Modded Nerf Supermaxx 1500 (new style)

As I said in the SM1500 review, I will show the terror you can make with an SM1500. And here it is:

Complete with rear loading hole for ease of reloading.

No official ranges yet (getting dark) but minimum 20m with hot glue filled Streamlines.
Accuracy is perfect as always.
ROF is reduced by about half a second.
The barrel material is 16mm UPVC instead of the usual 13mm polypipe.
I've still got some tweaking to do with the turret-outlet seal.

EDIT:

 Cleaned up the rear loading hole a little and shortened the barrel. Also tweaked the air seal a little. Should be getting 30m+ ranges.

UPDATE: 22/6/12
Now have official ranges. On a wet day (thanks a lot Melbourne winter), achieving consistent and accurate 32m ranges with hot glue filled Streamlines.
Held relatively level to ground, between waist and shoulder height.
EDIT: Probably don't pay these ranges too much stock.

Also tweaked the air seal so ranges are good but ROF is increased closer to original levels.

I would definetely use this in a Nerf war.

Nerf Supermaxx 1500 Review

This is a review of the long discontinued Supermaxx 1500, otherwise known as the SM1500 or SM1.5k.

As made obvious by the two pictures, the SM1500 has two incarnations - one from 1997 (above) and one form 2000 (below). The one I'm reviewing today is the 2000 incarnation, which is supposedly more comfortable than the 1997 incarnation, but still performs the same.

Nerf Stampede Test Fire

A simple test fire of my Stampede ECS SMG. It has 4 14500 Trustfire batteries for an extremely high ROF.
EDIT: Please don't use Trustfires, especially for high draw blasters like the Stampede. Use eFest, AW or Windyfire IMRs.

Approx 4 seconds of full auto.
18 darts.
18/4=4.5 dps.
4.5*60=270 darts per minute.

Basic Nerf Receives Elite Stuff

Basic Nerf received their Elite gear, consisting of a Retaliator, Rampage and some extras.
Vids:

 

 

Nerf Longshot Test Fire

Test fire of my modded Longshot.
Using an OMW AT spring (5kg+), Serv Stampede Spring (10kg+) and stretched NF (old) spring (2.5kg?).
Totalling approx 17kg+ load.
Impossible to prime with one hand.
Ranges 25m+
EDIT: Don't pay those ranges too much attention, as reasonable as they are for a high power Longshot, they probably weren't measured properly at the time.
Reinforced Boltsled with aluminium sheet.
Stock breech and stock Streamlines.
A brass breech and good stefans would get it hitting 30m+ reasonably easily.

Dual Wield Barricades (Take 2)

I redid the Dual Barricade video because it was a little dark, so I was forced to video a small room rather than show you the actual power of the Barricades.
EDIT: Please don't use Trustfires, use eFest, AW or Windyfire IMRs.

General Dart/Disc Usage Tips Part 1

This will be a small post about about how to use your darts. I will add more pages if I discover more.

Rayven Range Test

Simple range test of the Rayven with 3 Trustfire 14500s and a screw for a dummy battery.
Average ranges 20-25m with stock streamlines.
EDIT: Ranges are probably worth jack since these shots were probably not properly flat. Also please don't use Trustfires, they suck. Use eFest, Windyfire or AW IMRs instead.
