In Topic: It's Nerf Or Nothing

Draculabakula:

It sounds like you've made your decision on what brand to commit to. I commend you on that. Sounded kind of like me, when I was young and would only use a Mac. I'm sure Nerf is proud of your commitment to their brand.

Your entire argument is based on Nerf's old slogan, but your insistence on labeling everything else as "nothing" and using only Nerf-brand products is all you. "Nothing" would infer that these "imposter" brands don't put out anything that could even measure up to Nerf's line of blasters. I'm sure at one time this was true, however you yourself said, regarding blasters from other brands, "I'm sure a lot of them are really good guns and better than some of the guns that Nerf puts out." Yet, they are still "nothing" to you because of what... the slogan? Your personal commitment? So if Lanard produces a gun that could trounce the Titan in power and range (theoretically speaking) it would still be nothing, huh?

In the broad scheme of life, I hope you move on from this state of mind. Not that it's wrong for you to think this way - it's your choice and freedom, but I just want you to know that there is life beyond foam-shooting toy guns and marketing slogans.

As for only wearing the shades from the Dart Tag set, what did you wear before for eye-protection (both from darts and from the sun), seeing that it only came out recently?

In Topic: West Coast Late For Firefly?

I've done pretty much the same thing. I live in SoCal, and I went to multiple Walmarts and TRUs - no luck. I don't know... didn't the West Coast get the NStrike Unity (when it first came out) later than the other parts of the U.S.?

In Topic: Firefly Out Online

There's no way those pics are legit. I held the Firefly myself, and it was NOT that fucking HUGE. It's comparabile in size to a RF20 (kinda). Unless murokumo is a friggin midget, the Firefly just ain't that big.

What is it with the string of BULLSHIT on these boards lately?

Not vouching for the legitimacy of those pictures or anything, but he could be holding it out in front of him, towards the camera, thus making it look bigger (due to perspective).

Those are some awfully blurred pictures, though :(.

In Topic: Punch Into A Shot?

23 June 2005 - 01:24 PM

I do it sometimes with my Maverick, and it does seem to benefit some, but not by much. The Maverick is pretty inaccurate as it is (with stefans... maybe just mine)... punching into each shot makes the dart velocity higher (slightly more range), but at the cost of even more accuracy.

The BB's got nifty range, and decent accuracy once modded, but falls short in the ROF department. You have to pump the thing 8+ times for one shot. Think of it as an infant Titan.
