Jake: Painted Nerf Praxis



Here are some more blasters that my buddy Jake painted.  They are also both modded.  The white and black one is his and the red and black one is his son's.  Both blasters were sand blasted and then painted.  


For this blaster, Jake was going for a snow camo look.  He used a white base coat and then used black hobby paint to do the tree branches.  He finished the whole thing with a clear coat to protect it from scratches.





For this blaster, they put a black base coat down and then did a layer of red on top.  This one is for his son and will be used very often.












If you have any comments please just post them and I will be sure to let Jake and his son know.  Thanks for viewing!

Nerf Proton Mod Guide


Here are my mods for the Nerf Proton

Mods:
  1. Increased torsion spring
  2. Removed locks
Here is a look at the inside of the blaster when you first open it up
Torsion spring before it was modded
In order to put the torsion spring all the way to the back hole, you need to cut a small  section out of the plastic to it rests in it.  Then put the screw in on top to hold it in place.
Here are all the parts I had left over after I was done removing the locks.
This part of the trigger must be trimmed down in order for you to pull the trigger at any time.  This makes it so  you can also de-prime it.
Here is a last look at the internals before putting it back together.
I really enjoy this blaster.  This blaster shoots farther than the Nerf Praxis.  It is a fun and easy to use blaster. I will be making an attachment for the blaster so that it will drop feed the disks into the tray automatically when pulled back.  I will put a post up when its put together.  Thanks for viewing.

Dorm Battles

So now that Contagion has come to an end, everyone who has been a zombie for a long time has been itching for some good battles using their blasters.  So we decided to have ourselves a little Nerf war in our dorm.  I only got a few shots because I wanted to play but this one kid just kept getting ambushed and was camping the stair case every time.  It was a lot of fun!

Also, I have started a game of HvZ at my school!  I am super excited to  finally have this on my campus.  I am the moderator of the game and will not be playing because I don't want  things to be bias to one side or another.  I am very excited about it and it should be a good game!  I will keep you posted as it goes along.

Wow...that's a low price!

Hey everyone,

So as Contagion week (modified version of HvZ) starts on the 23rd, many of the students are going and buying Nerf blasters for this special event.  While I was over hearing them talk, they start talking about prices.  After talking to them, apparently there is a huge sale at Atlantic Superstore by my school.  Here is a small rough price list of the blasters they had:

  • Nerf Praxis - $7.44
  • Nerf Proton - $7.47
  • Nerf Vigilon - $9.47
  • Nerf Maverick - $5.95
  • Nerf Nitefinder - $6.99
  • Nerf Jolt - $.74
I almost died!  If I had the money I would have bought so much!  Unfortunately, the Jolt was out of stock or I would have bought about five of them.  I do not know why they have their stuff so cheap.  But the cool thing is that people found out that I know how to mod blasters and so I am getting a bunch of requests to mod blasters.  I have already modded 2 mavericks in the past 3 hours and people are still going out and buying blasters.  One guy is giving me cash to mod his, and the other guy actually bought me the Nerf Praxis that is on sale.  I don't know if I will open/use it.  May just keep it and sell it later on down the road.  But I was shocked at how low the prices are.

***Quick Reminder: Please go and vote on which blaster(s) I should use for this Contagion game that we will be playing.***
