Well I'm not sure what else to say about the Stefan moddel 2. My idea is putting a spiral imprint into the hot glue dome of a stefan, giving it greater accuracy. The supplies you need to make the imprint (aside from normal stefan materials) are; acrylic/epoxy, lard/butter, and something to moddel what you want the dart tip to look like. Here's what you do.
1.Take the moddeling material you're using to make the tip of the moddel 2 stefan and put 3 twisting curves by either putting small raised impressions on the tip of the dart, or by putting an indent into the dart head. (tip, curve should not exceed past top of the curve starting point on the next groove/risen twist)
2.Check your work. I don't think I can stress this enough how important it is to get the grooves right. 1 bad twist and you should correct it or start again. If you don't, all of the stefans you make are crap.
3.Take the material and cover it in lard/butter. (Though with some materials you may not need this step. Also to anyone making the moddel out of wood: I highly suggest you sand the head incredibly smoothe to ensure no iregular surfaces cause drag. Iroinic, I actually suggest you use wood if you have the tools.)
4.Prepare the acrylic/epoxy and a small box of some sort. (hot glued cardboard should work fine)
5.Pour the acrylic/epoxy filling the box about 60-75% full. Place the moulding piece into the acrylic/epoxy and let sit untill hardened and remove the moulding piece. (I suggest you hold it there or rig it to do that on its own. Epoxy comes in time incraments [until hardening]. The times are 5 and 30 min., and I suggest you get the 5 min. one.)
6. Cover the mould in lard/butter and make an M-2 stefan head in the mold with hot glue. Make sure to fill the mould compleatly to avoid defects in the cast.
7.(A)Attach the head to the rest of the body in the mould while the glue is still hot and let it cool. This is another dificult part to do because you could put the head off center.
7.(B)Smoothe out the top of the piece you moulded with ice or a wet finger. Also make sure that the top is perfect and when it cools, take it out and glue it to the rest of the stefan.

Yes I know this is a bit a a complicated proccess that may take you a few times to get the mould/casting right. However if you make good M-2 stefans, they will be priceless in the game and worth the effort.

Tips, Hints, and Locations:
Acrylic-can be gotten online
Epoxy- any craft store (sepratly sold are stiring sticks and cups)
Wood to use- I suggest poplar or red oak.
When making the groove/raised twist, mark point "A" and point "B" on the tip and work from there.
Always test the darts you make extensivly to make sure your mould as well as your castingss are comming out right.

Grading M-2's: only if you really want to

First, write whether the spiral is raised or in a grove and show this as a letter.(R or G)
If you have one, take a graduated cylinder and find it's volume (in CC)
Then write the spiral deterance from the center in 8ths of an inch from the bottom of where the next grove over would be if it was strait. If your groove is short of this point you would mark it a -1 for one 8th of an inch from the "standard point"
If it's past that point you would write it as +1 for every 8th of an inch past the standard point.

You would write it as R-(volume in cc)-(+ or - the standard point) or G-(volume in cc)-(+ or - the standard point)

An example, a grooved, M-2, 2.5cc's and a standard of -3 would be written as this:

G - 2.5 - (-3)

If it was a positave 3 standard it would be writen like so:

G - 2.5 - (+3)

Just wondering what the standard among the nerfers are.

Also I mis-typed the first choice. I meant The Nite Finder, not the Nite Strike.

This kid in my class made a nerf pen and he's going to bring me the plans for this inginius device.

How it works: When you press the back of the pen to use it the ejection piece cocks, and to fire it you apply pressure to the ball point.

The use of it: Pissing people off

The benifit: Laughter

The cost: About $50-$60 (because parts have to be specially orderd from china) and any injury or punishment you may recive from the pissed off person.

When it's comming out: When my friend can find the plans/remake them if they're lost.

AT LONG LAST I have found a way to carry guns, hands and iritation free. PEOPLE OF NERF, I GIVE YOU THE RAIL HOLSTER!

After creating this I found out quickly that this holster couldn't hold up heavier guns like the longshot, so I made one with a strap that goes over your opposite shoulder, here it is next to the original.

Here is how they're worn

This is the basic concept of what the holster is:

As you could see when my longshot was on the holster, I had moved the rail to the back. This is because with anything heavier than a maverick, you need the rail on the gun backwards so it doesn't slide off. The reason I moved the rail to the back is partly due to the fact that I couldn't turn it around over the chamber, but the gun won't hang right if I were to turn it around there. (You draw a gun that way with regular holster anyways.) The trick to getting the gun off is to press the holster to yourself so it doesn't move while you draw the gun. When your using the forward holster, you just do the same pulling down.

Please tell me what you think of my mod/concept as I expect this to revolutionize nerf and nerf wars.

Okay i'd like to say sorry about the grammar and spelling that I just now fixed. I had hit the post button accidentally and then I relized what time it was and had only enough time fix the URL problem, and I couldn't fix the spelling or grammar. I had to go to church. What, do you expect me to blow that to fix my grammar?
