I haven't been on here in a LONG time and I just started getting back into nerf.

So on to my topic. Has anyone managed to mod the new transformers blasters yet? I tried searching and everything but got nothing.

Thank you.

A while back I was sitting around with some friends talking about elementary school memories. One of our favorites was the rubberband and paper hornets. We then came up with an idea to make these giant hornets and shoot them with a coat hanger with 2 or 3 rubberbands connecting on both sides of the hanger. The result was similar to a sling shot. We made a ton of ammo and set up some cover in my basement and played. These things aren't the best in accuracy but they definitely hit hard. I was hit from about 20 ft away once and I could feel the sting.

Here is one of my sling shots. If you're going to play, make sure you use this kind of coat hanger. You can also store one hornet on each side of the hanger.


Some of the ammo:


When we were playing upstairs, we flipped a desk chair in my bedroom upside down and supported the seat of it on the edge of my bed. Then we tied about 5 rubberbands together and used it as a cannon. This thing is powerful.


I don't know if this has been played before, so I won't take any credit. Hope you like it.

I read an article on the web about a nerf assassination type game played over a period of time. Kids in a high school would form teams of up to I think five people. Each team had an entry fee of like $40. You could be shot anywhere in a normal every day situation except at school. The game would last until there was one team left and they would recieve the prize money. What's amazing is that they recruited MANY people.

I want to host a similar game this summer over by where I live (southeast MI). Next to my neighborhood is my friends' high school; I would go there but my dad put me in private school . My old middle school is located right in front of the track/field and the high school which is way in the back. There are a couple of baseball diamonds located on both sides of everything and then a large tennis court area. There are also many trees and good cover all around the area. Instead of playing for a period of time like in the article, I was thinking of having the game last from late morning to mid-afternoon. It wouldn't be played over a few weeks because of the lack of participants that would be willing to play in my area. There are only a few true nerfers out in my area including myself. I know I'd be able to recruit at least up to 20-25 people because I have a lot of friends that are starting to get interested in nerf though. The entry fee would be like $15 per team. Oh, and what's really sweet is that right down the street by the high school there's a gas station and pizza place where we can all eat and stuff.

So tell me, do you think it would be worth it to organize this? It seems like it would be a lot of fun and I welcome anyone in the Michigan/ Mid-west area to come and play for the day.

I've been modding my at3k with the help of my friend dj since friday night. We didn't have any barrel material so we were forced to use crayolas. We cut the stock barrels down to the right spot and tried so stick the crayolas in and they didn't fit. We went home and the next morning we opened it up to drain the blue goo and clog the valve. Then i stuck one hollowed out crayola in and glued it and supported it with tape. With about 4 pumps it got across my whole upstairs area (est. 35'). I shot about 5 rounds and now it isn't working. I'll pump it and pull the trigger but no air is coming out. I'm new to modding air guns so could you guys give me some help here?

Thanks,

Mike.
