Con rules say no projectiles, no exceptions. Even setting it up outside is iffy.

Also, those guns are loud as hell and don't shoot very far. Source: I own one.

You could still use the same interface/programming to make a faux sentry though. One that doesn't shoot anything, also I know they don't shoot very far, I own one too. Because I'm an adult and I can buy the toys I never got as a kid now.

That vid she did swap to a double-power spring, and is overvolting the drive motor, so that's why it's working so well I think.

Regarding using the same system to do a sentry, I concur, but if you're not firing anything then you can just make it a more accurate prop that makes noise instead of using a Nerf gun Wink

my dad recently bought a new ruger 10/22 carbine and was thinking about buying me a similar model that disassembles so i can be carried in a bookbag or similar sized case.
Sounds good to me

Re: Neat stuff (non-lulz but interesting things) - at0m - 07-12-2013

Ruger 10/22 Takedown, I'm actually looking at getting that exact model

I wish I had a reason to acquire an AR-7. I love well-designed tools.

who needs a reason? Just buy it

Re: Neat stuff (non-lulz but interesting things) - FlyingMongoose - 07-13-2013

Here's why:
Buy it while you can, almost all gun laws get grandfathered if you owned it before it changed. Firearms almost always appreciate in value (if you take care of them properly). They are an investment and a form of protection.

Re: Neat stuff (non-lulz but interesting things) - A. Crow - 07-13-2013

Whoever told you guns always appreciate in value is just trying to get you to buy more guns, which they are selling.  Hell, even the AR-15 prices are kinda returning to something more reasonable, and that market is fueled by misinformation, fear, and greed.    

Buy a gun because you want to be able to shoot things.  Then read up on your local laws to determine what's legal to shoot.

All depends on the gun laws actually (if a particular type is no longer able to be sold by retailers it becomes very valuable, however trade, and existing ownership gets grandfathered (usually)). As well as the demand of the ammunition for a certain type of firearm. It's very rare that firearms significantly depreciate in value unless it is improperly taken care of.

Polaris (American Company) bought Indian Motorcycle (and it's name) in 2011

On August 5th, 2013 American Pickers will be unveiling the new 2014 Indian Chief motorcycle on the History Channel.

I'm not even a motorcycle guy and I'm excited about this.

Their ad campaign is "Choice is coming back to American motorcycles."
