    A modded nitefinder is a must. Its a must for close combat and modding it for distance gives you better accuracy from it finally shooting straight.

    I find mavs have too many firing problems from rapid fire so I carry two modded nfs for sides and a longshot as my primary.

    If you can find a magstrike (now the stark industries NRF) you can easily mod it so it can whip through two clips with a single fill of the air chamber with decent range withing a few seconds. Its also automatic and cleans house up close.

    I love that there are people who will seriously discuss the viability of various nerf guns using terms like close combat and modding like a real styrofoam soldier

    That said I wish I still had my awesome nerf bow

    I really should start modding my stuff. I have a trunk full of different guns.

    I really wish someone would come out with a good semiautomatic gun. Something that actually had some distance

    When you are being chased by four russians through a warehouse, foam darts flying everywhere, you'll know what I mean

    Buzzbee makes a full auto Thompson

    No idea how good it is

    And there were those spider-man wrist ones that loaded three darts and you had to pump up and you could either fire them all at once or one at a time

    Those were fun

    It's semi auto-matic actually, The trigger actually rotates the clip and it's fired by two little wheels that spin around kind of like the auto baseball picters.

    It's ok, you can dump alot of rounds quickly but it is by no means accurate at all.

    My roommate made me promise not to shoot him anymore with my longshot because it left welts on him.

    The first time he ever saw my LS was when he walked through the door to the apartment and took one in the neck. I bought it along with a stiffer spring from the hardware store, cut out the regulator and then weighted the darts. The stiffer spring also made it sound a hell of a lot meaner.

    I used to snipe my friends from my 2nd story window as they walked to the building. God I miss that apartment.

    I didn't reinforce the catch on mine, so it ended up becoming a useless hunk of plastic

    But I would routinely use it for crowd control in my dorm because if anyone heard you had ordered pizza there would be a vulture swarm

    That's brilliant.

    If you want to give it a stiffer trigger there is actually a spring underneath the catch that you can make stiffer. I snagged one from the hardware store, cut it to size and voila. No more misfires, at least on mine. I assume if you use too stiff of a spring it could actually break the plastic.

    Tofu helped me mod it the first time but did not know how to make me not break it

    Probably not a bad thing that it happened

    It was only a matter of time before I modded thumbtac-tipped rounds

    Man, they didn't do what they did because they could.
    They did it because a magic loom told them to by hiding messages in binary in the fabric.

    My Roommate's friend is fascinated by the arsenal I brought with me to college. Last night, he picked up the maverick and started shooting my roommate with it. I just turned around whipped out the Vulcan and put him in the corner with 50 rounds.

    About 2 to 3 a second.

    The box claims it gets 3 rounds a second with fresh batteries but I don't think it's that consistent.

    Picked up the Vulcan today

    Only thing I have to say is I don't like either the box or that weird handle you were supposed to put on top

    They get in my way when I try and use it

    The box could be fixed by being on the other side and having the whole mechanism reversed

    But I was disappointed at how difficult that handle was to take off the top. I got it, in the end, but stupid shit like that should really be removable.

    So are there any necessary mods for this mean motherfucker?
