While the old format and color scheme WOULD bring back memories, I'm not sure that nostalgia is Andy's intent by making the NCforums archives available. He was probably just thinking things like mods, advice, etc, would be useful when you're doing research for a new mod or something similar. To tell you the truth, I miss the old NO layout...

The hailstorm is exactly the same as the lighning blitz. For some reason, Hasbro decided to give it a different name in Europe though, hence the hailstorm. There are no differences in the actual gun. There used to be a nerfer in England called Dr. Genius or something, back in the NerfOnline days who mentioned this I believe.

Is there anyother way of hollowing out a stefen?

Yes, actually on Stefan's original site, he made a plywood thing with pvc glued on it to hold the dart blanks, and then he drilled holes in the backs with his drill press.

It depends on where the leak is. It could be leaking in one of three places. First of all, it could be leaking where the rubber bladder attaches to the rest of the internals of the gun. Second, it could be leaking where the bladder has that little cap thing with the pressure release valve on it. Or three, it could actually have a tear in the rubber bladder itself. When you figure out where it's leaking, that'll determine what you should do.

Oh, and as far as the best machinegun goes, I would say it depends on what you use it for. If you're strictly doing stuff like raiding where you're shooting at lots of people at close range, go with the RF20. If you're doing more varied work, I'd say a PC with an extra clip and maybe a bladder restriction mod (makes it shoot harder and less pumps to prime, but it runs out of air faster). Because if you're running around and such, you may have time to slap a clip in and run while you pump, whereas if you're just raiding, you need as many shots as you can get before reloading and re pumping.

They'd never make the powerclip have removable clips. Do you know why? Because then they'd have to manufacture and sell extra clips. And that would mean packaging. Whereas, if they don't make the clips removable, people like us have to buy another guy to get another clip. Having someone buy 3 $20 guns is more profitable than having them buy 1 $20 gun and 2 $5 clips.

The only guns with seperate clips, if I'm not mistaken, were the Sawtooth and the Electric Eel. They each came with two clips. If they made the clip on the powerclip removable, they'd be obligated to put another clip in with it, which would increase unit cost which would decrease sales.

But I don't know, nerf has changed a lot since the Max Force line, so we'll just have to see. Usually a re-release just means it's the same gun in different packaging with pictures of different guns on the back.
