I'M BACK!+ Nerf N- Strike Elite firing tests + S.L.A.N.G. War!

As said in the title, I'm back! I've been busy with the last few weeks of school. I have two more days this week, but there are no more tests/ assignments, so I'm pretty much free, and will be posting on a more regular basis.
On another note, UrbanTaggers found videos of N- Strike Elite firing tests! Here is the post.
Also, yesterday I went to my first S.L.A.N.G. (Salt Lake Area Nerf Geeks) war. It was only three of us (Shmmee, another guy, and I), but we had a blast! We should have more people for next month's war though. If you live near Salt Lake City, Utah, come check it out! We would love to have more people and expand our group. Here is the thread for yesterday's war, and stay on the lookout for the next one! I can't wait for next month's war!

Nerf N-Strike Elite Rampage is direct plunger!

To the delight of modders everywhere... THE N-STRIKE ELITE BLASTERS HAVE DIRECT PLUNGERS! Here is the link to SG Nerf's post. http://www.modworks.blogspot.com/2012/05/nerf-elite-rampage-internals-quick.html (All credit to SG Nerf for the pic)


I know in my past posts I said I wouldn't be purchasing hasbro products very much anymore. After seeing that Hasbro's marketing team did send UT his pinpoint sights, I realize that what they did wasn't as bad as we thought (as it was a coincidence with the marketing team and the lawyers.) I am still a little sore with hasbro, but I will be posting reviews again as well. I don't like that they are just recycling old designs, but I will still buy these because of how moddable a direct plunger blaster is.

Nerf Supermaxx 1500 Review!

My Dad found a Vintage Nerf Supermaxx 1500 at the thrift store recently (thanks dad! :D), and since I already have one modded, that I would keep this one stock now that I have some Supermaxx darts. (they were with the vintage SM3k that my grandparents gave me (link here)). It gets 20- 25 feet flat, and 30-40 with an angled shot. (darts are wrapped in tape to fix the previously nonexistent barrel fit because of how old they are) The OPRV (over pressure release valve) kicks in at 2-4 pumps.
Here is a pic:
I've gotten a few projects done and documented so I will be posting them over the next couple weeks!

S.L.A.N.G. (Salt Lake Area Nerf Geeks) May war!

I just recently found this group of SLC nerfers! From who I've talked to, they seem to be really nice guys and I can't wait to see them at the war on May 26th! We need more participants, so if you're in the SLC area, come check it out! (I'm really exited for my first war!) Here is the war thread: http://www.nerfrevolution.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4794&p=55297#p55297

I've been busy lately, so I'll be lacking posts for the next few weeks. I am working on nerf related stuff however, and I will write up the posts when I get the time. Just trying to hang in there untill school is out!

Updates

Sorry for the lack of posts once again, It's the final push at the end of the school year and I've been busy with other things. Today I should get a few Nerf- related things done, and I'll post those throughout this next week. I'll be working on making some of iamthatcat's pool noodle blanks (his nerfrevolution thread here and his blog here). I'll also be reviewing a stock Nerf Supermaxx 1500 that I found at a thrift store, and I'm working on making some 3DBBQ darts that Manta told me about. (NH post here).
