This topic is about guns that you have seen and could of touched, but you couldn't get them. Anyways today at school me and a bunch of kids were helping our music teacher set up for the talent show. We had to go into storage to get tables to get these tables. Then I saw it, a great conditions bbb just sitting in this box. So I go ask my music teacher if I could have it. She says, "No thats for the 8th grade event (a dance, they used the gun to shoot at a target for a game)". Then I offered to pay the school 10 dollars and give them a night finder, brand new. She declined, I got so pissed that day.

That's funny, but I don't see how your school got its hands on the gun. Did they have it for awhile?

Back when I got my first Nerf guns, I passed up on the Expand-a-Blast, for lack of money. Now that I see all the mods for it, sometimes I wish I had bought it.

I have an EAB... I hate it... severely. I've tried modding it in every possible way I've seen so far, most I've gotten out of it is 50 ft. I swear, my EAB is cursed.

My friend (who doesn't nerf anymore) has one (a bbb). For some reason he hates it but he still wants to keep it. Curse him, I want it. :angry:

Lol my friend's friend has an x-bow... He won't sell it, which is really bugging me, despite the fact the plunger is broken, he doesn't mod nerf guns, and he doesn't even want to fix it... Now that's retarded.

I was checking through my brothers year book from last year. I looked at pictures from the 8th grade event (he was in 8th grade last year) and there it was with a girl holding it about to shoot it.

My close friend and I were talking typical old man things, and the subject of garage sales came up.

He noted how I like to modify Nerf guns, and mentioned that at the last garage sale he had (about a year ago), he had "a purple Nerf crossbow", and a Big Bad Bow (he remembered that name), that his 11 year old son lost interest in. As the day drew to a close, a kid came up and asked how much for the guns. He didn't want to put "junk" back into his house, so he GAVE THEM TO HIM, FREE. He never thought to ask me first!

I showed him on eBay how much he could have gaffed had he put them up for bid...or at least let me have them.

After I finished choking him, he mentioned that they still had a Vortex nerf gun, so he gave it to me (a Tornado X/2). Having no rings, I gave it to my neighbor to play with.

Other than that, whenever I see something Nerf that I---I mean that my son likes, I splurge.

How do you think I feel my brother ( Silencer32, you probably don't remeber him.) is sitting on a goldmine of nerf guns, among them are a crossbow, BBB, LnL, ultimator, vortex tornado, chainblazer, 2 sm3000s, 2 manta rays, wildfire, rapid fire 20, sm1500, sm750, arrowstorm, rachetblast, powerclip, 2 splitfires, 2 blastfires, and a super soaker super maxx 1000 with 6 barrel firing, coustom stock, and a range well over 160 ft. Every one of them fully modded.
He never uses them but won't even let me touch them!!!!

Whoa wait... did you say sm1000?! Please, if that is true, get a pic of that up here! I've been trying for ages to figure out how to get the stupid revolver thing to work properly... and 160 feet?! Please man, see if you can post at least 1 picture of that thing. A small explanation would be nice as well -_- .

Yeah, I have a stupid friend at school who has 2 (TWO, yes TWO!!) xbows, but being the idiot that he is, he tries to spite me. I asked him for it, offering up to 25 bucks each, and he declined, asking why. I wasn't going to tell him, so I made up some lie. In the end, he said "Sorry, I still need it." Even though he doesn't nerf -ever. God I really hate him.

Back like eight years or so ago, one of my friends had an X-bow (at least, that's what I think it was), and he offered to trade it for some other toy I had, and I turned him down, I really wish I hadn't. ^_^

AirApache, it isn't that weird to have two xbows is it? I have two, but then again, I use them both. I also had two friends a while back, each at different times, who managed to get their xbows thrown away by an angry parent (usually for leaving "red spots" on their siblings) before I could get them, if it werent for that I would now own four crossbows. Oh, and twenty-five is nothing, I had to pay 60 for one of mine (the other was free ^_^ ).

I saw an smxx 750, the old one, at a thrift store when I was but a wee lad. (now I've grown in both the horizontal and vertical access) I really wish I had one right now, as my AT2K just aint cutting it range wise.

Yeah, SuperMaxx 750s are awesome. Especially when you get them for free. :blink:
It turns out my friend has a broken Blastfire and AT3K he never uses. He said he hated it because it's not rapid fire and said he wish he had a RF20. I offered him one (I have two) for both of them, but he said, "No!"
I asked him why, and he said, "I don't know!" Moron.
