The max shot was the re-release of the x-bow, metaphoically speaking. That or the uruk hai dealy...

On the subject of a spring rifle, you never know... Hasbro's pretty sneaky. I mean the ttg, just came out of nowhere. It looked nothing like the concept art (which was a nite finder, if anyone else remembers the pics). But personally, I don't care if we get one, I want that dvd-set.

Talio or Hersh- Do you know how the hornet and bazooka dock? Over and under or one sticks onto the side of the other or something?

[One Man Clan]

over and under. It's like attaching a Blastfire directly below the front of a Xbow. Thats the best way I can describe it.

[THIRST]

So does the hornet have a stock?

Wow it's a shame I couldn't have made the trip with you guys. Just glad to hear that you had fun and managed a safe trip. Very badass guys, we really appreciate it.

[LDM]

It's not just the fact that Hasbro is releasing guns, it's that they're generating ideas and thinking up new things (I just said the same thing.) Although a new batch of good guns would be awesome, just the thought that Hasbro is thriving is great.

[THIRST]

Honestly, I can wait the few months for these guns, although they do sound good. The Nitefinder is just an amazing gun...Its good that they keep making cocking springers, theyre really fun for the little kids, and can be modded to shoot really nicely...

When did you see the hornet?

Err, I didn't.

Meant to say sounds sweet. Got a visual, messed up my typeage.

[Talio]

Hornet doesn't have a stock really. It has the grip, then behind it is another loop almost. It's really hard to explain, but for all intensive purposes, no it does not have a stock. I would draw a picture, but I don't think we're aloud to.

Kinda like a 5k in the back?

[Talio]

No.

[LiKnSmAkScOmIn]

wait, what was Grich talking about the powerclip being rerealeased?

[Chrysophylax]

Did you guys have to sign N.D.A.'s before they showed you this?

[One Man Clan]

Likadick, go back and read the god damn thread. WE told you all the PC is coming back in the Fall.

and to Chrysler, yes we did sign NDA's, but it was kinda modified. They told us what we could tell everyone. Actually we told you pretty much everything that we saw. Except maybe the facility tour, but it wasnt really as interesting as everything else.

Well, it 'aint as though OMC and Talio are going to Lanard and spilling their guts out...so no harm done.

Thanks Hersh and Talio, very promising future for NERF and their lineup. It surely took a slump when the SM3000 (blue), new 1500, and the other "mutant" looking blasters were out (when I first became aware of modifying them). The AT line was (and is) great, then it slumped again.

I just picked up a NiteFinder for my son, and I am impressed for six bucks. It, like the Lanard FirstShot, is easily primed by his seven-year old hands, and without modification, shoots pretty far! Loaded it with some whistling micros, and hokey-smokes! Try that. Oh, and the red light is pretty cool, too.

With the new line up hopefully coming out, I won't be left out in the cold like I was when I missed out on the Max Shot frenzy (never got one, maybe never will).

Again, thanks for sharing with the NH group.

Has anyone ever gone to Lanard's hq?

[serpent sniper]

Isn't Lanard's headquarters in Hong Kong or something? I'm thinking no one has...

[Talio]

I believe upon inspection of the packaging, we found Montana.

[sporkboyofjustice]

Yeah that Lanard kid looks like he could be from Montana. Well I guess that Lanard has to be someplace, too bad it's not boring Oregon or I'd be all over it.

[Langley]

But maybe that's just their corporate hq or something, and the design team for the whatever-shot line is in, like........Red Bank. Yeah.....

[One Man Clan]

Sporkboy, what Lanard kid are you talking about?

[Talio]

Edit: Link temporarly expelled. We did something silly. It will be back soon.

Here's the few pic's we caught on our trip. Needless to say our trip was only two days long, and they were a blur. We got what pictures we could. Enjoy.

Copy and Paste.

Damnit! None of the links are working for me! I even copied and pasted them!
Oh well.
Nice job with the information though! Very nice work!
How big is the whole set of three guns added together? I'm sure it'll be a hasle to carry if it's got a foot pump.

[Nerfer16]

Same here.

Lanard is obviously researching nerf, how much you want to bet they've stumbled on this oh so humble site? But of coarse I could be wrong.

[One Man Clan]

I'm sure they have. Good for them. The only thing is, Hasbro went out of their way to protect their intellectual property. I can only imagine that Lanard will see the blasters at the toy fair or even later when they come out. Lanard has made some cool stuff, but I dunno if their design and engineering teams can beat the young fresh team Hasbro has for NERF.
