What Happened....

Well as you can see we have not posted here in out two weeks. Well long story short,

Roboteer was soaked by a minecraft hurricane.
BBV returned to his old blog (sorta).
Ice and Icicle melted.
I was accidentally deleted as an author by BBV (He sent me a request to return but I lost the email for a while)
And the other authors went to youtube because its easier.

Au Revoir

First, I have to apologise to the Arctic Nerf crew, as I've decided that I am leaving it , with my authors , without the ices , it wouldn't feel right, so bye bye. My blog is www.blackboarderv.blogspot.com
Bye! Really sorry

Address Change

Hey guys, at the end of this month, Arctic Nerf will be reverting back to it's blogger address: thefoamflingingburrito.blogspot.com This is the start of a few changes to the site that are coming about as a result of myself and Icicle slowing our Nerf habits. I recently launched a small business, ramsbarry technologies, which has been taking most of my time. Plus, I lost interest in much of the nerf field. With Nerf Mods and Reviews' recent revival, we feel that the modding community will be left in good hands after we leave. The other authors here will still post and we will post from time to time, but not as much as we once did. On a side note: ramsbarry Technologies can fix your iPod, iPhone or iPad screen. 4th generation iPod repairs start at $65, with a wide range of colors available for slightly more. The ramsbarry site launches soon. For now, contact me at icecubed@arcticnerf.com for more information.

I am back

Frost is back! expect more posts!

Shopping Finds!

So I went shopping the other day and I found LOTS of scouts..

Thats about 20 Packs of Scouts....

Nerf rayven mod

Hey guys hunter here today im showing you another work in progress blaster.
im modding the rayven.
the blaster will be having a 9 volt battery mod and a paintjob
the blaster might fail because i suck at electronic blasters

im thinking of doing an led mod maybe not  if you have any suggestions for a paint job leave them in the comments below

you can ask me to do any paintjob even if its pink because i like to be random sometimes so anyway guys until next time

happy hunting

Nerf stampede 18 volts (in progress)

Hey guys, Hunter here.
I haven't posted anything on this blog, so I'm just going to start my first post with a stampede that I haven't quite finished.

The stampede currently has a Nerf Jolt spring and has been cut down for distance. As the title suggests, I've also increased the voltage. The blaster may get a paint job, but I'm not to sure because I don't usually mod stampedes. I may also do an led mod in the future

Frost out...

Pump action singled LS.

I didn't like the feel of a Tee for priming my Longshot, so I decided to make a pump grip for the front. I plan to hook up a wye soon, so stay tuned. Pics below.

CRAIGSLIST TO THE MAX

Hey Guys it's Than,

I've gotten great luck on craigslist this past week and I have expanded my inventory of blasters 3 fold!

I have many more projects in the future and also a huge stock of blasters for commissions (anyone up for one?) I have made 2 videos reviewing my lots so be sure to check them out. if you have any questions on the blasters I have or any comments or ideas of what I should do with the blasters be sure to leave a comment on the video!

Here is the first video!

And here is the second!

Amazing projects are sure to be in my future! make sure you sub so you won't be left out of the fun!
BE YOU ALL JELLY NOW! just kidding

Longstrike Preview

So here is a little sneak peak on my Longstrike with UMB internals
I finished installing so ' Tacticool ' Led's and I have to say , They are BRIGHT. Here are some pictures

They are much brighter in real life.

Bright Lights

Ten Epic Points to whoever can translate the orange poster's title , you can see the LED's have been integrated quite cleanly.

Nerf at Costco 9/20/12

Throughout the year costco gets random Nerf shipments... the prices are very good. Pics below

Singled Longshot+Paintjob (Updated)

I spent the past hour singling this, I plan to add a hopper+slamfire eventually. Using slingshot darts, this hit 80' flat. I need a longer barrel I think, but I'm happy for now. More after the split.

UPDATE: I attached a legit rail piece to my sight, put in a white tooth on the tactical rail and enabled the gun to prime via the newly added jam door. I still need to figure out a better priming method though.

Have a broken blaster? Arctic Nerf wants it!

Have you attempted to modify a Praxis, only to find out that you don't know how to reassemble it? Do you have broken blasters that you just plan on throwing away? Instead of throwing the blaster away, why not donate it to Arctic Nerf's Blaster Recycling Program? We'll either pay you to ship it to us and then keep the blaster or you pay shipping (And a small fee) and we'll send it back once it's fixed. If you're interested, email IceCubed@ArcticNerf.com and I'll help you figure out if the blaster is worth saving, if it can be saved and which member of the Arctic Nerf team you should send it to. We look forward to hearing from you.

Hey Everyone!

Hey Guys its Than,

I do all basic mods to modern nerf blasters and I can also do Voltage mods to most blasters. I also can do paint jobs and specialize in LED circuits in nerf blasters. I do Commission so feel free to contact me about that

I live in South Berwick Maine. And I most commonly Nerf at an Airsoft Venue in Fremont, NH. (www.nhbofferfighting.com) I have plenty of Mod videos and also War Footage on my youtube channel. my user name is TheThanimal on youtube and I'm on Nerf Revolution as Thanimal.

please check out my Channel and feel free to ask me any questions about myself.  You have a good day.

RETALIATOR UNLEASHED!

Hey guys BlackBoarderV here ,
So I was browsing on the OMW website and looked at the unleashed section

What Do I see: RETALIATOR UNLEASHED! 


They seem to have the standard stuff:
Trigger Catch
2x double strength trigger catch spring
Useless Reinforcement Plate ( from observing the pictures)
5+kg mainspring

Also pre-order customers will receive a metal trigger.

It costs $12.99 to pre-order it, this is cheaper than other kits due to the fact that elite blasters cost more.

OMW claims 75 foot ranges flat and 85ft range with a 30 degree angle.

Estimated release date: 30th October 2012.

"Retaliator Stage 1 kit is nearing completion and will be available
for preorder later today, September 14. Our planned release date
for this kit is Tuesday, October 30, so mark your calendars! The
kit will consist of the standard Stage 1 kit parts: 5kg spring,
trigger catch, trigger catch spring and reinforcement plate.
Preorders will also include a complimentary metal trigger.
    Furthermore, as the price of the Elite series is increased compared
to the N-Strike series, we've decided to lower the price of the
Retaliator's Stage 1 kit to $12.99. We feel that this is a fair
compromise and we think you'll agree.

    If you wish to purchase a spring on its own, those will be
available for purchase next week for the price of $6.00.'

 Here is a post from their Facebook Page

' Promising results with Retaliator/Rampage springs so far. 95 to 105 FPS in the Retaliator, 90 to 100 in the Rampage. Curious results, though... there is really no appreciable difference that we saw to justify removing the air restrictors in these blasters. We didn't get a chance to test the Retaliator, but the Rampage performed nearly identically with and without the air restrictor in there. '

And here is the email they send out after I first found out about it

' 

    We just wanted to give you guys a heads-up that our upcoming
Retaliator Stage 1 kit is nearing completion and will be available
for preorder later today, September 14. Our planned release date
for this kit is Tuesday, October 30, so mark your calendars! The

Anyway, I've heard that people are cancelling their immortal kits, because of such a long wait , so will this ever come out, even with this October 30th Date?


Anyway heres a link to OMW http://www.OrangeModWorks.com/

Modding Fail

I was testing the penetration power of my Titan with a BB barrel, it turned into a test of the barrel's penetration. It was still kind of awesome though.

Modified Raider Pic Spam

Mobile blogger is a pain but convenient.

Ranges are around 35 - 45 feet.

Rayven Rebarrel and Wiring Experiment

Those of you who read SGNerf's posts have probably heard that when you get above a certain voltage with the Rayven, your darts start sticking in the barrel. This is a demonstration of how I fixed that issue so I could use my blaster at higher voltages. Later, we'll see a new way to wire your Flywheel guns to (hopefully) achieve better ranges.

Great Dart Swap. NUMBER 3!

Hey there, iMod is having another great dart swap

-------------------------------------

Anyway It seems to be good , and I BBV am taking part. It should be fun!.

Halloween Maverick

I know Halloween is almost 2 months away but I couldn't wait any longer to post this.





As you can see it is a cosmeticly (and internally) modded Gear Up Maverick.




I am happy to announce that the ranges of this blaster did not decrease after I individualized the barrels.





Ranges of this blaster are 35-45 feet flat.


Sorry if the the post seems choppy. This is my first post using mobile blogger. Frost out....
More pics after the jump.

Chatroll

Arctic Nerf now has a chatroll page! It can be accessed by clicking the link in the sidebar on the right. Note that Trolls will be banned and inappropriate content will not be tolerated. Beyond that, have fun. The chatbox is open to all types of discussion, be it Nerf, politics, gaming, whatever you guys want to talk about, we won't get mad at you if you start talking about off-topic stuff. Enjoy!

WHATUP PLAYAAASSS!

Hey guys it's the unicorn here, just letting you know that I'm now contributing on this blog. I'm not entirely sure what kind of things I'll be posting but you can expect to see stuff like this from me:

Unicorn out.

Painted Proton

A friend emailed me the other day asking about how to mod a Vortex Proton. She recently emailed me with this picture of her newly painted Proton! Thought you guys might want to see it. She also completed the standard spring relocation mod and should be getting about 75'. I'm not going to post a writeup for this mod for two reasons: 1. it can easily be found elsewhere and 2. I don't have a vortex gun so I can't add pictures. Check out modworks.blogspot.com for a writeup on the spring relocation mod.

Rogue/NF intergration

As you guys saw on youtube I have finished (not really) my HvZ NF which now has a BB Rogue mounted on it.

More after the jump....

UK modding materials part 1: Adhesives

Lo all. TheRoboteer here. And today i'm bringing you the first part of a little series which I hope will help budding UK modders find materials more easily. As UK modders will no doubt know, materials are pretty scarce in the UK so in this first part i'm going to be focusing on adhesives.

The article is after the split

Elite Sharpshot

This is a Sharpshot that I have modded and painted in Elite Colours. It was inspired by Bazookafied's Elite Longshot and Whiteout Sharpshot.  

More after the split
I used Revell Ultramarine Blue and White enamel paint for painting and detailing.
Mods done to the Sharpshot consist of AR removal, air hole covered up, seal improvement and spring replacement.
It gets ranges of 50-60ft.
It was my first paint job therefore the detailing isn't first class , and in the future I would like to get a thinner brush
I also plan to brass it in the future

BBV's Vulcan

Hey Guys BBV here and I will show you my Vulcan
It has been minimised, dart pegs taken out of the belt and the AR's taken out. It also has a reversible ( ghetto ) 12v mod. More pictures after the split.

Advanced Nerf Jolt Mod

I had a spare coupler sitting around so I decided to throw it onto my jolt so I could increase the rate of fire. Ranges increased slightly vs the original barrel without AR's, but it was a small increase. A full writeup of what I did sits after the split.

Pistol Splat: My Style

Lo all, It's TheRoboteer here. As you may know Arctic nerf and my native blog Nerf Universal recently merged. I recently posted this over there, so I figured I may aswell add it here too.
Anyway onto the post. When I was on holiday I gave in and bought a Blue Pistol Splat, and i'm pleased to report that it is almost 2x as powerful as my Wipeout Splat.
Anyway, I know what you really want to see are the pics, so here they are :)

Overall pic. With a photobomb from my new

favourite tool :)

 

The buissness end. I decieded to glue the barrel in because

i'm only going to be front loading darts because it's going to be a stock dart

secondary

FPS- supah leet view :)

 



Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this post. This is TheRoboteer, signing off

Ice³ Q&A

To finish the three part Arctic Nerf series, It's my turn for a Questions and answers section. Ask anything you want, Nerf related or not, and I'll try to answer your question. I look forward to answering your questions next month.

Coded darts...Internal differences

Hey guys it's Frost and today I am going over coded darts!

You may know about different code darts, but I found internal differences!

Code E (left) and Code K (right)

Another pic

Vid

Fully automatic blowgun

This just became my new primary. With a regular barrel, it's dead accurate out to 70'. Fill the barrel with darts for a shotgun blast that's sure to hit whatever you point it at. Slap on a wye and: tada! Fully automatic blowgun with high range and accuracy. Watch the demo below.

Q&a answers

Your answers!

Q&A! ~ Frost nerfer

Leave a GOOD question below. Questions will be answered August 21st.

15,000 Pageviews!! + small update

Arctic Nerf is proud to say that we have hit 15,000 pageviews!
Also I have some project going up shortly!

New Mods in the works!

Hey guys its Frost, and yes I am still alive and modding! Below is a list with pic of what I am working on... Pics and list after the jump. All Ranges are flat.

Rayven "Resistors" (Rayven, Part 2)

This is the second of a four part series detailing Rayven modifications. In this post, we will examine the so called "Resistors" in the Rayven and examine whether or not they are worth taking out.

We need your vote!

The Arctic Nerf team is considering altering the site's layout. Here's what we want you to do. Check out http://www.arcticnerf.com/view/sidebar and http://www.arcticnerf.com/view/classic. Then comment on this post and tell us which layout you like better (The current layout, the "classic" layout or the "Sidebar" layout) and why. Your input is very much appreciated.

Rayven Voltage Mod (Without soldering) (Rayven, Part 1)

This is the first of a four part series showcasing the Rayven. In this post, I will show you haw to increase your Rayven's voltage from 6v to 12v without soldering. This mod is for those of you who don't have all the tools needed for other mods, all this mod requires is a knife. Full write-up after the split.

New Elite Product

I was wandering around eBay today and stumbled across a cool new Elite product. It's called the Hail-Fire Upgrade kit. This kit gives you the four clips and 24 darts you need in order to fill up your Hail-Fire. This kit is also useful for those of us who want Elite darts, but can't afford a full Elite gun. I haven't seen this anywhere else so I can't give you guys a price on it, but it's still a cool product.

Minimized Vulcan

Vulcans are bulky, heavy, and hard to wield in CQB. This mod, inspired by Darth Rambo, aims to change that. This is more of a demo than a write-up, it was kinda complicated. More after the split.

"Ambidextrous" Raider Drum

If you have ever tried using a Raider dart drum in a pump-action Longshot, you will understand the usefulness of this mod which will let you use a raider drum backwards. More after the split.

*Edit* I just saw that SGNerf posted a similar tutorial on his site a day before I posted this. My mod is slightly different than his and I preformed it several days ago (The EXIF data on my pictures can prove that). This was an original mod that I came up with.

More Strongarm and firestrike news and rampage sheild?!?!?

What are your thoughts?

SlamFire revolver??

More info on the famous 1,225$ U.S Strongarm
SpectreX managed to get a pic of the back of the box off the seller!

Your eyes aren't deceiving you, it has slamfire.

War Tactics?

Hey guys Frost Nerfer here and I am alive(duh). Todays topic is the complete silliness of war tactics. Here are some examples

Of course there are some good ones..... when you get over the newb barrier, but hey we all start out that way.

Nerf Super Soaker Tornado Strike Review!

Hey Guys Frost_Nerfer here and today I will be reviewing the Nerf Super Soaker Tornado Strike.
