So, I expect there comes that day in some people's lives where they realize that they are unequivocally a nerd. Not just any nerd, but a really, really big nerd.

Today is my day. I've spent the last 6 odd hours working on a project, I'm just now realizing how hungry I am because I haven't eaten in more than 24 hours. I've finally finished it, stepped back, and thought,



"Jesus fuck, I'm a goddamn nerd."

did that Nerf vulcan cannon I heard about ever come out?

Marshmallow

Supposed to come out Fall '08 I believe.

PikaPuff

sniper pistol? what?

bad ass either way.

Belruel

Henroid

Gotta take careful aim at those targets that are 20 feet away!

OmegaTofuNinja

Holy shit nice!

Moe Fwacky

did he modify anything else or just add a sniper stand and scope? the thing could use a new paint job too

Marshmallow

Added the sniper stand and scope from a Longshot, removed the air restrictors and replaced them with the McDonald's straw modification to increase the range, (doesn't seem to do any better than just regular removal honestly), Reinforced the trigger mechanism with a second spring, added 5 pennies to the internal spring to compress it further, and cut the plastic tabs that stop the revolver turret from sliding out so as to make for easier reloading.

Scope is removable, but plans are in the works to move it further up the barrel for comfort reasons, and also to convert the current cocking mechanism from a pistol-style slide to a rifle-style bolt action.

EDIT: Paint job would be fantastic, I've never tried before but vent crew is currently approving of painting it in a gray and pink color scheme with a couple snoop dog and marijuana plant outline decals.

Captain Eleven

Yes.

Pata

Awesome.

What sort of distance do you get with the mods?

Marshmallow

Depends on the specific mods and how dedicated you are.

I've been getting around 50-60ft. with my Longshot, but I believe you can get up to 80-100ft. with some extensive work. (Replacing the barrel, adding more powerful springs, making your own darts.)
