I have a hard life

I have seen a lot of people hating lately on the lack of posts lately, I can explain the lack of posts. Ice has been grounded and has no access to post. As for me I have a very complicated life at the moment, I'm in the progress of moving across the country and leaving my life behind. At first the moving stuff went smoothly and I expected to settle into my new life rather quickly, but fast forward 8 months and still working on moving. I haven't seem my father much because he is working across the country. My father and I were always close, I hoped that the move be over quickly and I would get to see my father again. But the move has damaged my relationship with him. And to add on top of that my school has taken a blow because I have so much on my mind, I could very well fail several subjects because of this. This adds to my worries in life, because this doesn't look good on a college application. The icing on the misery cake is that I have to leave a girl I really like. So what I'm getting at is make sure that you know the whole story before you jump to conclusions because you will never know the whole story. So stop with all the hate unless you want to put yourself in my shoes, and let me tell you, these are shoes you don't want to be in.

WIP's

Hey guys it's Dylan or my new name frost_nerfer, today I am giving you guys an update about my WIP blasters. As some of you may know my maxshot is my current primary for NIC wars, well, lets just say its time to change :). Last black Friday I was at target and I was looking at the Maniac/Berserker (ugly) and I was so close to getting one when I decided not to. Turns out that when I went to the mall toy store called Toyzam they also had they berserker but, it was the old stlye and was not horrendous to look at, so I picked it up. When I went home and got a chance to play with I saw how fun it really was. Until yesterday I had lost intrest in it because I lost the darts.

So mods I plan on doing are adding 1/2 inch cpvc barrels to the turret and couplering the middle blaster.

I hope to get 60 ft out of the turrets and 100ft out of the 4B

Youtube hates me!

For some weird reason Youtube won't allow me to upload my videos I have made the one video that is uploading is taking forever, But I am glad to report that I have obtained a nicer web camera, so quality will improve but not in these videos. I also found some nice video editing software that will allow me to make far better videos.

Until next time stay cool

Do you want a free modded NF and some darts?

Well then, go follow Pacific Nerf. He is only going to give it away if he gets 50 followers by the end of the month. He is currently at 30 I believe, so time to get following.

Recon Pistol

The whole reason I made this is because my magwell got screwed up when I tried to put a laser tag blaster into it. it didn't work out as I had hope but it led me to make a Recon pistol. I kept the hole in the bottom to allow for easier loading. This currently can vacuum load. due to the white lithium grease in the plunger tube. The dart in the video didn't vacuum load because it is an older dart. If you have a newer dart it will vacuum load.

Back home and modding!

Free commission!! and more news

If you didn't notice the poll on the side of the blog, then you should know that the poll was asking when you would like a free commission. The options were at 10,000 views and at 20 followers. The results showed that you want it at 20 followers, since we are currently 11 followers we need your help. 

If you want this free commission then spread the word about this blog. The more followers we get the more free commissions we give out! I know that the production of this blog has gone down, but I am working on TONS of Nerf stuff so there should be more posts soon.

Also in a past post I said my radioactive longhsot would have a cpvc breech, but I changed my mind and decided to just put a stub of brass in the existing breech However I will be putting a cpvc breech in my Halo Longhsot once I start on it. I plan on it being more of a sniper rifle than a battle rifle as it will feature a prototype cpvc breech that Ice has come up with.                    

Until next time stay cool-Icicle

Speedload 6 review

First off, I want to say sorry to Ice for posting a water gun review, I did not know better. :)

Today we are looking at nerf dart tag speedload 6. This blaster utilizes the integrated clip system that the 2011 dart tag uses.

This blaster also has slam-fire. I have heard that this blaster has the slowest slam fire of all the blasters but, I found that not to be true Ranges are anywhere from 25 - 32 feet here in Hawaii and 30 - 37 back at home in San Diego.
Modding potential includes, improving the seal, OMW spring replacement and removing the AR's.

This blaster also has a small jam door on the side to help remove a jam.

My longshot had a nuclear meltdown!

So I have been working on my longshot for over 2 months, when something crazy happened. I found the greatest looking paint ever! It is made by krylon and looks epic. I was hoping this was a different color than it was, but it worked out better than I hoped. Of course there is a down side to all of this. Only one side is done. So I still need to work on the other half but this turned out so well that I had to show this off. I used an enamel paint set to touch up little spots I missed. I cut off the front bipod because I thought it looks better without it. The stock has an identical paint job done too it. All the other parts are still getting painted so they will be awhile as well. Overall I love this blaster so much this I hope will be a NIC quality blaster when I'm done with it. I hope to give it a CPVC breech as well as a k26 spring. So this should pack some punch.

Look out for a halo style longshot after I'm done with this one.

Elite

I'm assuming most of you already know what the "Elite" series is. Here's my take on it. If it does hit 75 feet:

1. That range has to be angled, Hasbro is stupid, they typically measure angled ranges.

2. Looking at the guns size, they use the same plunger system. Thus, the AR must be removed or the prongs that the darts hit must be longer. There also would have to be a more powerful spring. This means that us modders would have very little to do to these guns.

3. These guns will also be more expensive for sure. It probably won't be worth it.

4. If the AR is modified, the plastics will need to be more durable, thus OMW probably can't make kits for these guns because the ranges are already top notch and the plastic will already be more durable.

Honestly, these guns look cooler. But that's the only benefit. Keep in mind that we don't even know if these guns are real yet, but it could be the "Big News" Hasbro was talking about on their Facebook page.

I've been grounded for the past month, but I'll be back soon with posts like:

A pump action, CPVC'd Longshot with at least 100' ranges

A clip system Barricade

An attempt at a Praxis mod

and 

A Drop Clip Barricade.
