Update 2017.11.29

Well, I've been busy for a while.  I started this blog back in 2014, back during the early Elite years, and was lurking earlier than that. (I remember when that blue "elite recon" leaked and the speculation went crazy.) I've learned a lot, and I apologize to those people who I've offended over the years (NerfHaven admin team, the "Excellent Ice Cream" fiasco).

Anyway, I'm not quitting. I've seen enough of the bloggers leave. (My Last Dart faded out shortly after I started, and we've lost SBNC and Bazookafied since then.)

I'm currently working on Mechanical Engineering at CSUS, but I'm keeping Nerf on the backburner with the Spartan & Morrigan projects. If I can get an HPA rig for the former, the latter will probably be converted to HPA too.

[MOD] BoomCo Halo UNSC M6D Personal Defense Weapon

Wow, it's been a long time since I posted anything here; nerf blogging seems to be as dead as the Marleys. Anyway, I just got myself a new blaster, the Halo Magnum by BoomCo, and I've modded it. More after the big drop.

2017, the Year of the NIC-capable Blasters

Well, I don't know about you, but this year's Leak Week is shaping up to be quite nice. We've seen the flagship blasters for MEGA, Accustrike, Zombiestrike, Modulus, and Doomlands, and a new Alien Menace pistol to boot. This leaves just N-Strike Elite and Rebelle's offerings shrouded in mystery. As it is, hardcore modders have something to look forward to. More after the big drop.

War Report 2017-01-14 (Davis Nerf Club)

Well, after a busy summer of work and an autumn of school, I finally had some time to go to the Davis Nerf Club, and, to quote Tony Stark, "It's good to be back!"

More after the big drop.

Well, this was unexpected.

Well, Hascorp has been working on a ball-shooting, Gatling Gun-esque blaster for several years, and I think we've seen a proof of concept.

For Science!

Ususally, when I record a modification, it was successful. This time, though, it failed for me. For science's sake, I have included this experiment.

I don't have photos for each step because I usually go backwards after I finish, and only take progress shots when I think about it.

Continued after the big drop.

Snap Back to Reality

After a busy summer of work and a BRUTAL fall semester, I finally have some time for my blog. And man, oh man, have I got some catching up to do!

More after the big drop.

What are those?

You might have noticed the ads that have just shown up on my blog. No, that's not a fluke.
I need some money, and I decided to include some ads. Not a lot, just one or two, to create a trickle of change into my pocket so I can buy some of the new blasters and some RP this summer.
Heck, even Langley is considering putting ads onto NerfHaven, so I'm in good company.

Hasbro Finally Makes Clip-fed Blasters!

Ok, you all know the drill. Hasbro refers to the box magazines for its rifle-style blasters as "clips" and the community often refers to them as either that, or "clipazines". This is because these "clips" are actually magazines, and many can't tell the difference, so they just blur the words together into the infamous term "clipazine".


However, there are now two modern blasters that actually use clips!
Prepare to drop!

Heavy Stuff Inbound!

Another new year, another new set of blasters. This time, we're getting to see the flagship products for six of Nerf's sub-brands: MEGA, Rivals, N-Strike Elite, N-Strike Modulus, DoomLands, and ZombieStrike. Also, two smaller products have slipped onto store shelves without any fanfare. Prepare to drop.

The Major Modulus Mess

Now, we've had a month or two to digest the Modulus ECS-10, a reshelled Stryfe. Now, we've received confirmation of two more Modulus blasters: the Ion Fire and the Recon Mk II. Like the Modulus, they are essentially just reshelled blasters with new attachments.
Also, we've got a sneak peak of two new blasters

The Hampster Adaptor Mk 1

Have you ever wanted to use your Demolisher to fire stefans from the grenade launcher? I have the answer! What is it?
I have designed a piece to connect the missile launcher to a 1/2" PVC system. All you need is access to a 3D printer.

Want to know more? Prepare to drop.

New Stuff

Well, I managed to squeeze a few minutes out of my school-day to do this.
Nerf has a ton of little pistols coming out, but nothing really spectacular.

Nerf War After-Action Thoughts

Well, I never thought it would happen, but man, I was wrong.
What pray tell? STONO V.

I thought that the logistical errors had killed it, but it turned out to be almost as indestructible as the Bermuda grass that has taken over my lawn.

More after the big drop.

No Pulse

Due to unforeseen circumstances, STONO V is canceled.

Have a nice day.

Concept - Langley Overholt AS-16

Guys, I am working on this homemade that will do what many strive for but few attain: a semi-auto air-powered blaster. Since this is a homemade, this'll be using a hopper.
Since this is a concept thread, I'm posting it on my own turf, which should hopefully prevent certain individuals who have the authority to order a banhammer-strike on me.
I'm naming it in honour of the owner of Nerf Haven, "Langley",(and also after the CIA's hq).

Explanation of my idea after the big drop.

Mod Guide - Strongarm REV-6

NIX-122 recently asked me to modify his Strongarm, and I decided to use that as materials for a mod guide.

4/8/15 Where's M.C.0?

Now, some of you might be wondering what has happened to me.

I'll explain more after the big drop.

Stupid-Easy EAT Comfort Grip

Hey NIC,
I was just monkeying around with my blasters and blaster-parts, and I came to a revelation: the pump-grip on the Alpha Trooper/Elite Alpha Trooper is extremely uncomfortable.

If you think you've already read this on NerfHaven, you probably have.
If not, I'll show you after the big drop.
