Douglas Schumacher

Hey everyone it is Douglas, and this blog that I started in May 2011 and ended in December is coming back!  I have a lot to tell about, including the new URL, name, and content. If you didn't know, I starting a vlog (video blog) series on Youtube (on my original channel) called DougASchu Vlogs.  Since May, I've been making videos about Nerf, Tech, and Weather...my three main interest areas.  In late June and early July, my videos became a weekday routine.  They are a lot of fun, but also a LOT of work to make.  It takes about four hours per vlog between researching, filming, editing, and uploading the day's video.  That kind of schedule only works in early summer when I have quite a bit of free time. My Vlogging Logo As 4-H, soccer, and Student Council, plus preparing for high school, become a full-time ordeal, I knew daily vlogging was no longer an option.  My plan as of Wednesday was to film segments of the video every day, and ...

Glow in the dark, clip fed, semi-auto.... Rayven CS-18! Box Stats: Semi-Auto Uses clip system Has barrel attachment compatibility Blaster uses 4 AA batteries 18 dart clip "charges" glow in the dart streamlines with 3 AAA batteries Clip goes behind trigger- I've never seen that before Approximate Price (translated from euros): $60 Of all the rumors so far- I want this one now!  Its so cool.  It looks like a miniature Stampede.  I personally love glow in the dark because I do lights out and nighttime wars.  Could the clip make other clip blasters glow in the dark, too?  Can't wait... Here's the German forum that had all the leaks... This ends the rumor string of posts, now on to released somewhere (not USA). Update : Here's another picture of this blaster- thanks to Urban Taggers. Happy Nerfing!

Here's one we've seen before- Nerf Dart Tag Speedswarm. Box Stats: Full auto Holds 10 darts Uses 6 AA batteries Appoximite price (translated from euros): $45 Here's the post of the blaster leak itself. Interesting- but kinda ugly in my opinion. Happy Nerfing!

We'll kick off our montage of rumors with this: Nerf Super Soaker LightningStorm Box stats: Full Auto 1 liter drum clip (hopfully compatible with Thunderstorm and Tornado Strike) Shoots 25 feet Uses 4 AA batteries Uses "PowerSoak" technology Also comes with shield and stock  To me, it looks like a Thunderstorm but I'm sure some of this will change.  That drum looks heavy... Happy Nerfing! Update : Here's another view...

Hello fellow Nerfers! Many new blaster concepts and releases have been coming out lately.  The next couple posts will be on some I have not yet featured. Happy Nerfing!

I finally got around to doing that range test of all my blasters as I've said before.  The test is not that accurate- but gives you a general idea.  In the future, I'll do multiple shots and averages and the whole 9 yards.  For now, you can watch the tests. I explain how the darts skid.  I tried to shoot all blasters flat and with their specified dart (ie: What Hasbro puts on the box).  Sorry that the video is not better but I'm so tired and busy today that this is all I could do. Happy Nerfing!

Nerf's Facebook Page now has up a countdown to Vortex - less than 14 days.  That's a long wait- get here already!  Also, Nerf's Youtube Channel has a Vortex teaser, the video is almost identical as the Walmart one .  Here it is: Happy Nerfing!

I'll be super busy this week because it's my county's fair.  Today I'll be making a run to a Goodwill to look for Nerf guns.  Anyway, to keep you busy about Nerf, read some of my favorite blogs... www.nerfornothing.blogspot.com www.urbantaggers.blogspot.com
