Loadouts 2: Heavy Fire Support

Scenario Description: Close-mid range team based encounters. General engagement ranges ~7-12m. Generally numerous, small teams instead of few, large teams. May or may not have numerous obstacles obstructing lines of fire. Player has taken role of fire support for team. Where necessary player provides fire support for team, and where necessary team protects player.
Keys to Victory: Rapid fire blasters with reasonably high capacity, preferably easy to reload. Reasonable range - does not have to shoot particularly far. Must be able to effectively spray darts at opponents, idealistically suppressing or tagging them. Large amounts of ammo. Fearlessly spray opponents, even when under heavy attack.
Unnecessary Burdens: Sidearms - your team covers you when you reload, more than one blaster (with exceptions) - unnecessary weight and bulk

Loadouts 1: CQC 1

This is an ongoing set of posts, inspired by Street Tag Warfare's post here and Awesomely Nerf's page here.
In these posts I will have a small set of blasters, their purpose, their strengths and their weaknesses along with pictures.

Scenario Description: Close range combat with lots of walls and other obstacles in the way. Range not particularly important. Usually few players, thus usually small or no teams.
Keys to Victory: Mobility/maneuverability, adapting quickly to changes in scenario, fast firing blasters with short reload times.
Unnecessary Burdens: Weight, bulk, excessive amounts of ammo, slow firing blasters, large blasters, unnecessary sidearms, unnecessary attachments.

Slydev Nerf Jolt Rail Attachment Review

Slydev is an Aussie based small business who sells 3D printed plastic Nerf accessories. Possibly they're most well known one is this highly innovative piece, the Jolt Holder, which effectively turns a Jolt into a tactical rail accessory.

Nerf Stampede ECS SMG Test Vids

Some vids to test my Stampede ECS SMG.

ROF is about 4dps (I think).

Ranges up to about 23m flat (75ft). Accuracy is almost nonexistent.
EDIT: Probably don't give these ranges much stock.

All in all it's a great rushing and spamming blaster but it definitely sucks at accuracy.

Rayven Reliability Test

In this vid I test how reliable the Rayven is. I fire off 7x18 clips (mags), which totals 126 darts.
ROF peaks at 6dps in the middle three clips (mags).
Not a single jam or misfire.

Elite Strongarm Speculations!

Yep, the day you've all been waiting for is here!

SlyDev Accessories

This is really just an advertisement for a fellow Aussie providing a great service for Nerfers in Australia and the US (for now, may expand to worldwide).
SlyDev is an Aussie based store which utilises 3D printing to make reasonably small Nerf accessories which have been experimented a number of times and calibrated to fit perfectly on Nerf rails (or be glued on to blasters).
He makes accessories such as tac-rail mounted iron sites (which I'm very interested in), a tac-rail mount for a Jolt (which I'm also interested in) and the Companion Cube from Portal.
The store link is this blue underlined text.

Fellow Aussie blogger Rolley (who runs Street Tag Warfare, link left) has gotten a bunch of the accessories SlyDev sells, and has two reviews: Jolt mount and Iron sights + other stuff.

Postage in Australia is capped at $6 (an absolute bargain) and to the US postage is a flat rate of $13.

Outback Nerf gets on Facebook

Like everyone else, Outback Nerf has just gotten a Facebook page. You'll get all sorts of extra info and pics as well non-post-worthy news etc.
It's also a better place for discussion than a blog.
