Nerfy BuNNy

Hey guys,

About the getting molds for spheres. If you were able to find a huge big stamp thing, that made dozens at a time, that would be very efficient. However, I find that even if with them as oval like structures, they still fly extremely well. They do not need to be BB perfect. Even, a clump of poorly shaped Plasticine flies extremely far and very fast. It just doesn't have the same effect on impact.

Cylindrical / Bullet like ammunition hasn't proved worthy yet. Most of the time, it is too heavy, and is not aerodynamic at all. They mostly get stuck, as there is too much surface contact with the inner faces of the barrel.

Oval Like, and generally "spherical" shapes do very well. I did an outdoor shot with my SM 1500. I was getting around 130 plus feet ranges. However, with a little push from my hand while I shot, I was able to receive incredibly powerful shots which reached houses across my street and hit the siding with a huge thump. (I did run inside too).

That was over 200 Feet for sure, but, that's with a boost so that probably doesn't count much. I don't understand why these fly so fast, it seems they have a very nice balance between weight / size. Not to mention they are extremely cheap and easy to make.

I was playing with them today at a friends house, too bad for him he took his shirt off whilst we played. The bullets were very accurate as I was hitting him (while he was bouncing around) almost every single time. He told me it felt like small Paintballs. I know that doesn't sound very nerf, but I like having a cross between non messy Paintball, and the awesome-factor of Airsoft (without getting sued for having a gun that actually looks like a "gun").

Anyone try these yet?

I apologize for the double post, but here are some videos that I uploaded onto Youtube. I believe the second one is currently still pending.

This is the first one, just showing how it is loaded and shot. It hit the target I was aiming for, thank god it did. Or else, I would have looked like a failure.



This is the video for test 2 where you can actually see it slice through some carton.

A third video is coming to demonstrate COLDER / WARM bullets! You can see it stick against the surface, and one to repel. You can figure out which one is colder and which one is not

I will link it soon as it is uploading

Hmm... I was thinking about making this with my friend a little while ago except we had problems of:
-Plasticine getting stuck to the wall and making oil marks
-Freezeing it will prevent marks most likely but will hurt more (we play indoor nerf wars)
-Hard to make a spherical shape.

So i'm guessing you have none of these problems? (Sorry if I forgot to read a part)

Well, Here are the answers to that:.

Plasticine getting stuck to walls and making oil marks. Not really a problem for me, as I do indoor nerf too, and Stefans usually leave dents or scratches for me. Oil Marks may be better, but those only happen when you leave them there for awhile and they are relatively warm. However, Oil vs Water + Dishwasher Soap is no match. The water and Dsoap cleans it up in 1 swipe if it bothers you too much.

For me, making a sphere and choosing the amount of plasticine to make it with usually takes a total of 10-15 seconds. Thats how I make so many in such little time. You usually rest a premade and measured one on the table, and work to make all your other bullets around the same size. It's quite easy actually, and i'm thinking of making a video of me making one in a few seconds.

Thanks for watching.

About it not being nerf enough:

I find that it only hurts a bit more than a Stefan at decently close range. It also depends on the power of the gun. These bullets work the best in Air Pump guns like, AT2k , or my SM1500.

In some cases, they might even hurt less outdoors or at longer ranges. I have never tested these bullets at ranges going further than 80-100ft.

I doubt it would hurt at that range, but most things wouldn't anyways. I wouldn't say that this would be too deadly or violent like Airsoft. It's just a fast way to make a large amount of bullets, which have the effect and efficiency of Stefans, but have the potential to stick to walls like stock darts.

I find it fun to use, as I always liked getting a little hurt while playing Nerf. Nothing you would cry over, and there would be no "large" bruises, or any purple / blue bruising. It's just a red mark and depending on how hard you get hit, it may pertrude from your skin. Like, when you get whipped by a leather belt for example, after awhile there will be a pertruding mark on your arm.

Pictures are coming in a second, have to reboot.

Alright , I will try and get some photos up. Only reason I haven't is because I use Vista, and my Logitech Cam doesn't work with vista. (I am finding drivers now)

Some answers:

The balls do not get covered in hair, because they solidify when you stop molding them. They become too hard for hair to really get stuck in them. When you mold them, you use your hands (once you get good, you use 3 fingers and do it in a matter of seconds) and I assume your hands are not very hairy and have loose hairs.

The only time you would ever get hair is if you fired one directly at one, and the bullet was relatively warm.

The bullets shoot extremely fast, probably fast as or faster than my Stefan darts.

- Here are some test results -
I shot 40 feet with my SM 1500, my Stefan dart strayed off course, but my plasticine projectile kept going decently straight and very fast. Outdoors though, I would think that Stefans fly further because they are bigger and they do not get carried by wind as easily. But, I am still not sure, since spherical projectiles usually work surprisingly well outdoors for low velocity and non-lethal weapons.

One of my frozen bullets shot through a stack of 5-6 papers and ricocheted of the wall behind the stack (meaning it did not lose that much power whilst going through). I did not try more papers, but seeing as how fast it was going, it could probably make it through many more.

It clearly cut through one of my cardboard boxes, I don't even know how. It depends though, if you shoot against a box that has lets say a ink film over it (or lots of glossy print) it most likely will not go through and the bullet would flatten on the face which hit the box because of how fast it is going. This however, is also dependent on what is stored in the box, whether it is hollow or decently solid from contents.

Even with them not frozen or cold, they still work extremely well. What is cool is that you do not lose many as once they are warmed up because they always stick to surfaces, it is extremely rare that they would bounce back unless they were frozen solid like a rock (which only lasts like 15 minutes of No use).

If you shoot it relatively frozen, it will hit the wall and fall directly in front of it and not ricochet off like the glue tips of the Stefans. Mainly because the plasticine is hard and soft at the same time, on high impact it can compress and absorb energy, but it is stable and hard enough to be molded into a trustworthy bullet.

What they look like before I get pictures up:

They are just round spherical balls which are smaller than paintballs but a bit larger than the largest size BB.

You should really try this for yourself! make sure the bullets aren't too small and roll down too well as it will lose lots of power. You should have a snug fit (where you have to give it a blow to the bottom of the barrel). That is when the bullet is firing at maximum potential.

I love micro stefans, but the only people I can practice NERF with are my cousins, they are too scared of stefans... x(
