Are hopper clips banned?

[Merzlin]

Count me in!

A family member wants to come and take pictures...is that cool with you guys?

[Snake51886]

Streamlines won't work, even if you've cut them down. The stem that runs through the dart prevents it from bending enough to feed into the barrel. It's a shame. I've yet to try to make a hopper clip for taggers, but I encourage you to try.

Since even Ryan can't get stock ammo to work in hoppers it's a moot point. I'm awaiting to hear of a way for them to work with stock ammo!

@Merz - That would be amazing. Family and friends are welcome to come and Nerf as well. Provided they follow the rules and whatnot.

Oh we can get it to work.

[LiterSize]

With as much picture-taking as I've done at wars previous, I have no issues with your family taking pics, Merz.

[Snake51886]

Concerning Hoppers then, I'm going to cap the clips at 4 darts + 1 chambered.

I'd like to avoid this from turning into raining foam down and be a like foamsoft or paintball. So I'm going to simply ban all homemades except for Blowguns. We already have some younger children (younger than 13) in the group and I wouldn't want to see them get nailed by anything that doesn't scream "Harmless Nerf Blaster".

With that said, I'm inviting everyone to come NERF with us! (Provided you follow the rules and whatnot)

You can count me in.

Fixed. I'm better at this sort of thing than Ryan

Anyways, although it's tempting to show up and pwn all of you with blowguns, if you're blanket-banning homemades I think my time would be better spent elsewhere.

On another note, does that mean raider drums are banned too? or is there just a minimum amount of money you have to spend in order to be allowed large ammo capacity and high ROF?

Bwahahaha.

[VACC]

I know I won't be attending this war, but I have to ask; if banning Hamps is the objective....why not just ban hamps? Banning hoppers and all homemades just seems to be pussy footing around the real issue, and removing a lot of other fun alternatives in the process.

[LiterSize]

From what it looks like, hoppers are capped off not banned.

[Snake51886]

First off, hopper clips are not banned. I capped them at 4 darts +1 chambered.

When considering banning and whatnot, I followed Vacc's advice: Run wars the way you want. We have a lot of first timers and people showing up with well modded stuff and those with the stock NF. As Talio has said in the podcasts and whatnot, hosting is about making sure everyone in attendance has a blast, especially the kid with the stock NF. That's my primary concern, along with helping to expand the nerfing community.

If anyone has any other questions about what's "Nerfy" or cost of Nerfing, please pm it with me. It serves no purpose to clog up a war thread with this debate.

This summariezes what happens at my wars. Pic from Chicago Effeminatenerf 1...

[jakejagan]

I apologize if this may seem inappropriate, but a member on youtube (NOT ME) has said that they will be a definite at this war. I post here because he has been validated.

[AcepilotZero]

I will probably be there.
