[QUOTE="GandalfMithrandir, post: 5612793, member: 82765"] I'll babble about a couple of things, which I will put in sblocks since I have a tendency to ramble. [sblock=item 1, the nerf gun]The nerf gun I used in the above story is not stock, I know a guy who knows a guy that can make molds for aluminum and such, as well as another guy that makes super springs and such, so I talked to the guy I know, and he had his guy make aluminum versions of the parts of a nerf recon that would be part of the firing (outside case, plunger system, chamber and trigger mechanism) and I also got the barrel made to fit exactly the diameter of the darts I use, and the chamber was sealed from the outside (except the barrel) as opposed to having little cracks all over, but anyway, so this thing can shoot really, really powerfully at short ranges, and is very accurate when I use my homemade darts (pure cylinder of cone with a metal BB on the top with hot glue covering it as well as a dent in the bottom made by pressing the tip of the hot glue gun on the bottom) but anyway, I digress, this thing is very powerful, but the only problem is, because the spring is so amazingly tough, I have to keep it disassembled when I store it, so the spring doesn't lose its awesomeness, and also it is very difficult to recamber ammo, so I usually have to set it on the ground and kick the bolt down with my foot to open the chamber, and then pick it up by the bolt to close the chamber with a new dart. Because this thing can cause considerable pain on the person on the receiving end (as demonstrated before) I don't like to use it in nerf battles, and I could probably go duck hunting with it if I wanted, but I don't like to go duck hunting, as hitting a duck is difficult to do if you don't have a shotgun.[/sblock] [sblock=item 2, a friend at school]I have a friend at school who is a very bad example, I'll make this story short to skip the innapropriate parts of this story, but at one point he came to school with a brown root beer bottle, a bag of ice and a glass, being unfamiliar with alcohol containing glasses, I'm not sure exactly what kind it was, it didn't have a neck but it was bigger than a shot glass, smaller than a mug, anyway, he takes the ice, pours some into it, then opens the root beer bottle, pours some of that in, then kicks his feet up on the tabel across from him and says "I love root beer on the rocks!" I love that kid, he graduated this year and I will miss him.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
