Its been awhile since I've done anything with a Nerf Gun but since I'm home for teh first time in 6 months, theres a war tomorrow, and I don't really have any functional guns, I felt the need to make something cool. So here it is, the Crossbow Tactical, with an integrated at2k in the bottom and flashlight. The ranges on both of the guns are standard, nothing special. The cool part about it is the trigger mech, you can fire both barrels with their respective triggers while holding the gun in the two-handed grip. The 2k handle on the front is surprisingly comfortable on the side like that. The flashlight looks cool, and may be helpful in urban night wars.

In any case here are some pictures:



and the top view (you can see the 2k handle)



This is the baddest-assest gun I've done in a long long time.

I would highly encourage all of you guys to check out this site. It's full of motivational videos of our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq figting the War on Terror. The clips are mostly sent in from the troops themselves, resulting in some totally kick-ass stuff that you can't really see anywhere else.

I love this shit, maybe because I'm gonna be doing it in 4 years, but either way this should give you all a better appreciation for all that our armed forces are doing for us every day.

Just thought I'd swing by and say hi...



yeah that's me, I just finished superior summer and I'm relaxing in a hotel on the water right now. I havent looked at a screen of any sort all summer so this is actually pretty cool.

I'm just letting y'all know I'm still here, and still alive. I'll be hanging around the forums somewhat but I may be in a more limited capacity than most people, as I'll be busy with real life.

But how has everything been going? Anything amazing to note?

Thanks to those of you who kept me in your prayers throughout the summer.

That's all for now!

Well, guys, as most of you may know I was accepted into the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD this past year. I'm leaving tomorrow morning for superior summer, which is pretty much boot camp. After that I have 4 years of college, and then I will be a commissioned officer in either the US Navy (ensign) or Marine Corps. (2nd Lieutenant), and I will be serving our fair country for a minimum of 5 years on active duty.

I will have no computer access for the entire summer starting tomorrow. Naturally, this means I won't be around the forums much. Once the school year starts, I will have plenty of computer and internet access, but I will still be strapped for time, so I cannot say how productive I may or may not be. I will probably still nerf with some friends on campus, and try to make it to some east coast wars (DCNO's).

So I guess this is a kind of goodbye thread, at least for the next 6 to 8 weeks. I really have enjoyed this community, and have made some good friends along the way. Even in the past few months when I really have been too busy to mod much or really be a heavy contributor, I really came here for the community aspect of the forums. So keep it up this summer, guys, and I expect to see some really cool mods from you guys when I return in the fall!

Please pray for me while I'm away at the Academy this summer. It's a grueling process and I'm gonna need whatever I can get. Thanks again for being a great community to me.

Go NAVY! Beat ARMY!

Here it is, folks... As you can see it uses 17/32 brass shells with a 9/16 lip that fall into the breech, then the 9/16 barrel slides over the edge of the shell, catches on the lip, and pushes the back of the shell against an o-ring to create a perfect seal. (the pink thing is a rubber band that pulls the barrel backwards) For now, that is all, but the paint picture shows what's coming up next. To advance to the next shell, you rotate the barrel upside down, and pull out to drop the shell out of the bottom, then you rotate it back up and pull on it to drop the next shell in.
