I haven't touched my longshot in a while, and I just put it back together. When the bolt is back, is the jam door supposed to slide freely? it goes back and forth if I tip it, there is practically no friction. is this normal, or did I just screw it up?

I thought we should have a thread where we take videos of us playing one of our favorite songs, or at least parts of them.

For starters, here's me playing the intro to sweet child O' mine, by Guns N' Roses, on my electric violin. I did this by ear, so I might have a couple notes off.
Sweet Child O' Mine
I'll learn the rest of it, when I can find a version of it in trouble clef. I only can find it in guitar tab, and I can't read that. I'll post a video of me playing a Metallica song soon. It will most likely be fade to black, but I'm not sure.

For my first creation of doom from flinging foam, I decided I had to extend the tank for my titan. What glues should I use for this? and also, what should I use for the actual extended tank? I was thinking of something with a 2 liter soda bottle. Any ideas?

This is the first part of my draft, i'm slowing down because i'm running out of ideas. There's like a 600-1000 work limit, and so far I have 306. There is still a little I know i could do, but here is what I have so far. feel free to post your ideas!



[Essay]Remember that old Nerf gun you have lying around? You know, pick it up and shoot the guy in the office next to you. But what if you want to hit the guy in the office 50 feet away? Well, you won’t be able to do that with a regular Nerf gun. “Then, how do I hit him” You might be asking. Simple. www.nerfhaven.com is a website devoted entirely to nerf guns. How to mod them, how to make your own darts for them (called “Stefans, since the first person to make one’s name was Stefan, more on that later) and even making them!

Before we get started, here’s a list of some of the words we’ll be using.
1) Air restrictor (or AR for short, it’s something Nerf puts in it’s guns to make them shoot less powerfully)
2) Stefan (Homemade nerf dart, made with foam rod called Foam backer rod, otherwise called Caulk saver, which can be bought at most hard wear stores, and usually with some kind of weight in the front
3) Stock (Means out of the box, or unmodified)
(Give me ideas, I’m running on fumes here)
FAQ:
What is a “Stefan”?
A Stefan dart is a homemade dart. It usually is about 1-2 inches of foam rod, with some kind of weight attached to the front, using a hot glue, with the hot glue making a dome around the weight. Most people who nerf prefer these to stock darts because they shoot farther, and more accurate.

What’s a “Paintjob”?
A Paintjob is when someone paints their gun to look differently than it originally did. This has no affect on ranges.

Are there any other brands of foam dart guns, other than nerf?
Yes. One is Buzz bee. Another is laramy. (Help me out here, also, I don’t know that many)

So what do you think? I know I can still do integrations, a simple NF write up, and something on an insane mod (Eyes of Fire)

On new years eve, my brother and a couple of friends prank called another of my brother's friends with my cell phone. It was something about ordering a pizza to texas, (We live in CT) and then we drove over and dropped an empty pizza box on their doorstep with Houston TX written on the front. A few minutes later, I noticed I had a voicemail. Listening to it, I discovered their idea of a counter-prank:
