Idea For "nerf-proof" Vest

I was thinking maybe you could take vest (any kind that fits you) and add some sort of protective plating. I was thinking maybe taking one of those semi-hard/floppy "Keep Out" signs you find at the hardware store and trimming it down to the proper size. You can then put it on the outside or inside of the vest (I haven't decided) and secure it by duct-taping it.

My personal technique is to not get hit. I find it works pretty well. But hey, that's just me.

who needs a vest when you can block shots with your teeth?

Ask Talio or Langley what it was like getting shot in the face from close range. I drew blood on Langley. I've gotten welts and all kinds of miserable marks from various blasters out there. It's part of the game.
For the record, I don't fear a gun that shoots holes through fucking STYROFOAM. Come talk to me when you're blasting through sheet metal.

Also, I have seen the armor-piercing mountain gun.

On a more serious note, why on Earth would you be letting your little sister play? Not gonna lie, but you're just setting yourself up for disaster with that one. For real. Don't get me wrong, I've Nerfed along side and against some females, and some of them could actually take hits better than most of the guys could. Gender and age issues aside, I think you need to find some new Nerfing companions.
Seriously.

That said...
I would not hesitate to wear a n-strike armor suit to a nerf war. I've been working on one since I got my LS because it's absolutely badass. I helmet needs a HUD though, like in the n-strike dvd. Man I'm a total geek. Makes a cool Halloween costume though .

100% Nerf, for 100% pwnage.
Nerf is a neutral weapons dealer. Anyone coughing up the dough can get armed.
and they're made of Foam... which makes them very Nerfy...

Who said anything about them being stuffed? Unless of course you mean filled with soft squishy food, so that they provide even more cushioning.
But on a serious note: try and find some other people to Nerf with. There's nothing wrong with Nerfing with your sister; but if you want to use 'heavier weapons' find people more willing to get hit. My general rule is that if I feel bad about shooting them, they're not the right kind of person to be playing with seriously. If we're just dicking around inside, that’s another story.
But if you want to have a more 'intense' war, find several people about your age or older and play with them. Don't try and up-armor your sister so she can take more and more hits so she eventually becomes a target. That’s not fun for you or her. And fun is what this is all about, right?

I Nerf with my friends all the time, but when I'm not with my friends, I have to satisfy my "need for nerf".

As others in this thread have said, just wear a sweat shirt.

Simple, just duct tape kittens or puppies to your sister so when you shoot at her, they hit the kittens / puppies instead. Kittens actually make great protective padding. Personally, I never leave home without them.
On a more serious note, why on Earth would you be letting your little sister play? Not gonna lie, but you're just setting yourself up for disaster with that one. For real.

I totally agree on this one. My friends older sister was at home with her boyfriend and we were havin' a party and were in the middle of a match when she grabbed a firefly layin around full-0-ammo and let loose. She thought nerf was those "Sissy litty foam balls and such" and she ended up on one of the teams. We were inside and she was getting shot a HELLOVA LOT LESS than we were (5 guys) (2 noobs 1 pro v 2 pro) and she was havin a great time. (shes a senior now and it was in the summer break). I can see playing with yer sis, but you are gonna get grounded when you nail her just right and she starts cryin' saying MOMMY HE HURT ME! So I suggest not trying to get her armor, and trying to work on your aim and skills with weak guns.
My methodology to be Armored is Duck, weave, and most importantly PAY ATTENTION FOR ONCE IN YOUR FREAKING LIFE!!! If you look, you can see how your opponent is aiming, and wait untill he firesand just sidestep or duck. DEHR!!!.
Well that be my $0.02.

1) Don't be a wuss
2) If you can't take the heat, get out of the oven
3) Tell your sister if she doesn't want to get shot, then don't play
There's my $ 0.02
