Hi there!
I’m a computer programmer and systems analyst by trade, currently working for a mining contractor managing their IT systems as part of a dedicated team. I work with Windows 2008 R2 servers as well as Linux and OpenBSD servers, with an interest in embedded computing.
I am also an avid Nerf fan and have a few devices of my own listed below.
My Nerf Arsenal
My dart gun collection:
- Deploy CS-6
A fun unit – has a “stealth” mode but with the push of a button reveals a trigger and the flashlight. 6 dart capacity (takes clip system darts) and pump-action reload. Many funs to be had.
- Reflex CS-1 (picture coming soon)A handy little unit. Only fires one dart at a time (with manual reload) but has one hell of a range, and scarily accurate. Fires whistlers and suckers.
- Barricade (picture coming soon)A favourite of mine. Features a rotating barrel with a 10 dart capacity, and can be reloaded quite quickly with enough practice. Automatic reload (can be a bit noisy so no good for stealth) makes this a handy one to have.
- Maverick (picture coming soon)This one won me over with its accuracy. The firing mechanism is a bit funny, sometimes the revolver gets sticky and won’t rotate on fire. If anybody can enlighen me as to how I can repair it, please let me know.
And a few Buzzbee ones – the darts they provide are too heavy for anything useful but they take Nerf whistlers:
- Rapid Fire Tek (picture coming soon)Being a lot like a shotgun was what attracted me to this one. A six-clip capacity (along with shells – largely for show) with a simplistic pump-action trigger. Would have preferred a pull-back reload, but it’s cool enough.
- Double Shot (picture coming soon)This one was even more like a shotgun. Took two manually loaded shells at a time and could fire one at a time (with careful trigger work) or both at once. Spring was loaded by cocking the gun at a 90 degree angle while reloading – a bit strange, but like the Rapid Fire, it takes shells which pop out when you go to reload so still cool.
