Imagine you're at Deal, playing at resurrection forest, and you need something with a little more ROF to get those last few kills. You need a longshot, but all you have on you is your trusty crossbow. Or you're at Ocean Gate, and a stalemate occurs. You need something with a little more range to pick off some enemies, and that longshot surely wont do. You need a 3k or a national geographic gun, but all your stuff is back at the meeting place, too far away to go without exposing your team. Before now, the only way to remedy this was the awkward solution of straps attaching multiple guns, or large bags weighing you down. But just imagine yourself like Master Chief, pulling out guns at will. That is the NWS (Nerf Warrior System).

One day, z80, CD-R and I were all sitting around discussing stupid ideas for guns and Nerf things. CD-R mentioned having a large steel plate with magnets on your guns to attach them. We thought it was a terrible idea, heavy, clunky and bound to not work. (boy were we wrong) Two nights ago, Al and I were fixing some Nerf guns for NJNO, and got pretty bored. I remembered Robbie's idea after playing with some hard drives. We decided “Why the hell not?” We ran to the garage, got some random metal (the top of a broken router and the top of a shitty CD-Rom drive) and got to work. The base was a Nerf vest. We attached magnets from hard drives to some of his guns, and surprisingly only two magnets would hold most guns just fine. We brought it to the game yesterday, and it worked surprisingly well. I could have my 3K for hitting long range, then pull out my max shot when people got close, or vice versa. We also attached Velcro to some of my barrels, so I could attached them to his vest. It was good, but we decided it could be better. It could be more comfortable, lighter, and nicer looking. Thats what we decided to do last night, and z80 has a nice little write up.
