Board Thread:General Nerf discussion/@comment-26431461-20160624020956

Very inspired by the fact that Mojo got a freaking Rayven for $25 bucks recently (let that sink in), I decided to thrift more often, at my local Value Village. While I didn't find a Rayven, I did find a Vulcan EBF 25.

It wasn't in the best condition, in fact it was probably one of the worst. The shell was fine, but it was missing...

The handle

The ammo box

The tri-pod

The freaking belt

The FREAKING BATTERY TRAY

And the switch cover

It suprisingly still had the bolt, and the firing mechanism worked fine.

Due to this I decided not to buy it, and it kinda felt like a missed opportunity. However, I slept on it (figuratively, I would never sleep on a used Nerf gun) and decided to go back and buy it the next day.

So I went back to the thrift store, and it was thankfully still there.

But upon closer inspection, I found that the rotation mechanism didn't work, and to make matters worse, the barrel was cracked and mangled, and there was a pool noodle stuck in the barrel.

Yes.

A pool noodle.

Didn't think a pool noodle could fit in a 2.5 cm clearing did you?

Well, to be fair, it was a small pool noodle.

And quite frankly I'm not sure if it was even a pool noodle.

But it was circular, and it had a hole in it, so let's assume it was a pool noodle. Or a 1/2 inch PVC coupling.
