Tinkercad Design

Well, I found this program while looking for good, reliable cad programs, and it is AMAZING! Its called "Tinkercad" and does not work in Safari, but works really well for our purposes. link here. Accounts are free, and its really easy to use. here are a couple of things I have built (no, Bob McBobb is not my real name :).
Im not sure the links will work, but here goes:
one
two
three
four
five

One of my homemades


So, this is the second homemade I have built. It is currently inoperative due to me using a rubber washer from it for my other homemade, a snapbow. It is my own design, featuring a bolt that returns to the original position after priming, reducing the user getting smacked in the face. Here are a couple pictures. (apologize for the second blurry picture.)

OH MA GAWD!!!!

I am so sorry! I haven't posted in like a month, and I have come really far in a lot of projects. First, I finished the quad fail and gave it a cool PJ to match. Next, Ive modified a NF and gave that a PJ as well. I've made two homemades, one currently inoperative. I attended a war, MANO 8.5. It was really fun, and used my longshot and quadshot to great effect. Well, I should have pictures of a bunch of stuff later today, see you later!

**WAKES UP** Direct plunger wha?!?!

Soooooooooo SG Nerf has uncannily nabbed a rampage. Kudos to him! The most interesting parts, though, are the internals. Direct plunger? HECK YESH!
(SG NERF CREDIT)


Finally nerf has listened to fans begging for direct plungers! (I still hate 'em though**smile**) I might have to break y oath and get a rampage when they come out. Except, Hasbro has an awesome knack for overpricing "New Gunz."

RANT TIME!

CBS Chicago: There is a household danger, it could kill your child, it is..... the Nerf gun!
^^GRRRRRRR^^

--START RANT--
Okay, so there seems to be a problem with some stupid eight year olds wanting to paint their "Nurph Gunz" flat black to look "kewl." It takes a few stupid jerks to give a good hobby like foam blasters  bad name. Honestly, one Youtube video of a flat black nerf alpha trooper and CBS goes nuts. If you ask me, why are they attacking nerf when airsoft is MUCH more dangerous? Here is a comparison:

Which looks more realistic? You decide. (HINT: It's the top one) Foam enthusiasts are always temperamental when it comes to orange tips. They HAVE to have an orange tip or your average nerfer freaks out. It's only a couple kids who think it's cool to have no orange tip. (Also, it takes 0 skill to paint a blaster flat black). Airsoft has about an inch, if not less, of orange. Most blasters are brightly colored and have much orange. I think some people are overreacting. (I won't even mention the comment about being "almost blinded") Well, you decide. Foam = death    or    foam = fun.

FBR Recommendation

Well, I'd like to start this post with an apology. I haven't posted in a while. It's a combination of vacation, life, and laziness. Well, here is my FBR of choice.
It is called "Comfort Seal" by the company RCR Dennis. I find the quality of the foam to be top notch as opposed to that purple junk from Home Depot.
It is VERY dense and not very sticky, which I have found a problem with in many brands. Here are some comparison pictures.

AND what it looks like in roll form (NOTE: no hard folds or crimps which interfere with the quality)
Well, sorry again for not posting in FOREVER and hope this helps!
