NerfSG Game @ SDC!

Last weekend saw the latest large-scale NerfSG forum community Nerf game organised at the Singapore Discovery Centre (SDC). The outdoor game field was a massive fully sheltered area, with large traffic barriers arranged as tactical obstacles for the games!

In all, 26 nerf players participated in this event. This field setup was ideal for fast-paced tournament gameplay and scenarios!





Thanks to Divine Omega for organising the event, and all the players for their keen competition, it was a great opportunity to participate in this event!

Nerf Nite Finder EX-3 - Review!

As most of you blog readers may realise, although i've reviewed most of the new Nerf blasters in the N-Strike range... i've yet to review a particular model that may be of interest to many new nerfers.

Yes, the Nerf Nite Finder EX-3!

This is probably one of the first blasters that most new nerfers might buy, as it is affordable and offers some interesting features.

The Nite Finder is a spring plunger blaster that is primed by pulling a tab at the back. Once the plunger is locked, simply insert a foam dart into the barrel and fire. Then repeat.

This is a manual reload blaster, therefore rate-of-fire is slow. But it makes up for that with good firing range for its size... average range is around 25-30 ft. The blaster is packaged with 3 micro foam darts.

In addition, it also comes with a built-in red-dot targeter (similiar to the Nerf Recon), powered by 2 x AA batteries.

Foam Ballistic Shield!

Looking for some protection from foam darts?

Make your own Foam Ballistic Shield!

Foam ballistic shields introduce more interesting tactics in nerf skirmish games, especially for indoor close-quarter-battle (CQB) games!

This idea sprang up from a recent office nerf game, soon everyone was running around with these shields...



Its very simple to make, you can find the steps at my modworks blog Here!

Nerf Big Bad Bow - Review!

Still miss the classic 1990s Nerf Bow N Arrow?

Perhaps you could try the new version instead, the Nerf Big Bad Bow!

The Big Bad Bow (BBB) has a familiar bow style, but this time in a compound bow design with pulleys and such (these pulleys and strings are only cosmetic, they don't aid in the firing mechanism).

The package comes with 3 x Nerf Foam Arrows. There are 2 attachment holders on the BBB to mount the spare foam arrows on standby.

To fire, just pull back the rear handle and this action will prime its spring plunger mechanism. Once primed, load a foam arrow and you can shoot it like a normal blaster via the trigger.

The firing range is around 30+ ft, similiar to a Nerf Longshot or Recon.
