I got things! Nerf Sports line and blasters.

The Wicked Emcee has come through again! I received a package from some fine folks I met via the NDTL. This is its story.

When the weather gets warmer, expect to see some of the sports gear in action. As for the blasters… well, they’re a Raider and Furyfires. Good close quarter multi-shot blasters and that’s pretty much how I play. Things are good!

DO NOT FORGET:

FFA is accepting submissions for “FoammeFatales”! Any ladies reading, send a pic of yourself (guys, have any lady friends into foam blasters?) and a foam flinger (Nerf blaster, Buzz Bee, Lanard, whatever) to FoammeFatale@gmail.com along with a few words about yourself, a nickname, fave blaster, game type, and a colorful blaster related anecdote. If you like N-Force stuff/foam melee weapons, that’s admissible too. Ladies, represent!

What we’re looking for:

1) NO SCANTILY CLAD PHOTOS. I’m serious. The more skin you show in a photo does NOT (doesnotdoesnot) increase your chances of being picked as a FoammeFatale. And seriously, I’m not about to risk someone underage trying to send me pic of them in a two-piece, thanks. Trying to pander to my more base sensibilities is insulting.

2) Action photos, if possible!

3) See #1

4) Make sure to blur out anyone else in the photo not you. Just in case they don’t want to be featured too.

5)…. TBD.

Notice:

Voluntarily sending me a photo is permission for me to use your image on my blog where the only compensation you receive is recognition on FoamFromAbove as a “FoammeFatale”. I won’t photoshop anything crazy, and I will let you know if anything else will be done with your photo with your permission.

Later, thanks for viewing/reading!

HUZZAH!

Have a good weekend, everyone!

What’s this!? – SPY GEAR SIGNAL LAUNCHER

What you’re looking at is one of my new friends, the Spy Gear Signal Launcher by Wild Planet. I’ve modded it, but you can find stock pics HERE. I haven’t done anything to the pump, but that’s a seven shot 1’ish long clip on the back, complete with a 3/4″ ball valve for loading. The barrel is 1/2″ PVC, and it is awesome. I first grabbed one of these months ago, but I liked the stock look and signal features so much I never modded it. Then they became available for cheaper at Tuesday Morning, and I had to live the dream.

It is an air blaster, complete with pump handle on the front of the blaster. From the looks of the internals, the tank is HUGE. I’d put it close to or bigger than a Big Blast, and it shows.

Stock, the blaster shoots these specialized rounds for particular signals, hence “Signal Launcher”. The yellow has a rubber band to hold a note, the red has streamers for added visibility, and the green one whistles through the air.

Like I said, I didn’t even plug the overpressure release valve and even with the large RSCB and some dead space it fires like a charm with 1/2″ stefans ammo. No official range tests with a measuring tape, but it certainly looks comparable to my +bow ranges. While I still have to flick the blaster to prime a dart due to the RSCB, I’m pretty happy with the ROF and range I can get outta this thing. If you can find one, definitely pick one up!
