#281857 Modification and Paintjob Pictures

Posted by Zack the Mack on 02 August 2010 - 01:10 PM in Modifications

Super Soaker Iron Man + 3K + bike pump + 5-dart breeched hopper + 14" brass barrel + 7" breeched barrel + N-Strike Rail + Pinpoint Sight = My Apoc primary.

Posted Image

Super Soak that ho.

Posted Image

The red dot sight isn't just for tacticool overkill - because of the air tank's orientation, it's impossible to aim down the barrel. The blaster's accurate enough for the optics to work.

There's NiteFinder in my Barrel Break! There's Barrel Break in my NiteFinder! It's the NiteBarrel BreakFinder!
Posted Image

Opens and closes one-handed!
Posted Image

Brass breech!
Posted Image

Prime both at the same time!
Posted Image

Fire barrels independently, just like the original!
Posted Image

Ranges are 25-45 (I'm using the original springs for now and can't find a good dart-barrel fit)
I'll make a write-up soon - making one of these is easier than you'd think.

Tactical PistolSplat! Yes, that Pinpoint Sight is e-taped on. Pic taken by Cheesy. It doesn't actually shoot - I don't know why.

Out with the old...

Aww, yeah, it's an Arctic Shock Nerf Super Soaker Iron Man!
Top barrel fires unicorns, bottom barrel launches the love of beautiful women.
Pump comes from a Titan, with a tee for ergonomic goodness.

Fun fact: You can hold both extra mags under your Stampede's top rail. Not really a mod...

#282072 Guide To Barrel Material

Posted by Zack the Mack on 04 August 2010 - 09:14 AM in Modifications

For now I will say: in OD it was like normal PVC the NIC has been using for ages, but it's ID doesn't fit megas, it fits micros, so 1/2" I recall it saying thick-wall on it, it was grey and near the electrical stuff.

It's Schedule 80 electrical conduit. Here's a link to the same stuff in 2" (The 1/2" isn't on Lowe's site).
EDIT: Split beat me to it.



#241230 Nj Apocalypse #8

Posted by Zack the Mack on 10 July 2009 - 01:20 AM in Nerf Wars

Oh, hell yes. I will be there with a cooler of Gatorade.



#245390 Nj Apocalypse #8

Posted by Zack the Mack on 03 August 2009 - 11:26 PM in Nerf Wars

Now THAT was a war. When my PistolSplats broke, I used my Signal Launcher. When I was too tired to pump the Signal Launcher, I used the LpL. I nerfed until I was ready to drop and then nerfed for three more rounds.

Highlights:
- Handling BadWrench's Lanard Shotgun, dropping it into the ground, and firing the divot
- Putting up with Faddle, then chasing him down in the last round
- Buying that delicious LpL from Koree
- Explaining how an RSCB works about 5 times
- Inventing and playing Titan Football
- Hookah
- Insane RSCB-fueled killing spree with Koree (Victims included JLego, FA, and plenty of 4B's)
- Reuniting with Ice, Gears, JLego, Koree, Mutton, et al
- Consuming 9 bottles of water, 3 bottles of Gatorade, a king-size BK drink...
- Defending against the entire team in Resurrection Forest using an LpL
- The only tacticool word we know is 'flank'
- Firing the Signal Launcher without closing the RSCB, then getting shot
- Watching [forgot your name] rebuild a singled Longshot in the field
- Mutton's ridiculous head wound
- My Gunslinger partner and I getting tapped in a drive-by
- Getting nailed in the head by Gears in Resurrection Forest
- Getting lost in the woods
- Facing off against The Original Doomsayer, and shooting FA 3 times anyways
- Dodging a firing squad of 4B's. Originality, people!
- Firing 100 darts in one round... from an LpL
- Meeting the canucks, Mag7, and the LGLF
- Did I mention shooting Faddle?

Kruhl... whatever, great war. Really well-planned, awesome attendance, bombastic atmosphere. See y'all at GnomeFest!



#291932 Beltway Bedlam

Posted by Zack the Mack on 31 December 2010 - 02:56 PM in Nerf Wars

It doesn't matter if I'm in a wheelchair, if there is another war at UMD, I will be there.

For the goobers: Don't make a war decision based on whether or not you have the right blaster. Even if you don't, someone will be able to lend you one.



#275508 Nj Apocalypse 2010

Posted by Zack the Mack on 21 May 2010 - 07:22 PM in Nerf Wars

The Stevens crew is rolling out! I'll be there with 3+ friends. This will definitely be the highlight of the summer.



#280047 Nj Apocalypse 2010

Posted by Zack the Mack on 12 July 2010 - 01:34 PM in Nerf Wars

Yes, I'm going.
Yes, this war will be excellent.
Yes, I'm looking forward to re-connecting with everyone.



#260760 Longstrike Cs-6 Revealed

Posted by Zack the Mack on 05 January 2010 - 12:55 PM in General Nerf

Don't think about it, saw that shit open, baby!

At least give us a pic of the butt of the blaster when it's cocked, so we can see that skin-chafing, recall-inducing inverted plunger tube.



#260931 Deploy Cs-6 Sneak Peek

Posted by Zack the Mack on 06 January 2010 - 12:04 PM in General Nerf

Kevinerecon or another Chinese speaker, could you translate the text in the Deploy page for us? I'm sure there's more information we can tease out.



#260889 Deploy Cs-6 Sneak Peek

Posted by Zack the Mack on 06 January 2010 - 12:08 AM in General Nerf

I found a listing on a Chinese[?] auction site for the Deploy. More pics and angles, check that out.



#260863 Deploy Cs-6 Sneak Peek

Posted by Zack the Mack on 05 January 2010 - 10:26 PM in General Nerf

I'll be the first one to say it - this thing looks nothing like a fucking flashlight.

EDIT: Cool aperture sight in the handle. Didn't notice it at first.



#260872 Deploy Cs-6 Sneak Peek

Posted by Zack the Mack on 05 January 2010 - 10:40 PM in General Nerf

Kevinerecon broke news of the Longstrike, Deploy, Flip Clip, AND the Element Action Kit. What's your source?



#267588 The Grid Code Indoor Arena War

Posted by Zack the Mack on 02 March 2010 - 12:28 PM in Nerf Wars

I'll ask the other Stevens guys if they're interested, that could add up to 6.



#267081 The Grid Code Indoor Arena War

Posted by Zack the Mack on 26 February 2010 - 07:39 PM in Nerf Wars

I'm up for it any week in April. Talio, could the owners send you some indoor pics so we can figure out which blasters to use?



#260007 Battle For New York 4

Posted by Zack the Mack on 28 December 2009 - 06:30 PM in Nerf Wars

Yeah, I'm worried about the weather as well. Is there a snow date, or will the war go on regardless of weather?

And Cheesy, there's no such thing as too many darts. I typically run through about 300 per war, but I'm not big on the whole 'aiming' thing. You'll want at least 30 per round, and count on losing them all.



#259746 Battle For New York 4

Posted by Zack the Mack on 25 December 2009 - 01:02 PM in Nerf Wars

I'll also be bringing some nice finished blasters and interesting parts to trade.

Lucian, I can sell you some Stefans. They're Frost King foam with 1/4" BB's, perfect fit in 17/32, loose in PETG, and a bit tight in CPVC. I charge $15 for 50, or $25 for 100.



#259319 Battle For New York 4

Posted by Zack the Mack on 18 December 2009 - 03:22 PM in Nerf Wars

My guns are in in a state of horrible disrepair at the moment

At least you have a working NiteFinder...



#257860 Battle For New York 4

Posted by Zack the Mack on 02 December 2009 - 09:17 PM in Nerf Wars

I'll be there if the weather is decent and I'm not hungover my hangover won't interfere with my aim.



#260139 Battle For New York 4

Posted by Zack the Mack on 29 December 2009 - 10:20 PM in Nerf Wars

We need a zombie round, otherwise the stock raider will serve no purpose.

Doesn't matter what you're playing, stock Raiders never serve a purpose :)



#259731 Battle For New York 4

Posted by Zack the Mack on 25 December 2009 - 02:05 AM in Nerf Wars

I now have like 7 primaries and 500 darts. You can change me to a definite. Lucian, I'll have enough weapons to equip your buddy when he comes to his senses.



#260264 Battle For New York 4

Posted by Zack the Mack on 31 December 2009 - 11:57 AM in Nerf Wars

Skitzo, I have tons of slingshot ammo. I'll weigh you out a bag.

Guys, it might be a good idea to set up a "BFNY Sales/Want to Buy Thread" to list what you have for sale, then link in this thread. That way, we can work out deals without having to cut into our game time.



#260286 Battle For New York 4

Posted by Zack the Mack on 31 December 2009 - 04:52 PM in Nerf Wars

Is anyone gonna bring name tags and a sharpie?

The NIC uses blasters as name tags. Even if you don't recognize DX or I, you'll probably recognize his Maximizer and my Berserker!



#260440 Battle For New York 4

Posted by Zack the Mack on 02 January 2010 - 01:57 AM in Nerf Wars

I'll be late.
I have a new Longshot.
The two are related.

EDIT: DX's Maximizer has an RSCB?! This is gonna be a battle royale.



#260637 Battle For New York 4

Posted by Zack the Mack on 03 January 2010 - 10:53 PM in Nerf Wars

If I weren't a level 13 Ranger, I would never have found the staging area. I needed to literally follow footprints, use a compass, ask for directions, and use Google Maps to locate it. 24 hours after the war, I'm still so sore I literally can't walk. It was totally fucking worth it. Highlights!

- Getting shot directly in the middle of my forehead. Perfect shot from 60 feet. Don't remember who did it, but they deserve a beer.
- Awesome +Bow dogfight with Cheesy
- THE BULL STOPS HERE!!
- Tactical PistolSplat/FuryFire/Longshot
- Lots of Longshots kicking ass!
- Max the Maximizer finally giving up the ghost. My regards to the bereaved, DX.
- Walking in 1.5 hrs late, into the most confusing game type I've ever played
- Intense fighting in a cool woodland setting. Cool in the 'got frostnip while reloading' sense.
- Meeting Lucian, Cheesy, Z80 (who goes to my school!) et al
- Reuniting with DX, Skitzo, etc
- After I refer to my Berserker: "Hey, you're that guy!"
- The above happening FIVE TIMES. They literally called me "that guy" every time.
- FuryFire sucking worse than your mom

I'll add more as I remember 'em. Awesome photography by Cheesy really jogs the memory.



#260357 Battle For New York 4

Posted by Zack the Mack on 01 January 2010 - 02:06 PM in Nerf Wars

Just thought I'd post a quick WTB for this war:
- Big Salvo tank[s]
- Tubing splices and 4-way crosses
- Tubing check valves
- 20ft of PETG (Thick or med wall is best, but I'll take whatever)
- A Berserker turret
- Felt and washers for CS darts
- Holsters and belt pouches
- Lightning Blitz
- Stock Lanard Shotgun
- Nerf Pinpoint Sight
- Nerf Bandolier



#355019 Apocalypse 2016 - August 6th in Ocean Township, NJ

Posted by Zack the Mack on 15 July 2016 - 12:44 PM in Nerf Wars

I'm excited to end my hiatus and fight this Apocalypse! Also catch Zubats.

 

What is the correct term for an amount of Southerners?

 

The collective term is a ranch of southerners.




#242631 Pa War

Posted by Zack the Mack on 18 July 2009 - 11:48 PM in Nerf Wars

That was an awesome first war! My BBB broke and my Longshot chewed up darts, but thanks to Koree and Icespartan, I could borrow the firepower to get back in the game!

Highlights:
- Talio's shorts tearing wide open, for easy access
- PRINCE CASPIAN WRIST CROSSBOW!
- Nailing Koree in the back from six inches with his L+L
- Being the last man alive in the last round
- Meeting you guys, especially Koree, Ice, Dean, Dizzy...
- That bitchin L+L I borrowed from Koree. Got 90 feet, easy. I'm making like five of 'em.
- Checking out the StrikeFire
- I want to make fuck with you, BERSERKER!
- Losing 300 Stefans
- Pistol round in open, flat field with the wind blowing
- Getting my hand sliced open by a razor-sharp brass NiteFinder barrel
- Patching my hand up with e-tape
- Awesome, varied battlefields
- Mutton's backpack/laptop/webcam first-person video rig
- Discovering that I hate two-handed weapons and love pistols
- Just feeling like I fit in to the Nerfer community

I ache all over, have a mammoth dart bruise on my right bicep, and my hands are blistered and cut. You guys rule.



#241229 Pa War

Posted by Zack the Mack on 10 July 2009 - 01:17 AM in Nerf Wars

I shall be there!

This will break my Nerf War cherry, guys. Don't shoot all your darts in the first five minutes.



#253447 Fall Dcno

I can't come on the 14th, but I'm available on the 7th...
