Look, even i think the title sucks. But that is beside the point. Today, my friend borrowed my 4B Modded for some test firing. Later, he decided to see some pain infliction, so he shot my brother's friend. He pumped it four times- 3 less than I usually pump it. He shoots from a five foot distance, similar to the distance FA-24 shot in his Mongo Titan Video. He shot, and a little later a welt appeared. I had to talk to my mom, but then I went back outside. We shot each other with 4B's and had no similar result to that one shot. Now my mom is skeptical about bringing me, or letting me go, to Armageddon. What should I do know?

Side Notes:
All of my Stefans have about an eighth of an inch of FBR at the end of each dart.
Not all pumps pressurized the tank.
My friend and I are notified to be a little pain resistant.

Just go... geddon is one of those things that is worth a few months of groundage.

That's terrible advice. Talk to your mother about what nerf is all about, explain that it's a very safe sport, and get permission so that you won't be forbidden from attending future wars.

Armageddon is one of those things that will give you chances to come back.

1. In a war, if you're five feet away from an opponent, barrel tap him or call a mercy kill. If you insist on shooting, do so with a side-arm. A little common sense goes a long way.

2. A little welt isn't gonna kill you. You'll have plenty after a nice long day of nerfing. That's why it's fun and you have something you can show those people who think nerfing is stupid.

3. What Foam said, if I had the resources and time to make it to the west coast for 'Geddon, I'd do it. Totally worth the consequences.

4. HOWEVER, the best bet is to negotiate with your mother. Nerf is a very mild sport compared to other projectile-shooting sports. If you don't make 'Geddon this year, oh well, it's not going anywhere. Besides, you can always get a local war running

OH! You're so witty you should run for president!


Talk to your mom, explain the situation. It was a stupid thing for your friend (to be honest, he doesn't sound like a friend, more of a jerk) to do. Tell her you'll be much further away, and you won't hurt anyone, and you won't get hurt because you'll be wearing protection (goggles, maybe mention a sweatshirt, but forget it the day of the war). Just explain to her that it's safe and in the name of fun.

that hurt hipponater.....

The solution is much simpler than you might think.

Just tell her that the 4B is not allowed at NERF wars because IT IS too powerful. The blasters being used will have only a fraction of the power.

It's really that easy. Tell her that the people organizing this war have been doing it for a long time and know how to keep people safe. They won't allow any blasters that puts anybody's safety at risk.

Umm, but if you read the Geddon Link.....

Either way, I agree with you to an extent, but I currently then need a new primary. Aside from that, I need accurate range tests to get a good comparison, but currently normal hot glue tips are not getting the distance. But CS's darts definitely will reach his (ranges). Now i this offends you, I had no intention. I respect you.

Unless he was bleeding, then you shouldn't worry. Bullshit Dragon shot me in the face with a 4B from about 5 feet, fully pumped with a 15 inch barrel and stefan with a fishing weight in it. I bled. Rather alot really. But that was just extreme. I have never ever gotten shot hard enough to bleed by any other person, regardless of guns. Sure, you will get welts, but they aren't gonna bruise like paintball. Nerf is safe. Thats about all there is to it.

Oh, and wear eye protection. Both times I have been shot in the face, I was not wearing eye protection. Im lucky, but don't let that be you.
