Think, why wouldn't it work? It would be a horrible idea, but possible

[bamblack2000]

1) Your grammar sucks
2) We don't call them bullets, we call them darts
3) If you want to make someone bleed shoot them with a singled titan at point blank range

Wow what a great start at the 'haven! This is one of the most amazing ideas yet here, I am honestly astounded that nobody here has thought of that before. Keep up the amazing work!

[Zack Koukios]

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work but it would be pointless. May as well just play paintball.



ps. What if threads like this are usually looked down upon by the NIC unless there is suffecient work or research behind it. You might want to put more work into it before posting something like this again

Well welcome to Nerfhaven for one,
and two you should fix your grammar so you don't get banned.
I hate to see new people get banned.
Anyways on topic: I haven't tried this but it sounds cool for
entertainment purposes but not so much practical.
Why don't you try it out and tell us how it goes?
as I believe these kind of topics are "frowned" upon.
Just some friendly tips.
Good luck.

Ok, here's another stellar idea. Fix your grammar, spelling, and all in all, get better at posting coherently. I know its the internet, but it's serious business. Please, just spend a little more time actually thinking stuff over, and correcting mistakes. It will serve you better in life, and certainly your stay at the Haven. That being said...

Ok, bad idea. You would need to use high powered guns for them to break, and at that point, you are in danger of real bleeding. I mean, Sam, Carbon, and now me (sorry if I am forgetting any MN nerfers) have been shot by high powered guns and started to bleed. At MNHNO I was shot in the face by my own Big Blast, got a nasty welt, and had skin ripped off my face. Simulating blood would also get more attention from police, who in turn would think you are shooting each other with live firearms as appose to toys.

Wise words

I think this idea might be good for Role playing games, film making, etc.
Adding a blood pill to the end of a stefan might through the dart out of balance and/or make it less aerodynamic, plus you have to buy blood pills to place on the darts, increasing the price per dart manufactured. Another problem is that to get the pills to break you would need a high powered gun or to weaken the pill. Other than that this might be a good novelty.

Cool idea DUDE!

Maybe next we can wear plate carriers, and have airstrikes, and have bayonets!

[MercenaryXero]

Don't they make 6mm paintballs? You could just glue them on the ends of darts.

[Hoceky]

Instead of flaming of what is already a crisp, why don't you give the kid some construtive critisism. All noobs make silly first attempts at concepts.

[maseman 46]

I did (ish)as much as I could thank you.

alright then maybe a bad idea. sorry for wasting you time

Really now? Did you even read the idea? What can you say about it that would be constructive?

[nightfinder]

alright then maybe a bad idea.

Maybe???IT IS!!!

[Blue]

Why is everyone saying it's a bad idea? I can't read his original post, but did he ever say it was for wars? I glued a splat ball (knockoff of paintball at target) to a mega dart and used it in my bbbb. It was fun watching the paintball explode, but it's like putting a tack on the end of your darts, You can't shoot indoors or at people, but it is pretty cool shooting at cardboard outdoors.

I second Blue's motion to give said "n00b" his or her due benefit of the doubt.

At least he is being creative, I give him credit for that.

[Forsaken angel24]

If the blood capsule was non staining it would be an excellent addition to the Nerf Assassins games.
Finding a tiny blood capsule. Carefully loading it onto/into a stefan. Puncturing the tip with a tiny needle. Then firing on a target.

Proves the hit and adds realism to the game.

Can it be done?
Who knows, I know I have better things to do with this hobby.
However I would like to see it done if someone can do it.

You are all fucking dickwads. You were all there once, just like I was, so shut it.

Really now? Did you even read the idea? What can you say about it that would be constructive?

Perhaps something along the lines of "Nerf is a hobby most commonly because it is relatively inexpensive, and so most would find the added cost and time required to do this to their darts more than they're willing to put in." Is that so hard?

For once, I'm not going to apologize for saying this. Busta, you're being an absolute asshole.

If we want people to keep nerfing, you (and this time, it's a general, hobby-encompassing "you") are going to have to shut the fuck up and help newcomers (we don't have n00bs...we have NEWCOMERS) learn in a nice way. How do you teach a kindergarten classroom to become quiet after recess? Let's try yelling "You're such a fucking retard, why can't you shut up?" in their faces and see how it goes.

Mmkay?

Same concept. All we need is one person to explain (NICELY, damnit) the inherent issue with an idea someone has, and everyone else shuts up about it. If necessary, a polite link to the Code of Conduct for spelling/AIM speak purposes, etc. may be in order. Other than that, nothing needs to be said. Problem solved.

And for the record, if you were willing to spend the time to make them, I could see a group of friends having a lot of fun shooting each other with these. Everyone comes in an old white t-shirt, and leaves dressed for Halloween.

Please, can't we all just get along?

...don't apologize. You brought up something that isn't typically discussed because it's usually not practical. But that's for how most people play, and how YOU play is ENTIRELY up to you.

Awesome. Thank you Falcon. It's nice to hear someone who's been in the community for a while admit that they weren't always as informed as they are now. I myself am a little tired of the fourteen-year-olds bashing the thirteens-year-olds beacause they found Nerfhaven first. I mean, it's one thing to poke fun at ideas involving flame and gasoline, but everyone has their own little quirks to what they think is cool.

I think he was being sarcastic. It is the internet after all, you can't tell when a person is being sarcastic.

[BustaNinja]

Honestly, thank you Falcon for the sobering. Remembering back to my concept thread days, and how people responded to those. I forgot about the other aspects of Nerf. As Forsaken Angel pointed out, it would be an awesome addition to Assassins games, and all though not practical for wars, it would have alot of potential in Nerf movies as sort of a "just for fun" thing. I've also seen red chalk used for that sort of thing. It creates the little cloud of "blood", simulating a shot or stab. That might be more practical.

Wow, sorry about that before. The metaphorical pulling of my head out of the snow (itsw snowing here, so Im saying that instead of sand) made me think about Nerf again. Its about fun, and I was forgetting that.
