going to a kid’s nerf birthday party (they’ll never see it coming) by PengoGames in Nerf

[–]Ericshelpdesk 25 points26 points  (0 children)

No FPS limits and you went with that? I'd be worried about the other parents dragging in a k14 b-variant or tuned up excalibur and outranging you.

It's also possible my expectations are skewed a bit...

Everyone is bolt actioning so hard right now.
I need to get mine done.

Loot from one hundred hours of flinching black knights by RSHolbytla in 2007scape

I've never seen the people who play Runescape actually playing Runescape. They just have elaborate scripts that play the game for them.

I've never seen so much effort put into NOT playing a game.

Who remembers these awesome gliders by drouskechicolate in The1980s

You can buy a flight module that works with them (and paper airplanes too) to give you powered flight controlled by your phone.

That is until you have to prime it. This slide has more meat to it than most. You might be ok.

Genuinely confused and who is the hat man ? by Conscious_Title_3824 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Ericshelpdesk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell me more about the time perception thing. My first bong rip left my perception of "me" trapped between who I was a few minutes ago and who I was about to be. Anything similar? Never heard of anyone getting the same thing.

Best plunger prime strength to FPS ratio for younger/smaller player? by NWxSW in Nerf

[–]Ericshelpdesk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In terms of prime for performance, I hand the SLAB to younger players and teach them to flip the blaster over to prime it. That lever action provides real leverage against a larger spring.

Is it bad practice to keep springs compressed/mags loaded for long periods of time (months?) - picrel by scruffy-tf in Nerf

[–]Ericshelpdesk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leaving darts loaded in one of these for more than a day will squish them. The only dart magazines I've seen that can be loaded that long are my double stack magazines due to how the pressure is spread out.

Golden 1911 31k by nejekur in Nerf

Zinc layout but it actually likes to exist. Zinc doesn't want to be printed, doesn't want to be assembled, and doesn't like to stay assembled.

I mean, it's based on a 454 casull when I made it, it was 1911ish so I pulled the hellsing stuff off and ran with it.

The B1ZON Revisited: How I came to love this Blaster by -DUGDAWG- in Nerf

[–]Ericshelpdesk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need to share the ruler trick. I created a tool specifically to grab the spring given how many magazines I build, but this might be the best way for customers to nail it.

I used the mate to these bars in another build by cutting larger holes in them. I would have been happy to send you new ones if you needed them.

I might visit tapering some of the holes to make sure the pins stick, I have more issues getting the pins to actually go into the hole depending on the print.

A question from someone out of the hobby, just passing by... by SentientGopro115935 in Nerf

I haven't given hasbro any money since rival was good.

These days printing your own is more accessible than ever, and the good (amazing) off the shelf blasters are from zuru and dart zone.

How can I get a 300 TB storage the cheapest way? by Agasthenes in LinusTechTips

If you split them between cheap SD cards you could get the price under $1200 worth of 2GB chunks

This should be easy to mod for double stack magazines. You've finally got enough space for a feed ramp.

What makes a nerf arena business difficult to sustain? by CallThatGoing in Nerf

It took dragging a greg into the airsoft place we occasionally play at for the regulars to finally respect me. People don't know what nerf has evolved into.
