I walked into it not really expecting them to make all the characters the way they are in the comics. In fact they probably could have and I wouldn't have known the difference. Looking at it just as a movie and not an X-Men movie, I thought there was a lot more they could have done with it. For example, the relationship between Wolverine and Sabertooth had a lot of potential that I think they kind of wasted, as well as that of Wolverine and Striker (or is it Stryker?). Also, all the green screen was a little over the top.
And I just really don't like Ryan Reynolds.

Did the gun work before you changed the batteries, or is this the first time you're trying to use it? I'm guessing that something just isn't connecting. Recheck to make sure you put everything in the correct way and that your batteries are good. If this is the first time you've tried to use it then you should just return it.
Also, do you have a chain in the gun? There's a safety catch that prevents the thing from firing if there's no chain in place.
Hope that helped.
Edit: Sorry CaptainSlug. I didn't mean to be a noob-enabler.

Wow, I had a great time! Awesome venue, awesome blasters, awesome people!
+ Doing MUCH better that I thought I would.
+ All the cool game types we played, including Defend the Core and One Flag Push.
+ My K9 Specialtribute knockoff getting a fair amount of praise.
+ Most of my previously un-field-tested guns working fairly well.
+ Finally meeting some other members of the NIC.
+ Getting to hold a crossbow (such as it was) for the first time, as well as seeing everyone elses' cool mods.
- The heat, my God the heat!
- My Titan shotgun not performing as well as I'd have liked.
- The fact that the SOF team couldn't come to see how we do!
All in all I can't wait for the next one! When can we see the group pic?

I'm pretty sure he means that he's worried about the dart not falling from the holder into the barrel by itself.
Fuzz, they don't need to go all the way in. They just have to be in enough so that they plug the back of the barrel so the air takes it along as it leaves the barrel. I recommend doing what Qui'lan Fett suggests. I've done the same thing with a cpvc rscb and it works really well.

-Where can I find an AR-15 Spring inside of a local lowe's?
I'm pretty sure the "AR-15" part means it's a spring that's used in an actual gun, namely the AR-15. So, I don't think Lowe's would have one. Look online.

It doesn't have to be copper. It just has to be something that your darts can slide through easily. I personally use 19/32 brass for the clip and 17/32 brass for the barrel, both placed inside 1/2 pvc and connected to a 1/2 pvc T, but that's because my darts slide effortlessly through 19/32 brass and are snug in 17/32. I know that lots of people use 1/2 inch copper and cpvc for the clip and barrel respectively, but 1/2 copper is too small for my darts. Use what works best for you. Experiment!

I don't think you're supposed to remove it. He says "The bolt will still be inside the bolt casing." So you just push it as far as you can into the plunger tube and cut at it from the back. To get the whole thing out you'd have to cut the bolt tube and glue it back together once you've removed the ar.

#249276 Question: Angel Breech

By stefan sleeve do you mean wrapping the streamline in something to make it's diameter larger? You could just modify the breech to use a barrel size that fits streamlines. However, I've never had a streamline shot more than 3 feet out of an angel breech. Also, you'd need to make the breech opening much bigger than normal to allow the streamlines to feed from the blah blah blah...
I don't think it would be worth it to be honest. If all your friends use stock darts then there's no real need to angel breech anything, as you aren't playing around with very long ranges.

So...I'm curious. I live in Massachusetts, but go to college in California. So 3/4 of the year I'm in SoCal, but 1/4 of the year I'm in MA. Is there any way to get the system to recognize that, or ought I just to put my location as where I am the majority of the time?
Also, if I change my location in my profile, will it change it on the map (might wind up in the Seattle area)?
I actually just dealt with a problem like this, having just moved back home after finishing college. All you need to do is change your location in your profile and then re enter your profile link thingie and it'll change your location on the map.

Serious edit: It's weird that he would get such specific information right, like Stefan Mohr's name and fact that people (used) to use Crayola barrels, but say strange things about brass tubing. I know some tacti-cool wannabes like to paint their blasters black, but does anyone really use brass or pvc in their darts?

I have used what is evidently known as an inline clip (loading several darts in a barrel), but the result was the expulsion of all darts at once as a shotgun, not in an automated, semi-predictable burst (the type of result one expects with the term "fully automatic").
Loading a bunch of darts into a barrel isn't an inline clip. That's called "shotgunning." An inline clip is where you have a section of larger tubing that holds the darts in between the air output and the actual barrel, such as 1/2" pvc (the clip) with 1/2" cpvc (the barrel) stuck into the end. It's like an rscb without the 90 degree and T couplers.
Like this:
-----------------------------------_______________________
_________________________--------------------------------
The darts go in the bigger tube, the gun is tilted down to load a dart into the barrel, shoot and repeat. Wes was using the Magstike to shoot out one dart at a time from the clip. He could have stopped before all the darts had been fired by letting go of the trigger, i.e a controlled burst.

Some of the stuff I've been working on lately:
Nerfing has given me ample opportunity for self-discovery. For example, through modding these two blasters, I've discovered that I'm turret retarded. I flat out ruined the sm1500's turret, and I got half way through messing up the Triple Shot before I realized I was ruining it and gave up. So, now they're just waiting for a wye shipment. Turrets are old news anyway, right?
The sm1500 pump has been replaced by a Hornet pump., and the Triple Shot has had all the vogue mods done to it, including a ls spring addition. Also, to cover the gaping hole left by removing the turret I hand-crafted myself a little cover:
The sm1500 will be getting the same treatment soon.

After seeing Banshee's awesome Defender Overhaul, I decided to try my first foray into replacement internals.
I used 6.75" of 1.25" PETG tube for the plunger tube, and 7" of [k26] spring. Like Banshee's, mine fires really super hard. It's really scary.

Just finished my Titan pump relocation:
To solve the problem of how to keep the pump from coming out of its tube, I cut off all but the back inch and a half of the pump piston and JB Welded some 1/2" cpvc into it. Then I puttied a 3/4" cpvc end cap with a 5/8" hole drilled into it onto the end of the pump tube. The cpvc goes through the hole in the end cap, but the pump head cannot, so problem solved!
The rscb is pretty straight forward. It holds seven darts.

Saw THIS last week and got inspired:
I used a larger, two stroke pump that fills the Titan tank in one in-out cycle.
The front bushing was puttied on in my earlier modding days, so it's not the cleanest, but it still works fine. This is a pretty easy thing to do overall. The Tec-Six trigger is perfect for fitting over the Titan firing pin. You just have to dremel a lot out of the shell. You lose a few screw posts in the process, hence the bolt through the top.

So I FINALLY get to post in this topic! Sorry for the crappy pic, but my camera is sick so I had to use my phone.
At the top is my version of the excellent K9 Special. It has a 7 1/2 inch barrel of 17/32 brass. The clip is 19/32 brass with a 5/8 section that slides over it to close the breech. It's pretty much awesome, though when I used it at the exSOF Topeka war I noticed that it always seemed to shoot right for the face...though that might not have been the gun....
Below that is my decrapified Mega Missile. I 86'd the shell and added a lsfg handle to the bottom of the pump. The lsfg trigger is attached to a keyring attached to the trigger valve of the Mega Missile. I just finished it today and I love it!
AAAAND, below that are my three gnarly Nightfinders. Nothing super special, the same kind everybody has.

*ahem* Sorry to be that guy, but it was Actually my idea. (You have to scroll down, it's the 8th post.)
On the subject of the trigger, I had the same problem when I had the whole thing in the original Mega Missile shell. I'd removed the little wall of plastic on the trigger that stops it at the back of its stroke so it would pull back farther, and that's when it started fouling up every time. Maybe the nitefinder trigger stroke is too long? My lsfg trigger doesn't travel very far at all and it hasn't not reset properly yet.
