Some Guy

My name is Nick, you may know me as the crazy modder who decided to disprove the nerf Facebook community by completing a rebuild of the FAR (Fast Action Rifle); arguably the most difficult/cool homemade nerf blaster you can make that comes with "instructions." It all started when I was seeking to build a cool blaster. I was looking through designs, when I saw Boltsniper's beast, the FAR. It is not very effective (not even practical,) but it is FLIPPING AWESOME. I brought it to the attention of the NIC Facebook community that I was planning on building it. The immediate response was that I was on a fools quest, as many other FAR enthused nerfers gave up soon upon starting it. It took 3 months and a tons of time (120 hours of build time), but I made a gold FAR using Daimler's catch system (along with his personal help.) Thus, the name Fools Gold. It still has a few kinks, but it wouldn't take me very long to perfect its function.

Other than that project, I have made 10+ homemade blasters, and I have done many more mods. Nerf was really fun to bring to lock-ins, show off to friends and family, I really like shooting stuff, and that's mostly what kept me in this hobby. I have been mostly inactive with the nerf modding for several months now, but I figured I should spend some time to update anyone.
