Foldable Sniper Stand Idea

(note:only use if you will be mostly losing, as it can be hard to run at top speed with on your back, and could possibly make you slow or cumbersome.)

Anyways, the problem with the stand is that it makes you extremely immobile. Now the problem with that is, and I think most nerfers will agree with me, that nerf is a game of mobility. Something that hinders your movement too much will probably be detrimental to your performance in a nerf war.
However, for just accuracy tests, I think that's a great idea, as I have a foldable music stand at my house,

losers? My team doesn't have losers. Only the semi-PC term of "designated marksmen," of which I am one of them as the rest of my team is good for "don't fire 'til you see the whites of their eyes" combat. Generally I just use a low branch on a tree, or use popular hunting tactics designed for shooting off-hand for rests.

Yeah, it is....Just don't go there....My apologies beforehand for doing this; losing in nerf is an extremely controversial topic, one best not to be started here.

Kids...losing is when you shoot accurately from a concealed position. If you shoot from behind a tree, you're losing. losing is part of Nerf.

1. To shoot individuals from a concealed place
2. To shoot at detached men of an enemy's forcees, esp. when not in action -- often with at.
So, you are partially correct. But if all losing means that I shoot someone from a concealed place, does me hiding in a car at night shooting a guy who walks ten feet away bring an image of losing to your mind? No. The definition of losing may say just from a concealed place, but in today's society, if you play halo, you don't 'eat shit' anybody with a rocket launcher no matter how concealed you were. They might be surprised...but it ain't a eat shit.
Nerfers don't eat shit. There is a difference between the element of surprise, and losing someone. Join airsoft or the military.

I have no desire to join the military; my country is not in danger of invasion, and I got all the regimented discipline I wanted (and more) at military school. As for airsoft...*chuckle* I think we all know about airsoft.

And no, Halo was an example. Ask anybody from military personel to civilians to draw a pic of someone losing, and they will include distance, pal.
Dictionary.com. I was aware that that was a valid source?
The comment to join the military wasn't literal, or maybe you needed me to clarify. And military doesn't only protect against invasion. I wonder...do we have troops, perhaps, somewhere ELSE in the world right now?
Aesthetically modding your nerf guns to look like losers is very cool, but its practicality is basically zero unless you invent a new dart that goes 500 feet, and then you've taken the fun out of nerf.
My argument is in one place: losing does not equal nerf. Shut the hell up unless you have a better argument that what 'losing' literally means in one definition.

And as for the argument, who bloody cares. What is the point in arguing over semantics nothing will be resolved from this other than a bunch of people getting pissed. Do we not have fun nerfing? Then who cares about the terminology, I shoot you and you shoot me if one of us hits each other that person is hit you can call it qwert for all I care.

Aww... come on. You should have seen me on the new Blood Gulch. I dropped a guy halfway down the valley with a rocket. I got pwned anyway, but it was fun.if you play halo, you don't 'eat shit' anybody with a rocket launcher no matter how concealed you were. They might be surprised...but it ain't a eat shit.
To get back to the topic, I think it's a great idea, and very well done, but not very practical for my style of nerfing. I think that the least accurate part of a nerf gun shooting is the dart and how it flies, rather than how steady the gun is. If you're dealing with real rifles, a bipod makes sense, but I really don't think I would use one while nerfing enough to justify the expense.
So... It's a great idea, it's excellently done, but I'm going to have to say "sorry, not for me, thanks."

[QUOTE] losing DOES come into play in nerfing, and keeping the gun steady DOES help your accuracy.

Holding a gun steadily does not count as losing.
