Hello users of NerfHaven, you probably haven't seen me around but I've been lurking and this is my first post in a while. But on topic, did anyone know that the Magstrike was officially discontinued? I'm sorry if this is old news, but I never knew this. I e-mailed customer service about getting new magazines and they replied saying that Magstrikes aren't in production anymore.

I am very sorry to advise, however, the Magstrike is no longer in production and our inventory of replacement parts for it has been depleted.

This is part of the e-mail I received.

Never mind.

I have thought of taking a Long Strike:

And giving a beastly paint job looking like this:

But with the actual logo slightly tilted on either side of the gun, with the checkers as a background. With the words in random places on the gun. I know this doesn't have anything good in the post, but I want to know my fellow Nerfers opinions on a paint job like this. And to the mods out there if this somehow disobeys the code of conduct please delete this topic.
Question? Comments? Flames?

I've seen many attempts at creating an under barrel grenade launcher. Well my design starts with a story, I was having one of those ice cream push ups, and when I saw the pushy-thingy I thought "That would fit perfectly in 1-1/2" PVC" So I got home and it fit, I looked up at what size PVC "Ballistic Balls" fit best in. 1-1/2" PVC! So from there one I sacrificed a Strike-Fire and got the spring out since I don't wanna order any [k26] springs for now I put the Strike-Fire spring in. Basically I've got about 6 inches of PVC with a custom fit end cap in the end with a hole in it. For the plunger head that's the push-pop pushy-thingy. By screw the plunger head is attached to a dowel attached to a t-connecter. The t-connecter is outside the whole assembly and when you pull back it primes the launcher. Since I'm too lazy to make a trigger for now I'll just have a removable pin that goes in front of the plunger head.

P.S. Pictures will be posting in the next few hours.

EDIT I got a longsrike spring in, but the screw popped out so gotta glue it in.
EDIT If this design doesn't work I'll make an actual air seal
