Shit, I hope I won't be outdone with my roto-rocket because of how long it takes to prime. Especially if you can only get the balls to go so far.

"So far" doesn't do those justice, really. I get 50-60 feet with my Nat-Geo. And it's been through the ringer. I haven't actually tried it with my Roto-Rocket, which I bought new.

[Disturbed]

Man, I'm going to start getting stuff ready for all these ball guns popping up. Oh Draconis, congrats on your 666th post (why, because its evil). I looked through the map of Marymoor Park and realized its huge, so we will have to decide what specific area to nerf at.

AT2K Spacer pr0n Time!

These are some of the AT2K spacer plates I will be handing out for FREE at this war! I'm not some miser who wants to cheat fellow nerfer out of money for something that doesn't cost me a penny to produce. If you guys want to, maybe we could make them cost money and donate the mula to cancer research or something, just a thought. These are neon green and are incredibly attractive... alas the holes are too small to fit my di... WHAT!? All jokes aside, these puppies are nice, and I hope you all enjoy them.

They even glow around the edges:

Okay, now there's gotta be some asshole out there who's thinking, "Oooh, I can make money by selling Tantum's free stuff!" WRONG! I swear if I see anyone selling these over NH or elsewhere, I swear to god I will make your life a living hell. HOWEVER, if you BUY some from me, I WILL allow you to sell them as long as the profit margin for each one you sell is no more than 50 cents. This is because I cannot sell them over NH.

Oh, and please don't PM me about purchasing these if you aren't coming to the war.

[TantumBull]

Sorry for the DP, but when I posted this there was an error, and the post didn't bump the topic. This post is just bumping it so people coming to the war see this post.

Edit: Wow, it still wasn't bumped. Maybe its just my browser, then. Sorry if it is.

Since you cant sell over NH, could you give someone for me, and have them ship it out? i'd pay 1.50 plus shipping.

[TantumBull]

Possibly. You'll have to find someone who's going to this war to agree to do this. But please, no more questions like this in this thread. This is a war thread, not a trading thread. If you really must, you can send me a PM as long as it isn't asking for ME to ship you one. Also, I don't really want to set-up deals now. The war's still a ways away.

If a system such as this does get set up, maybe we could donate the cash to charity, or something like that. I'm sure my school wouldn't mind me using their materials if that was the case.

Anyhow, I've got to think this all through. The school does get all the acrylic for free... Maybe at some point in the future I can set-up something with someone like Draconis to sell these over NH. Draconis, if you like the idea, shoot me a PM. Now that I think about it more, it isn't that big a deal to use the school's acrylic. And its not like I'm "using up" the laser.

I would be happy to help facilitate this endeavor.

You might need to change the LASER fluid once in a while. While it is similar to halogen headlight fluid, they don't operate the same and you may just end up with a big spotlight. The lesson is, kids, don't skimp. Always use high quality fluids in your rig!

[TantumBull]

Alright, so me and Draconis have started planning something out. Long story short is that after this war, Draconis will be selling spacers made by me. The ones at this war will still be free, though, and will be the only neon green ones. Because they will later be sold, everyone only gets 1 or 2. This is kind of a promo, and if you want more, you're going to have to pay. I'm not really worried about getting tons of cash, its more that I don't want someone taking 10 with the prior knowledge that they will soon be for sale and not free.

[Draconis]

Just a heads up, Nisaburo is selling an original Ballzooka in his trading thread. If anyone needs a ball blaster for he ball rounds, that would be an excellent choice. They are widely held as the epitome of stock ball guns.

[boom]

Would ballzookas work well?

[Draconis]

Would ballzookas work well?

They have five revolving barrels, which hold three balls each. They are still a push-pull blaster, but operate better than Reactors or Buzzsaws. Certainly a short range blaster, but then NONE of them are going to be more than 50-60 feet.

Aww... Crap. This topic has just made me think that I have to build my own push-pull ballgun.

[hierarchy]

At the war I will be selling almost all my guns. Almost all of the guns will be pretty cheap because either I sell them, or they are going to go to Goodwill.

The ones I'm willing to sell are:
2x Hornet (stock)
LBB (modded)
Vortex Tornado X2 (stock)
EaB (modded)
Recon (stock)
AT3K (modded)
Big Salvo (modded)
Magstrike (modded)
2x Reactor (NIB)
SM250 (stock)
2x First Shot (modded)
Cyclotrone (stock)
2x Motorized Ballzooka (stock)
Striker Slingshot (stock)

Can you put me down as a hopeful?

Certainly!

I thought I would ask this: How does everyone feel about the new N-Force swords being used?

[Renegademilitia15]

I thought I would ask this: How does everyone feel about the new N-Force swords being used?

Thats fine with me. Personally I've never played with melee weapons, It'll be a fun experience.

I certainly don't mind. Just like any other barrel tap, it is much preferred to taking a pointblank shot. I guess the advantage to a sword wielder would be longer reach than their blaster muzzle, while the advantage to the others is that you have to carry the damn thing around all the time.

[Blacksunshine]

If you're bringing a sword. I'm bringing my shield.

[TantumBull]

I think Dayko was referring to using the sword as a standalone weapon, not a bayonet. I think that would be cool in some gametypes. We should totally do some zombie gametypes. Like it starts with two zombies that can only melee.

YES! I have been waiting for someone to say "zombie." A total zombie survival game. Team one is defending the bunker, and left a few guns and ammo that they go and get. thats when the zombies are all "URHGGGGG... BWAAGHAAAA!!!" And attack. Or a capture the flag with zombies. I call zombie number one!

[Draconis]

Hehehe... Bitches be goin' down!



I just received my Ballzooka in the mail today, and I had the Motorized Ballzooka here at the shop too... So I figured I'd show you guys what will be helping to own you during the ball rounds.
Upside: Target balls fit nicely in the Ballzooka. Downside: The plunger seems to have a poor seal.

Wow, That thing is huge! I was thinking about sitting out and mabye video taping this, but I just might want to dodge balls. (that last sentence sounded dirty), anyways, I guess I'll buy a ball gun and hook it up to a leaf blower.

Hah! The motorized ballzooka SOUNDS like a leaf blower when it revs up...

[TantumBull]

Wow, I'll be using a RR. It'll be like century old musket versus M16. Fuck.

[Retiate]

Oh, you guys just wait and see what I'm going to be doing to my Titan. Your Ballzooka will shake in fear.
...Or it won't work and I'll show up with a Reactor. That's plan B.

And on the topic of swords and shields... I'm alright with them as long as they count as gun hits.
