Its been awhile since I've done anything with a Nerf Gun but since I'm home for teh first time in 6 months, theres a war tomorrow, and I don't really have any functional guns, I felt the need to make something cool. So here it is, the Crossbow Tactical, with an integrated at2k in the bottom and flashlight. The ranges on both of the guns are standard, nothing special. The cool part about it is the trigger mech, you can fire both barrels with their respective triggers while holding the gun in the two-handed grip. The 2k handle on the front is surprisingly comfortable on the side like that. The flashlight looks cool, and may be helpful in urban night wars.

In any case here are some pictures:



and the top view (you can see the 2k handle)



This is the baddest-assest gun I've done in a long long time.

Got the right idea there. If you ask me relocate that flash light. Integration is nothing new here at nerf haven especcially with the crossbow. Thats really all i have to say. And a weapon that big might not serve u well in urban combat becosue its not like your going to nerf in a huge office building but you will be nerfing in your own home, It will be a tight squeeze for that gun good luck anyway.

Nice gun you have there, very clean integration. I love it. I like the fact too that you only used part of the at2k integrating. What is hloding them together? And just a suggestion you don't have to take, it would be cool if youput the flashlight where the orignal barrel used to be. Over all, it's great!

Joey, put a sock in it, it's a very clean integration. And original, have to seen the same thing done? Why the hell would it matter in a NERF war how big your gun is? Have you even ever had a nerf war? Could you do any better? I haven't seen you even do an integration.

I think that Joey doesn't know that Veggie has been here for much longer than many of the newer guys here, and since Veg went off to the Naval Academy before he signed up, perhaps he thinks that he's a newbie. Without a clan.

Wrong on both counts.

Nice x-bow, Veggie. Good to see you back, at least for now. Tell Lefty I said, "yo".

If only joey knew about lil abner and the sneakshot2k.... Nice integration veggie. Very simple yet to the point.

I like the way you set everything, but I would change your current flashlight to a maglight. I kinda think your flashlight takes away from the overall quality of your crossbow.

Im not trying to be mean or any thing but its kinda ugly. Why dident you just put the at2k internals inside of the X bow it would have looked better but still thats preaty cool how the at2k hanndel is still out there.

Sorry guys i didnt say it was a bad integration, its just im a bit picky about my weapons.

Substance over style, man. I would take the worst looking gun imaginable if it shot 100 ft vs the best looking gun if it shot 20.

A: You have no idea where he might use this thing. It could be in the woods, in a building complex, a neighborhood, almost anywhere can accomodate a large gun. It isn't even that big to start with, and I am willing to bet that it is pretty light and comfortable.

B: It isn't even your gun, so how does that sentence matter?

Wow. Thanks for telling me how it is here at the haven, man.

Thanks for backing me up, Piney.

The original part about this gun isn't the fact that its a 2k inside a crossbow. Of course that's been done. The original part about this gun is the trigger system for the 2k. It took quite a bit of pretty precise dremeling and gluing to get that thing to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.

Thanks for the feedback too. The flahlight on there was the only one I had acessible at the moment, and It actually did help out in the war the next day once it got dark out.

This thing was pretty darn good at the war.

Veg was having a hard time aiming because he wasn't very used to it. I noticed it was taking him awhile to reload.

If i were him, i would have put the turret on just because ROF is very important to me.
