my desktop PC froze. Whoopdeedoo, so I restarted it and it got all the way to loading the wallpaper and stopped...I shut down and tried again a few minutes later but it would not get any further than loading the wallpaper. However, the task manager does pop up when I hit CTRL ALT DEL. There are no tasks shown and the processes look normal. What the mess is going on???

I have narrowed it down to two possibilities:
- my hard drive crashed (which I doubt...)
- a virus (probably a trojan) attacked

Does anyone have any experience dealing with such a problem? I plan on running it on safe mode when I get home to check it out and running an anti-malware (suggestions?).

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.



#143059 Problems With Converted Taggers In Ls

Posted by Shadowblade on 28 February 2008 - 06:59 PM in Modifications

Well I've done the basic mods on my LS (AR, stuff like that) and I haven't done the superclip mod, so it probably is my dart. I'll play around with the darts a little bit and see if I can get them to work...and I'll stop storing my darts in the clips (I usually leave them in there just in case I get ambushed). Thanks a lot for the advice!



#159363 Augusta War 2

Posted by Shadowblade on 16 June 2008 - 03:21 PM in Nerf Wars

Due to some people wanting another war (me included) here in Augusta, GA, my clan will try to plan another war in late July. I'm glad that there are some people in this area that want to nerf that badly haha.

The 19th and the 26th of July have been mentioned as possible dates for this war. Anyone who is interest please say so and post any dates that are good for you. This is help make planning a lot smoother for us.



#159546 Augusta War 2

Posted by Shadowblade on 17 June 2008 - 08:29 PM in Nerf Wars

This post is now inactive. Futher planning for this war will be on this post.



#207408 Pc Virus Problem

Posted by Shadowblade on 28 January 2009 - 08:58 PM in Off Topic

I've had AVG 8.0 Free Edition for a while and updated it consistently, but apparently that program sucks. I ran SpyBot S&D and managed to find a good amount of malware. However, my desktop is still screwy. At this point, I'm fairly sure it is an infection, but I'm not ruling out a HD malfunction.

I am unable to get Windows Explorer to open (actually, it opens for a second then closes). I'll run some commands from the prompt next if MalwareBytes doesn't help.

UPDATE: I think I figured out and fixed the problem. Thanks everyone who helped me out!

A little searching goes a long way :o

#226279 Nerf N-strike Swords

Posted by Shadowblade on 26 April 2009 - 05:52 PM in Nerf Wars

On swords: If you quite literally bring a knife to a gun fight, the outcome is predictable.


Unless you're playing SENO HvZ :lol: But that's a different story...

CS answered the question, let's let this thread die.



#220575 Spring Seno Recap

Posted by Shadowblade on 29 March 2009 - 08:41 PM in Nerf Wars

I'd like to thank everyone who made it out to Spring SENO. It was a great kickoff to the nerfing season. I hope to see all of you again for Summer SENO and SOFA!

War recap:
Pros
-Being able to nerf after three idle months of winter
-Good performances from all of my guns
-Effeminate last stand with my Longshot during the modified HvZ round
-Beautiful weather
-Almost successfully sneaking the flag during CTF
-Nerfing

Cons
-Crappy stefans. Gotta convert to CS stefans soon.
-Going to bed know I'm gonna be sore tomorrow morning (but it was definitely worth it).

I hope everyone had fun. SouthEast nerfing is going to be ballah this year. Hears to another year of nerf! Nerf on.



#142944 Problems With Converted Taggers In Ls

Posted by Shadowblade on 27 February 2008 - 10:10 PM in Modifications

Hey everyone, I'm new and this is my first post (my thanks goes to admins for validating me) and I'm not sure if this should go in the Mods section because I'm using modded darts but please move if needed.

I am currently using Converted Tagger Darts in my LS (because they're cheaper than Streamlines) but once in every two or three clips or so the dart will jam up in the LS. I opened it up once to unjam the thing and found the dart doubled over and jammed into the barrel. Is anyone else having these problems or is it just my dart/clip/LS?



#234443 What Gun Do You Hate The Most?

Posted by Shadowblade on 05 June 2009 - 12:28 PM in General Nerf

You.

/thread


AWWWWWW I hate you too. ;)


That wasn't funny at all. Renegade was hinting that this thread really shouldn't have been created in the first place. The Haven does not like "What Gun Do You Like/Hate The Most" threads at all. For future reference to all newer members, please do not start threads like this one, as they are neither entertaining nor beneficial to the NIC.

End thread.

#178475 Most Popular Games At Nerf Wars

Posted by Shadowblade on 20 September 2008 - 07:17 PM in General Nerf

All of the ones mentioned plus (well at SENO anyways) HvZ, VIP Escort, and Gunslinger.



#184449 The Massive Tsunami Scatter Gun

Posted by Shadowblade on 18 October 2008 - 07:15 PM in Modifications

To make the spread more effective, you could shotgun load the barrels with 3 or 4 1" stefans. By doing so, you up your chances even more of hitting someone, with a slight loss in range of course. Some of us already do this with other airguns (but I found that all guns with enough volume will do this, like NFs).

If I ever get my hands on a BBBB...



#168232 Recon Question

Posted by Shadowblade on 11 August 2008 - 08:36 PM in General Nerf

Good grammar and spelling! Yay, we actually have a few decent new peeps! Welcome to the Haven!
The black piece doesn't affect the range of the recon. Well, at least in my clan's recons. That black piece is just a cover for the plunger arm. The newer recons all have this piece.

Woot. 100 posts.



#166716 Question About Stefans

Posted by Shadowblade on 05 August 2008 - 08:19 AM in Nerf Wars

Yeah, the pre-loaded barrels are a good idea. I used this exact tactic for SENO, by shotgun loading my barrels with three really short stefans. This is good idea if your gun has enough power to propel all the darts. I use this in my converted hi-power watergun, but recently found out my cpvc'd-doubled spring NF is also able to do this (at a lost of 5-10 ft, but hey, it's a shotgun now). It's pretty devastating.



#159370 Rainbow Six Vegas 2

Posted by Shadowblade on 16 June 2008 - 03:49 PM in Off Topic

UMP45 w/ a rifle scope or G36 w/ ACOG for general purposes. G3 or SCAR with 6x scope for longer ranges. MG36 with super stock for machine gun. Mk23 w/ extended clip as a side arm.



#143483 Titan With A Twist

Posted by Shadowblade on 02 March 2008 - 05:01 PM in Modifications

Very nice. I like the integration idea and the use of the plunger tube for the breech. I'm assuming based on your opinion that the breech is sealed very tightly. Distances? I want to try something like this on my converted watergun barrel.

Again, a very good idea.



#175443 Augusta Laser War

Posted by Shadowblade on 06 September 2008 - 04:30 PM in Off Topic

Okay...that was pointless ---^
Um, I don't think you're gonna travel across the country to play one match of laser tag in Augusta. But it's nice that someone else cares about what's happening in the SE. :lol:

Given the choice between laser tag and indoor nerf, I still like indoor nerf. Just my opinion, but a party sounds fun ;)



#172441 Which Barrel

Posted by Shadowblade on 25 August 2008 - 09:25 PM in Modifications

Wait, 90ft flat? What kind of spring did you add to your LS? I can't imagine a non-Angel Breech LS getting that much range...and I second .Z4's suggestion.



#170117 Which Longshot?

Posted by Shadowblade on 17 August 2008 - 09:11 PM in Modifications

That green paint job reminds me of Master Chief's armor. I would keep that one (only because I like it :D )



#166013 Homemade Bolt Action Rifle

Posted by Shadowblade on 02 August 2008 - 03:08 PM in Homemades

Nice bullpup design, but I have a few questions. How do you prime the gun? I mean, does the bolt assembly also cock the gun or does the plunger have it's own priming system? Perhaps you can make your write up more specific as well, like parts (and instructions).

I know you haven't finished the gun and obtained ranges yet, but those would be nice to know. Good job! :D



#228406 Rotating Bolt Design.

Posted by Shadowblade on 05 May 2009 - 08:16 PM in Homemades

First off, welcome to the Haven.

Some housekeeping things, could you please clean up your posting a little? I realize you're new here, so I won't eat you alive. Little things like capitalization make people happy here. You should read The Code of Conduct as it will guide you and extend your stay here. If you have questions, you should >> Search << first. If you cannot come up with anything after an EXTENSIVE search, you can ask it here on the forums. Doing so helps keep the forum clear of unnecessary threads that take up space. Thanks much.

Now onto your request. If you search "boltsniper" in Google, his webpage is the first hit. It has everything related to his work. A quick look around the site resulted in this: FAR designs. Hope that helped some.

EDIT: Carbon beat me by a clear 3 minutes.



#166947 ?

Posted by Shadowblade on 06 August 2008 - 08:30 PM in General Nerf

Oh, sorry. The Haven has an "Awareness" section? I didn't see one/know of one. What do you plan on posting?

They have this: Nerf Product Awareness System in the General Nerf section...you're probably talking about something I've never heard of before...



#166049 Homemade Bolt Action Rifle

Posted by Shadowblade on 02 August 2008 - 08:48 PM in Homemades

Looks cool!

I have a couple of questions...

Does it prime via a spring? And if so what kind?
Also are you shells going to be cpvc or brass?

-Upperhand


I can't answer your second question because it's not my gun, but I think I know the answer to the first one. Judging from the trigger, it looks kinda like Carbon's SNAP-type design, but as to which spring I have no idea. Correct me if I'm wrong MoonMaster.
