I just decided to join here today - a regular member on a forum for the 2nd time since late 2005. I am DX/Duxburian, virtually unheard of in the NIC, but ubiquitous in my other hobby. My reputation in Nerf is weakly established - 2 years of regular membership at NH with 146 posts. However, you should not judge a book by its cover - I have 5 active staff positions [11 lifetime] and roughly 6,200 combined quality posts [not counting additional hundreds that I wouldn't consider useful] in my other hobby. I never went through a true "noob" stage in either Nerf or water warfare, as acting in such a manner was unnecessary. I only own six or so Nerf guns, but have modded them all easily, as I am certainly no stranger to that. I generally don't mod for that much raw power, as I don't like the current focus on amazing guns. My preference is on fighting skill and ability, mainly team-based with none of the "lone wolf" fighting style that is so prevalent in modern organized Nerf wars. I tend to make longer posts rather than shorter, usually by accident since I'm used to it. The longest article I have ever written exceeded 16 printed pages, not including pictures. I am currently working on a pair of guides consisting of potentially thousands of pages, as well as five websites. I am just your average, everyday new member I guess...  |

Only six guns. Ha. Good to have you here nevertheless. If you are into "water warfare," then you should try converting a Super Soaker into a Nerf gun for kicks.

Only six guns. Ha. Quality over quantity - I don't even use half of them [the RF 20, Tek Ten, and Mav are weak]. As of right now, the LS, mega NF, and literally-being-modded-at-the-moment second NF are the only ones I need. If you are into "water warfare," then you should try converting a Super Soaker into a Nerf gun for kicks. Manufactured water guns are far too valuable for such a conversion. $60 for a Crossbow is a lot to a nerfer, but $60 for certain water guns is a great bargain. Homemades are where you do that. I have built a quite a few homemades with hybrid functionality. However, since homemades are banned at every Nerf war I have attended except my own local things, hybrid functions go unused. |

Good answer. What I was hoping for, actually. Still, I think a little variety couldn't hurt. Manufactured water guns are far too valuable for such a conversion. $60 for a Crossbow is a lot to a nerfer, but $60 for certain water guns is a great bargain. Homemades are where you do that. I have built a quite a few homemades with hybrid functionality. However, since homemades are banned at every Nerf war I have attended except my own local things, hybrid functions go unused.
I don't see how a commercial water gun for about $10-20 is too valuable to be converted, but then again it's up to the individual. Not like anyone wants to wreck a tricked-out CPS 21K. |

Thats what he is talking about. I think we are more talking the FlashFlood. Which wars have you been too? And if its a smaller war, I think homemades should be fine. And Alpha what are you talking about, you aren't even a mod.

What are you talking about? I did nothing to suggest I was a moderator. |

Just try not to try and act superior. But in doing what? Nothing I just did implies that I'm superior to anyone here. |

Cole he did nothing. Cool your jets....He did not impliy that he is superior. Besides no one is superior to anyone around here, we are all humans(that I know of) and none of us are better than the other.
A MOD or Admin's job is to keep the fourms at a balance, and to correct where correction can be made. You don't need to enforce everything. OK?
