Finally get my Longshot, after get it.... no dare to mod my nerf gun again .... scare broke only

Have Fun is important

Eh bro's do you know tropicana city mall? their TRU got alot nerf staff, event u can find ... what name of gun already ah, glow in dark that 1...

Hi, do u know where i can find a rapid fire 20 / wild fire 20?

it's ok i guess. but i'm staying with my point that the pole actually helps with accuracy, so i prefer them intact.
how's the progress now?
my reason for not owning a vulcan: 6 D batts? <-- not very cost efficient.

Hi nugget1123, just a quick check on Jusco JB TRU stock... did you see the Recon Magazine Pack, Tactical Scope Pack and Tactical Light Pack in stock there too?

These are what they look like:

 

Thanks!

Guys this is highly recommended if you have some gut and work in an Office.

Bring 2 nerf guns to office. One Big one, and another single shot (or small) sidearm.

1) Disassemble/Unload the big one and conceal. (Disassembly/unloading not necessary, the big idea was just to give them a sense of dread while you prepped a scarier looking weapon).
2) Leave the sidearm loaded but not cocked next to you and work as usual. Put one or two spare darts nearby if you feel generous.
3) Wait for someone to come by and get tempted to try it out.
4) Teach them how to use it.
5) If they aim or shoot at you, bring out the other one.
6) Watch as co-worker panics.
Guns that will absolutely terrify your prey:
Rapid Fire - You may as well preload, prepump it and just bring the gun out in slow motion. Pre-pumping it depends on if you actually plan on firing it or not.
Longshot - Preload clip with ammo, but not in the longshot. May as well keep everything preassembled.
Recon - Preload clip with ammo, but not in the recon. Assemble the whole damn thing in front of them.
Vulcan - Whatever blunder you do with this thing, the sight of the Vulcan will still scare two shits out of anyone who just shot/aimed at you, so it doesn't matter. Bringing this to office is an entirely different story as well...

These tricks work more on people who have never seen larger dart guns before.
I've basically sent 3 separate people running to the opposite side of the office just assembling a Recon.

Where's USJ? I don't live anywhere near a TRU store so im quite dependent on forums before i make my trip down. How do i get to TRU subang parade from JB? How much for taxi from JB?

Yup, i know what you mean, a few of my magstrike clips also slide back down after firing, but i also have a few which can stay in position properly... so i guess its probably a cause of manufacturing variations between the different production batches (i've measured all my magstrike clips to compare and their widths could differ by as much as 2-3 mm).

Luckly its easy to solve, simply stick a few layers of duct tape/rubber tape along the side of your Magstrike clip, this will provide enough friction to keep the clip in position when firing in bursts, i've done it and it works. Here is a photo of how its done by Forsaken_angel24 at Nerfhaven:

Yeah, I'd be keen to get the new Yellow N-Strike Magstrikes and Rapid Fire 20s, if its in stock i'd probably make a trip up to get them.

Heys, let me know when the stocks come in? I called TRU Jusco about 2-3 weeks back and the manager told me that Hasbro isn't bringing in anymore Rapid Fire 20s... =\

U confirm that they told u that they're bringing the Rapid Fires in? I don't mind the N-strike Mags too =D

Let me know when u're going yea? i might just clear the Rapid Fire stocks there =P

There's a few versions of the magstrike. I think there's a model before the Ironman series but i have never seen them around in malaysia or singapore. I heard that there were some issues (air leaks etc) with it and it was replaced by the updated Ironman version fixing some of the issues. But Ironman version also has some problems such as the clip dropping problem i mentioned earlier (hence the mod above). Finally, the N-strike Magstrike is supposed to have all the problems fixed - so that's probably the best magstrike to buy if u see it =D

There's no 20 round magstrike - that's why i still like my Rapid Fire =D I think it is possible to mod the gun to hold a 20 round clip but from what i noticed - it would require a lot of modding - i think making the extended clip is somewhat easy - the problem maybe modding the gun itself to hold the clip. I haven't checked forums if they have done that yet though. Maybe there's a solution out there already =D

You might want to check your spring mechanism - it sounds like the spring isn't able to fully 'force the air' out - there might be a leak somewhere. The rough handling might have caused a crack somewhere around the plunger area? But this is my novice's advice - i have no clue on the exact mechanisms of the recon. I seriously doubt its the fault of the oil though. Sorry cant be of more help.

Maybe the rest of the forum guys might know better =D

I wonder when will they bring in the Transparent Exclusive Maverick...

it's ok i guess. but i'm staying with my point that the pole actually helps with accuracy, so i prefer them intact.

Finished firing a full salvo of my nerf arsenal. that's maverick with 36 microdarts and longshot with 22 streamlines(4 clips).

i must say i prefer firing the micro darts. at around 20feet from target, the streamlines were bouncing and flying all over the place. picking them up was a real pain. the microdarts just stick and fall.

i really can't imagine firing with a vulcan .

Thanks SGNerf, the BBB was a red one. Tempted to buy, but lack of funds these days, ended up with a Krylon Camo Paintcan lol.

Afoxisko, thanks for the update. The Secret Strike is not the most powerful lol, the Secret Strike is the small pocket 1 right? The Nitefinder is the most powerful.

UPDATE! YELLOW LONGSHOT SPOTTED IN TRU MIDVALLEY! RM149.90 lol

Which dart holder are you referring to?

zeroglyph, did you post any about that O-rings at here ? Can share about it ah

no i haven't. i'll post some pic when i'm not too lazy. 
i had a crack at the same place (curse my mighty strength ). i just superglued it back. it didn't break though.

the echoing? damn i hate those. i always ensure my guns don't have those. perhaps, i'll post some tips later. in your case i think it's because of the broken plastic though(since nothing is holding the spring) .
