I survive a day longer than the previous semester. This time I've made it past Wednesday (which was sock day!), and I'm going to start using the Pyragon tomorrow. I look forward to the mission, because I missed the first one on Tuesday due to a chemistry exam. I imagine it's going to be a bit more difficult, though, and I'll probably get zedded judging solely from the current trend.

Ordered a couple of Roughcuts on Tuesday (a friend and I pooled our orders) and they arrived today. I made a quick back sheath for mine, and plan to improve it later, but already it works decently. The blaster itself is excellent. It shoots everything but normal streamline darts, and the prime is nice, smooth, and easy. It's hard to slam fire it quickly, though, because of how the pump handle is set up. Ranges look impressive, and the way it functions is just all-around fun. Would recommend. Same friend took Maverick and integrated it into his Longshot (then painted it black, red, and gold, named "Jericho" due to the Iron Man color scheme), so I had him help me integrate one of my Mavs into the Retaliator barrel extension that I never use (Longstrike barrel ftw). He didn't have enough putty at the time, so it's just a quick job so far (actually, the Maverick fell off, since the putty didn't have a good enough grip). I plan on making it better, then painting the Mav blue with the obligatory white highlights. He also had a broken Vulcan bolt, so I took one of the plastic handles of that and hot glued in onto the slide of my Retaliator so I could top-mount rail accessories while still being able to prime it. It actually makes it a heck of a lot easier to prime in general. (I did this one a while ago, actually, but I feel inclined to include all the big mods I've done so far.) tl;dr: Retaliator is great for modding, every arsenal should include a Roughcut

Luckily I received my order of 75 NERF N-STRIKE ELITE DARTS today. So now my Retaliator will never run out.

Acquired. With three belts, and another double-length belt soon to be in my possession.

It gets very bad ranges. AND THIS IS ME NOT CARING

Traded some spare darts I had for this attachment. It's terrible as a sight, since it's so simple, and because sights on Nerf blasters are useless anyway. However, the plan is to remove the folding part (which is extremely easy) and attach a bright flashlight to it instead, so I can have a detachable light for pretty much any of my blasters. Because the actual light attachments are rather terrible as well, at least from what I've heard and remember. I don't have a flashlight yet, but in the meantime it's fun being all "tacti-cool" with it. I'm also waiting on another person who's going to sell me a Longstrike barrel and Stampede bopod, so my Retaliator plans may eventually come to fruition (but until I get one, they're gonna go on my Rayven).

holy cow my raider actually shoots now awesome -
Step 1: Buy N-Strike Elite Retaliator Step 2: Find some people who will sell me a blue Longstrike CS-6 barrel and Stampede ECS bipod. Step 3: SNIPA RIFO Step 4 (optional): Buy N-Strike Elite Hail-Fire Upgrade Kit (because Hasbro is too cash-hungry to sell the Hail-Fire with all darts and clips included) and get an extra 4 clips and 24 N-Strike Elite Darts

So has anyone else played it before, and what were your experiences?(press enter"hooray your topic has been posted"AUGH ABANDON SHIPhang on this post isn't done yet)(OKAY I think we're good now)So Humans vs. Zombies is like this giant game of tag played on college campuses and other such places. For about a week, usually, two teams (humans and zombies) run around trying to catch or avoid each other.The humans get to use Nerf guns and socks to defend themselves against the zombies. If they hit one, the zombie is stunned for ~15 minutes. If they get tagged by a zombie, they become a zombie for the rest of the game.It starts out with one or two "alpha zombies", but soon enough a bunch of humans get tagged and the zombie team steadily grows as the human team shrinks.The game ends when all the humans become zombies or all the zombies are "dead" (a zombie must tag someone every 48 hours or they "starve" and are out of the game completely).Rule variations abound, but that's the general sense of it.I've played one game so far, last semester, and this semester's game starts on Monday (oh god oh man).I kind of failed last time because I missed some of the opening meeting and I didn't know the alpha zombies would be unmarked for the first hour (humans wear yellow caution tape bands, zombies wear red caution tape bands). So I was zombified within the first hour of play and spent the remaining week chasing after people. It was embarrassing but it was oh so fun.I even joined a large group in staking out one of the dining facilities' late-night meals, and it was awesome.

So I won a $50 WalMart card in a raffle, so I used it to buy a Rayven and Vortex Proton. The Rayven is cool and shoots pretty well. I like the glowing darts a lot. Good to finally have a semi-automatic blaster. It's absurd with the 35-drum attached I bought the Proton because I wanted to see what the Vortex blasters were like, and it's the smallest and cheapest. It didn't disappoint. I haven't been able to test the supposed 60-foot range, but from what I've seen from firing it indoors I don't doubt it. (e: after a quick range test outside, I can say that yeah it can definitely reach 60 ft., the only problem being that the discs are a bit slow) It's wider and more boxy than dart guns, but it's no bigger than a Maverick (and it's a bit shorter). I like the way it loads, too, even if it isn't the fastest way of doing it. Also it's snowing, what the heck.

Thinking Of Painting My Nerf Guns
Bfahome posted a blog entry in You're attacked by a Repair Nektann
If I do I'm painting my Raider light yellow with pink accents, my Alpha Trooper light blue with rainbow accents, and a new Maverick pink with darker pink accents (the one I currently have is a Whiteout and I don't want to paint it). I will name them Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie. I'd leave the internals and ammo clips unpainted, though. e: And only now do I realize how April fools-ish this sounds. I actually mean it. HvZ needs more ponies. -
Some guy was selling a Raider for $20, drum and stock included. I bought it. The drum is big. And now I have a stock for my Alpha Trooper. I'm still a zombie, but I like it anyway.

This is my drawer of guns. The lime one doesn't work at all. One of the Secret Strikes is broken. This is my drawer of ammo. 18 expendable streamline darts and 130 fresh darts in the ammo box. And I'm missing one tagger dart.
-
Finally got the stuff I ordered. So now I have a Nerf Flip Clip, ammo box, and 130 more streamline darts. I also bought a couple of LEGO orders online. Some PaB pieces for Evo to armor him up a bit, and a set of 20 Visorak minifigures (they are so cool). So now my Nerf drawer is a bit more impressive, Evo is a bit bulkier (and has back armor), and there are 20 tiny spiders glaring at me from my shelf.

Pretty good gun. I haven't had any major jams in the time I've messed around with it. Everything seems smooth. Sometimes the slam handle can get stuck but you just have to repeat the priming motion to fix it. The spring is kinda noisy. It vibrates or something when a dart is fired. Slam firing is pretty good. Seems to shoot the darts just as fast if not faster than the single-shot mode. However, it does mean that you have to be holding the slam handle in the forward position for it to shoot, because if you let it go it'll slide back like a millimeter and the trigger won't work. Definitely not a one-handed gun, but its size would probably clue you in on that anyway. The 18-dart drum is nice. Gets a bit tight when it's near capacity, though. But other than that it'd make a great clip substitute, since it isn't as big as the 35-dart drum. Some of my darts are already nicked on the back end, so I hope they last until I get back to school and pick up the dart packs I ordered. Overall it's a decent gun with a great firing rate, and it'll definitely be seeing some use.

SO. For the next semester's game of HvZ I want to prepare early. Like early early. So I was thinking in addition to the Maverick and Secret Strike (and other, defective Secret Strike) that I bought for last semester's, and the Magstrike and ancient yet still functional single-shot gun I had at home (but didn't bring), I'd get another gun. One with controlled rapid fire. Originally I was thinking a Raider, because hello 35-dart capacity. But then I read through the reviews and switched my preference to the Alpha Trooper, because it supposedly gets better range and it's about $15 cheaper. It has less than half the capacity, though, so I was thinking of getting the Flip Clip refill pack, which would then give me two six-dart clips and an additional 30 darts. But then I was thinking hey, if I'm getting a bunch of streamline darts, might as well go all-out and replace all my suction and tagger darts with them, so maybe I'll buy that 100-dart pack. So in total that'd be about $55 worth of Nerf, which I'm not sure I want to spend. I was thinking about cutting out either the Flip Clip pack or the 100-dart pack, but I'd like to have the extra clips when I'm on the move, and I'd also like to have plenty of darts so I don't have to worry too much about losing them. There are spare 18-dart drums available, but they only come with the necessary 18 darts and they're $5 more than the Flip Clip pack. So, Nerf fans, what should I choose? All three? Pick two? Ditch them all and go for just sock flails?
