Buzz Bee Ultimate Missile Blast(6)

Hay guys. Its plopper. I just went to Target today and i saw the missile blast. So i decided to pick it up and check it out. It comes with the gun itself and two glo-missiles that glow in the dark. The gun is just a re-shelling of the big blast, but with a smaller tank and pump. The box claims to go 30ft and it achieves that. To me thats bad. The gun was on clearance for $7.40 but usually cost about 8.00 dollars. It can connect to the snipe blast, rapid blast and another missile blast and the berserker. The gun has alot of modding potential. It feels comfortable, very well bilt, strong plastic. If you see this in stores, i would pick it up and mod it.
Ranks
Comfort:6
Modding potential: 7
Power: 6
Range:5

Thats all folks!

Review: Airzone Triple Shot

Pictures coming later.

The Airzone Triple Shot is a Toys R Us exclusive, and because of that it is a bit overpriced, at $20 minimum.

First up is the blaster itself. It's obvious that it was designed for younger kids; the grip is somewhat small for my already small hands, and the stock is only useful for dart storage. It is suprisingly thin and lightweight, even when full loaded.

The plastic looks weaker than Nerf's, but Matt reports that his has lasted a year and counting. The stock attachment point is loose, and by simply bending the stock to the side you can remove it. All logos except for copyrights are done in stickers.

Next we have the ranges. This particular blaster gets 10-15 feet flat, and 15-18 angled. However, keep in mind that this is a shotgun, and is not meant for long range firefights.

Finally the modding and paint potential. Let's start with the paint. This blaster has many grooves and edges that were not painted by Air Zone. This blaster has a good amount of potential for painting. As for modding potential, I know a lot of you have seen the Quad and OctoShot. This thing packs a punch when modded properly.

Note: The following ratings are based on a blaster's class, and not based on every single gun out there.

Quality: 7
Reliability: 9
Mobility: 9
Ranges: 7
Potential: 10

If you feel I was wrong about some of my ratings, feel free to drop a comment below.

Announcement

Just a quick announcement. My custom blaster posts have been moved to my personal blog, Shadow Nerf. I'll be posting all of my custom works, armory updates, and possibly war stories there. I'll still be posting regularly on Thursdays here. "Bless your face. If you sneezed during this article, bless you. Peace off." -Toby Turner

Protection

This is AidanWolfNerf, Matt speaking. How would you protect yourself in, let's say a battle situation. Would you take cover, go for the kill without protection or use armor? Yes I do mean armor. You can make your own, or buy one at the store pre-made. It will decrease the chances of yourself getting injured by a dart, and if you play with the armor as decreasing damage when you get hit, then I would gladly urge you to choose the armor. Sure you would take cover yourself, but would you rather take a shot protected or un-protected? I'd have to go with protection, sure you might think you would look rather, odd, but would you take a shot that wouldn't hurt as much or not? Darts don't really hurt stock, but what if they hit you in a critical spot like your eyes? That is why I say you would be better off with the armor. You could even make the armor yourself! some cardboard should do the trick, to repel the darts. Well, that will be all.

raider pistol

hi guys its plopperfox. i just made a raider pistol and it is awsome!!!!!!!!!! everyone should make it. now it looks like a recon now. it gets the same ranges as a modded recon. to do it u need to look up a toutorial on youtube. to make it u need a dremal with a utility bit. a drill with a drill bit (5/32 or lower) a pin or some coat hanger( i used a priming bar from a LS front gun) epoxy and thats it. first u do all the internal mods like ar removal, locks, ect. then u look up a toutorial on how to do the pistol mod and ur done it gets 50-55 feet angled and 35 feet flat. if u have a raider turn it into a pistol. CAUTION: IF U R NRW TO NERF MODDING MOD SOMETHING EASYER LIKE A NITE FINDER. well thats all folks heres a some pics of the raider:

Custom blasters!

Hey guys Echo here and i have a few blasters  i want to share with you guys here on AWN. So i found some red paint and figured i should repaint my minimized strikefire while i was doing that i found my old pistol shell and painted that too for the fun of it.  The paint should be done drying soon, then i'll put some more coats on and do some touch-ups. I dont know what to call this blaster. I might call it the fanger so i'll have my own version of Drac's Fanger! If you have any name ideas for this black and red pistol drop me a comment below. Have a nice day! -Echo

Another 2 Player War

This is AidanWolfNerf, Matt speaking. I had another huge Nerf War today. I had also swan-off the stock of the Tommy 20 Automatic so it is like a Machine Pistol except for it's drum which is ir-removable. (yes machine pistols can use clips and drums.) In the war, my first weapons was the
Raider with Flipclip and a maverick. I was carrying so much stuff, a Big Holster for my Tommy 20 Automatic sawn-off, a small holster for my Maverick, the longstrike with bandolier, and a Triple Shot and Barrel Break in a bookbag. I was also using a helmet and protection goggles. I had the Vulcan as sentry gun. I was opposing a Powerstrike, a barricade, a modded maverick, (this was my friends modded maverick, not mine.) the Airzone 8 Shooter, the Airzone Arrowstorm, and the Recon. This was a big war indeed. I took 10 minutes just to clean the whole thing, maybe more. So anyways, we had 30 lives each and we had a second war which made this the biggest 2-player battle I've had so far. So I was at breaking point, 9 lives vs 25 lives. I had a bad start, I got sniped with the longstrike when we switched sides and weapons. By the time I was at breaking point, I had only a recon with 12-18 darts left in the raider drum. So I did a special tactic. While the opposition was firing the powerstrike while I was keeping my head down in the staircase. So as I was facing "heavy fire" in which I got hit in what, 1 shot..., I got on the floor where there was a sofa hiding me and giving me great cover to crawl and grab some Streamline Darts before I lost the war. By this time the opposition ran out of powerstrike ammo. The opposition now had the Vulcan since we switched sides and weapons. My recon was no match for Automatic-fire so I got my Last Chance to win. I prepared my Tommy 20 Automatic and my Barricade Rev-10 and went for last stand. He obliterated his barricade so he could get through and attack me so I dual wielded and I lost but I fired my shots Quickly before I lost so the opposition lost too. It was a very nice war, and I'm going to have another soon. That is all for now.

Modding Advice: The importance of plunger head lubrication

Just a quick tip for modders. Proper lubrication on your blasters' plunger heads is vital. For example: After applying teflon tape under the O-ring on my Switch Shot, my ranges dropped to 25 feet due to the loss of lubrication. However, after a fresh coat of olive oil, I was able to get 35 feet flat and 45-50 feet angled.
