Yep, my boys have about a dozen n strike and are excited with the vortex. Every once in awhile we have a family blowout nerd battle with darts absolutely everywhere. The small discs I can see being much easier to loose. Hopefully they will sell the footlockers with discs.
I've actually painted many of them with the kids.

I picked up a Recon at Walmart for 15bux a couple weeks ago and now I have a Spectre, Kmart Exclusive 2 pack and an Alpha Trooper (which is bad ass btw).

It IS addictive, isn't it! Here's a hint; go to craigslist, u can get good working guns for CHEAP. I just bought a lot of 13 guns, clips, targets, etc... for only $100. A brand new Vulcan, Raider, Longshot, Alpha Trooper, etc....... Approx $200 bux os stuff for one bill!

nice army of darkness reference, OP.
i have these: 2x Mavericks Longshot- incredible gun. i bought an extra front gun/barrel extension for it and removed the pistol grip and trigger so that i now have a Longshot that looks like a heavy assault gun. Longstrike- another great sniper rifle. Raider- bought it mainly for the drum magazine i use on the Longshot. Recon- used as a pistol, SMG or carbine...all purpose fun. I enjoy the N-Strike line because of the interchangeable parts and accessories, allowing for customizing. it's like getting more guns than you paid for. Sometimes my friends use em for props in short movies they make. Nerf is just groovy.

I'm thinking of picking up the Longstrike and just sitting up on the roof on one of my days off and sniping my little brother as he gets home.

I have recently taken interest in nerf guns these days. Probably because I'm not looking for any Joes anymore.
I saw that Toys R Us markets their own line of air guns and they have licensed a couple with the official Humans vs. Zombies game. It was on clearance so I picked it up. Now I see videos on YouTube where people mod their guns to get more power and range. Doesn't seem all that hard to do. A typical mod will remove material that is designed to limit airflow. They also wrap teflon tape around the o-ring on the plunger that pushes air behind the dart to make a tighter seal. Sometimes people add in a stronger spring, but they usually need to reinforce the gun more to prevent cracking. I saw this one guy mod the streamlined darts by filling the head with hot glue and gluing a length of straw into the foam dart itself. This ads weight and stiffens it for a longer flight. This one modder guy likes the Target Exclusive Alpha Trooper and swears by it when he plays Humans vs. Zombies. I also saw a video that gave a sneak peak at the new N-strike Elite line. They are boasting 75ft range out of the box whereas the current N-Strike is around 20-25ft depending on the model. I'll bet they simply got rid of any airflow restricters and are using stiffer springs. Although not practical this looks pretty badass. I think the rotating barrel is just for fun and only the center shoots the darts. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index...ductId=3709792 Last edited by sharky; 06-26-2012 at 02:23 PM.. |

I have the Longstrike, Longshot, Raider, Recon, Alpha Trooper, Stampede, Barrel-Break, Maverick, and Barricade, as well as a bunch of the N-Strike accessories.
Been tempted by some of the TRU stuff. The "rails" on that are compatible with the N-Strike accessories, I think. |
