My friend who is one of the admins on these forums have done MUCH more than I have. This includes and air compressor MagStrike, a stampede working at around 90ft MAX, vulcan that shoots aroudn 60ft and a whole lot more. We also have a great modder who has made a homemade "air pressurised" raider which uses a brass breech design, that utilises clips and what not. These will be seen in the videos ahead of time once the weather in Queensland gets better, we will be able to have another Nerf War .
Before you watch, our Nerfing community does not aim for mega ranged Nerf Blasters. We love to have a mix of ROF and range to keep the game interesting, instead of having everyone shooting 100ft+ guns and standing super far away. I see that as kind of boring as there's no 'variety' in the Nerf Wars we have. However, if certain communities love to war that way, I have nothing against it as we all have different 'views' of fun.
The reason I've made this topic is because to update you guys who live in America that the Nerf community is not limited to just the US and Singapore. Also, just so you can enjoy some videos I make. It has grown pretty big ever since I've started having a record number of 35 people turn up to one war.
If you are wondering what type of darts we use, we have a supplier under the username inf0rm3r who sells blue foam tubing that we use to create darts. We use snap caps (screw caps) as our dart heads to eliminate inconsistency. The foam is 12.7mm (1/2 inch) foam which WILL fit in all stock guns. He sells this foam worldwide and if you want some. I'll ask him about it. We also have new silicone tips which will eliminate the need of making 'Hot Glue Domes" and you can simply just slow the silicone tip in the blue foam with some silicone glue. I will update you on this later.
Anyway here are some of the videos. I will be constantly updating this thread for videos . Enjoy!

The 2nd War in our area - I didn't get footage of the first proper one we had. However, this was one of the wars that established our community.

This was a war organised by another group down in Brisbane, Australia. Their Nerf Wars consists of stock or near stock blasters. Not my cup of tea, but still fun. Just lacks cover which is extremely important in a Nerf war imo.

That's all for now. I have a few more videos, so feel free to browse my channel . Which reminds me... there doesnt' seem to be a option for embedding videos... is that possible on these forums? For more updates, you can subscribe to the Brisbane's community channel so you can keep updated one of many parts of the world who Nerf. I will update this thread when I go to more Wars. I only recently started to add music to my videos as I realise they can be pretty dull at times. Thanks!
