The Official Nerf Thread

[timmy]

Okay Starkers and I keep hijacking other threads.

Here is todays efforts of Taking It Too Far







Haven't figured out yet how best to mount my Vulcan but I am scheming a bracket so I can mount it on the bathroom windowsill and provide cover for the driveway.

Sam and I got Nerf guns for Xmas.

We each got a Maverick. We shoot them at the front door, aiming for the eyehole.

Sam could shoot the fleas off a dog's back at five hundred yards. I can hit the door when I try.

[starku]

the mav puts all other nerf guns to shame on a per dollar basis

that said toys r us is pretty optimistic

$90 for a nitron? lolololololol

[timmy]

Are they kidding

Got mine for $50 on the day they came out and wasn't that a waste of money

[Gands]

I'm looking for a gun that will allow me to re-enact scenes from Robocop.

Anyone?

Which scene?

If you're planning on being Robocop... You've already got a Maverick.

[starku]

burst fire mang

where is the burst fire

[Flagg]

I forget, is airsoft legal in AU as long as it's toyified? Because one of those would make an awesome Robocop gun.

[timmy]

Airsoft is legal... If you have a Class A firearms licence.

[starku]

god are you trying to ruin your own thread or what

now timbo

important time now

if i paint the middle part of my HIGH VELOCITY DISCUS will it fuck it up somehow

[Flagg]

Airsoft is legal... If you have a Class A firearms licence.

That sucks. Airsoft is pretty fun. Hurts like a bitch when you get hit, so that's a plus, too. What I find kind of funny is that if you were to pain the nerf gun in the first pic on the top of the rack black, it could pass for a rifle from not too far a distance, so I wonder how much longer that model will be legal.

[starku]

are you on some campaign to make posts as stupid as broomstick?

don't make me SCHATTEN you

also timbo do i need picks of sheerrrys guntron

[Gands]

burst fire mang

where is the burst fire

Even without burst fire, is there something that doesn't need a second hand to reload?

Also, is the plastic strong enough for me to twirl it on my finger?

[starku]

The battery ones make a gun like noise

Sherry reloads her praxis one handed like Sarah connor

[timmy]

Haha I did that once with a Recon and embedded the underbarrel taclight in the ceiling.

As for painting the plastic bit of the discs, one or two layers couldn't hurt much.

[Stofsk]

i am delighted to see that timmy is well-prepared for the nerfpocalypse

[starku]

lets hope his plan is to arm his neighbourhood

otherwise he could be regarded as excessively completionist :V

hey tim i don't even see your nitron there

did you give it away?

sherry wants the stupid scope lol

[timmy]

Haven't mounted the green ones but I do have the whole range

Nitron is heavy, bulky, and the gimmicky scope is also heavy and thus wobbles on its mounts. Probably could do with a firmer coupling. As for usability, in bright ambient light it's hard to see the reticles, and in low light you won't see anything else.

[starku]

Wait you seriously own the massively redundant bunch

You DO have a problem! Shoulda just bought 4 praxis lol

[timmy]

I know I know but it's cheaper than crack still

[starku]

I know I know but it's cheaper than crack still

but i wouldn't buy a nite finder at any price :V

[timmy]

The children like them

[starku]

How do you feel about owning a deploy

[Count Chocula]

My SIL and her hubby, who live in NYC, bought my 7-year old a Longstrike for Christmas. I think I love them both.

Next year he's graduating to a Red Ryder BB gun. I'm disappointed with the Longstrike's pneumatics.
