anime52k8 Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 Not that into the battery box on the mag but overall it's pretty cool looking. Quote
Chronocidal Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Holy crap... Do want. Even being a flywheel blaster. Though I've never cared much for the whole "always on" functionality of flywheels. I saw someone make a mod to activate it with trigger pull, but it takes a couple seconds to bring the wheels up to speed. Quote

I saw someone make a mod to activate it with trigger pull, but it takes a couple seconds to bring the wheels up to speed. That was SG Nerf, admin of Nerfsg forums. Actually if you overdrive the motor a bit with a lithium ion battery like 2x14500 and a spacer then there is hardly any lag. The 14500 is a rechargeable lithium ion battery that puts out 3.7 volts. hot off the charger it puts out 4.2v. Running two of these you get 8.4-7.4v more than enough for the motor to spin faster. I believe the higher rate of voltage gets the motors spinning faster and sooner. However I dont think it is a good idea to keep running them on for a long time. short burst. Quote

treatment Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 my godson already got the Nitron on his b'day, but the rest of my nerf-capable little nephews are getting these for x'mas to challenge him. Quote
areaseven Posted December 10, 2011 Author Posted December 10, 2011 Thank goodness for surplus stores. I managed to score a Longshot CS-6 for under US$25. This isn't even available at retail where I'm at. Quote
areaseven Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 Here are a couple of badass videos using Nerf blasters and lots of visual effects. Quote
JELEINEN Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 One of my nephews got the singleshot vortex pistol for Christmas the otherday and I have to say, it had a lot of oomph to it. I don't know if it's because the ammo might be heavier, but it felt like it hit signifcanly harder than the darts. Quote

I don't know if it's because the ammo might be heavier, but it felt like it hit significantly harder than the darts. Vortex discs are no heavier than regular Nerf darts, but because they're hard plastic discs wrapped in solid foam rings and the manual blasters use a spring catapult mechanism, they do sting when you get hit.

Lynx7725 Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Behold - the clusterfrakk of Nerf blasters: the N-Strike Unity Power System. Hmm. I wonder. With a bit of mod, a bit of rubber hose work, maybe you can turn the rocket launcher into a MIRV.. Of course accuracy is down the drain, but as a single-shot, saturation attack, it might be worth it.

Chronocidal Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Aha.. yeah.. now, if you want to make something that'll put a foam dart through a wall, glue some pvc into the missile launcher tube, and use that pump to shoot single darts. Quote
Chewie Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 I have a whole slew of Nerf weapons I no longer use and am looking to possibly get rid of. Any of you guys maybe interested in taking them off my hands? I have the gatling gun, the little folding one with the flashlight, the blue longshot, and a sub machine style one I forget the name of. They're all in a box from when I moved but I can crack it open and get the names of the vague ones. Just curious. ^^ Quote

Solscud007 Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) I picked up a Nerf Rayven the other day. I integrated the Nerf Jolt so that it acts like a vertical grip, like a P90 and as a backup shot. And this is my latest modifications. Magpul rails to add tacticool stuff. NV scope, IR light and a laser. Oh here is video of my Rayven. Bullpups are awesome. So compact. Edited January 5, 2012 by Solscud007 Quote
Solscud007 Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Hasbro is using anime for their designs. Seburo from GITS. Quote
one_klump Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 I see no problem with this. I haven't seen any Rayvens in my area, time to look again! Quote
Graham Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Damn, that Rayven looks nice, but was disappointed to find out it was an electric flywheel gun If it was a manual cocking springer, I would have bought it for sure. Graham Quote

areaseven Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 In keeping with the annual Marvel/Nerf crossover toys, Hasbro will release a purple/black repaint of the N-Strike Big Bad Bow for The Avengers. Quote
jwasko Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 In keeping with the annual Marvel/Nerf crossover toys, Hasbro will release a purple/black repaint of the N-Strike Big Bad Bow for The Avengers. Funny thing: those were the original colors, back in 1998. Quote
areaseven Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 Here's another cross-promotional item for The Avengers: a redesigned Maverick REV-6 with weaker internals and a firing distance of 20 feet. Quote
Lynx7725 Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Why would they do weaker internals...? Quote
areaseven Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 Why would they do weaker internals...? Your guess is as good as mine. At least it's not like in Iron Man 2, where Hasbro downgraded from the Magstrike AS-10 (and Firefly REV-8 outside the U.S.) to the crappy Transformers: Energon blaster. Quote

areaseven Posted February 16, 2012 Author Posted February 16, 2012 This August, Hasbro will relaunch the Lazer Tag line with new blasters that use iPhones for HUD and online scoring. Hasbro Reinvents Lazer Tag for the Smartphone Generation Quote
areaseven Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) .... we need a facepalm emo-icon. My thoughts exactly. Lazer Tag died when Worlds of Wonder died. Edited March 5, 2015 by areaseven Quote
areaseven Posted February 17, 2012 Author Posted February 17, 2012 This September 9, Hasbro tells modders to stick it with reworked blasters that fire up to 75 feet. Among the blasters are the Rampage (a Raider with a 25-dart drum and a blast shield, minus the stock) and the Retaliator (a Recon with a larger magazine clip, a foregrip and a sturdier stock). N-Strike Elite Quote
JB0 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 This August, Hasbro will relaunch the Lazer Tag line with new blasters that use iPhones for HUD and online scoring. Hasbro Reinvents Lazer Tag for the Smartphone Generation "As you play, new attacks and gear will be unlocked for you to enhance your gaming experience." Seriously? They added a levelling mechanic to freaking Lazer Tag? Does this sound even remotely like a bad idea to anyone else? Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought the point was always that the best player won and everyone had a good time, not that everyone was grinding to get better weapons and armor so they could take their friends on.
