NERF General

So I bought the legendary Sentinel everyone on the internet keeps shilling and it broke in an hour

Planning a get together with some friends and we're gonna have a Nerf war. I have more than enough guns to arm all five of them with three automatics, five semi-autos, five Mavericks, and five springers. My only problem is ammo. I'm looking into offbrand darts but I heard they have quality issues. What's /toy/'s recommendation?

>>6013833
Koosh Gen 3. Also, you have 80+ blasters?

>>6013833
I just buy whatever on ebay for $4/100. Cheap enough that I don't care if I lose them because I'm autistic about things like that.

>>6013833
Make steffans.

>>6013833

There's some darts on Amazon that are like $7 for 200. I think the seller is "great deal store." I've had no issues.

also throw those mavericks away

>>6013285
I just bought an XD Strongarm, and I have to say as someone who hasn't bought a new blaster since the Sonic series that these elite darts are fucking awesome.

>>6014277
Standard Elites are actually pretty trash, it's only that streamlines aren't hard to top. Suction Elites are pretty good. Almost every other 3rd party head are better than Standard elites. Hopefully the Accustrike darts hitting next year make official darts great again.

>>6014364
Well if these are terrible, I REALLY want to see what's "good".

>>6014489

Look into "koosh" darts. Community nicknamed due to their tips' similar appearance to that of a koosh ball. They're the gold standard for Nerf darts that aren't Nerf brand. Elites may seem nice now, but wait til they start veering off target like mad because of a slight deformity or weight imbalance.

There are lots of darts to look into out there. Hit up Amazon and pay attention to customer reviews. I will warn you though to stay away from darts that people say have "solid tips." These are heavy and likely won't shoot too far in a gun without modification. They'll look kinda like elites, just with no air holes in the tips.

>>6014489
The alternative darts will have about the same range. It's the accuracy yo look at. Nerf dart accuracy love a forward weight balance. This is plus the weight is why streamlines were such trash. The stem was too long putting the center of gravity further back from the head. They've fixed this with elites and 3rd party darts. Symmetrical heads are also very important, but the air release hole included in standard elites for safety ruin this leading to the bad accuracy. Elite suctions have a symmetrical head, forward weight balance, and fit nicely into your clips, but they're expensive.
Look for Koosh darts, the nerf internet community called it so so much that the ebay seller "Beautiful lady" now sells gen 3 under that name (they've done so since before the 2nd generation but that's a moot point). They come cheap and the soft rubber hair like projections give symmetry and safety.
Also look at FVJ/FVN darts. They look like Normal elites, but they have a solid head with no need for a hole. They will sting you, your dog, and your kids so consider that. Usually cheaper than koosh.
I personally bought knockoff elite suctions from Amazon and have been pretty happy with them.

Not 80 but I do have a very large collection. 25+ is more like it
>>6014177
How is their quality? Do they fall apart easily? That's my main concern

>>6016131
All foam darts wear out within 7 to 10 uses, especially with outdoors wars. You can pay $20 for 75 darts that should last that cycle or you can pay $4 for 100 darts. The quality ranges all over the place, but 5 or 6 bad darts out of 100 is still a good deal.

>>6015884

Does orange mod works have a tri strike kit? Or wold Retaliator/Elite Alpha trooper stuff work with it?

>>6015830

Yes, very unfortunately

Yeah it gets 80 fps stock but the thing is the least ergonomic thing I've ever operated and needs foam/tape/padding on the lever or it literally hurts to prime

>>6016142
I dont think so but then again I havent popped that open yet.

Ok, Hasbro needs to speak up about this thing that I've been waiting for all year. I haven't heard anything on a release date, a 2017 push back, or even a cancellation. What the hell, Nerf?!

>>6016437
Send them an angry letter, and an even angrier email.

>>6014612
>Also look at FVJ/FVN darts. They look like Normal elites, but they have a solid head with no need for a hole.

I've bought about 500 of these things, and since when we play Nerf our pain tolerance is super high, I get a lot of use out of them. Love them

>>6016131
>>6016141
Yeah, my take on it is for $4 for 100, you can afford the bad dart every now and then, but none of them seem bad to me. Besides, it's only 2 parts: foam body and head. You can easily just hot glue them back into place if that's your concern. Honestly tho, I damage most of my darts due to jams.

>>6018741
Say you're an SJW and by not releasing it, they are literally raping your feelings. Then call Hasbro out for having CIS CEO and set up a #hashtag.

And then when it comes out, condemn them for yet another girlie bow and not something that looks like an angry vagina.

What's the most fun I can have with $100 in NERF guns, mods included?

>>6020071
Buy 9 Hammershots and run around quoting Revolver Ocelot.

>>6020731
>>6023095
Alternatively, buy 8 and use the last 12 bucks for a hot glue gun or a small pipe and a pipe cutter to make spacers. They increase compression on the spring for a cheap upgrade. Half an inch is a pretty good boost, but it's pretty hard to prime. 3/8 is a good compromise.

Truthfully, tho, there are better forums out there for in-depth Nerf discussions. I just don't feel like creating accounts everywhere.

Hi. I'm hopefully going to cosplay as a VK shocktrooper next year.

I'd like to make a machine gun that still functions though. What Nerf gun is going to most closely resemble this part of the machine guns? if it's close but needs a bit of work to look closer I don't mind, just looking for the basic shape.

>>6027587
Oh yeah, preferably battery powered. Would the Stryfe work do you think?

>>6027587
>>6027589
Yeah, Strife with a modified Lightning Storm or 3rd party Worker stock would be pretty close to that already.

I'd say a Stryfe, red-dot sight, Worker fixed stock. Maybe a Stryfe front rail adapter to put the red-dot sight at the front, but the rail might not be long enough.

>>6027589
>>6027587

Awesome, thanks. I mispeled as well, I meant a Valkyria Chronicles machine gun but still gets my point across.

The front of the gun though doesn't match anything so I'll need to do that from scratch. Many thanks though.

Took me a while, but I got it just for you.

So I've been loking into a Stryfe but they're pretty expensive. But chinese knockoffs apparently exist of it.

Should i bite the foam bullet and get a proper nerf one and hope my painting, sanding and cutting goes well or get a cheap version where ruining it won't matter too much pricewise.

Owning that stock myself...you certainly got the better end of that deal. The Longarm has no practical use at all and there's tons of blasters that not only work better, but look better while fulfilling the same function.

I mean, why would you even buy a Longarm in the first place?

Was down in the US for an hvz game last weekend and finally picked up that tri-strike I wanted! It was fucking $80 Canadian so I'm very pleased

>>6030112
I'm not quite a fan of the main blaster, as the handle and bolts are a bit small for my hands, but I put the rocket launcher on my demolisher and the mega shotgun masterkey on my rayven

You can get that stock for about $10-20. If you paid full price for the Longarm, he got the better deal. If you just wanted to get rid of the Longarm, fair trade.

Oh goddamnit there's a 30% price drop on Hammershots right now, they're about $9.

>tfw no money to dick around with until next friday

So /toy/, If I wanted to get back into Nerf, what is the hot shit to get? Left the hobby around when the Elite series was first released.

Thinking of grabbing a Zombie Longshot and mod kit for it as my old one is fucked, but that blaster is ancient. Surely there is something new that can top it.

>>6032149
Mod a Retaliator if you want a springer. Otherwise, Stryfe, Stryfe reshells, Rapidstrikes and Hyperfires. I almost picked up another brand new Rapidstrike for $25, but I held off on that impulse.

>>6032149
Nothing really matches a longshot with a fat spring and sealed breech as far as how well documented it is. 220 fps with full length darts is possible due to it's giant air chamber. I think the Stampede reaches that, but only with xplorer half length darts in their own custom sealed breech. I've seen this one guy put three pairs of flywheels in a Rayven and he's measured something like 250, but getting that many flywheels to work in serial is apparently a bother.
Brassed Elite springers with a 7 kg spring can get 150, same with a flywheel blaster with a rewire and new motors and wheels but the latter has the option of insane rof (13 if you're pushing a rapidstrike real hard otherwise however fast you pull the trigger) with reduced subsequent shot strength.

>>6032314

Good advice, but anon is just getting back into the hobby. Not sure if brass breeches and full rewires are gonna be up his alley.

A website called Orange Mod Works sells modification kits if you want to hook yourself up with something for a Longshot. Mod kits are pretty easy to come by, but OMW is usually what people use/recommend. I will say though, if you want a nice, practical, comfortable springer with some considerable power, this is what you do.

>Buy Retaliator
>Buy a 5KG spring (you can get these easily and it'll be under $10)
>Buy a pump grip kit of some sort. These can range from $30 to $60, but are absolutely and completely worth it

I have no experience with flywheels because my group is a bit casual and I don't need more than a good springer, but that is your ticket for a good, reliable springer. You'll spend around $100 after the blaster and everything, but it'll be worth it. In the vein of sidearms or secondary weapons, Rough Cuts are shotguns and are really fun, and Sidestrikes are little front loading pistols that come with their own holsters for 15 bucks. Hammershots are revolvers with hammer action so you can prime them one handed. And there's this badass new thing called a Magnum Superdrum made by a company called Dart Zone. It's more powerful than stock Nerf brand blasters, and comes with a 40 dart drum that can be front loaded, so no clips/mags required. It's super fun and it's $20. Target exclusive though.

That's about all my entry level recommendations. Good luck anon.

>>6032399

OK. I'll look into the Retaliator, is the Recon MkII as good? The internals look the same, but I'm reading about some issues on the magazines (my preferred straight-18's no less), but that's been apparently fixed?

As for flywheels, I'm really torn. I remember thinking the barricade was a gimmick, as who'd want a blaster that sounded like a choir of autists humming. But then I volt modded a Rayven and since have been unable to decide if to stick to springs, or just give in to flywheels. Still seems kind of weird looking at the number of flywheel blasters out there now.

>>6032314

I was thinking a little bit simpler with the longshot modding. Was going to just get the Stage 1 OMW kit and do a basic AR/Deadspace/Safety removal. Then again I haven't properly looked at my longshot since it failed, might be salvageable for an attempt at a brass breach and if it fucks up (likely with my track record) I can always go back to plan A. Never attempted it in the first place due to LS's being a bit scarce back then, not an issue given that it is broke anyway.

>>6029804
what's the yellow part under the barrel?

>>6032912

I've actually heard that Retaliator modification kits will fit Recon MKIIs, but you'd have to use a Retaliator barrel if you're dead set on a pump kit (which I heavily, heavily recommend). So you could have a color-scheme confused blaster, but that may not bother you. And there's always painting.

As for the issue with 18 round mags, yeah, the first batch of Recon MkIIs were incompatible with 18s, but the later batches fixed that. As for how you're supposed to guarantee yourself you get a fixed one, I dunno. Don't own one to know. I did read somewhere that Hasbro would send you a replacement if you got a first batcher, but that may not be true.

I literally have no experience with flywheels though. Yeah they're awesome, but like I said, my group is pretty casual, so a springer with a kick is all I've really needed. But if the people you'll run with are more hardcore with Nerf, a good flywheel is never a bad idea. The Stryfe seems like it's easiest to work with, as many, many people use them, but the Modulus, Demolisher, and Desolator are all pretty much Stryfes in different shells. The Stryfe is just preferred due to its compact size. Rayvens are popular too, but it's my understanding that they're expensive.

The switch is up to you, my man. Whatever you think suits your playstyle and your environment more. I've also never liked the concept of relying on batteries, even though my brother has a LiPo'd Stryfe that seems to last for days. It's just a matter of preference, really.

>>6032946
It's the "Light Beam Unit" that came with the original Recon sets. It's basically a crappy red flashlight.

>>6033008
>So you could have a color-scheme confused blaster, but that may not bother you. And there's always painting.
I believe the White retaliator barrel looks decent on the Recon MK, But if you go looking for the white retaliator barrel, you could just buy the white entire retailiator set for cheaper then the Recon mkII in stores.

I dunno, but I already told my brother I'd get the Terrascout for him. He's nine years-old and has had a shit year. His mom died from cancer and their house just got broken into not too long ago. Shitheads even stole the money from his piggybank, so fuck it, I can spend a little extra.

>>6036049

>>6035660

You're a good anon. Meanwhile, I'm keeping all my Slingfires and Hammershots and Vulcans and their Mastodon hidden so that when the keiki are giggling over their Stryfes and Retaliators (neverminding the fact that they outperform most of mine) I'll storm out and show them their place in the world.

I just walked out of my local Toys R Us with the last $20 Hailfire, found it hidden behind the Thunderbows. Super excite to improve literally every aspect of this thing.

Would a Hailfire make a good stationary turret for a nerf war or nah, too small/difficult to mount? Does anybody else around here play Nerf wars with stationary turrets?

I'm that anon that was asking what new stuff was any good. I know that you were all recommending Retaliators, but Amazon UK had pic at 53% off, and I picked it up. I loved the Rayven for being a bullpup, and apparently you can lop off the bow arms to make it less spergy.

Have I fucked up?

>>6037650
If you got it for $10, okay. If you paid more, I think you wasted your money. Seems there are ergonomic and functional issues with it that make is subpar to similarly priced blasters.

Picked up a vagabond... and it seems VERY under-powered. any suggestions on mods?

>>6037650
I have one in my arsenal, and I like it a lot. Ergonomically there are problems but I found that it gets decent stock performance compared to a lot of others that I own.

>>6038025
Vagabond uses strongarm internals, I'm pretty sure, so any Strongarm upgraded spring will fit the Vagabond.

>>6029903
People overhype the shit out of the Longarm for some reason. It's just a glorified Strongarm that carries less ammo and is harder to use. I don't see why it's so popular

>>6034634
The proper name is Centerfire Tech Scope

>>6038026

Are the ergo's that bad? If I can run around for hours using a Deploy, will I mind this?

I grabbed the Recon MkII as well. It should be here tomorrow, I'll slap some accessories on it and snap some photo's.

If you mean the Vortex line, those are pretty good blasters. The only issue you have is dealing with uncommon ammo.

Any mod worth a damn is going to require replacing the springs anyway.

>>6037650
I'd like the design of this without the bow parts

>>6041681

Plan on removing them if they get in the way. A few vids on youtube show it being done. Might also look into replacement cord. I wonder what slingshot tubing would do for it? Possibly just break the catch, but there is only one way to find out.

>>6038847
It's pretty awkward. It doesn't really go away. I still like it, it's just super uncomfortable, but my hands are enormous.

>>6040849
>>6041349
The main spring in the air chamber is easily replaceable, you just need to reinforce the bolt carrier if you out in a fat spring load. The other three springs necessary for operation of the blaster is the catch plate at the back, the trigger (arguable), and the dart tooth in front of thr magwell. These all should be replaceable with springs from a pen. In fact, that's one if the recommendations for the catch plate when you out in larger main springs anyway.
If you ever find your Longshot, a mod guide should help you out there.

>>6037650
Do the bowstrings NEED to be on it to fire? I'm thinking about buying a Crossbolt just to chop the front off and turn it into a rifle

>>6044221
It's elastic band powered, so yeah.

Thoughts on the Doublestrike?

>>6045244
Maximum fun. It's fun as hell to fire a shot, keep the trigger held, and hit the hammer again. Two shots in a fraction of a second. Hammershot can't pull it off as fast

>>6045244
>>6046132
Priming it is kinda awkward, cause you can pull the hammer past the catch point. This opens up the plunger a little more and when you release it, a tiny puff of air unseats the dart. WalcomS7 mentioned it in his review, and I confirmed it with a thrifted one, but maybe they updated it. You could also probably glue a piece of plastic to prevent you from pulling the hammer too far back.

>>6037650
You can remove the bow arms, you just have to shorten the elastic so you get the same tension.

>>6034242
Any updates, senpai?

a 2 shot breach loader...and you're not done yet?

>>6049447
i only buy stuff I think looks cool, I don't really care about performance.

>>6049467
fair enough

>>6049445
So how does that thing load and how many darts can it hold?

>>6049908
side loader

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiTC5Nm7C3c

>>6049908
Doublebreach, so obviously three.
But for realsies, breach load up to two darts into a panel that opens up on the side when you pull back the pump. Slide forward and fire a dart. Each prime readies only one for firing. It's kinda trash.

>>6049908
There's an unpainted panel on the other side of the gun that slides open and allows you to awkwardly load in two shots. It then fires each shot one at a time before you have to reload it.

It's a great concept and it looks great....it's just fairly unimpressive when it comes to actual functionality. It should've had an internal mag or fire dual shots...or both. Overall, it's just another Centurion, cool looking blaster, but ultimately an overpriced waste of a blaster.

You know, if they had just made an 8-round (or even 4-round) MEGA Roughcut, I'd be all over it. If you're required to use 2 hands for only shots, you might as well weld two BigShocks, or two HotShocks, or one BigShock and one HotShock. BONUS: you can fire 2 shots at the same time, unlike the DoubleBreach.

Anyone else find it funny that this new Mega blaster means that the Cylconeshock officially invalidates half of the Mega line up?
>Same capacity as the Centurion, Buzzbee mags withstanding, while being smaller
>More capacity than the similarly sized Magnus
>Not the Doublebreach
The Hotshock is a big jolt, the Rotofury a big Doominator or open turret Rampage, and the Mastodon all have their own niches and don't cross the Cycloneshock but otherwise that's 3 out of 6 contemporaries made redundant.

Anyone get these Buzzbee swords? I regretted not getting them last year before they stopped stocking them because I think they're great foam weapons. They're cheap, safe and decent looking.

But not only are they back, but they now have a light-up gimmick. I got the Greek sword for when I want to pretend I'm in Troy and Trojans used automatic weapons too.

I also got 2 katanas because you'll never know when you'll need to weld dual katanas.

>>6052277
I've got a good two dozen of these damn things from last year. I use them to bludgeon my nephews into submission when they decide to start throwing punches and shit.

Right, lets see what all the fuss was about then.

>>6052782
The rifle just looks nice so it'll be something I'd want to grab. But the pistol was a wasted opportunity as it should've had an internal mag to make the breech loading actually useful. I mean, hell, it already has ammo storage under the breech anyway. how hard would it have been to close it up and add a spring inside. It would've made it far more unique and possibly useful instead of being an oversized Sharpfire.

>>6052883
The rifle is getting standard elite performance by my eye. It is light and comfortable (in my opinion) and looks great. The "bolt" has a return spring which i think is an nice feature. The new darts do seem to be more accurate but don't expect a laser.

I imagine someone will figure out how to attach a front pump mod to the Accustrike.

>>6053155
does it get the performance of a modified blaster with a new spring and replaced internals? um...no, dude, no it doesn't

>>6053192
It's not really the internals. He's only shooting maybe 15ft max. It's mostly the new Worker short darts, just like the Accustrike is just another Specter; it's the new Nerf darts that's the performance factor.

How come the Maverick seems more popular when it's obvious that the strongarm is superior?

There will be black on it.

>>6058314

Oatey's Fix It Stick for normal gap filling and Reactorseal 200 for structural gap filling.

>>6058577
Walcom was making his own double Hyperfire. His build photos in Facebook are only available to friends, Drac being one of them. Drac then reveals his latest build, a double Hyperfire. Drac has vaguely hinted at a big build once at a date before Walcom's first photo upload, but there was no other details until the reveal.
Could mean something, or nothing at all.
>>6058661
Whoa that's cheaper than epoxy putty, thanks senpai. Also looking closer at the photo, what happened to the Stampede that donated that rail : (?

It got a sweet flat top rail and looked ballin'.

>>6058208
I got a Stryfe for about $12 because of all the xmas sales. If you don't want flywheels, Retaliator is good. People complain about the top prime, but I have no problems with rapid fire.

>>6059348

Flywheels are fun when you realize how easy they are to mod. Springers have all kinds of problems, but flywheels are super simple.

Thought Springers are way more interesting.

>>6059569
Springers are so much more frustrating to mod IMO.

Flywheelers are so tolerant of error, it's awesome.
I've been using them to learn about arduinos and mosfets.

I don't really think I ever want to mod another springer at this point, it's just so easy for something to snap/fail to catch/etc.

>>6037650
I always kinda wanted to get one of these, just to see if it was possible to mod it into being pump action. A pump action, bullpup springer would just be sweet imo, and look amazing.

Sadly I never seen em at a cheap enough price for me to actually buy one.

>>6059587

Springers are capable of a lot more power and are genuinely more interesting to work on, it's just a paint trying to reinforce internals and get catch springs that work. Usually you have to put the entire blaster back together screws and all just to test it, while you can test flywheels on a bench by just running power.

I want some of those Nerf Rivals but can't bring myself to spend the money. Has anyone here gotten any of them? Are they worth it at all?

I really want the Atlas for some reason, but not enough to go buy it. Rival looks cool, but I have way too much time and money in dart based stuff.

I suspect for most people it's because the disc shape means the gun barrels and magazines can't be made to look all tacticool srsbiznis.

Personally, I just think those fucking little things are a nightmare to recover outside, yet aren't priced cheap enough to not care about losing huge amounts of ammo every game. Same reason I don't touch the rival stuff either.

The only vortex primary I'd consider is the revonix, the rest either suck, are ugly or both. And the only two side arm's I'd use are the vigilon and maybe the fusefire if the jamming issues turned out to be bullshit. Granted, if you could mod a diatron to single fire, I'd probably use it in a heartbeat, because mother fucking sexy looking ten shot sidearm.

>why do all you dart fags use darts
Darts are so much cheaper to buy than discs. If I lose a dart, I don't give a shit. If I lose a disc, OMFG. I've tried making homemade discs, didn't work out well enough. I just wound up buying them in quantities when they go on clearance.

They aren't that accurate. Accurate to about 20-30ft, but then so are every other Nerf blaster. Their range is also superseded by modern dart blasters. But they are fun.

>>6068037
Pyragon is my favorite. The only thing I dislike is the more-functional-but-uglier front pump.

Fusefire is also great. It's like the the disc equivalent of muzzle loaders. No mags, just jam in the discs in the back during downtime.

I really don't like the Diatron. The priming handle doesn't feel solid at all. Trying to prime the last 10% of the pull always feels like you're gonna snap something. Kudos for the stock attachment on a pistol, tho.

>>6061457
Tried all but the Atlas.

>Apollo
Really good blaster overall, can chamber 2+ rounds without modification or breaking if you know the trick, modification kit exists for pump action a la EAT. It's kind of awkward though. I don't like the way it sits on my arm when I'm using it. Also the priming handle takes some force to get back.

7/10 very worth.

>Zeus
Really good feel to it. Feels very natural if a bit heavier. Size is decent. Modification to a HIRicane is easy and only requires a little bit of electronic work. Can also be modified to accept megas and elites, but it's not exactly practical in mid-war because you have to tease them in slowly, and it sometimes rips the heads off the elites it shoots them so hard. It can only accept the 12-round magazines, though. Really good stuff, but the price tag for even a rival flywheel platform is a bit high. Recommend trying before you buy if you know anyone who has one, or thrifting.

8/10 very worth if you're into flywheel.

>Khaos
This is a seriously big blaster. When I first tried the Zeus it was unlike anything I had used due to size and weight (it is smaller than some dart blasters but they aren't as heavy), and the Khaos is about twice its size. The rate of fire is good, but not as good as a converted Zeus (nothing is). The magazine can store 40 rounds, with careful overloading it can safely hold and fire up to 72 rounds without damaging it, potentially even more. If you overload the magazine the rounds will fire faster until the magazine slot gets down to 10, then normal ROF resumes.

I absolutely love the Khaos. It's gorgeous, it's a monster, and it feels superb. I know the price tag is high, but it rocks.

I really want to participate in a nerf war, but I cant help but notice how cringe worthy a lot of these wars seem to be. Maybe it is just the youtubers that I follow, but all of the videos that I see of nerf wars are autists and neckbeards running around screaming and acting like a dumb ass

Also, everyone uses modified blasters. Im not a big fan of using modified stuff, but some people just have ridiculous loadouts. That captain Xavier guy springs to mind immediately.

>>6080699
We might tease you for being poor but sure.

>>6080783
Buzzbee is a respectable budget brand.

Buzzbee actually makes some very decent blasters now, comparable and sometimes better than Nerf.

One highly subjective con, tho, is that they still look horrible. I don't quite know what it is, but Nerf still makes the best looking blasters. Maybe it's the colors, maybe it's the physical designs, the extra pennies to apply paint apps, I dunno. Except for perhaps Boomco, most non-Nerf blasters look cheap.

>>6080794
Hahaha, poorfag
>>6080889
This, though about the paint, Hasbro has been cheaping out on that too. Worse is that it isn't any meaningful amount of money that we would see the savings directly. So these days Hasbro saves hundreds of thousands of cents while we get half painted blasters that still sell for a premium. We also get fugly ass shit like the Negotiator but that's a whole other issue.

Ridiculous looking, but par for the Doomlands course. I was semi-pumped because it was at least a 10-round revolver, but seeing it up close, it's only 8, +2 over your typical 6-round revolver. Not worth the price of faggotry.

This thing, tho, looks pretty cool. Flip down the stock and it's a decent 4-shot secondary blaster. Or flip up the stock and it's a barrel attachment with a 4-shot foregrip.

They're also coming out with a 4-shot blaster stock. Extendable, but it still has the same problem where you can't shoot it without removing it from the stock attachment point.

>>6082089
>>6082092
Unless they are getting the same (or better) ranged than current Elites (70fps), $5 a pop. Then you have to factor in shipping, which means either you offer free shipping and make $1, or the buyer pays shipping, and nobody is going to pay $10 for a Maverick when you can get a Strongarm for less than $10.

>>6082089
>>6082092
Seeing as you could thrift those for nothing, where even there it gets passed up cause you have newer variants sitting right next to them on the same shelf, it's literally three fiddy youre looking at max. The only things of value are the attachments, the barrel extension, and the fact that the Maverick is still a beaut.
Vulcan is a set piece, could probably get 20 to 40 for that. If it's not complete though (chain, box, and tripod) it usually can get passed up because of how much those pieces go individually

>>6082261
Still unsure about the stock, but I'm certainly grabbing this thing when it comes out. I just love the look of it as a stand-alone blaster, the fact that it's a functional 4 shot under-barrel blaster is just icing on the cake.

>>6082261
>>6082340
I just like the idea of under barrel blasters in general. I also like barrel extensions despite the slight drop in performance. I love the modulus grip blaster and this looks like an evolution of that (with a sweet alt mode)

>>6082253
This fucking thing. Senpaitachi, buy up your Hammershots and Sweet Revenges cause this is going to be their shitty replacement. Also I wish that those 3D printed cylinders weren't so expensive. Like 30 bucks (HS + Cylinder) is a million times better than paying 20 or whatever for a Negotiator, but the price starts adding up when your have seven of them, lol.

The Pyragon is easily the most comfortable nerf gun I've ever played with.

Would you recommend the folding grip? I have a Stryfe that I want to get a grip for but I'm not sure if I should get the folding grip or the drop grip.

>>6087602
i have a stryfe and use the folding grip. It has the advantage of making the blaster smaller for storage or carrying, its sturdy and comfortable and looks cool imo

>>6087602
>>6087918
The folding grip is my least favorite foregrip. It's not as comfortable and I don't 100% trust the locking mechanics since I've overpowered it once and had to fix it. That's being said, I did buy two because I have plans.

>>6015884
I love that green color.

>>6091221
What is that? I figured by slide it was a pump grip, which would need you to remove the currect top prime slide, but that looks like a sealed breech? I think you replace the front that mates with barrel extensions and the dart tube too with the included pieces.

>>6091221
>>6091795
That's an adapter to convert the Retaliator into firing their short darts. You don't need that to just add a foregrip pump. If you bought the adapter, you would also have to buy the short darts as well as short dart magazines.

Nerfgen, what's a good source for a high amperage microswitch? I want to push my Stampede to 20+ volts now that I've a spare part donor. My plan is to place it behind the plunger so that it is closed only when the plunger rod has returned to the catch. Also what can I do about the plunger rod slamming into it?

>>6091842
Thanks bro, really appreciate it. My chink is pretty shit

>>6091954
I would say non-chink sellers on ebay. Just look for the amperage you need, there should be plenty of options.

I work at ToysRUs, and I only own a Modulus.

Redpill me on them, so I can better understand how to explain them to parents.

Also what should I get if I'm bored in my room? The Modulus is fun, but the sound it makes is annoying.

>>6094258
Meh, I think they're overpriced for what it is: a Stryfe reshell with accessories. For around $30, you're paying fair price for what you get.

I can try to redpill you on a Stryfe. For $15, you can get the gold standard in battery-operated dart gun technology. From there, with some basic soldering skills, you can upgrade the performance for maximum pew pew.

If you're annoyed by the REEEEEEEEEEEEEE SFX, you can get a Roughcut, or any other shotgun that trades up fun factor for HIGH SPEED LOW DRAG.

>>6094303
While you're at it, can you redpill me on the Doomlands/Zombiestrike/Elite/Mega guns?

And we just got some stuff labeled Accustrike, what's up with that (other than it being accurate)?

>>6094323
>Modulus
The whole point in the Modulus line is that for the longest time, people have been clamoring for Nerf to sell their tacticool accessories separately, instead of having to buy an entire Longshot just to get the Longshot scope (ignoring ebay for the moment). Now you can customize your blaster any way you want for your 100% perfect look, and not have a closet full of Longshots.

>Doomlands
I'm not really sold on Doomlands. Performance-wise, most of their stuff is just on par with other Nerf blasters. It's main selling point is their aesthetics. If post apocalyptic westerns are your thing and you think Mad Max: Fury Road is the best film since Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. then Doomlands is for you.

>Zombiestrike
Just like Doomlands, but aimed at the ZOMBIEZZZ crowd, and better since the line actually has decent unique blasters, like their shotguns. Personally, I find their chainsaw-based guns and accessories hilarious.

>>6094451
>Elite
Basically, most of the modern Nerf blasters out now are "Elite". Elite blasters shoot around 70fps, which is the same as the Modulus, Doomlands, Zombiestrike, Rebelle, etc... Not every blaster shoots that fast, though. You can usually tell when they don't advertise the range on the package.

>MEGA
The selling point for the MEGA line is that BIGGER looks BETTER! Most MEGA blasters don't perform better at all. But you buy them because YOU'RE A BIG GUN. You look at a GMC Silverado and go "Yeah, that's a nice truck, but do you have anything bigge-- OH YES, A HUMMER. THAT'S THE TICKET!" If you want to know what it's like to weld a small child as a firearm, the Mastodon is for you. If you hate your life but aren't sure if you've hit rock bottom, get the Centurion. On the plus side, some MEGA blasters are moddable to fire standard darts for MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE. I actually like the MEGA line like the CycloneShock revolver because it goes with my HUMUGOUS DICK.

>Accustrike
Accustrike is Nerf's new dart that according to youtube tests, are probably the most accurate and consistent dart you can get. But it's all in the dart. The blaster has nothing to do with the performance. It's actually a mediocre blaster. So just like old times, if you want to super awesome dart accessory, you have to buy the crappy gun that;s packaged with it.

The Rotofury is also kinda neat because it's reminiscent of a Nerf grenade launcher. This is spillover text from the MEGA section because LOL MEGA IS HUEG!!!!11!

For $25, almost anything you CAN buy won't be battery-powered.

>>6094489
>I'll never let a parent walk out of the store with a MEGA again.

As someone who owns a few Mega blasters, don't do this. While the larger size of them is a gimmick, it's a REALLY fun gimmick. They're a bit too hefty for smaller kids, but the thump from blasting those massive darts is really satisfying. Some aren't worth using, as all sub-lines have their stinkers, but the line as a whole is totally worth it.

Don't let them buy Centurions, they're the worst big blaster out there. But Rotofurys, Cycloneshocks and Mastadons are all tons of fun.

Others to generally avoid are the Doomlands Doubledealer (unwieldy and jams frequently), the Sharpfire (weak, overpriced, and awkward to load), and the barrel break (it's fun...but bad in almost every way).

How does someone start a Nerfing community? I live in a state where they're is almost no online community and I'm desperate for some wars or at least a few fellas to talk about the foam flinging hobby

You'll know when you see him on the battlefield.
His catchphrase is: "It's time to hammer!"
He's also armed with 50 Hammershots.

Between Sledgefire, Rotofury, Cycloneshock, and Stryfe, which one am I gonna have the most fun with? I'm an indecisive fuck.

Also the Doominator is cool as fuck, hasn't jammed once

I like the Sledgefire because of the gimmicky nature, but it's kinda lacklustre.

Strife is good if you've got lots of attachmetnts to tacticool it up.

Rotofury is delicious but really could've done with a stock attachment point.

Alright guys.
Brain storm and help me figure out the best Gun and parts to use to make a Soldier 76 Gun from Overwatch.
I know there's an air pump rocket launcher I can slap onto a Tac Rail and i've been eyeing a Stryfe base body with Retaliator parts.

Most of those blasters and accessories should still be widely available. There's also the Retaliator and a few other N-Strike Elites that have accessories, but they're "pricier" since you have to buy a blaster.

Holy shit, the Doublebreach is huuge.
It's not as impractical as it seems, you can reload rather quickly. Still less useful than the revolving type Megas however

>>6108543

I really want the god damn double breach because its my ideal shotgun shape

but the fucking sideloading breach really turns me off

is it even remotely fun to use?

if its even a little fun to use I can use it as a super boss weapon when my lil ones decide to play nerf rpg games

It's not actually that bad, I'd say it's about as easy to reload as a Bigshock/frontloader, since you can use the thumb of your left hand to open the breech after priming.
It's not that shitty, it's along the line of a Sledgefire-esque fun-ish gimmicky system.

Also, what the fuck was Hasbro thinking releasing the Hotshock? It's the exact same blaster with a larger profile.

That actually really makes me happy knowing I can open the breech after priming so easily.

However it now comes down to whether or not I want one of these or a sledgefire.

>>6111044
Ooooh, you've got no idea how good it is. Ergonomics on the thing are absolutely perfect, if it fed from six round mags, it'd be my favorite blaster ever. As is, it's still my favorite for plinking at walls.

What is the absolute most one should pay for a Sledgefire? My local Target doesn't have one, and they go for 28 bucks minimum on Amazon it seems like. Gun is sexy but not that sexy.

>>6111656
That's about what they go for in stores. It's always been a somewhat mediocre blaster with a gimmick. It's all a matter of how sexy that gimmick is to you and what you'd pay for it. I wouldn't pay more than $15 for it, which means I'll probably never get one.

>>6111649
What's the draw length on it? It'd prolly be easier to stick a Stryfe in there, but still. Also, are you a big guy?

Are thrift stores (secondhand/donation) stores a thing over there? You could pick up a Buzzbee Tek 4/Tek 6/Tek 10 and harvest its spring. It's these revolver looking blasters that were supposed to compete with the Maverick. Despite having a direct plunger, the plunger tube was narrow and tiny, so they put a 6-7 kg spring in there to compensate; stock Nerf blasters come with a 2.5 kg spring. This shouldn't cost anymore than 3 burgers and you always see them at Thrift stores or garage sales stateside. Then pop out the back cap on your Retaliator and a few screws then thread out the original and swap in the new one.

>>6116454
Interesting, I know a few thriftstored around here but I genuinely dont know if buzzbee was ever sold in the Netherlands.
I'll look into it!

>>6116454
>>6116490
You're literally just looking for a stronger (or 2nd) spring, so a well-stocked hardware store is also an option.

There's a bunch of Rebelle Guardians for $16-$19 on ebay right now for some reason. Should I nab one?

>>6114479
I'm not sure if you can fit a pusher mech in there.

>I can finally hide snacks in my nerf guns

>>6120911
Wtf, what modulus blaster could possibly use that? Maybe for that jolt style foregrip or something, but nothing else that can use that stock is breechloaded, is it?

>>6121257
What are you talking about?

>>6120095
The plan is to have a thin piece of metal or plastic conected to the pusher going along the top of the blaster going down into the top of the mag, pulling the darts into the flywheels.

>>6121092
I used a spray paint that was also a primer.
>>6121058
Yes, this time I laid it on thick. This was partially on purpose, partially because it was my first attempt.

I wanted a rough look because this was for a post apocalyptic larp

>>6121257
Ionfire is top loading and it's still useful to have spare darts for mag-fed blasters

Also you don't have to keep darts in it, spare battery/Lipo is nice, plus it's just a sweet stock.

>>6121598
One of the strats is to use a Vinyl dye base coat. Usually white or black if the under layers might show through.

>>6121414
Kinda what I meant, best of luck!

>>6032912
So I'm back. Decided after reading up on how to properly volt-mod a stryfe, that flywheels are hasbrospacemagic and I am best leaving them alone. So I've gone and got a new Longshot, and have the OMW kits on their way. Going to hopefully buy paints and some other modding stuff tomorrow.

Not sure what to do with the paintjob. Was thinking black and purple with green detailing (Bad Juju anyone?), but am not set. Anyone have any better ideas?

>>6121879 thanks

>>6121978
If it isn't for you it isn't for you I guess, but flywheels really aren't that complex.

Hey we actually hit bump limit this time.

>>6122102
Im new around here, is that rare for nerf threads?

Also I wanted to ask if anyone has the (metric) dimensions for the catch spring and the plunger spring for a retaliator by any chance?

>>6122109
I'm new here too. It's just that the previous two threads unceremoniously fell off page 10 around 100 posts
Main spring is 9.2 x 1.7. Wire looks to be 1 mm thick. Don't know about the catch, sorry. If you're hitting up a hardware store, those small springs usually come in large packs anyway.

>>6121598
The thick uneven coat of paint doesn't do a very good job of it. It just looks plain bad. You're better of painting it standard black (or any other top coat color) and dry brushing silver "wear and tear" over it.

>>6121605
You can also store your weed in it. Regardless, it's still a nice looking stock with or without the storage feature.

>>6122109
>>6122123
Not really rare. Happens often enough. It just takes a REALLY long time before it either hits the limit, or just dies off. This thread is over 2 months old. But it helps that this is around the time Nerf puts of their new stuff for the year.

>>6121257
You don't need it for just Modulus. >>6121098 has the right idea, like some nuts for protein or just straight up sugar for whackos.

You don't even need to use the storage and just use it as a modern day Raider stock.

>>6122350
>>6120911

I like how nobody has answered how many mega darts if any it can fit

>>6122350

>>6122674
Not barrel attachment, clip-on, like the Grip Blaster. I'm already thinking about using the Barrelstrike because it has the trigger.

>>6122451

because some game types use mega darts as special ammunition.

plus that tristrike barrel attachment is tacticool as fuck

>>6122482

Gotta make that Tri-Strike barrel viable for the consumers, anon.

>>6122702
The only thing that turns me off about it is the lack of trigger until the moment I use it and I feel like I'm using a M16 grenade launcher.

If they did release a clip-on Mega blaster, though, Tri-Strike barrel's gonna be put to the side immediately for other barrels. I'd probably even replace a scope for one, too.

I keep coming back to his channel because he's generally concise and gets to the point. Sometimes he'll go off-topic, but he's usually quick about it and moves on. I've watched other Nerfers on the youtube and they just go on and on and on, loving the sound of their own voice. I've watched unboxing videos where the guy will say how he's the first to get this blaster in the country by pulling in favors from a Nerfer he met in Thailand going to a Nerf war, and over the next few months, we exchanged emails traded various customs, blah blah blah, so we wind up in the back of my car giving each other handjobs, etc.... 5 mins later, fucking blaster is still not unboxed.
