new nerf blaster coming

Nerf just announced that they were going to release a new blaster. YAY!!! This is kinda sad though because news has been leaked of a new dart tag 10 shot mini swarmfire. you would think they would try to keep a tighter rap on stuff just saying. There was also a bumblebee barricade but I highly doubt that this will be the one released as nerf said new. the barricade has been around for some time and if it had transformers on it the price would be higher. so waiting till tomorrow to see what the have for us.
I'm looking for some people to help me out with the blog if you are interested in taking part let me know and leave a comment there really aren't requirements just be into nerf and post a comment every now and again.
peace out,

vortex blasters and stuff

Just got back from a nerf war and had a great time. I used the vigilon and it performed outstandingly. The discs that I painted didn't have to much wear just little scuffs here and there nothing to major. I still did manage lose some of the discs though they seemed to disappear almost mainly because the grass was high. I also got to play with the praxis a little bit its a sturdy gun and I like the clip. Its not huge and the discs are easy to load. A few things that I noticed was that the discs traveled much slower than darts. this allowed for them to be easily blocked by melee weapons which I took full advantage of.
This is something that bothered me when I bought my gun there was no refills for the ammo and it is fairly expensive when compared to dart.
someone tried to tell me that the vortex nitron is only semi-auto. To this I said no it is also full auto. he then said I researched it. I just left it go and thought where the hell does he get his intel. so to all those out there who think the nitron is only semi auto like the barricade it's not. here check the nerf website

it says fully automatic.
any ways
peace out and let me hear your thoughts on the vortex line,

green is a no go


the vigilon and five discs painted red.


here's a close up of the discs


I did a few quick range tests and the discs were getting identical ranges to the non-painted discs. I was also happy to easily find them as they stick out in the grass make sure to paint the underside of the discs as well. I will have durability of this stuff up after a nerf war tomorrow as well as the range test of this gun and the praxis
peace out

Yay vortex is here!!!

So today I went to walmart and picked up one of the new vortex blasters. I got the Vigilon that's the one that is the five shot pistol. it really is a six shot because after you cock the gun you can open up the mag and put another disc in. I wouldn't recomend 7 darts as it gets jammed easily. I will have a video up as soon as I get around to it. It might take awhile because its been raining like crazy and the ground is mush so once everything drys up I'll do some range test. some friends of mine also go the praxis so I'll review that to. I feel that the praxis and vigilon are the 2 most practical of the vortex blasters. Just one more thing why have a set release date and not follow it. I know the guns will be released officially Saturday, but I found them at walmart at it wasn't like it was hidden in some back corner and it was accidentally placed there. there was a giant display with posters and stuff.
well any ways
peace out and happy nerfing,

Humans VS Zombies how to guide

this is a how to guide for playing short games of humans vs zombies they will last any where from 15 minutes to an hour or 2.
there are many different ways to play HvZ but I am just going to give an overview of how to play.
1. Get alot of people a good starting number is around 10 to 15 people.
2 find a place to play parks are great but check to make if its ok certain townships frown on this sort of thing especially at night. A good place to play will have lots of places to hide and will be fairly large. I recommend that you do this on private property so that the police can't take action against you. make sure that you set the boundaries and that everyone who is playing knows where they are

3. types of gameplay. there are 2 major ways to play hvz. you can play out break there will be roughly 3 starting zombies or OZ(original Zombies) depending on how many people if there are a lot of people have more OZ's this game has a 15 minute time limit humans win if they can last that long zombies win by infecting all of the humans. basic rules zombies are stunned by socks darts and now discs for 30 seconds.the zombie will just stay where they are and count to 30 seconds. no being a d-bag and spawn camping the zombies and shooting them every 30 seconds. this is the basic rules for outbreak and is pretty simple but a ton of fun.

now lets go on to mission based game types. there are all sorts of missions that you can do. I'll start with a few of the things that are different than outbreak. first when the zombies are stunned they return to a base and wait to respawn 30 seconds to a minute. also everyone will have to have bandanas zombies wear them around thier head while humans wear them around their arm. this will allow for the distintion between humans and zombies.

missions there all sorts of missions that you could do here are just a few examples.

unlock the weapons depot
hold a predetermined specific location that will hold larger weapons and magizines
starting humans will only be allowed to have small weapons like mavericks and nitefinders. I allow the use of clips but only 6 round clips. after the given time about 10 minutes the humans can get the weapons in the weapons depot. this is a good starting mission.

secure the cure
hey that rhymes lol. this mission will break the humans into 3 groups as they try to hold an area that the cure is in this is similar to the first mission but is more difficult because it seperates the group

fortify the base
this mission is not based on time but rather objective based. have around five chairs or something similar around where you are playing humans then have to retrieve them in order to fortify thier base. this mission can either be really easy or a real pain in the ass depending on how good the zombies are and the humans you are working with.

this is just a quick brief of the many missions that you could do if you have any questions please ask me i will be more than happy to help.

peace out and happy zombie hunting,
