but if you want to indulge in some serious jack bauer action, i highly recommend buying that nerf nite finder gun. it's only like $5 or $6, it shoots nerf darts far and hard enough to hurt your friends, and it feels like a cool anti-terrorist gun (you know, if they came in blue and black and orange).
if people make fun of you for playing with a nerf gun, you have two options.
1. i looked online to see what other nerf guns exist, and within two minutes i had learned that people in this great nation of ours HAVE NERF GUNS WARS AND BATTLES AND BRAG ABOUT IT ONLINE. i'm assuming this is a "guy thing" among "guys" who don't have girlfriends but have lots of nerf guns. they also make their own ammo and their own special holsters for their nerf guns. that's cool, i guess. so you can be like "oh, yeah? at least i don't run around at night in the community park playing nerf war like some people i know!" and then leave it hanging there, so then it won't be clear who you're talking about and everyone will be like "who is it? who is the nerf gun loser person?"
2. pull the paraphrased jack handey "deep thoughts" reply where someone goes:
LOSER: hey, you're pathetic. you have a nerf gun!
YOU: that's right. it's a nerf gun.
LOSER: haw haw!
YOU: the nerf gun of justice.
LOSER: (totally awed and pwned) oh.
YOU: (shooting loser with high-speed nerf dart) boom!
that's all i've got. i just think it's cool to shoot at my walls or my dog (carefully and only to wing him, though. i love you, jordan!) and then flip over a random table and scream "you're wasting my time! who are you WORKING FOR!!!?"
kyle
jack bauer power hour!

I don't re-enact TV Shows...anymore.
Not after the Spaced Paintball incident. I don't think that poor accountants out of the facility yet...
Anyways, providing you equip your dog with heady padding and eye protecting goggles, you could do it with a BB-Gun. It adds more realism and the fact the bullets aren't real helps you stay a little more sane.

Not only do we make our own ammunition, but we also modify the internals of the gun, and replace the barrels. A gun like your nightfinder will shoot around 80 feet, when modified, aimed parallel to the ground, most of my rifles will shoot in upwards of 150 feet parallel to the ground. Now, I dont know where you looked, but I dont think you took into account this dramatic change in power. Most people dont make fun of paintballers, and their weapons only fire 150 ft (unless you have an a5 with flatline). My more powerful rifles will go past 200 ft aimed parallel. Nerf darts also dont shatter on impact, or burst, like a paintball, this means more of the energy is transfered into whatever you hit, which means they hurt like a bitch. I just wanted to give you something to think about, dont bother replying, because im not coming back. If you do feel like replying though, for the sake of everyone else on these boards, please clean up your posts.

I forgot to mention this in the post above (sorry for the double post-ing) but I do have a girlfriend, and I'd like you to stop stereotyping a group of people with a fun, legal, not perticularly out of the ordinary hobby. There are women who nerf.
Just because you're a moderator doesnt mean your god, it means that you are mearly a servent of god, as represented by the site admin(s). But no one cares about servents.
Ok, now you can not reply, because NOW im leaving.

Maybe it's because he was assassinated by Lee X Oswald?

Gah! I was ignoring this thread, oblivious to the hilarity contained therein!
Hehe. "Nerf".
To be fair, I'd say the Nerf gunplay probably IS cooler than the whole ren-faire "nerf swords" thing.

I gotta get me one of those nerf guns. Then I'll modify it myself--to fire shotgun shells. And when I'm out of shells? A timer and a stick of dynamite in the handle. Fire in the hole! Muahahaha.....

holy snikes! i am a moderator! when the hell did that happen? i'm so pleased! what can i do? i don't know.
meanwhile, it takes a big man to apologize when he has offended someone. i am not a big man.
people are really touchy, aren't they? you seemingly belittle one aspect of their lives and it's like you've offended him on a spiritual and personal level. this is why i don't bring up the election, 'cause damn!
wait until i send in my spider-man 2 review. people will fill the streets, crying and shooting their modified nerf gun into the air, wondering how someone can disagree with their personal opinion. while i'll be eating a blt off of the constitution, and i'll laugh and laugh . . .
hey, if i mail you my gun, angry nerf guy, can you modify it for me? that would be great, and what i was after anyway.

I would like you all to know, that many Nerfers in Fact do have girlfriends. And no, we're not little pansies. Yes, we. I'm one of them. Big time. denoffoam.tripod.com/ That is MY website. My NERF ONLY website. Those are real Nerf guns in the customs page. Those are real modifications on the mods page, with real pictures of real guns having those mods done to them. And the ranges and reseults are by no means abything but real. My primary, Winston, goes about 100-110 feet. Effortlessly. Read the first article on the Articles page. That wil explain how non-childlike Nerf is. And just for the record, I am a REAL guy, and I have a REAL girlfriend. And no, I'm not a little kid. I'm seventeen. Enjoy! Yours in Foam, Falcon Webmaster of The Den of Foam Freelancer/Sharpshooter - The Black Knights Nerfing since 1993 PS: Sign my guestbook if you check out the site. I'd like to know if I've changed anyone's opinion about Nerf. Thanks! |

Sorry, this line just cracked me up ;D Just thought I'd add this one final note: My girlfriend and Her best friend are both semi-active members of the Black Knights. Also, there is another female Nerfer who posts on NerfHQ.com regulary. You'd better not laugh at this one. She'll hunt you down and pump you full of foam.  She's in the Center of the Group She'll PWN you.  No questions asked.  Nerf Kicks ass.

I think I've finally figured out what to ask my wife for for Christmas...
And no, it's not an Xbox.

So... converting to Nerf is like switching over to Mormonism?
"Sir, can I interest you in an issue of the Nerftower?"
