After much studying and debate, I plan on using a NF, LnL, Mav, and RF20. My partner will be using an X-bow, NF, and Mav, so he provides the ranged capabilities while I cover him in close combat, etc.

But my real question is...I need a way to be able to strap all 4 of these guns to my body and still be able to mantain a sprint without any of the guns falling off.

My idea is to create two leg holsters that will hold my NF and my LnL to the sides of both of my legs. (Just like this: http://cops911.com/i...liminatorSM.jpg)

The next challenge is to create a holster for my Mav. I have no idea where to place this holster or how to make it. Any suggestions here are welcome.

Lastly, I plan on putting a strap on my RF20. This is easy and no suggestions are really needed here.

Any suggestions on creating any of the three holsters I am out to make would be great. I do not want to create hard durable holsters with wire and cardboard, etc. Just a simple piece of fabric that the gun will fit into will do fine. In fact, I think that making the holsters may not be hard, just finding the right type of fabric (durable, soft, light, and sturdy) and then creating the necessary attachments. Any suggestions here too would be a big help.

This may not work will this many guns, but I am going to give it a try. If it doesn't then I can just cut out a gun or two, but I would like to see if I can get all four attached to me, yet still remain agile and streamlined. Thanks.

He siad not a durable holster, just something light like fabric. I'd say use a sock. It's lightweight, sturdy, durable and relatively soft. It sounds stupid but it would work. I don't know if you could find a sock big enough for the Mav. Maybe a soccer sock? Good luck.

It's going to be very interesting sprinting with 4 guns attached to your body. I'd say drop the Mav, and take either the NF or LnL with your RF20. This is just an opinion but it works for me.

There is no way your going to be able to run with four guns on you. You should drop the nf or lnl. If you have two thigh holsters on you won't be able to carry darts in you cargo pockets so you should have belt holsters. To make a simple holster take cardboard and roll it around the gun ,then duct tape it or wrap the front half of the gun with duct tape(sticky side out) then wrap it non-sticky sideout so its not sticky. You could also make a holster and tape it to the side of the rapid fire 20 so you can fire it while holding the rf20.(this would also work for you friend with the crossbow) After you make your holster take it and run around with I on, hit it against things(take the gun out) because thats what is going to happen during a nerf war. If any thing doesn't hold reinforce it with lots of duct tape.

When your covering you friend, fire in short bursts so you don't run out of ammo a lot and every time you get reload/pump. With some practice you plan should work.

What? Lose the mav. Sure the LnL and the NF don't have the ROF of a mav, but hell you have an rf20 and a clean shot from 40 feet from an LnL will guarantee you a better advantage then if you had a Mav.

I'd personally just pocket a NF and keep the rf20 out. Then again, personally I'd be on the sm1500 instead of an rf20, but that's just me.

I think that I might be able to pull it off. If both pistols are securely attached to the sides of my legs then they won't create too much of a hastle. The RF20 will be in my hands, and the Mav will be somewhere (maybe a back strap). If worse comes to worse and I find that I cannot keep up my speed with these guns, then I will lose the NF. The RF20 is my primary, with the LnL as a backup. The Mav to me is a "holdout" gun. It is the last resort. I use it when I have nothing left. It can fire 6 shots in minimal time.

The real question is what kind of fabric would work to make my holsters out of?
Also, does anyone know where I can purchase "backpack-like" clips to secure these things to my legs? Or even some sort of elastic band that will go around my leg?

[flamebo388]

I'd check a fabric store for the clips and a good fabric for holsters.

Suit yourself, I'l still be using my NF and SM1500. All I'm saying is 4 guns will add a lot of weight and will be extremely annoying. But like I said, suit yourself.

I suggest craft foam, it might take a little longer to make, but it is just as light and durable as cloth/fabric is. Like the ones shown here. They can be purchased at most major crafting stores, about two sheets of those and you should have a decent durability. Good luck with your holsters!
