Yeah, steampunk is the end goal of the guns we're buying. I don't remember if I posted our Halloween costumes here, but one of the places in town was doing a steampunk ball on that Friday. It was pretty lame, as they go, but it was free and gave us an excuse to start putting together outfits.

What paint did Morgan use? We're going to be steampunking our guns (and adding the zapper gun feature, no less) and I'd like them to look top-notch.

Edit: On a related note - by the gods, leather holsters are flippin' expensive. I wanted to get a couple simple, leather holsters to fasten to the cabinet to hold the zapper guns while not in use. Clearly, people who buy guns are willing to pay any price to holster those guns. :(

Yeah, I found a nice looking holster for the Maverick when I was looking stuff up last night, but it's $30. It looks awesome, but I'm not sure I'd be able to justify spending that much on it.

Heh. The holsters I found were in the $200-500 range. :D

Where was this $30 holster?

$200 to $500? That's insane! You should check Ebay. Or just make one yourself.

Morgan speaks highly of the Krylon Fusion paints. They're made so they bond with plastic, and with a layer of clear coat over it, they hold up really nicely.

To abruptly jump back to the original topic, I suspect Acer lied to me when it said that the software I wanted to reinstall was Windows 7 compatible. Windows now takes about three times as long to boot up as it did before I reinstalled their programs, and uninstalling them didn't help that much. So, now I'm wondering if I should just reinstall Windows again. At least I've got spare time to muck around with things.

Have you tried googling your problem yet? I've found that most problems I have were previously encountered and resolved by others.

Perhaps they really junked up your registry and it is still shoveling through the mess before each booting.

That's a given :)
Which takes us right back to my decades old complaint about applications over-writing o/s files.

Going back to the original topic jump- Morgan has set her heart on the Longstrike when it comes out, but until then I found her this. It's a freaking Nerf derringer, pretty much, maybe four inches long? It's awesome. That thing is destined to take up residence in a boot top or attached to a garter at some point.

Looking at that longstrike, it looks like it has a bolt-toggle to reload? I bet I could rig a push-button switch inside and wire it to the opti-track, to enable bolt-action reloading on gun games. That would be awesome. Any estimated price on the longstrike?

Toys r Us has it listed at $35. I read one place it's supposed to be a February release in the US- if you feel like dropping $100+ on one, it looks like they're already out in Australia, so you could get one on eBay.

I won't be able to grab one until after the trip, so a February release isn't a problem. :D

What's the range on it? Being a Longstrike, I would want best range possible to avoid the guy with the semi-auto.
