Id like to do some mods to this gun but i cant search it if i dont even know what its called.



Theres no branding of any kind on the gun itself other than a made in china.
It didnt come with any type of nerf dart, or typical buzz bee dart. Instead it came with these green darts, that are slightly longer, and have harder, heavier tips than usual darts.

It fires by first pulling the trigger to spin the gears (similar to the tommy 20) and then you push the foregrip forward and it moves the dart into the gears to send it flying.

Sooooooo, name and brand anyone?

Okay so first off, ive seen quite a few things saying that basic AR's removed etc. will get about 35 ft or so. Well i'm guessing those are older nfs because i have the newer ones, all of which are unmodded and go that distance flat, and one that consistently gets 40 flat (YEAH I KNOW, UNMODDED!). Im looking to make my NF get about 60' flat with streamlines and/or taggers. I say this so please, spare me the 30 replies saying that stefans will increase range, our wars only use the 2. Chiefly, is this possible?

What i had in mind was removing the AR and using CPVC/brass for the barrel(ive heard that 4 inches works best), double the o-ring, and is it possible to nest something in the NF spring? (ive got mavs, 10-shots, front of a longshot, and a doubleshot). If not, or if it is better, i could replace it with a lowes/home depot/ace spring (preferably whatever's best without really needing to reinforce the gun). Now onto my AR questions, ive heard there's 2? Huh? Ive seen pictures of the internals plenty of times and only seen one. I have not yet taken mine apart because i am cheap and do not want to risk breaking a gun. As for the spring -> 3-prong-thingamabob -> stick-that-the-darts-slide-onto restrictor, would it be better to just lost the spring/3 prong thing and keep the other part with the stick and not drill it out since i am sticking with using stock darts? or would breaking the stick off and drilling this out still improve range for stock also? and would all this reach 60' for streamlines/taggers or would something more need to be done?

Okay, so first off, who the hell am I and why should you listen(read)?
Basically, Im a new member to Nerf Haven, just joined, not really sure about this nerf haven stuff BUT almost a year and a half ago I started Nerf Wars. At the time we had about 16 people and we had battles around the outside areas of our school. Over time we have grown, and we've had wars in plenty of places from parks to giant back yards that we spent about an hour dragging everything from boats to grills to washing machines out into to use as cover, but most of them do occur at our school. Like i was saying, we've grown, we now have 25-35 people coming to each one, and usually have at least a war a month (in our december war, we had about 34 people attend, while in an early January war we only had 26). So yeah, basically i have no idea how much im going to type but some things im going to cover (i'll list them now so you can decide now if youd like to continue reading or not) are how our Nerf Wars club started/works and how we've grown, types of games n ideas to make wars more interesting that we do, and I guess finally some quick details about the next war if you're interested (these will be in that order so if only one interests you, skip to that paragraph now).

How does our Nerf Wars operate that we've grown so successful?
Alright, so when we REALLY started was just me and about 3-4 of my friends shooting each other and having little matches in my house, and eventually outside. I found out that i could get "creativity" hours (for my IB classes we need certain sets of hours, and planning crap, really anything, can count as creativity) for planning a Nerf War. So I had about 200 darts or so, a couple guns, and a couple friends, and we needed chiefly, more people and more darts. So what i decided that we would do, and still do now, is this: The "Nerf Wars" group will provide everyone with a water and all of the darts we will be using, if you do not have a gun and would like to come, we can lend you a nightfinder or something. To afford this, we (i just realized ive been saying "we" a lot, when until more recently, it was more just "me," but whatever) decided to charge people to attend. For a mere $3 they could get a water, and the enjoyment of a nerf war without the worry that they might lose any of their darts. So we bought darts, (i feel that i should note here that we dont really use any fancy or custom darts, just the taggers, the loser darts(streamlines), and more recently (with vulcans being introduced) the whistlers (whatever vulcans come with), but we only buy the taggers and streamlines, if people bring vulcans and lose darts, i just let them take taggers to replace what theyve lost cuz they work the same) and we bought water (you can get 24 for $4 and sometimes $3 if its on sale) and we went out to the back of our school where we had the bleachers, a couple concession stands, and the concrete posts descending from the back of the bleachers, and these huge dirt mounds underneath the back of the bleachers too(but those are no longer there), and we just sort of winged it. We did a couple death match rounds of one team vs the other (picked teams b4 hand obviously), and a couple ctf rounds using the vests we had as flags(for how our battles specifically work, see next paragraph), and it took a couple hours. Afterwards we had to find darts, so i just offered a prize of $10 to the person who could find the most darts at the end, and as people compete and several people bring you a bunch, you get your darts found and its well worth the $10 because thats about 100-200 darts you dont have to rebuy. You also obviously find more if you have everyone searching.
Alright, and then I was done, I had my hours, I had a fun Nerf War, etc. But then apparently EVERYONE had fun at the Nerf War and demanded future wars. And well, I made it happen, we did the same process with the $3 so we would basically build up a stockpile of darts, and had another war with 16 people, and another war with 18 or so (Damn im typing a lot (just realized it (sorry if youre reading it all but i hope its helpful))). Simply put, at this point we needed more people, so I did this thing where if you brought somebody new to nerf wars you would get $1 back for yourself, and yes, technically if they brought like 10 people they could come in for free and get $7 profit but would nerf wars care cuz we would get $30 from the people (and nobodys ever done that). Either way it helped and over time we got a couple more people here and there, and as we got bored made some new games and chaged some of them around a little bit (see below) and now we have like 30 people.
This year when school started I wrote up a Club Constitution and we got a teacher sponsor so that we could become an official school club. This definitely helps with a meeting place to determine the next war's location and date, suggest new ideas, etc. This also makes it easier to get approval for playing outside the school so we dont get yelled at or whatever. Now we are making club shirts and have a pretty good dart stockpile and everything. As we began to have more and more darts we started to offer a 2nd place $5 award for finding them too. If you have some money and plenty of darts you can also decrease the price slightly. Also give at least one week of school to collect the money and (what we do) make it so that the price is $3 starting the day before and the day of, but only $2 if you before that. This makes sure that people will pay earlier and thusly be more likely to come since they made the investment beforehand.
Also, what I think is a big of part of why we've grown is how casual we are about it, I handle the meetings loosely and just approach everyone with a laidback tone at the wars themselves. Nobody really takes it THAT seriously. I mean i look at some of you guys and all these crazy mods and everything but nobody at any of ours has ever modded a gun, i mean i tried and failed like twice but just gave up and didnt even bother trying again (although i might sometime in the future). One time though one kid had a paintball gun that could screw a pvc on the end and he was using it as a loser rifle. He could shoot clear across the football field and then some with the gun held flat with no problems and perfect accuracy. We ended up having to make him stop though because people complained that, lets face it, it hurt. He ended up unscrewing the pvc and using it as a blowdart, and it shoots just as good as a maverick (and can shoot multiple darts as a a makeshift shotgun thing). Either way, we are just looking for people to have fun, and the first time people come, they dont even need a gun. As i said, we lend them some of ours, and almost always, they have a good time and go buy a gun of their own for the next time.

What types of games'n'crap do we do?
Alright so we of course have the regular deathmatches and ctfs. In case there are variations I'll explain our ctf, we also do VIP, and are gonna try a conversion type game next war. We also have so odd things we do that make the regular games more interesting and fun.
For the ctfs we set out the vests that come with the tegger sets as flags, and set respawn points a little ways behind each flag, you cant grab the other team's flag if yours is not in place, and when you got shot carrying a flag you must just drop it right there and someone else can pick it up. You win by having a member of your team, while holding the opposing team's flag, touch your respawn point.
As for VIP, what this is is where we pick leaders, (could be 2 teams or whatever, but we usually to 3 or 4 because it's more fun) and each leader picks a respawn point for his team. If the VIP of a team is shot, that team gets no more respawns but each person still has their last life and CAN win but must play conservatively (or not, depending on your mood, you could just rush the VIP that killed you for revenge and die). Either way, last team standing with nobody else on any other teams left wins.
Now for interesting random crap that we do. I first want to say, swords. We've been doing this from the beginning, if you have a plastic or foam knife or sword, you can use it to kill people also to conserve ammo (also helps in rushing). I also think it's funny that today i saw in target that nerf actually came out with Nerf brand swords for people to use, but they are like 13 or 14 dollars, i dont remember exactly, so i wouldnt get them. We also allow people to block darts with their guns, and deflect them off of things, as long as its not the ground. Yes this does mean that if you combine these two rules you CAN in fact use your gun to bat people's own darts back at them. More recently, as in the past 2 or 3 wars, we started this thing that works really well and i would at least suggest giving it a try. What you do is say that you can be revived. Sort of borrowing from the principles or Army of Two or Gears, when you get shot once, you must sit down and can continue shooting, and a teammate can come over and pull you up to "revive" you, but if you are shot a second time while sitting you are completely out and must go respawn. You also have to go respawn if you just get shot twice even before you sit down. The rule that you actually have to sit down is there so that two people cant just cling to each other so they cant die like some sort of autorevive crap.

Wow Jack, that crap sounds really fun, but I'm too lazy to make my own Nerf Wars club, can I just come to your next war?
Sure! There is no age limit and we've had people from ages 7-22 at our wars (little kids make good ninjas), it is January 24th at Noon. Each war lasts until we get tired, but usually ends somewhere around 3 or 4. The next one will be at Cape Coral High School, in SW Florida, and we will be meeting by the bleachers, its $3 to come.

You can read all the info and if you would like see some pictures of past wars (we have a lot of pictures, but havent taken pictures at all of them), you can do so at the Nerf Wars myspace, myspace.com/capenerfwars. If you want, you can also check out our commercial for our school news if you click on videos from the myspace.

And yeah, thats about it, damn i typed a lot, hopefully you got something out of it, tell me what you think?
