![]() The situation with nerf electrical, and the prompt for me to have an active interest in its improvement, is that we are lagging far behind other hobbies in our standards and common sense and our results DO in fact suffer from it. If you think I was a jerk, don't take it personally, and keep reading because I have a feeling it will seem far from an insult when you understand the logic of it.

I am aware my reputation is not a clean one and I am viewed variously as a quack, a bully, a theoretical unrealistic engineer guy, a hardass, an elitist. It is in the name of progress, and making the nerf hobby a better place for all of us. I do understand that my contributions to the hobby are not uniformly positive or well received, and that is unfortunate, but I am absolutely not ashamed of what I have done and I retract nothing I have said on the subject. ![]() You also probably, unless you live under a rock, know me specifically based on the subject of electrical modding, and perhaps you know me as a notorious combatant in the battery wars. You have probably seen it in the wild even if you don't mod. this strange, tense and undesirable hostility about anything involving foam and amperage. I speak of course of the heated discussion over things like TrustFires, stock wiring, battery packs, soldering, connectors, current draw, resistance, torque, trigger response. The "battery wars" primarily concern the power systems for electric Nerf guns and the efforts to improve on longstanding status quo practices, which for reasons unknown (but maybe all too familiar) have been met with tremendous resistance. ![]() So first, a little history for the uninitiated.
