Starting my first Mando today

[kalika]

*** Those are out?!!! Dang I have to wait 'til next week to get mine... but yeah lev'ika it's a great choice! I'll be getting one to play with my nephews but It'll make a great blaster

 

[Alpha 02]

they're a blast to play with my friend! i spent the entire day goofing around with it

And it actually came out today i beleive

 

[kalika]

yeah I think today was the release date... did u get the version that came with the free 100 darts and spare clips?

 

[adonian]

strange with the 9-9-09 releases huh, apple did a bit today too... ipod nano with CAMCORDER BUILT IN FOR $150. Great fun on the run.

 

[Alpha 02]

no that wasnt available at Walmart here in saskatoon I plan on switching that massive clip for a small one off my brothers nerf

And if you have ever seen the Maveriks (hand gun like nerf) i plan on getting two of those towards the end

 

[kalika]

yup i know the maverick... I have a lil Nerf N-strike plunger blaster for a sidearm, and I use my heavily modded Recon right now when my nephews want to play nerf... but when I get the Raider I'll attach the small scope and the Red Dot aiming light and go to town on 'em. lol

 

[Alpha 02]

Its semi-automatic so its pretty intence.... or at least until you fire all 35 shots (takes forever to reload them all back into the clip :/ )

 

[kalika]

that's why u have spare MAGAZINES ready to roll ner vod...lol

 

[Alpha 02]

haha thats what i plan on doing

Im going to buy like ten nerf magazines from walmart, paint em, and make a bandolier with them

 

[kalika]

sweet! I was going to have a bandolier full up of nerf darts to use as "microdets" but I don't think I'm going to now... I may still do it yet tho, it seems like something a tough bad*** air commando might wear... altho I've yet to see one actually do it. lol

 

[Alpha 02]

Well its definatly going to be on mine

 

[Alpha 02]

Oh and kal, you know a lot about guns do you think i should cut off the front handle on my nerf? so i could just hold the barrel to make it look more blaster like?

 

[kalika]

nah I like the front grip... it's more tactical! lol seriously tho... I like the front grip and if u cut it off the gun will be non functional (i think). However, if u disassemble it (take a pic of the internals so u can get it back together) paint it and reassmble it, the thing should still work if u decide u want to play with it! lol Don't forget to keep the orange muzzle tho! It's the law! (even tho a lot of mandos disregard it)

 

[Alpha 02]

I was wanting to paint it black! is it that bad if i do?

 

[kalika]

well the law (in the US) states that toy guns must have the front 1/4" of the muzzle painted orange. A lot of ppl paint black over it and get away with it tho... I would just be careful with it, altho my gun looks a lot more like a real gun so I WON'T be taking any chances.

 

[Alpha 02]

Well I hope the rule is different in canada! Im going to paint it over anyway I dont live in a big city so no problem here

 

[Alpha 02]

Ill photoshop a picture tomorrow of what i want it to look like

 

[Alpha 02]

Ok bondo was the plan for today buuuuutttt the weather is having hiccups of rain every few minutes (ya i know, wierd) but i dont have any indoor place to bondo. So i will finish the bonoding tomorrow instead

 

[Alpha 02]

i photoshoped a picture of the the raider of how i want it to look like (besides paint)

 

[Alpha 02]

all i did was remove the front handle and the massive clip
