Do you have the organizer's email? I would love to talk to him about some collaborative planning.

Naw I don't. I've only contacted Jerry via the Facebook page.

I might come but, "No stefans"? Not sure if I can do that. Is this flexible at all? What if they have foam covering the tips?

EDIT: With all respect, after reading your facebook page, I am doubting your organizing abilities. I would very much like to have an east MI war BUT...

-playing after dark will suck, even if you want it to be more zombieish it will lead to TONS of lost darts and even injures if people cant see where they are going.
-attendance by people from the NIC will be very low without the use of stefans, there is no good reason to ban their use. As long as they are made properly and people are wearing safety glasses (as they should even with stock darts) no one will get hurt.
-lastly, you should post a definite date and time.

Perhaps we should work together to organize an Effeminate MI war since you obviously have quite a following (members on your facebook page) and I, by the looks of it, have a little more Nerf experience.

As I said before, none of this is against you, I would just love to see a good MI war and would love for you to make that happen.

I'm not organizing it, just posting it as a favor to the organizer Jerry Berg. I'm bummed about no stefans too. Talk to the organizer on Facebook about any questions.

Sorry about any confusion.

I usually test my guns out in my car or in the parking lot after I buy them, so I can return them immediately if they don't work.

Good idea. I'll try next time.

I'm not familiar with the internals of a dtb, but what I usually do to find out where the problem is/isn't, I take out the turret, and feel how much air is coming out if I dry fire the gun. If a good amount of air is coming directly from the plunger, then it's probably something with the turret, or how tight the seal is with the turret.

I'm going to test all the seals, but it may have to wait til tomorrow.

Thanks for all the help so far.

That's really odd.

I did the same thing and when I had only the DTB spring in my gun worked great.

How did yours shoot stock? 15ft? You added the NF spring and it didn't help, then put the original spring back and it shot normal (~35ft)?

I put it all back together, and fired off 20 shots, with an average of 15ft. My unmodded Eliminator averages 20ft. Effeminate FAIL. Still don't know why its sucking.

To wisp:
I really don't want to return the set. What are the chances of getting more crappy guns in THAT set? I get defective guns 25% of the time. Thats why I stopped NERFing before. AT2Ks that don't work. Mavericks that don't work. AT3Ks that don't work... RF20s that don't work. It just pisses me off... I'd rather steal my brothers and cannibalize mine for parts...
