Well, yesterday I went to my first nerf war, BAFF 4, absolutely amazing:
The Nerfers:
>Me: I realized that I'm pretty good at HvZ, and by the way, pistol splats rule!
>My Guest: He took a shot to the chest in 3 way CTF, but endured later on with the magstrike he got from flipoffacliff.
>Jman: He's friendly, dead accurate and an enduring Human in HvZ.
>Blue: This guy is devastating with a PETG'd SM15K,m and sold me my now beloved pistol splat and crazy 2K
>Just Some Bob: We made a great team during the start of HvZ, and went into CTF using a stock pistol splat.
>JakeJagan: He was great during CTF, and was devastating with a zombie raider.
>Flipoffacliff: With a gazillion guns, and a beefed out decimator, this guy made a tough CTF player.
The Guns:
>My Longshot: I used it during the start of CTF, It was nice, but I soon ran out of ammo, and had forgotten the spare clip my friend had given me, but again, I liked it a lot.
>My Disk Shot: With a micr accepting crayola, my disk shot was wildly inaccurate, I soon switched weapons after, I think I might rebarrel it.
>My guest's Magstrike: Modded by Flipoffacliff, my guest really did well in the later stages of CTF, and did great all through HvZ with this.
>Jman's Longshot: Holy crap, this thing was amazing, it had a pump action shotgun integrated into it! It was also dead accurate.
>Blues SM15K: This gun was very versatile, it was accurate, and had a mean rate of fire.
>Flipoffacliffs Ancient lupara thing: It didn't have a name, but it was CPVC'd, pump action, and fired to shots, I did amazingly with it during HvZ.
I had an amazing time, there's more to come though!

Nerfers, modders, and collectors
Okay, there are 3 kinds of nerfers I'll discuss:
Modders: These guys are the people constantly chugging out mods, tinkering, and generally not warring, they often can do pretty great things, but again, arent very active in using their guns.
Nerfers: These guys are very active in warring, and are prominent in the NIC. They might not always have the most amazing or ingenious mods, but are at the core of the hobby, doing it.
Collectors: These guys kinda annoy me, with a few exceptions, people who collect blasters to categorize them and log them for the NIC are great, but people who see that someone modded a supertech 9000 and bark at the modder, should just leave it be, I once thought it was a good idea to leave old guns stock, but look at the Supermaxx series! The worst of these people will just rant and yell about modded guns they don't own, or don't have any business in, but again, there are exceptions.

The airsoft rant
OK, I am absolutely fed up with 10 year old kids on youtube saying that airsoft is better than nerf, my points:
1. Why are they looking up nerf videos in the first place? Unless they have a secret passion for nerf and don't want to admit it, then they should just stick to things related to their sport.
2. A common point raised by Air-softers is "Nerf doesn't even hurt", two words: Singled titan, can your M4 replica draw blood? No? That's what I thought, moving on.
3. "Nerf guns shoot 2 feet" Your mini air-soft Semi-auto AK shoots 15, My modded longshot gets 50 feet flat. Also, a good air-soft pistol gets around 70 feet, a well modded nite-finder can get the same ranges, moving on.
4. Air-softers often compare stock nerf guns to their weapons, a modded nerf gun can easily get similar ranges to an air soft gun.
5. An Airsoft gun shoots a projectile that's slightly smaller than a pea, a nerf gun shoots a foam slug, you see where I'm going? An Airsoft springer would have trouble firing a nerf dart, and a nerf springer would be able to exceed the Airsoft guns original ranges with a BB with ease.
6. "Yeah, but us airsofter's can mod guns too" Really? A 14 year old is going to open up a 600$ Thompson replica? Good luck, I'm positive that people mod BB guns, but really, there's simply too much at stake.
7. Have we nerfers attacked airsofters? No! I'm just stating my points here, I'm not saying that airsoft sucks, I'm simply raising some points, if you like to play airsoft and can be responsible about it, please, be my guest and play your game.
8. But why not just play airsoft? We nerf because it's cheap, customizable, and requires a creative and skillful mindset.
Well, thats all folks, so let the nerfers nerf, and the airsofters airsoft, as long as there's no real conflict, we'll be fine.

Okay, I'm sure that you know what this is, the Long Strike! I read some reviews of it on TRU, and found one that was written by a Hasbro employee, he or she said that it used an internal setup that was different to the long-shots, but was "Designed to make this the best foam dart blaster on the market". Reverse plunger? Maybe not!
