Board Thread:General Nerf discussion/@comment-27923854-20160709125916

This thread is a response to auburnattack21's opinion on modification, as i think its something we should discuss.

i understand Auburns dislike of modding, as it really does disrupt strategy, but i have a few polite objections.

here is my argument for modification:

modification is an equalizer for those who don't have the money to buy a really nice blaster, for example, because i mod blasters, even though i don't have many new ones, i still have lots of good ones for me, or others to use.

second, it adds another strategy element, by enabling long range engagements, with homemade "snipers", and just increasing range for other blasters.

third, the mechanical side of modding can be very educational, because you have to have a reasonable understanding of the physics that make nerf blasters work.

fourth, modding is a lot of fun!

so, as this thread is meant to be a debate of sorts, i will also add sme disadvantages to modification:

modded blasters can be painful. this makes it difficult to have small children in a nerf war.

second, there is always a risk of ruining a blaster when modding it.

i will keep adding to this post as i find time, so keep an eye out for updates.

and if you add a comment, please keep it on topic and polite.
