What gun did you first use?
What gun did you first modify?
How did you start nerfing?
Here comes my answers, the first gun I used was a Nitefinder, I tried modding that Nitefinder with my dad by removing air restrictor, streching the spring and banding it. I started to nerf when I saw that beautiful Nitefinder standing on the Target shelves.
Now it's your turn.

There have been many topics like this before.
Oh! Crap! Sorry I completely forgot to search, how noobish of me. This will never happen again.

IE, there was a "what was your first gun" topic... but I think this one is different. Honestly, I find it interesting that nobody started nerf after age 15 except (kind of) myself. I only said 10- 'cause that's the first one I touched... but honestly, until January I hadn't "touched" one 'till I was 6 or 7.
On the other hand, nobody 10- has tried modding... is this perhaps because they are content with the performance? Don't have the money? The skill or the intuition?
That's why I think this topic is different -- and in a good way, too.
...and ideas are bulletproof. "

I realize that now, but I didn't then and it made me very unhappy.Honestly, I don't think kids under 10 should have a paintball gun or a go-kart. Anyways, my first gun was a ratchet blast, but either I broke it or lost it. It wasn't until a while later that I got an at3k.

Unfortunately, that maverick is now M.I.A.

When I really got into nerf was when I was 12 and went to meijer and saw a maverick. It was only 7 bucks so I bought it and I thought it was really cool. When I showed it to all of my friends they all bought mavericks too, and we started having nerf wars.
My first modification was removing the restrictors of a NF that I bought sometime later. After that I did serious mods, and just recently got brass and cpvc .

First modded gun - Same, I think. Sawed off the tip for better airflow and dart-firing capability First gun I ever opened up was probably the Crossbow or the Sharpshooter II.
Don't remember how I got into Nerf. Probably just got the first as a gift, and thought it was really fun to shoot friends so I got more.

On a side note, the amount of very young people on this and other nerf related fourms makes me very uncomfortable. 11 year olds should not have unrestricted internet acess, nor should they be given acess to toools and modding supply's without adult supervision.
I Agree. The thought of someone like my little brother with power tools is most unpleasant.
That is why you have to be 13 or older to join this board.

Edit- Oh yeah, my first mod was taking out the bbb air restrictors and putting in this plastic sheet thing that could roll up into a tube. I hadn't really thought much of brass and cpvc at the time. It shot micros around 35 ft. flat... What do you expect from a noob?

So the fourm rules state, but I have a sneaking suspicion that some of our members may not have been entirley truthful when they joined
Very true, unfortunately.
On topic:
The first time I ever modded something, I turned it into a very stylish piece of crap. It looked badass, but I was lucky if the dart left the barrel. I've come a long way since then.

First gun I nerfed with-Mav
First gun I modded-NF
I found the Mav about a year and a half ago and that got me into stock nerf. About a year later, I stumbled upon this wonderful site, and started modding.

Before I was 10, I was Nerfing with it a lot. I'd have 10+ person wars at my friends house and his parents let us move matresses and furniture around. They were probably the best wars I've had. All blasters were stock as well.
Nerf fizzled out for me for a few years, and I made my re-entry right before the collapse of NerfOnline. I was 12 or 13 at the time. This is when I first started modding guns too. I modded my SS1 first, and then I moved onto a SM1500 and then a PC. Until recently, I used my SM1500 as my primary and it hadn't needed a fix since I first modded it. But alas, a ruptured airtank causes major problems.
So yeah, I've been through it all for quite a while now. Not as long as a lot of people around here, but I have a working knowledge of Nerf history.

No, for real. I first got into nerfing when I was eightish. That gun was a powerclip which I still have. I started seriously modding them when I was on the internet searching for guns when I found this (Angels Sing Out In In Immaculate Chorus) site. That gun I modded was a nightfinder with the replaced barrel and light replacement.
It is really powerful and I thank this site for giving me the skills and ideas to start modding.
