Guess who's back.

Considering getting into Nerf, but I don't know if I'd have the time to mod, and then go play in a park with a bunch of 6-30 year olds.

I was accidentally charged for a Centurion instead of a Retaliator, but it was still cheap so I don't care.

sucks that nothing Boomco related was shown by Mattel at this year's toy fair. Not even any Halo guns.

Is the Tri strike worth getting?

Is there a spring upgrade available for it?

#sniperstatus

>>6199739
Too many useless guns, even the Halo ones were mediocre. Kinda want the Colossus, tho.

>>6199837
I like that front attachment hamp, and the blaster itself is has slamfire. Overall I hear it's pretty good except for that stupid stock-scope grenade launcher.
Only problem is the front attachment doesn't work well with how the tri strike primes. If I could get one cheap I'd pass the blaster and stock to my brother and use the front attachment on a rayven or something.
It's about $10 off right now on Amazon.

Sounds like poorman's paintball marker shooting reballs.

> that essentially makes Khaos and its fat magazine useless
I wouldn't necessarily call the Khaos useless. Unless it's outfitted with a motorized hopper. You practically couldn't compete in paintball without a $100 hopper that fed reliably.

In your experiences, is it better to buy new off the store shelf / amazon shelf, or to buy used at Goodwill / thrift stores?

>>6203106
Thrift if you can actually find anything nerf related.

>>6203187
Eh, I don't think so, but I would say that they started down that path with Rivals. A hopper-fed ball launcher kinda clinches it.

I've got a Rapidstrike with a bent motor and a Stryfe with corroded wiring. Are the cages swappable?

>>6203106
The plastic will be scratched most likely but depending on the condition they should work fine. i'd say take a dart with you so you can try it out in the store first. Basically, if you want them to be in pristine condition then don't thrift. If you don't care then go for it. it'll be a hell of a lot cheaper.

You'd think he'd realize nobody gives a single fuck about him and is just interested in what he's showing off. When he pulls his face off the video he gets 1.2 million views in a week.

>>6203106
Thrift stores can be very rewarding. You can get amazing deals for less than $5 sometimes. Can't beat that feeling.

As far as buying stuff brand new, Nerf stuff is a little overpriced, IMHO. Things like the Modulus are not worth their price retail, especially the licensed models. Fortunately, they go on sale lots of times, so if you can wait for a good bargain to come along, you're golden.

Anyone have interesting Drain Blaster guns? I'm trying to decide what to properly turn mine into

>>6204397
Barricade/firefly would look nice

>>6202666
The hopper has a motorized agitater to help feed balls and has a 100 round capacity. It uses the same battery pack as the kaos, is about the same size, has similar performance but far superior capacity.

>>6204933
But you still have to keep an eye on the gun to make sure it is feeding, and it's hard to aim when you're not looking at your target.

So we have a proper tube fed pump action blaster, a thermal scope and a blaster with select fire.

This just gets better and better.

>>6205319
The thermal scope seems gimmicky. The only time it would be useful is taking potshots in complete darkness. And even then you'd have to calibrate for temperature and range.

Nerf's nightvision digital zoom scope sounds way more useful, even if it's 2-3x the cost. Not that I would buy one for $50, but it would probably be on my watch list for sales.

>>6200064
It sucked the sidearms had no ability to easily be one handed, but I felt they had better base performance then nerf weapons of similar types. And the modding potential for them really shot their performance up beyond what I thought could be possible. Sniper clip mod alone meant any clip using guns could benefit from a decent upgrade that could be just slapped on out of the box.

But the best part was how most of them looked like really good and accurate props especially when repainted.

Is the Battlescout even good, or is it just a gimmick gun?

>>6210659
>>6210743
It's a retarded gun. The only reason to buy it is for the video recorder gimmick, but it's a shitty recorder. You're better off spending the money on a real video recorder and strapping that onto your pump gun of choice. Pump because if you strap it to a flywheel masterrace, all you're hear is WHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR...

>>6210246

Anyone have a broken Strongarm they're willing to part with for cheap? I'm designing a blaster for one of my courses and part of the exercise is cloning the internals to design a new shell around.

I want to the size and barrel release functionality of the Strongarm with the firing mechanism of the Hammershot, but now that I need one of each they're nowhere to be found.

>>6210246
I've found it for as low as 45~ though I forget where

If it uses standard 130 sized motors I feel like you could put in new motors, better wiring, and a lipo and you'd get a not girly Fearless Fire.

If you can't find a Strongarm in stores anymore, then you could get this one, but it's kinda ugly.

Also
>ToyRUs exclusive

>>6211319
I couldn't even find one of those last time I checked. I DID find that someone else had modeled a Strongarm in Solidworks, but they did a poor job and it's missing the parts I need to reference.

Worst comes to worst I will just omit the release functionality, but then it won't be loadable from the back.

>>6210949
>>6211532
Why not a Maverick? IMHO the Maverick is much better looking than the Strongarm.

>>6210949
If you're in the US it's available on Amazon and Target's website (free store pick-up at Target, if you don't have Prime).

>>6212356

In this case the aesthetics of the original parts don't matter, only the mechanisms. I'm designing a new gun based on existing mechanisms in the same way that Nerf reuses internals for multiple lines. But yeah, if a Maverick has a swing-out barrel then I could use it.

The ultimate intent behind the project is to have a complete, functional, rapid prototyped Nerf blaster for my portfolio.

Isn't the Maverick also discontinued, though? And less recently than the Strongarm? All I could find at TRU and Target were Disruptors and Cyclone Shocks.I plan on using Elite darts, but I've already cloned the rotation mechanism and barrel dimensionsfrom the Disruptor.

I think you mean swing-out cylinder. In which case, yes.

>Isn't the Maverick also discontinued, though? And less recently than the Strongarm? All I could find at TRU and Target were Disruptors and Cyclone Shocks.I plan on using Elite darts, but I've already cloned the rotation mechanism and barrel dimensionsfrom the Disruptor.

It seems the Strongarm is being phased out for the Disruptor, so you won't find either readily available in stores, although TRU seems to always have old blasters on the shelves in their exclusive color schemes.

But the Maverick is everywhere 2nd hand, which is why I though it's been easier and cheaper to find.

>>6212853
>>6212501

I'll look into prices. Best case scenario I find one that's already busted, though. It feels wasteful cannibalising functional guns for a few parts. I'm also looking at at least a few hundred dollars to manufacture the presentation-quality model so low cost on raw materials is a plus.

>>6212920
WTF kind of "exercise" forces you the spend hundreds on prototypes?

>>6212926
I'm going to school for industrial design with a focus on toy design, we don't really have textbooks but our projects get EXPENSIVE. Like one semester we had a group project where our team was spending about $300/week on presentation materials, models, etc. On the plus side this program has a nearly 100% job placement record so it should be worth it.

At least I'm getting a custom blaster out of it this time.

So are the rival flywheel blasters any good? I have found a way to make an ammunition storage device for such blasters with > 1000 round capacity.

Is there even any point to having that much firepower?

>>6213126
Is it easier that a hopper? Because if not, it won't top the Nemesis.

>pokes the tip
I seen several videos of people firing it when it was the Platinum last year, but no one seemed to mention how compressable the tip is.

Really not sure how to take that. it looks to me like it wouldn't absorb any shock at all before the heavy shaft compreses it all the way and makes a more direct impact on you.

But very impressed at the range he appeared to get with the thing, wonder if some modding can make these a lot more safe without severely reducing effectiveness.

I am definitely looking forward to this thing regradless. It's sheer size and bulk, combined with it's not needing to rely on buiilding tension in the arms themselves to fire, means it would be a great platform to build replicas of bows from Monster Hunter or Dark Souls.

>>6213135
It's a hopper in a backpack. It can be however big a backpac you are willing to carry

>>6198628
Is that X-23?

>>6199837
The missile launcher is kinda bad, but it's fun for the ridiculous factor. I threw it onto my demolisher to double up the missiles.

The mega hamp is okay, but sometimes the last two fire together. I honestly haven't tried modding it yet. Putting it on my rayven for when I have jams, battery problems or run out of ammo.

The core pistol: pretty nice, but I find the handle and priming bars are a bit small for my hands. I threw a tek spring in it easily and it's great as a sidearm. Just working on a pump grip from a trashed raider now. And yes, slam-fire is nice, but follow up shots tend to be inconsistent

I'm doing some aesthetic mods on a firestrike. I have every bit of it figured out so far, I'm just completely stuck on what to do with those circle things toward the back end. I'm not doing anything steampunk, otherwise I'd throw some gauges or some shit on there. It's frustrating, any suggestions? I'm open to the idea of cutting them out and replacing them with something else, I'm pretty handy with scratch building. I just have a creative block with this particular area.

I'm just getting into nerf and tinkering around with blasters, and really don't know what needs doing. I know for blasters like the hammershit I have to remove the dart peg things, but what about the magazine feds? Do I have to do some serious work with the breeches or something?\

>>6226414
Yeah that's what she said.

>>6226616
So how exactly are you going to apply the hammer to the back of the Maverick?

>>6226683
I'm completely refabricating everything. New internals, new housing, new shells.

This is my joint semester project for two senior-level college design courses, so even if I could figure out how to graft the blasters together it wouldn't meet the requirements for the class. In a way this is easier, less bondo and epoxy to deal with.

>>6226747
Good call on taking the Maverick over the Strongarm, then. The Strongarm rotates it's barrel after the shot, the Hammershot and Maverick before.

>>6226414
Ah, that makes sense.

>>6226841
Does it really? I lucked out then, I haven't had a Strongarm in my hands in years so I didn't remember.

I am currently 5 parts away from completion, super psyched.

>>6226888
Yeah. The Strongarm uses space magic to advance the cylinder by taking power off the main spring. The Maverick does it on the trigger pull whereas the Hammershot does it on the prime, to be more specific.

>>6228385
Weird. Ether way I have all the parts completed, just gotta check my engineering tomorrow and decide which parts to print by fdm, and which to splurge for sls. The physical prototype is due in two weeks, but I have nine weeks to work on the aesthetics.

Honestly I didn't expect it to go this fast. Looking at what I have I may be able to whip up a rifle or pistol just by modifying what I have.

>>6228540
I want to try this painting method in the future at some point.

>>6228931
Ahh, it's been a while but you can actually buy graphic sheets that work like that, so you can apply printed images and patterns as well.

I'm probably not going to paint my guns, though, at least not for the course. Proff wants me to cast the parts and apply some kind of motif in gold/silver leaf, or wood veneer.

>>6229026
Yeah, there's a whole industry for hydro dipping parts, like applying fake carbon fiber decals onto whatever fits in a tub of water. My knowledge does not extend past what I've seen through youtube video, however.

But a quick search for hydro dipping wood grain gives this decal demo:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kpQXgKzWXA

Or you can just cheap out and paint it black with gold/silver accents.

>>6229051
>>6229051
I MAY end up dipping the 'wood' parts, because that's a skill we're taught about and would fit the requirements of the project. Otherwise, though, I already have the materials to coldcast parts so I'll stick to that this time around. If I have time, though, I may make duplicate casts just to make the moldmaking worth it.

Basically the point of the class is to demonstrate as many modelmaking and engineering skills as possible. A classmate who ALSO picked a nerf blaster is remilling it in aluminum and adding lights and sounds.

That's pretty dope. Looks like you're too far along to make any changes, but it looks like you could fit in a few more dart tubes in the cylinder while keeping the rear loading.

>>6229787
If I wanted to I could go back and change the values to allow for it, but aesthetically I prefer a 6-tube revolver. Solidworks is one hell of a program.

>>6229986
Wow, so you made a stamp or something then punch in a number and it fits it in for you?
Anyway, 8 is the max if you were trying to fit in Nerf foam in the space of a HS cylinder. Most people do 7 for reliability, but I think that's just cause their rotation mechs are all 3D printed and like to break. One cool dude fit in 10 BoomCo. chambers since the darts are smaller.

If you're going for the whole Victorian look here's some inspiration.

>>6230395
Kinda, every function you preform can have number values applied. Things like angles, diameters, tolerance between parts, instances in a repeating pattern, etc. If you need to adjust them you select the function you want to change and replace the values and the program fixes it. Also most of the functions in Solidworks create, well, solids instead of surfaces so they're usually watertight for 3D printing. Basically, if you're doing any kind of product design or engineering Solidworks is a lifesaver.

>>6230416
For the revolver I'm going after an art decor-lovecraftian cultist look, fancy. I do intend on making more though so Victorian will probably be happening somewhere along the line.

Any love for the Vortex line in here? The ammo is damn near invulnerable and they're all fun as fuck to operate- just got a Diatron in and it's alright my pistol waifu.

I have 3-4 of them, but only 1 one them can use all the Vortex mags that I've accumulated for it. Biggest travesty is how only the Nitron came with the super useful 20-round mag.

Compact semiauto Stryfe or the larger fullauto Rapidstrike for flywheel goodness, the former being a good primer and the latter sharing the same flywheel cage.

Stampede for motorized magfed direct plungers because I'm a plunger holdout and that priceless sound.
Always pick up Vulcan belts, even if you don't own a Vulcan quite yet. The Vulcan itself is belt fed and you can link the belts to an arbitrarily high number.
10 round Dart tag Speedswarm/Rebelle Powerbelle recolor or the 20 round Swarmfire are turreted motorized direct plungers that can be minimized to a great degree.

Working on an hvz triple shot right now and I'm concerned about The seal on the plunger. It's got a skirt on it like real old nerf blasters used to have and a smaller rubber stopper-skirt on the end.

Do the different triple shots have different quality? IE. better plunger seal/plastic

Should I worry about the seal on the plunger or between the turret and plunger tube? I put my finger on the end of the tube and press the plunger rod and air comes out the back.

I've got high hopes for this thing because of how fuck huge some of the parts are and that delicious shotgun meme but the skimpiness of the plastic scares me. I'm reinforcing that shit with hot glue JB weld but should I fuck with the skirt seal thing?

>>6233091
If the groupings aren't tight, I'd say there's no need to worry about range past 20-30 ft. Past that and you're just wasting ammo. with a 4-round blaster.

What do you need them for? Some people do nerf wars, hvz, or just shoot at their wall.

If you REALLY just wanted to get the whole nerf brand experience then you'd want a Vulcan, Longshot, Recon (or any variant), Apollo, Titan, Stampede, and a nitefinder (or any variant).
As someone with way too many I can tell you it'd be stupid to throw your money at junk Nstrike blasters just to experience the pants-wetting glory of an original maverick barely breaking 25ft.

Not much valuable in the Nstrike line in terms of the blasters themselves. Maybe some Whiteout blasters but those are just collector's items

Longshots are still used but need kits and modding so they'd just be a money drain.

I'd say you're cool with the stryfe, hammershot, and fusefire. The rest is just stuff you'd never really use in a game. The stryfe also has attachment kits and is kinda like the new Longshot in that it's the modding community's darling right now.

Is the Modulus any good?

>>6233787
It's just a stryfe reshell. It's good if you wanted more attachments on a stryfe

>>6233792
So what about the stryfe? Is that any good?
[spoiler]Sorry, I really don't know much about nerf's details.[/spoiler]

>>6233795
nicely sized
plenty of options for barrels/stocks/rail stuff
flywheel

>>6233787
>>6233792
I like it for being symmetric. The way the Stryfe's right side protrudes tickled my autism the first time I threw a stock on it.

>>6233787
It's a slightly bigger and more expensive stryfe.
Stryfes are starting to become rare so if you wanted a re-shell with a fuckton of plastic shit then there you go. If you already have a stryfe, decent electric blaster, or something you use as a primary in games then don't bother.

The sum of it is that the Modulus isn't a special blaster. It's a stryfe stuffed into a bigger shell to have rifle ergonomics. Any Stryfe reskin is a good blaster but the question is how much you want to spend on what is most often a $20 blaster.

>>6233795
What >>6233811 said.
It's one of the cheapest/most reliable electric blasters right now and it's already the size of a pistol to boot. You're not paying for empty plastic shell with this thing. You're getting your pure money's worth and with mod kits being available for it upgrades are as easy as dropping bills into Amazon or looking up a guide.

Is there a guide somewhere I can refer?

>>6235931
Get into airsoft I guess. I cant think of many Nerf guns that aren't fantasy or sci-fi looking. I mean, some take inspiration from real guns of course, but the overall styling, colors, and proportions aren't really gonna resemble a real gun without modification.

Hammershot, senpai. Always Hammershot.

I mostly play Nerf with younger cousins and family, and I'm looking for some new guns. What's your favorite unmodified gun?

>>6235830
The Maverick is great, if they still make that.

>>6236191
They don't, but you can snag old ones online.

The Strongarm is the modern Maverick equivalent I believe. I don't like it as much though, even though the cylinder makes neat clicky noises when you spin it.

>>6236214
Doesn't the Strongarm have slamfire and more chambers?

>>6236219
It does have Slamfire, but I'm fairly sure both have six chambers.

>>6236224
I remember one of my friends really liked not having slamfire. No idea why.

>>6236326
You can deprime a blaster without dryfiring it or having to stick a dart in there. Usually only relevant if you've taken out the air restrictor.

>>6235853
The Firestrike isn't good at all, unless you want it for pure looks.

>>6235953
What's your definition of a "bolt action"?

>>6236191
The Maverick is only good for it' looks. Otherwise, it is severely outclassed by anything modern.

Going to paint this today, the giant hole is for a vertical flywheel cage. The other hole is for a pusher mech, yes its a full auto Crossbolt. points to who ever figures out where all the parts comes from.

>>6237294
i'd say Crossbolt for the front, hyperfire for the body, Modulus ECS-10 for the carry handle up top and rapidstrike for the stock.

I don't know about the green piece.

>>6237304
Actually, scratch the hyper fire, i don't know what i was thinking. Just cross bolt for the body.

>>6237294

It's not uncommon for a toy to be released one way and then later down the line, make small changes. And for stores not to sell all of the first batch and to order more.

do optics actually work or are they just for looking cool?
I can't imagine the darts fly straight enough for a scope to make a difference

>>6238851
depends on the darts. normal Nerf darts are ass for accuracy. Accustike darts are much more accurate but you lose range. I'd recommend EKIND waffle head darts which are cheaper than accustrike darts but have the same performance. You can find them on amazon for £12.99 for 200 in the uk.

>>6238851
Optics are mostly just to look cool. They might help a bit for aiming at something 20 ft away, but you could probably get similar performance just by using the iron sights.

>>6238851
You have to believe in the heart of the darts.

Ordered a Retaliator and a Disruptor online! Forgot to use a coupon though, and couldn't cancel the original order so I just re-ordered another set using the coupon (will return the extras in-store eventually).

The mistake kinda worked out though, as when I opened the Retaliator from the first order, the tip of the raised Nerf logo swoop was chipped off! Not the biggest deal, but you know, would rather have it proper instead, haha.

The Retaliator was advertised as the blue version, but obviously turned out to be the white one. Pretty happy about that though, as that means the Stormtrooper blaster's accessories fit really nicely with it! The white mag looks awesome on the Retaliator, and while the scope gets in the way of priming it also looks rad, haha.

Very fun guns, top priming ain't ideal but they shoot well, operate smoothly, and I really like how they look.

I like springer guns as they seem to be less hassle, but I could get a Modulus for $30. Do you guys think that'd be a good buy?

>>6239204
That seems to be the going price of a Modulus, so it's not a jump on it deal. Only if you really like the attachments and the fact that it's a bigger Stryfe.

>>6239785
Nice barrel.

>>6239785
the thing sucks . its barrel never stays on and the shots it makes are weak

>>6239817
What about the blue version, it's an N-strike update so it should be better?

>>6239832
Its fine. thinner profile due to one less shot. I like the option to add a barrel and stock. It looks stupid with a stock, but i appreciate the option.

>>6239833
How well does the N-Strike Elite version fire? Does it get the advertised 75 feet? How's the accuracy?

Do all Nerf guns benefit from removing the air restrictors?

>>6239904
Nah, don't bother with elites

>>6239892
It shoots just as well as the average elite performance in my experience. Accuracy is the same as every nerf gun...so complete ass.

Are foam assault lorries already a thing?
Maybe with pullback function or yabadabadoo.

>>6239785
The spectre and every iteration of it is inferior to the base revolver (Strongarm, Maverick, Hammershot, etc) in the same line. The attachments are cool but not functional.

Even the Alphahawk is just a reskin of the spectre.

Do not be tricked by this oversized and subpar pistol pretending to be a primary.

>>6240576
But the barrel is so cool

>>6240579
You can buy the barrel separately offhand.

>>6240602
Does it fit on a Strongarm?

>>6240607
The strong arm does not have a barrel attachment point.

No.

>>6240668
Do any good pistols have one? I want to try to get the silenced pistol look.

>>6240579
The only thing the barrel from the spectre had going for it was that it had a wide inside diameter that didn't fuck with darts.

However, it doesn't have the little button thing other barrel attachments have to clip on blasters so it will not attach well to some. I have one and it's wobbly as fuck.

Big Green is Robot Damashii Kapool. Small Grey is Converge Z'Gok-E. Small Blue is Converge Hy-Gogg.

>>6241214
I found wave 2 at a local shop and bought two Hy-Goggs. Which turned out to be a good idea. See, the Hy-Gogg only has one fully articulated arm--the other one is a lame single piece. Luckily, you can swap two functioning arms onto one, and...well, the other one will just suck. It's a real shame, and it will make hunting harder for people since they need to track down two to make one "good" Hy-Gogg.

Said shop also had the P-Bandai Z'Gok-E, which comes with the orange jetpack and missile units for the arms. I REALLY wanted it, but then I realized that I didn't even care about the Z'Gok-E, and was basically about to drop like $45 just to make a perfect Universal Unit Hy-Gogg. Which is ludicrous. So I jetted. And oh yeah, I also forgot that there are two variants of the Hy-Gogg itself, one with open and one with closed fingers. And they're blind-boxed of course. Good luck with your hunt, Bandai really made this one kind of infuriating for completists.

>>6241677
I was aware of the fact te variants had a closed hand and ten the oter was a open hand. I was NOT aware of te articulation issues. That is definitely a huge concern for me. Thank you for pointing that out for me. I now am more likely to consider grabbing the entire box for wave 2 then I was before to ensure I get them both.

wait, is it possible to use the articulated arm as eiter left or right? or is it strictly one side only? that would make me less worried about getting two of the same gogg

>>6241706
Yeah, it is. The arms are symmetrical as far as I can tell, so you can swap them around in any arrangement you please.

>>6243365
I tried to make the flywheels vertical but there simply wasn't enough space. The flywheels will be activated by a switch on the other side. The pusher will work by pulling a semi-floppy plate that will pull the darts into the flywheels.

>>6243784
Unnf is a good thing, I'm saying it makes me moist. Medicine bottles make great motor covers, btw. I avoided the Barricade because of the switch style rev needing to take my thumb off the grip, but it looks like you can operate yours with an index finger like a mag release. Good call.

In the incredibly minor defense of the price, it includes a lithium ion battery and a charger. The battery probably doesn't have a peak discharge capable of supporting upgraded motors, but it beats buying bunches of alkalines just to feed the thing. And if it's at all like like the Renegade blaster from the company, the shell has tons of room for customizations. YMMV.

They only stupid thing about it is the rail on the slide, which they sorta addressed on the Recon II by putting MOAR RAILS on the side. Otherwise, the included attachments are a letdown, and the finger guard looks badly tacked on.

Elites are more front heavy than older micro darts. I think whistlers are the exception because they were unusually heavy for microdarts to begin with.

I think more front-heavy darts usually have better range.

That little hole on the tip of the Elite dart really fucks with its accuracy... I think. I don't think old streamlines and whistlers had this problem as much.

As for why whistlers aren't used: more difficult feeds for mag-fed blasters. Blasters that used whistlers and old suckers always had the tip poke out of the front of the barrel or at least never had the whole dart inside the actual barrel itself.
You can see something similar to this with the 1/2" pvc blowguns people used for whistlers. It would grip the tip instead of the dart itself and not seal super great. They were scary, don't get me wrong, but you couldn't make a spring-powered blaster out of that kind of barrel or slap a magazine onto it and load it correct every time because the tip would grip in just the wrong way or if you had a breach it could possibly snap the dart after it closed.

Buddy of mine has one of those pump-action foregrips. He told me the ARs were fucked up out of the box and it will always misfire at least one dart.

The Rayven hasn't aged well compared to the elite stuff out now but since the front only pokes out like two inches past the hand it's basically like handling a jolt. The rayven is goddamn tiny cause you never have to worry about the back end. It's probably the easiest blaster to wield one-handed with a 35rnd drum in it that you can find so it evens itself out as a close up blaster for shit like hvz now unless you want to mod it.

Foregrips are fucking comfy as shit on the rayven tho. I zip tied a modded jolt to a spectre barrel and slapped it on my rayven for games way back when. Put a partypopper I filled with darts on the side too.

Whistler darts (and most Nerf darts that existed at the time) have a bulbous head, which makes them incompatible with magazine-fed blasters. Streamline/Elite darts are, for the most part, compatible with everything, which is why Nerf pretty much only makes those anymore.

Nerf now has its Accustrike darts, which are one of the most accurate darts you can now get. At some point, I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually become Nerf's standard dart because everyone knows how much the Streamline/Elite darts suck.

Buddy dumped me an Agent bow after a got a bunch of arrows on discount. It's shit but fun. Is there anything I can do to it to make the loading a little more practical? I know how to shoot it but can I maybe slice it up somewhere so I can shoot a little faster?

>>6251458
I mean this thing is retarded about trying to nock arrows.

Can I cut a hole in one side but leave the holder in the back intact while reinforcing the other side with epoxy so it doesn't snap in half?

It's probably the fucking lever. That lever is garbage.
That or the gears could be fucked but the lever is always the first thing to break on that blaster.
My money is on the ratcheting part of the lever getting fucked. It's an easy fix if the gears are fine and you don't lose any pieces.

Oh geeze
I guess boomco better watch out, huh anon?

The orange tip is only legally required on airsoft guns. Everyone else does it to avoid liability in case someone manages to confuse a Pulsator for a gun.

>>6252964
Boomco is able to get away with that example because the barrel is completely non functional. And the rest of the gun is painted a bright color.

But yes you are right that so far only Airsoft guns are legally required to do that. In America at least, I recall hearing somewhere that the UK requires over 40% of the toy to have a coverage of bright color.

Also >>6251524 didn't make any mention to Legal matters, just mentioned the news. Which I assume means that he is saying the person will be mistaken for holding a real gun and then shot. But even if the person had the orange tip it still does not matter. Most cops seem to agree that the orange tip does not help that much, there are way too many instances where the tip can be hidden, or the color can't be seen at a distance and/or low light. in low light even the full coverage orange color sometimes can't be discerned properly. But this is why cops have to first demand the gun by placed on the ground. There have been many examples of cops showing up at nerf and airsoft battles, but you never hear about them on the news because nothing happened. The cops aren't nearly as trigger happy as the media lets on.

Pretty much.
Still, the orange tip thing is specific to airsoft. BB and paintball guns don't follow that rule either for some reason.

>>6253788
I really bloody want one of those boomco pistols but i'd get raped with shipping as they don't sell them in the UK it would seem.

>>6253788
Paintball guns have the fact they don't look like real guns even from a distance going for them in most cases. That great big hopper and gas tank helps.

BB guns, because they are NOT toys, nor imitation guns. But on the other hand they are not classified as a true firearm hence why they can be sold so easily. They exist in a legal grey zone. Neither side covers them. FAr too weak for the firearms codesto handle them, and too dangerous to be considered a toy and thus require the orange tip.

>>6254349
Is what what I'm saying anon. There's guns then there's airsoft that needs the orange. Everything else is in a weird limbo.
BB ≠ Airsoft... or at least I meant those metal BBs, not the plastic ones... Uh...
Anyway, it's mandatory only for airsoft. Everything else is a grey zone. Shit should be mandatory but it ain't.

Working on the shell, the gun is gonna be huuuge. 13.5" seems to be the total length so far, so about 2" longer than the strongarm.

>>6254996
here is why it SHOULDNT be mandatory for BB

the tip denotes it as a toy. People will NOT take it seriously. BUT THEY NEED TO. Unlike nerf or even airsoft, BB guns can actually be lethal if not careful. But I do not think they should be kept behind lock and key like normal guns. I mean you don't see Bow and Arrow treated the same way as fire arms and they are definitely more deadly then BBs.

The whole orange tip laws are dumb to begin with. They were made as a knee-jerk reaction to fools getting shot by police when they run around playing games in the park at night. They may work as placebo for soccer moms, but no cop worth their salt is going to look at an orange tip and think "Oh, it's a toy, carry on." They have their own procedures to determine whether a gun is a toy or not. I swear the next person to go on a shooting rampage should paint all the tips of their guns orange just to demonstrate what a stupid law it is. Watch them walk around a school and teachers go "Ah, orange tip! Come out, children! All is safe!"

My point entirely. It's a bizarre rule that really only sates my autism when I see an orange barrel. It's not a law however. Ultimately it is, as you said, a safety placebo (pic related). Still, if you're playing a game on a campus it really helps to keep normies from spazzing out.

Had a bunch of reward points expiring soon at Kmart, so I headed in planning to pick up a flip-clip set (had just enough in points/coupons to get it for free) as I could use a few more 12 dart mags.

Walked out with a Rapidstrike instead! Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw them on the shelf. Like most Kmarts, the toy section is pretty anemic, but their Nerf section was amazingly well-stocked. They wanted $46 for it, but with points/coupons managed to get it for 23 bucks!

I'd checked out a couple reviews on the Rapidstrike beforehand, and the overall impression I got was that without modding, its performance is a bit weak. Still, that great looking pulse rifle-esque shell had me very interested, and I just couldn't resist after finally seeing it in person.

Only problem is that I apparently have just two C batteries in my house, haha.

TRUanon back, but this time I have a trick you kids can try at home!

Because the Rebelle Decode darts are being phased out(?), you can buy a refill pack at ToysRUs for 3 cents (If they still have any left). Because it's so old, it comes up in the system as 3¢, so it's completely legal and everything for you to clear the shelves of them.

Oh, and I paid $4 for a Stryfe.

>>6255483
How dare you.You take that back. Right now.

>>6255441
Since this is being done as a project for two classes I have to take design input from my professors. One rrreeeeeaaaaallly likes the Rebelle line because of the organic shapes so I'm trying to keep it smooth.

>>6255483
Yeah, he particularly hates the Hammershot because the edgy body doesn't mesh well with the organic curves of the handle.

>>6255468
>Still, if you're playing a game on a campus it really helps to keep normies from spazzing out.
I recently discovered a case that falls into that. Someone picked up a BB Gun to buy at WalMart, and he proceeded to walk around with it while shopping. Not sure WHY it was not in some kind of packaging, not really sure how they sell/display BBguns at stores, but needless to say some idiot bystander went full retard and called 911. Probably was freaking the HELL out which caused the cops to come into the store in full shoot on sight mode. Dude died in the process. Obviously the cops should have ascertained that he was not doing anything against the law before they aimed their weapons at him. This whole obsession with 'orange tip means safe' results in problems.

>>6255537
yeah I can't wait to find those Goggs either online for a decent price, or at some local store. Sadly no local store in my immediate area carries that stuff usually, I would have to wait for one of the out of the way BnNs to get them from bluefin.

I am however on vacation atm, so here goes hope I might find them at Epcot. probably won't be as cheap as BnN but as long as it doesn't go over $15 I amwilling to pay for tiny Goggs.

>>6255914
>some idiot bystander went full retard and called 911
The problem here is that bystanders STILL call the police even when the toy is painted as such. Having an orange tip does not guarantee you from having people freak out.

The only solution is to make open carry mandatory for all citizens.

Seriously! They're indistinguishable, haha.

Grabbed some Cs on the way home (haven't been so excited to pick up batteries in a while, haha). Threw 'em into the Rapidstrike and started shooting. Man, you're totally right! I really like how it shoots! Shoots just as well as any of my springers and the rate of fire ain't bad at all. I like how it's pretty easy to fire off one shot at a time too. Was also surprised at how quiet the motors were (relatively), for some reason I was expecting them to be really loud.

Really fun blaster! Glad to add it to the Elite arsenal.

>>6255617
Man, I stopped by TRU on the way home to see if I could grab some cheap darts, and the store was closed up with "for lease" signs in the window! Got another one in town, but dang, gonna miss this one.

>>6256419

>The only solution is to make open carry mandatory for all citizens.
You are starting to talk my language, maybe not the dialect but close enough. The problem is everyone treats all firearms as a weapon of mass shooting. I remember a story my Great Grand dad told us, he and his brothers would go to school with their hunting rifles and they werent the only ones doing it. They would leave the guns in the principals office and come by at the end of the day to pick them up for hunting.

I wouldnt go so far as make open carry mandatory for EVERYONE but I feel everyone needs to have that sense of proper respect for a firearm as more then just a simple weapon returned.

>>6255914
I know at the end of the day these guys are off topic for this general, but it should be the last time I personally mention these Hy-Goggs. SUCCESS! I grabbed 2 out of the 3 Hy-Goggs on display at Epcot Japan. Only $10 too! thats because these are the Bluefin distributed ones so no direct import fees bumping the price. Unfortunately they both were the same gogg. on the plus side they were the open hand one which i think not only is better overall but also if i ever feel like it i could try using hot water to bend them into a closed position. So if anyone takes a vacation to epcot and is interesting in tiny robots on your desk, keepan eye out in epcot's Japan section.

Oh, did have two questions about the Rapidstrike.

First, mine has this unusual circular indentation around the right rail. The indentation follows the lines of the shell, so it's not just on the flat side of the shell. Picture didn't come out too clear, so I tried to highlight it with some arrows, haha. At first I thought it was a mold line or something, but it's pretty jagged for a mold line. Anyone else seen this kinda thing on a Rapidstrike?

Second, do you guys suggest taking out the batteries when I'm not shooting?

>>6256810
>I grabbed 2 out of the 3 Hy-Goggs on display at Epcot Japan. Only $10 too! thats because these are the Bluefin distributed ones so no direct import fees bumping the price.

>>6256802
Is that the Stormtrooper mag, or did you just paint it white?

>>6256821
Never noticed that circle, and I don't have mine available to check it out, so I can't say if it's a defect or not. As far as batteries, same practice as any other electronic device. The plus side is that if the batteries to leak, it's only the battery tray getting messed up.

Is 40 bucks worthwhile for a Centurion? The thing is, by all accounts, a turd, but I hear the range is on par with any Elite blaster and that's enough for me, given how badass it looks.

Secondly, is there a decent 3rd party MEGA dart out there, given that this thing is going to devour my darts?

You entirely misunderstand. Function and all aside, part of its turd-ness comes from its range being inconsequential compared to how amazingly inaccurate it is. You're paying $40 only for the cool.

Buzz Bee has a compatible 12 round mega dart mag for what it's worth.

>>6257310
I'll tell your MP I don't like the hammershot too.

>>6257756
You have the Air Warriors MAX XL Distance darts. They're 20mm darts with a suction cup head. 5 bucks off Amazon for 12 darts. Sometimes on clearance at your Walmart for a dollar.

>>6256870
I appreciate the input, anon! I managed to find a couple super high-res photos of Rapidstrikes last night and they didn't have the circle, so I stopped by the store to exchange it today.

Store was really cool about it and let me check out the new blaster before doing the exchange and... it had the exact same circle in the exact same spot, haha. The pics I looked at last night were the old orange striped version, so maybe something changed with the white stripe, or it may just be a quirk with this particular batch of Rapidstrikes. In any case, at least I've got some peace of mind now about it, haha.

>Is that the Stormtrooper mag, or did you just paint it white?

From what I know about the Mega line, I think a Rotofury or CycloneShock would be the better buy.

I think they want the centurion for the tacticool though.
Gotta mention Worker has parts so you can load regular darts into the rotofury or cycloneshock. I got a bigshock I rebarreled and it's really mean as far as jolts go.

Too bad it can't feed Suction megas though. The flywheel gap apparently destroys itself cause the Air Warrior suction Mega heads don't compress well enough.

Are there any good double barrel handheld front loaders that aren't the bright green "zombie" doublestrike?

I need a double barrel frontloader to customize my copy of Secret Hitler - there are two spaces that need someone to get shot and killed, and thus, being able to shoot them with an actual Nerf, loaded beforehand with two bullets, one for each, like a countdown, would be great. Right now we just use a Jolt and set two bullets next to it. I have a Triad but it would feel misleading to use something that shoots 3 when the max number used is 2, and that one isn't very accurate anyway and I don't want people shooting the wrong player.

At this point I'm considering just getting the zombie doublestrike and trying my first ever paintjob on it.

>>6260131
My understanding is that the CycloneShock is a good blaster, one of the best in the Mega line, but I'd suggest a sidearm that uses the same ammo as your Demolisher, unless you have a particular reason you need something to shoot Mega darts. To that end, I think the Hammershot will serve you quite well. Shoots great, easy to reload, and best of all, can be primed & fired with one hand.

It'll match the orange of your Demolisher too!

>>6260058
>He thinks 3 testicles are better than 2

>>6259263
Custom painting is one of the easiest mod. For easy mode, you'll only need one can of spray paint and maybe some masking tape.

>>6260131
I think it's definitely worth it, as long as you're okay with the massive size and the different ammo. Or if you want to use the same ammo, you can rebarrel the CycloneShock to use standard Elite darts, which makes it a more powerful Strongarm/Disruptor but oversized.

>>6260349
Just spray paint and masking tape? Do you just tape up the parts you want to retain the colour of and then drench the thing? Is it that simple? I thought you had to sand off the original finish, etc.

Will the paint peel/look ugly if I go for the simple way?

If it really is that easy then I'll totally repaint the zombie doublestrike, because that thing looks magnificent as far as form factor goes - the colour is the only detractor.

>>6260834
The proper way is sand, automotive primer, base paint, tape and secondary, detailing, and clear coat. Paint is applied in light coats with ample drying time between each coat. Depends on how long you expect it to last if you're using and dropping it all the time.

It'll be used pretty frequently, our Secret Hitler group meets up once to twice a week, and it's never just the player who should actually be touching it - it gets fired a dozen times before we start, the losing team normally picks it up and unloads at the winners afterward to get their rage out, etc.

All I was planning on doing was turning everything green into blue. Everything else should stay the way it is. Think I'll need to disassemble it for that?

I'd rather call it a secondary since it's so big. You should definitely rebarrel it like >>6260349 said. If you're interested, some people may still make overpriced 3d printed cylinders that make it into a shotgun.

>>6260852
You should but it's got like two parts that could spring out when you open it so be sure you know where everything goes.
Fortunately for you when you butterfly it open and scoop out the guts all the orange stuff can be set aside when you paint it.

>>6260852
OF COURSE you could be maximum lazy and just put tape over the stuff you don't want to fuck and blast it with primer, let it dry, then blast it with paint.

>>6260845
This is the proper way to do it. But it takes time and I find it's often overkill.

>>6260834
>>6260852
I would ignore sanding unless you seriously want details taken off, like the molded camo patterns on an N-Strike blaster. Otherwise, just give the surface a wash to get rid of any dirt and oil. Use a primer+paint spray can meant for plastic in the color of your and use multiple light coats. Use tape to mask off the areas you want to keep. The Doublestrike looks like the orange pieces are separate from the green, so I would take it apart, remove want you can, then mask off what you want to keep. Split apart, you can also spray both sides in one go. Just make sure to keep the coats light. You don't have to cover everything in the first (or second) pass. This is what multiple coats are for and prevents paint from pooling in spots, or dripping, or any other pitfalls associated with thick coats.

Looking to buy a new Nerf Gun, what should I get?

Currently own a Strong arm, a Demolisher, a Firestrike, a Mega Magnus and the Mega Thunderbolt

I was thinking maybe the Mastodon, but it's a lot

been monitoring these threads for a while and got a few questions

use or just collection?
how do you handle used ammo?
where would you use these?

>>6261698
You modding? You look like you could use a Spring primary. Retaliator is fun. Recon MK II has an extra tac rail and routinely goes on sale for 5 bucks off Amazon (just for the base blaster alone, though). Longshot has a giant plunger tube, but weak in stock form. There's more, but I'm not sure what you're looking for.
>>6261732
Collect to use
Fired 5 times, refreshed for 5 more shots in a dryer bag, then the bucket
Most anywhere. If you go out in public parks just pick up after yourselves, be courteous to other patrons, and don't spray paint your blasters black.

>>6261741
the question was really, how do you handle all the darts laying around when done?
i can see many conflicts going something like "nigger stole my darts"

>>6261741
I don't know the first thing about modding, but it seems interesting. Not really sure what I'm looking for either, maybe a full auto since I don't own any?

Paying someone to make it would be preferable. No more than $100.

>>6261744
Tell them to grow up, prolly. 3rd party darts are 5 cents a piece. Or you could have a pot and let people contribute and take home as many as they proportionally contributed.
>>6261759
Hyperfire is fun stock. Standard Elite ranges and 5 darts a second. Limited upgrade path, as the orientation of the flywheels (canted) add a spin to the dart and isn't engineered for higher speeds. It's conveyor belt pusher also is a weak point and there aren't any good replacement belt sources. Rapidstrike is preferred for modders but "only" shoots 3 dps stock. It's pusher system can do stupid dps reliably and it shares the same flywheels and flywheel cage as the popular Stryfe, a smaller Demolisher, so you'd have a lot of options to upgrade.

>>6261698
>Mega Magnus and the Mega Thunderbolt
>no CycloneShock or Rotofury

That's an unusual MEGA collection. I think the only issue with the Mastodon is the weight and price, so it's really up to you if $60 is going to wreck your savings. That said, I did note you're missing a Cyclone and Rotofury.

>>6261732
Sometimes use, mostly collect. I buy chinese suction darts on the ebay for like 100/$4, so I don't care if I wreck or lose darts, especially if I'm playing with kids. I also buy them in hot pink cuz nobody fucks with hot pink darts.

>>6261767
Take sandpaper, add the scratches to the plastic before painting. Prime then paint gunmetal grey. Wash and drybrush with silver. The silver parts are painted silver and washed/drybrushed with black. That handle is pretty nice, so I can't say exactly how they did it. Either they found a handle that matched really well, or they custom-made their own. It might just be layered with Bondo, textured a bit, then painted like wood (brown base with black details).

>>6261698

I've got a hyperfire and I kinda regret it. With the rate of fire I burn through my 35rnd drums way too fast. It is great up close and is godly for suppression but you will never hit anyone with it except the one retard that rushes you. That's not to say it isn't accurate. It has better grouping than the Rapidstrike, but once you fire for half a second everyone can tell your max range and can just stand like a foot outside it until you reload. That's good for spooking people to back up but doesn't bode well for you if you're alone because it's predictable.

I passed up the opportunity to buy a $25 rapidstrike a while back and have been regretting it ever since. Is it a worthwhile purchase at $50?

Should be retailing at 40, so doubtful unless you really want it now. You could wait for a deal to pop up, either from a sale or by secondhand.

$50 is crazy. Even Hyperfires are only $40. $30 is what I'd be willing to pay, unless Rapidstrikes are out of production or something.

I massively upgraded the Hyperfire running MTB Rhinos on the flywheels and a honey badger for the conveyer belt pusher and have ran literally hundreds of darts through it at break-neck speeds off a 3s lipo and have had no problems, not even the touted, "whirly bird" syndrome. I think those issues were just launch batch problems.

that hyperfire mod is my dream...i'd sell my left nut to have something like that. Maybe one day i will finally learn how to mod electronic blasters so i can.

Take any Rapidstrike wiring diagram. Do that to the Hyperfire. It's dead simple.

RS can be a tough place to start if you're new to rewiring entirely; The stryfe is an excellent place to start in that case

so im thinking of making a replica kraber from titanfall. should i just use my raider or go and buy a rampage (costs 50ish dollars in where i live)?

Depends on how you want it to perform. Personally, I would do it to the Raider if you're not familiar with these kinds of mods.
