I have prepared a writeup and pictures for a radio control aircraft that I altered for use in nerf wars. However, I am not sure as to which forum I should post it in, Modifications or Homemades. This is because it doesn't seem to fit into either category, being neither a modified nerf blaster nor something I made from scratch. I would greatly appreciate some guidance on this matter.

Can you give some more information?

Like can it shoot anything / do anything?

Probably general nerf. But don't worry too much about finding the categorically perfect subforum, no ones going to get on your case as long as you don't post a trading thread in the mod section or something of the like.

[nerfer9]

You modified it to be useful in nerf. Put it in the mod section. Seems reasonable enough.

I have now learned that you're a fucktard! Very useful!

Alright, I second TantumBull. The General Nerf sub forum would be the best idea.

I'm going to offer a vastly differing opinion. The site admins have said in the past that they have a single vision of Nerfing - running around and shooting at people. They've either tolerated or closed site for grenades, mines, cammo, and of course sn*ping.

While this is a nice project, I'm not sure it'll be as enthusiastically received as the OP may expect.

I'm definitely feeling that rubbernecking urge right now. I know this is a train wreck waiting to happen, but I just can't help but hope that this gets posted so that I can't look away.

P.S. Is that sentence as confusing as I think it is?

[Lion]

I just hope he posts this question in every forum rather then geting over it and posting the write up.

Would you be willing to sell these, maybe it should go in 'Trading', or if you plan to take it to a nerf war, you should post it in 'Nerf Wars'

Don't post it in "Nerf Wars" if it's a modification.

Unless he actually used it in one. Given that the chance of replicating it is low (because it sounds like he didn't take making-of pics, so it's most likely going to be a show-and-tell post) I wouldn't advise starting a new thread in Mods. He could try posting to the Pics and PJs thread, but he'd get zero feedback, and the fact that he's flogging it like this says to me he's looking for affirmation and acknowledgment.

...deluded, postmodern head.

Prefixes in the English language. Learnz them.

Ice9: Yeah, I'm aware. I actually looked it up just to make sure he did use it incorrectly, haha. I never said it wasn't a real word, man. Chill.

Yo, postmodern is a real adjective. He just used it absolutely incorrectly.

It's my favorite kind of situation, where in I can call both people I'm quoting idiots.

FEEL CORRECTED, N‐WORDS.

Seoulman, I would like to use Occam's Razor in this situation to point out that his use for an obscure and extremely specific reference is beaten by the simplicity of the fact that this dude is moronic. Naw, seriously though, I love Scrotum.

How can you tell he used it incorrectly? I don't even know what he's trying to say. Maybe he just really hates mindless hipsters?

[AcepilotZero]

Based on your responses, I have decided to do three things: change my signature, post pictures of the bomber I created in the Modification/paintjob Pictures thread, and provide some details about the bomber here.

I modified a medium-sized radio-control airplane to be able to drop as many as forty darts onto a target from the air. This was accomplished by embedding a servo into each wing, programming them to the aileron channel on the radio, and constructing two balsa wood boxes to be attached to the undersides of the wings with velcro. These boxes have hinged doors on the bottom that, when the servos are activated, open to release the payload of darts. The servos both move in the same direction as the aileron control on the transmitter, thus allowing two separate dart releases, one from each wing. After each complete drop the plane must be landed and reloaded manually before it can be used again. The darts land in a straight line along the direction of travel for an unknown reason.

Ranges are in excess of one hundred feet, but accuracy is minimal due to perspective issues.

This is in the wrong forum.
