Exactly how old are you? Last I checked, the vast majority of people in 7th grade are under 13.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. A good nerf gun is like a good woman. It shouldn't require extra lubrication.

A homemade blaster. Try a SNAPbow.hi, im in 7th grade and im a Nerf fan. i was thinking of doing a science project on a projectle or nerf gun. have any ideas of a legit project?

i was thinking more along the line with like bullets and comparing..or anything that does NOT have to do with building a gun..lolA homemade blaster.

I recall something in our school hand book about no projectile launchers. Of course that's my school, but most schools I know of are anti-gun/anything resembling a gun. So you might want to go with something about stefans and avoid the gun aspect all together. Like if rifling would work on stefans. You could finish your project and lay an argument to rest.hi, im in 7th grade and im a Nerf fan. i was thinking of doing a science project on a projectle or nerf gun. have any ideas of a legit project?
Edit: To give you an example about how anti gun my school is, one of my my friends was wearing a shirt with a gun on it, and the principal yelled at him and made him turn it inside out.

You know what, never mind. Your in 7th grade for fricks sake, you shouldn't be doing something this complicated.
Go watch some more of your spongebob and come back when you actually have intelligence.
FA_24's response to Ice's back pain thread:
I used to have that problem until I got circumcised. 15 pounds later I was able to stand up straight.

If you really are a super-geek then doesn't this line seem a little contradictory?
"Its called being a fucking retard and getting left back lol...anyway got any idea?"
Anyways, a Snap is pretty easy to make, and with all of the concepts, such as dead space, friction in the barrel,
draw length, I'm sure you could come up with a science project. Hell, if you are really a super geek you could post the amount of power a springer gets in relation to its draw length and spring strength, and post it up here. .

In my area, one kid brought a water gun on a bus to school, thinking he would get a few laughs out of it. Lets just say the bus driver went ninja on him...

Second, for a project, I would reccomend (as has been suggested elsewhere) doing an experiment with barrel length.
Coupler mod your NF and then make barrels of different lengths starting with about 3" and increasing them in 1/4" or 1/2" increments until you get to around 6". You'll need to fire 30 shots from each barrel and record the results of each dart as accurately as possible. If possible, you'll probably want to do this range test in grass to prevent dart skip (how far the dart travels after it has hit the ground). You'll also need to have some way of assuring that each shot is fired from the same angle (most of us here would appreciate it if it were a level shot) and height. Yes, it will take some time to fire this many shots, but 30 shots per barrel will ensure an accurate result.
A little hint from someone who has taken college level statistics that will help your project immensely. If you graph the results of each barrel on one graph where the x-axis (or bottom of the graph) indicates barrel length and the y-axis (the left side of the graph) indicates the average range of darts fired from that barrel, you should have some sort of curve shape (provided you used enough different barrel lengths). The top of that curve will show the maximum range from the optimal barrel length and the far left and right of the curve will show the maximum range of the worst possible barrel length, too short (length of the dart) or too long (if the barrel is long enough, the dart won't even leave the barrel).
Again, please revise your post above to remove the immature insults and follow through with this or similar project and you will be warmly welcomed to our community.

HA! you make me laugh you pathetic piece of shit! get a life fuck-face. if you dont like it then fuck off and dont bother looking at this post.kill yourself know.do us all a favor you little prikHow about using that gray mush in your cranial cavity to search for a mod to do?

Well, I found one thing to do. Im thinking of using the Nerf Nitefinder. and projects with that?
Still trying to understand what you mean by "kill yourself know."

And just incase super_geek is wondering, science projects are about the scientific method, not which student did the coolest project.
