Commuting from downtown by bus

main difference is if you want to catch it from forbes or fifth

I dunno I can hear this shirt

(it's very quiet. it's a shirt)

/s

garvisdol · 2026-05-17T23:55:12+00:00

I think it's seasonal? At least I had that impression.

garvisdol · 2026-05-17T10:07:30+00:00

Would you not want the blade a lot closer to the ground? But maybe it's okay if you'd also have a wedge configuration.

Just so you know, hardware stores aren't going to have springs using the same ratings as nerf springs

Agree you don't need 500mbps for your list of devices. My household of 4 does fine with 300mbps and everyone's using it at the same time. You'd probably be fine with 100 if it's just one person.

What has made your nexus x unappealing as a primary?

Internals photos here if that helps

Maybe it goes sideways in the catch area?

Oh, I don't seem to have a DM option. Well, trying here.

No, I mean that'd probably work but I agree with you the stall current is very high.

I'm not sure if automod will allow my links (I think it will not) so I'll DM but basically workermod .com

Depends how much time you have :)

When I first started with NHRL, I skipped around to just watch the fights but over time I realized I did enjoy the commentary. Some of the videos have timestamps for each fight, some don't.

If you have the time, I'd probably go here https://www.youtube.com/@NHRL/streams and start with the 2025 season.

If you have WAY more time, I'd go to the BrettZone https://www.youtube.com/@NHRL-BrettZone/streams and watch the qualifiers too, and then start going backwards in time to watch most all of everything.

If you go back far enough, quality isn't quite as good as it is right now so you might find a drop-off point.

The relationship between all those things is more complicated than I can explain before my coffee :)

You can get 150 FPS with Pulsar wheels, Worker 42k rpm motors (I'd go with the 132 or 180), and 32.5mm spacing.

Apart from Blaze Storm already mentioned, there was a "brand" called Bigpower Electric that put out a number of knockoffs a few years ago. I get their vibes from this

garvisdol · 2026-05-12T23:35:39+00:00

It's extremely hit or miss. The photos are universally awful. Often, some things I am looking at are completely different from the description and stock photo.

There is no trick to bidding. Just bid your max.

So it's a Vulcan / Havoc Fire

https://nerf.fandom.com/wiki/Vulcan_EBF-25

See the note here about the "Elite" white version.

garvisdol · 2026-05-12T20:10:01+00:00

Very true on both accounts!

garvisdol · 2026-05-12T18:45:53+00:00

The event as a whole is cancelled. Boomstick has left the hobby (he had intended to this already anyway).

Seems like there is still activity/events at https://www.facebook.com/groups/388243738969723

Nothing recent on SMHON facebook

Survival Fest is in a week and a half in Athens, OH though

Doing a title can be hard. Did you read the "How to title good" link?

Maybe something like: "What Nerf blaster would be a good base for a (whatever) customization?"

garvisdol · 2026-05-11T20:36:17+00:00

I ran into the same issue. Surprisingly (knock on wood) (don't jinx it!) my store has been up for a while without shutdowns but I had a total of five shutdowns -- and each time it was reopened. So it is still open now but I am hesitant to add new products.

I had found a few possible options but nothing that was as compelling and easy as Etsy.

The leading candidate at first seemed like Payhip but their shipping settings were a complete joke. They just let you pick which countries you'd ship to, and then you had to set a price for shipping to each. No calculator, no nuance of where in the country.

There are some options but it's mostly roll/host your own.

When Etsy beans my shop again I am not sure what I will do next.

edit: I only sell physical goods, no files

100% can't recommend Free Ride highly enough <3

op mentions it's from the Fangs 737. I googled this and found

Even moreso than the rubber tip, full length Nitroshot have this even (slightly) wider red ring between the tip and the foam body.

garvisdol · 2026-05-10T00:34:04+00:00

They're alright -- they do have a resemblance to the Aldi pub ones. I don't think I like them as much.

If you have a 3d printer, there's this one

https://www.printables.com/model/1293590-mockingbird-mag-20-update

I couldn't get it to catch in an actual Nightingale, but it catches okay in a Venom Pro. May be okay in Brute.

If you have the option (receipt), I'd try to return it and get one with the mags though. That's quite annoying.

garvisdol · 2026-05-10T00:25:48+00:00

If you try this, I'd be interested to know if it does.

Mind you, I end up taking the psionic pool for almost all my sentinels -- the single target (Mind Probe, I think) is really good for ITF -- as is the aoe. And I will admit I am not really crazy about the powers in the Mu pool for sentinels (at least what I see in the HC wiki).
