    We had campus wide 24/7 assasin style nerf games once a semester at my university. Usually about fifty to sixty would sign up. I won one semester, it was basically the coolest thing ever.

    Wait, so is Bitcoins essentially MMORPG gold?

    No. It's a new alternative currency that can't be traced and cannot be broken down into smaller increments. There is no equivalent to the cent in Bitcoins.

    And I think one Bitcoin is like 30 bucks right now.

    Also Bitcoins are made by crunching some algorithm or something. It just sounds idiotic.

    lol no

    holy shit you can

    too bad regular money works for that too

    There was a report about this on npr. They went to a cop who had access to the site and tracked sellers and buyers. Basically they just said lol this is so easy to track, nerds are fucking retarded. Now we know everything about them and they digitally signed that they were purchasing and selling drugs

    Lol

    Lol

    also who knew the hedonist heroin user market would crossover with the internet libertarian one

    i mean, at a few points, but you'd think that wouldn't go past weed

    Really? You don't think Libertarians are ones to delve into harder drugs?

    PS the nitefinder is the most reliable in terms of distance and accuracy. Carry two with two secret shots in your coat pocket, and two backup nitefinders in shoulder holsters for real pro action. When you just need one hit to kill someone, you want distance, reliability, and accuracy. Noo ther gun will do, and the mod for it is super easy.

    Well specifically it was a matter of running around on campus with them. They didn't give a shit about anything in the dorms, but I can see people mistaking them for real guns, because people are often fucking stupid. Probably security got called out once or twice for the nerfs and they decided it wasn't worth the hassle.

    Nah, the maverick is cheap and popular but it is really prone to jamming.

    You would be better off getting a nitefinder or a recon.

    If your maverick jams more often than your recon you're doing something really wrong.

    my buddy in college got taken in by the campus police because he let another friend of his borrow his battery powered plastic airsoft and the other guy went around shooting random people

    the guy gave it back and booked it

    30 seconds later the cops come around the corner and tackled my friend, and they took him in to their department

    where he then made friends with them, taught them how to use the airsoft gun, and spent an hour watching them shoot each other


    we later found out that someone had called the cops from a window
    "there's a black guy on campus shooting people"
    and hung up

    Do you want to play to win or do you want to die looking cool?!?!

    Also, my team (you could always make teams with people you trusted, but it was winner take all, eventually you would have to break up and kill each other. ) always incorporated my own nerf dart invention. There is a yellow dart with blue tip sold from an off brand nerf gun. It is pretty hard to find as it is only regionally sold. This specific dart will fit into home depot copper pipe, which you can buy in 2 foot sections. This produces a nerf blowgun with power and accuracy roughly triple that of the most powerful non gas powered modded nerf gun. We slid them up the sleeves of our coats.

    We did not fuck around.

    dart doesn't clear the little end bit, the rest of the trigger pull sets up the next dart into place and the dart gets caught between the cylinder and the end of the gun.

    It really was, because they were troublesome to reload, so you didn't want to waste your shot. Also the darts were precious. I killed quite a few people though by nailing them from a distance they thought they were safe from.

    only if you've got a twitchy trigger finger. If you hold the trigger down, the chamber aligns with the barrel indefinitely, it's only on the release that it rotates.
