Picture taken for Charlotte.
Charlotte, the red one is the one that makes the sound :)
Anke has the same one but with the red and blue in the other way around (so blue body and red tail).
And Rik has a rocket football too, but with red and orange.
Will spent the last few days working on this quad track platform. He hasn't wired it up yet, so it remains to be seen if it can haul it's own weight around.
We placed my Nerf Vulcan on top for a good size comparison.
Blank Slate Coastal Cargos - love this pattern! inderlovesfolkart.blogspot.com/2013/07/how-nerf-guns-can-...
Bye Bye Bulky Stock! Yes, that is my snowmobile helmet. ;) Yup, another crappy webcam pic! I'm too lasy to take a quality one. =P
Some of the darts I use in my 'NERF' blowgun. These darts are made out of foam coil (often called foam backer rod or caulk saver), felt (a type of fabric), and plastic straws. The most significant reasons that I make my own darts, are that they are cheap, simple, and efficient for use in my blowgun. Below is a list of 'Pros and Cons'...
>Pros:
-Inexpensive. These darts cost me about a nickel apiece to make, whereas real 'NERF' darts cost at least forty cents apiece.
-Peformance (consistency, range, and accuracy) . Out of the last hundred or so darts I have made, all of them have had consistent results. As a result I am able to easily hit a person sized target from 20-30 feet away with my blowgun (I generally hit more often when I am closer, as the person will have less of a chance to dodge.) The max range of these darts, when I use them in my blowgun, is approximately 40 feet.
-No Spittle. Because of the felt tips on these darts (the black squares in the picture), any spittle from my previous blowgun shot is cleaned out with the next shot. As a result, the barrel of my blowgun is almost completely dry at all times (note that I do not intentionally spit into my blowgun.)
-Varying Colors. Although this is somewhat insignificant, being able to have different colored darts is convenient; particularly if you want to 'ID' darts (example: one person having red darts, the other blue) to avoid mixups. The felt used to make the dart tips comes in a large variety of colors, and as such there are a good number of choices.
>Cons:
-Limited Usability. These darts only work well in blowguns (at least out of the 'NERF' guns I have tested.) However, this isn't much of a con, because if your opponent (s) is/are not using blowgun (s), then you will be the only one that can use your ammo.
Spent a week in Stephenville this past June with my cousin and her two awesome kids. We had a day long Nerf battle with the boys and it was AMAZING!
This is her youngest, Charlie, shooting at me with his gun. (this one didn't actually shoot anything)
Two brothers settle their differences as all of us should: using harmless foam swords. Let the Nerf Wars begin!
NERF Barricade official release date in Australia is December 1st, NOT yesterday (the 15th November as had been hoped). This correlates with reports of it releasing by Black Friday in the US and adding in estimated shipping time.
