The lord of fish

BUMP

HI TED!

+1 on the caution for THF, I use it daily at work and without PPE and handling the fumes alone will fuck you up hardcore.

I may be looking at it wrong, but does it use the opposite barrel as the indexing/locking point? If so that's pretty rad since I've always hated the gear/clutch that regular turrets use(especially the maverick). The painted rearloading slot is slick, really blends in well. 
 

IIRC, people have used pool noodle and pipe insulation with craft foam fins in the past. I think Draconis (or maybe someone else?) made some pretty sweet titan rocket alternatives as well.

If you are on private property that isn't yours and you don't have explicit permission to be on it, don't expect anything good to happen.

If there's a park office, ask if having a nerf war is ok. It really helps if you show to officials that its pretty harmless, family friendly game. If they say no, then find another place. If you aren't able to find some sort of park official, look up their regulations. 

Leave your realistic looking blasters at home, they might look cool, but its really not worth the potential for being mistaken as a real firearm.  If a police officer comes, put your blaster on the ground, and keep your hands away from your pockets. They don't know you're having a harmless game with toys, and probably received a call saying there are people running around with guns. Just be courteous and respectful, and explain the game.   If they tell you to leave, ask them where a more appropriate place would be. 
 

 I emailed imageshack about all of my old pictures from write ups way back from 2008-2011 and they told me they were gone forever, is it possible that those images might still be cached somewhere?
I'd love to help if that's even slightly possible.
