Large Moose etc, if anyone sends me a friend request please attach a message so I know who you are, not just some random guy I've played against or something. Myr was our first clan that started Nov. 9, got to lvl 17 (16th best clan in the world at the time) and disbanded a while back. Light Strike is a new attempt, just friends from college and random online friends. Both of which are and were competitive, legit clans.
Anyways, I got Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and I'm getting warmed up on that. See you all online.

Get real, dude. Head to Head is chock full of standbyers, there is a 50% chance of hosting and only 1 possible person to report you for standbying. Cheaters are abundant in matchmaking, because of people who want to show off to their friends that they got an uber high level. When the update happens, standbying will be pointless and the levels will all balance out. Send me a friend request, my gamertag is Jangadance if you want to prove your "AWSOME LEVEL 41 SKILLZ!!" My friends and I made the legit clan Myr which got to 16th best clan in Majors. Playing without cheats is the only way to get better. Try it some time.

Yes, that's the Wrist Blitzer alright. http://www.nerfcente...ristBlitzer.htm
I have one too... And frankly, I don't think it's worth modding if you're gonna keep it on your wrist. If you really wanted to you could make it into a spring version SSPB. The plastic with velcro that holds it on doesn't feel very sturdy since there is only 1 strap. Also, I would find it hard to pump let alone hold a gun with that Wrist Blitzer strapped on. Still, it's one of those novel guns that it would be fun to see a mod for, with ranges.

I think you mean shrapnel. The problem with shrapnel is that it's a pain to clean up. That's why I'm not sure how effectively a grenade could be used in a Nerf war.the problem was that it didn't have as much spread as I wanted, and it didn't shoot the flak (is that what they are called?) pieces out very high...

#4706 Whiptail Scorpion Mod

Mrgrinch, I was looking for something a little more in depth. Anyhow, the Scorpion's plunger chamber is a decent size, I was hoping to increase the airflow to the barrel by installing a new tube in place of the green one that runs the length of the (removed) tail. I'm using 1/2" outer diameter vinyl tubing so I can push it directly into my new barrel- wherever that is going to go. The old tube was 1/4" O.D. Will this give the dart more velocity?

The Whiptail Scorpion functions like a basic spring gun- pull the plunger back with a lever. Except, in this case, you pull the lever forwards. The entire gun is basically reverse of a standard spring gun. Pull the head section forwards, then the air flow pushes out the back of the gun, up the tail, and through the nozzle at the tip of the tail. I think when I finish it will look a little like a modified NB-1, as far as where everything is layed out. The tail is usually aimed a bit high, but the gun pulls the air tube forwards when pressure is applied to the trigger. The basic flaw in this gun is that the tail never truly fires with the tail in the same place, and you fire low or high, depending.

Yeah, rubber banding and spring replacement are both necessary and obvious. Oh, and like you said, I'm not a newcomer to nerf in general; I've probably been playing for about 10 years now. Mainly, I was curious about any unique suggestions for barrel placement... And I suppose I could get some velcro that goes around your wrist and then epoxy the air tube onto it... The only problem is that likely I would want that hand to squeeze the Scorpion's trigger, so having a dart shoot out of that hand might get in the way of the gun. And when I squeeze that hand, the dart's trajectory might get altered by the flexing of my wrist. It's a unique idea, but I don't think that will work well. Besides, it would feel much better to have a gun shoot it, even though I could be Spiderman with darts otherwise. 
Also, extending the tubing might slow down the air flow, since it has to travel further. I'm not physicist but that seems reasonable to me. A bigger [edit-larger width] air tube would increase air flow, right? But is that what I want with a spring gun? It doesn't deliver all of its air at one time, since the plunger has to go down for it to completely deliver its air payload. Anyhow, tell me what you think. Thanks for the input guys!

Alright, first and foremost, don't think I'm a newb just because I want to mod this gun. I know it's crappy, that's why I want to try it. Where is the challenge in modding something that already has 25+ walkthroughs available on the internet? So, I took it apart, and I think it has some potential. I had a few questions that I would appreciate feedback on, however- a) obviously, the first step would be to change the innacurate scorpion tail to a barrel- any suggestions where to put it? The back is all ridged, so don't know what to do with it. 
I'm going to change the tubing since it looks simple enough. Bigger is better, right? I think I'll pick up some 1/2" vinyl tubing and have a go at it. That way, it will be an easy fit into the barrel.
Alright, other than that, wish me luck!

I wouldn't call it an infestation as much as outbreak. Now that NHQ is back up (usually), hopefully the outbreak here can be suppressed. Then, NH's forum can go back to a mellow 2-3 total posts daily, about the next big war, or whatever. I suppose an active forum is nothing if its only activity in nonsense. 
Still, I would rather deal with the ignorant newcomers if it means having newcomers in general.

Hey kiddos, Jangadance here- Venom looked me up to let me know too late that there's a badass MN war this weekend! Unfortunately, I work all day, so this one just won't work for me. Let me know ahead of time and I'll schedule some time off! I still have my armory http://video.google....311907293311762 and have returned to Minneapolis. Much has changed for me, including graduating from college, but I'm very enthusiastic about joining up with the local Nerf crews for a good ole romp through a public space with plastic toy guns.
I normally would have posted in a different forum, but since right now all I can and will commit to is actually NERFING (wow, that's a change, right you oldbies?) this seemed like the right forum. I don't really want the red goddamn carpet, but hopefully some people are still around (MN and elsewhere) that remember me. See you on the battlefield!!

Good to hear from ya -- looking forward to seeing you at future wars. We've been having one about every 3 weeks, so I assume another August/September war will be in the works after this Sunday.
Your airgun is silly and cool. I'm curious to see how the old timers do it. Who all is in the picture?
That was just my crew that I rolled in with to one of the last wars I went to. Me on the left, Lil Sneak with the fiendish dual NFs, Nervous Ninja has the barbarian Bow, and Mitch the H2H freak.
Actually, Saturdays don't work the best for me as a rule, but I'll try to make it work for NERF days.

I'm not even sure if we have Lowe's here in Minnesota, but this is what cxwq has to say.
"Steelworks brass (twice as thick, not machined as cleanly in my opinion) is available at Lowes and OSH. At Lowes it's generally towards the middle of the store near the small hardware parts and the key cutting area. At OSH it's generally towards the back near the springs (they have an excellent selection of useful springs as well) and the sheet metal."

It's my humble opinion that although the pumps are different, the airtanks on all the SM3ks are identical so you should be able to reach the same range on all of them, assuming you have a good seal on the barrels.
#17429 What Is Petg?

General Nerf
Ah, I may be mistaken but I think that includes shipping charges.
He sells his PETG for $1.25 a foot, and 8 feet of that would sell for $10. Since this stuff is light, shipping is really reasonable. I have used all sorts of barrel materials, and right now I think that the one with the most bang for tha buck is PETG. Brass is great, especially in spring guns, but you have to buy different sizes if you want to telescope it, adding to the confusion. Plus, depending on how big a chain you get your brass from, it can run anywhere from $2 a foot to $3.50 or so.
As other people have mentioned the ONLY benefit I can imagine brass has over PETG is maybe that you can telescope pieces inside each other. Oh, that and metal will always be cooler looking than clear plastic.
<edit> I sent a check to IR and disguised it as a love note so that the postman wouldn't steal my check, and he was so kind as to reciprocate and mark the package as if it were containing rods of beef jerky or some other consumable love-treat, as opposed to precious, exquisite PETG. Whatta guy. Shipping for my 10'-12' purchase (can't quite recall) was lower than $5, I know.

ALL the Supermaxx 3000's have wide pumps (which gives them too much surface area for the air pressure to push against) and weak pump handles. This blue version is possibly the worst case of this, but it is commonly agreed that Yellow > Blue > Green. If you don't know the difference, check out the Nerf Center reviews page.
Anyways, doesn't it say Supermaxx 3000 on the sticker on the yellow faux air tank?

I wonder which character I should be, though... A Hobbit would be the easiest, so I might do that. But it would be much more badass to be a human or an elf. Hmm, choices choices.

Another miracle...
I apologize if my earlier joke came across as offensive, I was thinking more of the fact that people should use their energy finding ways to help those around them (to live in Christ's image) rather than grasping for actual physical representations of his literal IMAGE. In all honesty, I do believe in praying. Not for myself, but if people want to use prayer-time to focus themselves on the things in their world which they are thankful for or that they want changed, that is great for them. Praying can be a source of personal empowerment, even though for some people by doing so it can be like you're putting the responsibility on a higher power to make things "happen". My joke was that people who believe that God is speaking to them through their sandwich need to re-examine their faith.
