#63980 Toast To Everyone's Favorite Hawaii Nerfer

Posted by Jakethesnake on 19 September 2005 - 09:10 PM in Off Topic

Let's not make him feel too old.



#50811 Itunes

Posted by Jakethesnake on 27 March 2005 - 11:20 PM in Off Topic

No, you can't transfer music from your ipod onto another computer, you can download songs onto your ipod from any computer, but you can't transfer those to other computers.



#51807 Grrr At My Jeans.

Posted by Jakethesnake on 06 April 2005 - 11:19 PM in Off Topic

Certain jeans just rub off a little bit of color when they're new. Try washing them a few times, like someone else said, should get rid of the problem.



#66845 Alternative Barrel Material

Posted by Jakethesnake on 30 October 2005 - 11:49 PM in General Nerf

Those are generally too short for any kind of "effective" blaster.



#53251 Tire Stems

Posted by Jakethesnake on 23 April 2005 - 12:41 AM in Homemades

Yeah, I work at a gas station, they do tire work, and if you ask, we usually have tons just lying around, they may even give them to you for free.



#63298 Need 1500 Mod.

Posted by Jakethesnake on 07 September 2005 - 10:28 PM in Modifications

Very nice clean writeup man, the NIC needs more people like you, and less people like the title.



#52306 Real Player - Owned

Posted by Jakethesnake on 11 April 2005 - 11:35 PM in Off Topic

I have, it usually is pretty fast for me, but I've only used it sparingly.



#57249 Micro Mega Darts

Posted by Jakethesnake on 11 June 2005 - 12:44 PM in Modifications

but you don't have the time to get all the materials


You would still need materials for your method too. I believe these are called webby darts, correct me if I'm wrong.



#54189 Ebay: Jurassic Park Blaster

Posted by Jakethesnake on 05 May 2005 - 12:50 AM in General Nerf

Like what...



#54031 Ebay: Jurassic Park Blaster

Posted by Jakethesnake on 02 May 2005 - 05:25 PM in General Nerf

Since he said his sons bought them at universal studios, I doubt very many people have them, and you probably just ruined your chance of winning them by showing all of us that auction.



#49879 New Member

Thank you for that, enlightening bit of information.

Hey, i'm new to this site although i've been a frequent member of nhq for quite some time, just wanting to introduce myself to you guys.



#66682 Wild Fire Problem

Posted by Jakethesnake on 27 October 2005 - 11:57 PM in Modifications

I'm going to guess it's a faulty check valve; you MAY have to replace your pump.

~ompa

Ompa is exactly right, the check valve is broken, there's nothing to trap the air in the tank once it's primed, it just flows back out. I've never had that problem with my WF before so I'm not sure how to fix it but you can't really break it anymore, so just poke around in there and see what you come up with.



#66684 Styling Glue Help

Posted by Jakethesnake on 28 October 2005 - 12:31 AM in Modifications

I dunno about that, but I was using super glue the other day, and accidentally dripped some on my shoelaces and they started on fire, I'm not even joking, my shoelaces started smoking and I touched them with my hand and it burnt me, I'm not sure why this happened but it was the craziest thing ever.



#68184 Support Our Troops

Posted by Jakethesnake on 24 November 2005 - 02:39 AM in Off Topic

Thank you veggie and to all the armed forces, it's too easy for us to forget you guys, I'm so thankfull that you guys are out there doing that, much appreciation. We take it for granted too often. Have a great thanksgiving.



#61941 I Use Berries For Ammo.

Posted by Jakethesnake on 14 August 2005 - 07:49 PM in General Nerf

Just use like blackberries or something, they'll get all mushy and stuff but there's no arguing as to whether or not you got hit because they will leave a huge berry stain on the clothes.



#54795 Potato Cannons

Posted by Jakethesnake on 13 May 2005 - 03:35 PM in Off Topic

I built a 5 1/2 ft trebuchet in shop class in high school, it shot pretty good, but the floating arm ones are better. Bolt, how big was yours?



#67488 Armageddon '06.

Posted by Jakethesnake on 11 November 2005 - 07:56 PM in Nerf Wars

I'm coming for sure, just to clarify things.



#67669 Open Nerf

Posted by Jakethesnake on 15 November 2005 - 02:17 AM in Off Topic

How come the site is down? Don't tell me it committed suicide already.



#63856 Triple Pump Tubed At2k

Posted by Jakethesnake on 18 September 2005 - 06:45 PM in Modifications

I posted this modification on nhq, but for those of you who do not browse the forums over there, here is my triple pump tubed At2k (that's the best name I could come up with, sorry). The idea here is to make three pump tubes instead of the normal single one. If all goes right, the number of pumps it takes to prime the gun should be significantly less. I used two 1/2" pieces of pvc to make the extra pump tubes. The plunger shafts are 1/2" cpvc and the makeshift plungers are o-rings surrounded by a few wraps of electrical tape. Enough said, it takes about 2 pumps to prime the air tank. Here are the pics.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, the vinyl tubing plugs in directly to the end of the original pumpshaft right before the one-way rubber valve.



#63897 Triple Pump Tubed At2k

Posted by Jakethesnake on 19 September 2005 - 12:19 AM in Modifications

PissBacon: The resistance is moderate, there is some but really with only two pumps you don't really notice it that much because you barely have to pump and you're done.

Tucker: I used 1/2" "thin walled" pvc, I think you're thinking of the thicker stuff.

edit PissBacon, I forgot to mention, I attatched the pump tubes with super glue. I first sanded the shell of the gun then the part of the pvc that would contact the gun. By sanding it I took away the smooth oily finish that nerf guns are notorious for and the bond between the at2k and the pump tubes is extremely strong.



#55100 Any Aquarists In The House?

Posted by Jakethesnake on 17 May 2005 - 04:23 PM in Off Topic

Yeah I know, but they've been in there for about a week and are doing well, I put plants and stuff up top for them to hide in.



#55092 Any Aquarists In The House?

Posted by Jakethesnake on 17 May 2005 - 03:36 PM in Off Topic

Ten gallon tank

3 female guppies

Cobbers: I finally found those black pegs, if you still want them pm me with your addy and I can mail them to you.



#54988 Family Guy - Season Four

Posted by Jakethesnake on 16 May 2005 - 12:14 AM in Off Topic

I think TV is become more and more crude, not to sound like my grandma, but I cringe at the thought of what my children will be watching 20 years down the road.



#66063 Oregon Nerf War

Posted by Jakethesnake on 18 October 2005 - 11:06 AM in Nerf Wars

I'm about an hour and a half away from portland so I could make it for sure.



#53772 Secret Shot Mod²

Posted by Jakethesnake on 29 April 2005 - 10:18 AM in Modifications

Micros, they fit super tight in the barrel if that has anything to do with it. (I think it does)



#53763 Secret Shot Mod²

Posted by Jakethesnake on 29 April 2005 - 12:24 AM in Modifications

30-40 ft? I just single barreled mine (cpvc) and it gets 60 ft flat, it's amazing, I like it better than nite finders.



#68083 Crossfire Review

Posted by Jakethesnake on 21 November 2005 - 01:29 AM in General Nerf

Hasbro let us try out the crossfire at maniac 2 and here's what I have to say about it.




#50159 How Sad.....

Posted by Jakethesnake on 21 March 2005 - 03:32 PM in General Nerf

HA! 70 ft. what has this guy been smoking...



#56345 Nba

Posted by Jakethesnake on 02 June 2005 - 01:15 AM in Off Topic

A couple years ago they changed the format of the playoffs and decided to stretch the games out, particularly at this point in the playoffs where there's only, well, 3 teams as of tonight :lol: (go spurs!!!!) But I think their new format sucks horribly, the finals used to be over by this time but now they're not even started, granted sometimes things go longer because the series are taken to 7 games, but they also changed the first round from best out of 5 to best out of 7, that also didn't help shorten things.



#56044 Nba

Posted by Jakethesnake on 30 May 2005 - 02:21 PM in Off Topic

Spurs will take it all the way, they are way too solid of a team with tim to lose.



#57911 Meh Bitchin' Nf

Posted by Jakethesnake on 21 June 2005 - 11:39 PM in Modifications

Close, but that's just a drawing, I hardly think that counts.



#68978 Question About The Far

Posted by Jakethesnake on 10 December 2005 - 11:43 AM in Homemades

But making a working airsoft rifle is way better than having mommy buy you one.



#69505 Party Poppers

Posted by Jakethesnake on 19 December 2005 - 12:00 AM in Homemades

I'm pretty sure they just disected the party popper and took the spring out of it, I had a couple of them and the springs had some pretty good power to them.



#57397 Do You Like?

Posted by Jakethesnake on 13 June 2005 - 12:22 AM in General Nerf

I think the handle is tilted too far back a bit, but otherwise, nice job. Did you just use like MS paint for that?



#81823 Team Stealth's Nerf Website

Posted by Jakethesnake on 14 May 2006 - 05:53 PM in General Nerf

That's not even your idea! Tidge came up with that, I hope you got permission from him to post that because you didn't even mention his name in your "writeup".



#64718 Knockoffs(canada)

Posted by Jakethesnake on 01 October 2005 - 12:29 AM in General Nerf

Could you show us some pics though please?



#53309 Stefan Making Tip

Posted by Jakethesnake on 24 April 2005 - 12:52 AM in General Nerf

About the flat tip dart/pain theory, think of it like this, the dome tipped darts are like doing a cannon ball in the water, it doesn't hurt to jump in, but a flat tipped dart is like a belly flop, it hurts like a mother, so, I think flat tips would hurt more, but again, that's just my theory.



#62700 Hexadecimal

Posted by Jakethesnake on 29 August 2005 - 01:26 AM in Off Topic

Yeah, I've never even heard of it.
