Here's a idea for using a G.I. Joe Sigma 6 (action figure) equipment box as an alternate carrying case for Nerf Vulcan EBF-25 ammo belts. You could carry them in a pouch or maybe rig up a vest to carry four of them for a 100 dart reload. Just a thought. At least it helps keep us from tripping these loose ammo belts around the house.

[I first posted a comment on the Lancer thread and the responding replies started to veer off topic, so I'm starting to new thread to continue the discussion without hijacking Forsaken_Angel's excellent Lancer Mod post. You can check the beginning posts here: Lancer Thread posts

Hi guys,

Here's the official Gears of War Lancer offered with the upcoming Gear of War 2 game bungle, for $140.

Gear of War 2 Bungle with Lancer

(I searched the Mod forum and didn't see this post before. If it was, sorry)

The Lancer doesn't fire, it only has sound fx and lights, I think. I have to say, what a wasted opportunity! When will some toy company (Hasbro), airsoft, or even a paintball marker company, like Brass Eagle, wake up and make licensed nerf (foam dart) weapons based on our favorite games. I've mentioned this in a couple of posts on my blog. You see my fake ad for a Killzone Long Shot:

You guys have done some great mods, and far better paint jobs than my photoshop comp and i salute your creativity and talent. It's crossed my mind to form my own company and make original dart tag gear for older Nerf warriors. Maybe, someday I will. I'm working on my first mod and I'll post a pic soon.

So. what do you of the official Lancer? (Maybe this should be a new thread?)

To continue, basically, a what are you thoughts on Nerf for the adult (16 yrs old+) market, and any tie-in to the video game world of FPS (First Person Shooter), like Gears of War, Halo, KIllzone, etc. ? And, how can dart tag grow and improve in the future?
