I did play runescape, I went through two phases (both around a year long) of playing it in fact.
I liked it, but eventualy realized the pointlessness of it, and used my time on it to "merchant" or buy valuables from stupid people for the wrong values. I didn't quit because i was losing, I had around 50,000 gold.
You will too realize after time that there are much better games you can play for free. I personally prefer Quake conversions like Tremulous and Nexuiz.
Runescape screwed me up, and it probably accounts for most of my after-game awards in Tremulous for "Chattiest Mother******" (seeing there are a good deal of younger people here prompts me to censor)
Try out those games too, they're good.

the bottles could be used as one-use molds to make foam missiles: fill them with foam, use an xacto to slice the bottle off, add bbs to the necessary parts for weight.

More power doesn't lead to less accuracy, with the right weighting no accuracy problems should occur. And I see now that I had the wrong idea of this before, and that the bottle is going over, not into, the barrel. Oh well.

The summer is obviously the perfect time to start nerfing, thus the influx of new members by the thousands. I probably joined at the wrong time, when "prey" for angry members to flame about was scarce, and I consider myself quite the whatsit magnet. Still, there are now about 5 posts saying "Hi, I'm a noob" on the forum, and, being a noob once myself, I would like to contribute some vital knowledge beyond the code of conduct.
For one (I don't want to backseat moderate, that's not the purpose of this post) don't post a "hi, I'm here and I'm a noob" message, that was practically what my Cheapest Homemade Ever! topic was, and if you'll read it, you can see why no good comes of that. Don't start a flame war.
Learn your superiors: this should come naturally, but don't TRY to create trouble. For instance it would be a BAD idea to flame at Pineapple or Groove. Don't
With all those "don't"s you're probably wonder what you should do. You should (to at a minimum avoid being banned)
1. Post reasonable topics
2. Make sense
3. Actually read the Code of Conduct (I didn't, and man did I screw up)
Again, this is a post for the newcomers from someone who really wrecked his account in the start. I'm not trying to backseat moderate, just save people from making a bad first impression, and negatively reinforcing-so don't do what I did, noobs.

We only have Assassin games out here. I wish we had wars. There is less paranoia and an equal amount of adrenaline there.
Wow, I just realized how much assasin games would ruin your life for a week with anxiety...
Their used to be wars at my own fucking high school during the summer and I had no idea.
I feel the same way... I joined just a little late. Still, fads come in waves. It pretains to the way things are usually adopted first by the oldest, then work their way down untill all the little 6-year-olds want whatever the colledge students wanted a week ago. Nerf waves typically start in the other direction, the little kid sees the add on TV, their grade-school brother hears about it from them, brings it to school, and tells his friends how awsome it is. Older and older people get interested, and for some it hangs on after being a fad, those people are the ones dedicated to boards like this.
Nerf, not only in the south (as the forum creater claims), is slowly moving towards its demise currently, if nerf makes something truly interesting, the wave could start again. Linking these ideas, I think we just need another Nerf fad-wave to bring Nerfing back to the South, and everywhere else where it's fading.

Rather than going through the trouble of making a silencer I'd just make the barrel longer, that way I improve my accuracy and range while quieting the weapon.
Longer barrels aren't always key, it's the volume of the barrel compared to the volume of air being pumped in. On a plunger gun the volume of the plunger tube should be a little more than the barrel's volume to acheive max efficiency. If the barrel has more volume than the plunger/input the dart will lose power while in the barrel, making it less efficient. That's why guns like the crossfire, nitefinder, and maverick (which hardly have any barrel) gain power from extended (more efficient) barrels.
Barrel Length.

I want to get a BBB, and to mod it, but without getting any stuff from stores(barrels, foam, etc.). I've checked on google and the search, and I can't find anything! Help!
P.S. I know I that i suck, just gimme a break.
Okay, i did an incredibly simple bbb mod, following loosely along several others, I unscrewed it, and took out that front air restrictor, remember, ONLY the front, not the thing with the little spring attached.
I dremmeled down the four little nubs that keep that front button thing from spinning or coming out.
Then i simply shoved a 2" crayola barrel down it and duct taped it on like crazy.
At first i had this dumb pvc ring instead of the crayola stuck to the front, but it was really inaccurate and i won't try to explain it.
Apparently it's "impossible *********" to get 105' which was my record until i was told it was "--------" So I have been instructed by General Cole (i think that's his name) to remove the apparently "false" distance from my stated record.

Other thoughts:
Maybe the spas could be replaced with the manta gun (forgot the name) that shoots 4 darts at once.
Not nerf mortar, TITAN!
I think this would be a good game for modding bullets, since they are actually visible, and have a trejectory rather than an unstopable, direct path.

The show has THE WORST writing of any show I have ever seen on any of the Discovery network channels. The garbage that issues forth from the unintentionally comical host is at best 25% accurate and 75% marketing drivel with a very limited selection of adjectives that make him sound even dumber. He's a decent interviewer, but a terrible host. They should not have bothered to let him say anything on camera.
Yah, I know and totally agree, the host uses the same nonscientific terms repetedly, I just put it on mute and watch for the bizar, or more practical things, this was probably an impractical, bizar thing. I was thinking that the pressure input system here would solve some motion flaws in Nerf design, like some of the supermaxx line, which had structural integrity issues in several places. I do see the similarity to ball launchers though.
added an air inlet behind each dart in the barrel
That was what I was saying, but thanks for clarifying, my description was just the low-res video. I thought that possibly the suction cup headed darts could seal the barrel, but wouldn't allow it to launch.
Ok, I removed the idiot part, he's not good at TV, but he did service.

I watch this show called Futureweapons, where they have different guns, missiles, aircraft, explosives, etc., and they showed a gun that was based on the principle that the only moving part is the barrel, making mechanics incredibly simple, and the gun insanely fast.
The gun (in real weaponry) works by stacking several rounds into each of its barrels (4 on handgun), and then igniting the caps in order, making it the fastest firing weapon ever, and it doesn't require a clip.
I thought that the bullets could be darts, and that instead of igniting anything, air could be pumped in.
To explain, here's a youtube of it.
all that really matters is the part about the chip sending electric charges to behind bullets, what if one of the mechanical geniuses here could make something mechanical to pump air behind darts in order? I think that would be the end of slow barrel reloads.
Just a thought.

Very nice. What is the BBB's stock range or out of the box by the way?
it does shoot around 30' stock, but when I tried it with Big Salvo arrows It went somewhere around 70', It was pretty awsome. the salvo arrows were more front heavy and shorter, plus the wings dont fall off. But now my bbb only shoots Micro darts because of the liberally applied duct tape around the barrel.

Is your shotgun going to fire off multiple darts? Or is it just going to work like a shotgun?
Even though I'm a noob here, I'm a gamer, and this is really irritating to me too, you people need to understand that shotguns fire SHOT, which is a bunch of projectiles at once, please try to understand that.

Oh god.... THAT THING.
that was my first reaction
it's not designed to shoot far.
I don't think so, it's just that it's launching what looks like a half pound bobber, if you completely removed the hook and line system (and if it uses air pressure) this may shoot pretty far with a barrel mod. If it's not air powered, forget it.

I forgot about epoxy, I see things on it everywhere, and still I'd forgotten It's the perfect plastic glue.
^recommendation: epoxy is awsome
I've had this broken bolt/cocking handle to a Tornado for so long, I will try epoxy on it, if it's not too mutilated from the 5 other coats of glue.
^don't make that mistake, use epoxy first thing, then maybe plastic welder.
Epoxy is the answer (thanks for reminding me). Plastic welder is cool sounding.
It works on jagged edges too, but if that one post meant shatterered pieces, cut a new one.

Macs still have several things better that Windows, mainly in graphics and storage/data management. Mac's Hard drives never have to be defragged, due to the more advanced storage system-something that Windows would require an entire system rewrite from scratch to make available, not to mention the product recalls for harddrive disfunctions after programming problems. Macs also have integrated graphics memory, simplifying the way the graphics work. Macs are made for media, Windows works well with direct data input (games and docs).
typically, macs are used for graphics because they become "traditional" and becuase they handle graphics well.
The iPhone probably won't do well, honestly. It is an apple flop, but it's still awsome in capabilities. I was really just waiting for it to come out so I could see the demo models in the apple store

Pretendonitis: humming a really high note, the goal was to make Dwight go to the ear doctor, but if that doesn't work it can still be pretty annoying.
The other one I thought of was kind of like the clock thing. You take someone's cell phone, hide it in the cieling/tape it under chair and call it over and over. The cieling is probably the best choice. I wish I had done this when I found a phone at a party. I knew the owner, but I couldn't find the number.

1: I figured this one out today, and it not only gets someone slimed in bodily fluids, but might get you a "get out of school free" pass if you tell the nurse.
first, chug milk (on an empty stomach)
next, chug orange-juice
For those of you who havent done this, it causes the milk to curdle in your stomach, creating a mock stomach flu. Not reccommended for those faint of heart... or stomach
2: This is also less of a prank, but sometimes it's amusing to be an "aggressive driver" in the halls. I made a lot of people angry by calling them road-blocks, or my favorite: wide loads.
3: I won't outstay my welcome on this thread, but here's one last one off the top of my head. using sticky-tack, gum, erasers, or anything else small and slightly moldable, you can jam people's lockers open, but make them appear to close.
in three places on the door, there is a "barb" shaped like this:
|\
-------- \
^^^ \
\
-------------
The carrats point to what I call the 'lock point'. once the lock-pole slides into this, it won't come out until the lock is removed, and the trigger pulled upwards.
To stick the locker open, find something (I've found large, removable erasers work best) to close of the barb, and turn it into an arrow:
----------
ERASER \
|------| \
\
-------------
When you see the opportunity, cram the object into the lock-point area, and it should stay unlocked, but closed if done correctly.
Seriously, don't try to vomit on people though. It was an accident. Kinda...
And the aggressive driving was kinda kiddy, but fun.

This has nothing to do with pirating, if you want to do that (and get banned) make your own topic. All I was asking was if anyone knew how to unpack a .bin file. The wii can save to SD cards, and I found the save file on the SD with my card reader. I don't know if I made that clear... So yes, it is saving a backup (somewhat) but it's built to do that, it needs a save file-I just told it to save to a removable disk.
I just thought I could open the binary pack and change some numerical values, like my wii-sports "pro level" (it would be nice to be level 9999)
Also, no, I don't really need help with Zelda, it's my brother's game, thanks anyway.
How did this turn into a discussion about PS2 chipping, and then being kicked off the forum and furtermore arrested? Funny how that works

The file is a .bin inside about five folders, just wondering if anyone has found a way to hack this file, or even extract it. (I wouldn't mind having a level 9999 player or infinite health in Zelda)
I'm also surprised that on a generaly technological community that no-one else has talked about hacking consoles (there were a good deal of "which console do you like better" threads though).
Just asking, I don't mind if you have no idea.

I don't own a Rev-8 yet.
Keep it that way.
I've tried one of these things, my 6 year old cousin has one. Modding it would bring it up to stock standards.
Honestly, this is a nerf gimmick to make a "laser-blaster" targeted for the little kids who play with nerf guns.
Stefans would fire out of it with AR removal, but, again, the power is minimal. Glowing suction-darts (excuse my reiteration of previous posts please) have very large tips, but are short enough for them to be set back in the turret.
Tagger darts are longer, so their large heads obstruct the annoying little beam that comes accross the revolver at one point to hold the center of the turret.
Even if taggers worked in this gun, the firepower and ROF value isnt worth the money.

They actually have these. Not to shoot nerf balls, or tennis balls, or potatoes, but (of all things) shirts.
At basketball games, the do have "shirt cannons" that shoot rolled-up tee-shirts to the crowd using a pressure tank. If you modified it and replaced the shirts (which go pretty far considering they're cotton wads) with something sensible to shoot at people like a foam-rubber dodgeball
Shirt cannons
The best picture I found of what foam I'm talking about.
You could make a fun little "pirate-cannon" out of this, and it would make gym class a good deal easier...

1) weight could be an issue. By BBs we mean metal BBs for airguns. Somepeople use those. Others use size 3/0 fishing weights. Weaker springers require lighter weights.
2) BBBs require a longer barrel than a crayola
3) The dart to barrel fitmight not be correct. You have to remember not everyone has the same brand of foam and barrel materials. Not every pack of FBR is going to be the same exact size.
Im getting unbelievably long ranges with a 1/4" tiny pvc ring in the barrel, I don't belive in long barrels working, its just a myth

The simplicity interests me. Maybe if you used a shorter air tank, you could make it detachable from the bed, and reattachable for when your done, so if you miss the first time, you can rush the 'intruder'.
Speaking of shotgunning, no one has told me if they've used my shotgun dart design in a homemade. If you want to try that (the barrel is certainly long enough) you can see the design here.
(Also, thanks for noting that it was a ball valve, I was trying to figure out what those quick-release kinds were called)

Regardless, 40' is obviously way better than this gun could have acheived unmodded. Are the barrels seriously larger than the dart, that would just be stupid manufacturing/design.
--------------Slightly off topic, just thinking: wouldn't it be better though?-------------
Makes me wonder why they don't hire actual nerfers to design their guns. Even some of the forum noobs could make a better Nerf weapon-given the opportunity to use the company machinery. (Maybe they don't let us design nerf because we would end up with weapons of mass-foam-destruction)

"they" were the companies manufacturing Nerf-type guns, and I understand that they have engineers, but the engineers have more "cool-factor" (and safety) than power, in mind when designing the guns. Of course, they must be contract-bound to do this, since the idea behind Nerf sales is:
(as in all sales companies)
1. Make stuff look good to profit sales (longshot, max-force line)
2. Don't get sued (did someone say "DO NOT MODIFY' clause?)
Obviously, buzzbee puts functionality so far down on their to-do lists, and power is even lower than that, that the output is what they hope for it to be - safe for parents to let thier kids shoot themselves point blank in the head and not get hurt. Nerf is more powerful, less of a novelty/dollar-store toy, but it does seem a lot more fun to mod a cheap gun, not only does it have a lot of room to improve, but also it's disposable, cheap, and screwed up mods are easily just thrown away. I guess there is a positive side to worthlessness...
thus my currently most commonly used screenname: iSuck
