[Phantasee]

there hasn't been laser tag at WEM in years, that's why I asked how old he was

[weemadando]

It woulda been New Years of 93/94 when I was there.

[Phantasee]

Yeah it was there until maybe 98, 99 or so.

[zhaktronz]

Hey tim I remember you talking about wanting some scopes, if your desperate http://www.toysrus.com.au/nerf/nerf-ele ... 4_1181114/

[timmy]

Hmm. The price on that ain't bad for the package; I paid $25 shipped to get just the scope. Tempted to get another one.

What I'm really chasing is this, and even though that's the highest ask I've seen for one, it's not far off average. They can't be that fucking rare.

'75 feet' lol

the accc will nail those fools to a wall

Your horoscope, it came true

"We know that a few eagle-eyed members of Nerf Nation have spotted two different versions of the N-Strike Elite Retaliator blaster video we posted online earlier this week, and wanted to clear up any confusion. We pride ourselves on offering high-performance blasters that adhere to our own strict safety standards, as well as standards set by each country where Nerf blasters are available. It is for this reason that, while most of our fans internationally will be seeing up to 75 foot distances using the N-Strike Elite blasters, members of Nerf Nation located in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, China and the Philippines will see a distance of up to 15 meters. N-Strike Elite blasters around the world will all feature Elite blaster styling, design and darts. We can’t wait to share more information with you, Nation, and may have some more details up our sleeves for next week. Stay tuned."

Bummer

Watch the profiteering on import versions

[Phantasee]

Holla at me if you want to get a Canadian version.

[starku]

I bet your way more convenient than an online store with free shipping

[timmy]

If the price is right, Dan...

[Phantasee]

Obviously if there's a better alternative, use that. Just in case that doesn't work for whatever reason, let me know.

[timmy]

Will keep that in mind!

Longshot tart-up project nearly finished. Reassembled and the fucking bolt sled is stuck; charging handle won't budge. Hence, underbarrel gun in below photo is not actually attached to main body, but you get the idea.

[timmy]

Hhhi... Jjjoker

[Oxymoron]

Why is it that the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this picture was the Bathroom Scene in Full Metal Jacket ?

[Gands]

I'm pretty sure that was intentional.

[Oxymoron]

Whoopsy. The quote should have been an hint but it has been so long since I watched that movie...


Anyway, cool photo, and, yeah, really evocative.

[Count Chocula]

Dudes, he's just loading a mag. The "real guy" had the M-14 in his hands.

BTW, Nerf also makes waterguns, I bought one for my son. Do they sell them in The Land Down Under?

Looks really good, much better than my son's Longstrike. Don't take it out in public and get pit bull shot by the RCMP, OK? That would suck.

Yes yes I know RCMP is on a different continent but you speak the same language and have similar laws so what the hell.

[Flagg]

Jimbo: Let's kill us some goddamned Australians!
Ned: Mmmm, Canadians.
Jimbo: Same thing!

[Aaron]

It seems my poor Aussie brothers are firmly to the right of us politically.

Is that why their guvmint took thar gunz away!?

[timmy]

The right wing govt took the guns away

But want to stop border jumpers

I KNOW, RIGHT???

[timmy]

Shit I looked up a screencap and had the piece on the wrong side



Might have to do a director's cut redux

[Darth Fanboy]

Sad thing is I saw the picture before I saw the caption and wondered why you would take a picture of yourself taking a dump. Then I remembered that would actually raise the intellectual standard of this board. Then I saw the nerf gun and was like "whoops". Then I looked up the youtube clip of this and spent so long watching FMJ clips I should have just put in the fuckin' movie.
