I have negative spud bux??????? I just deposit all my bux in the bank, maybe somthing went screwy?

EDIT: Deko, you use magzine paper because it has somthing in it that makes it stick to itself when it is licked. I think it's called kaolin.

Your gun might be too powerful. Try wrapping the finnished dart in electrical tape, might make it stronger.

you can use these with a match tip, or other flammable items, my favorite is a Q-tip dipped in butane. It burns good and can catch stuff on fire :twisted:

:shock: Don't let a moderator see anything about projectiles and flame :shock:

Take a quick trip to the rule book for the forum. Flaming projectiles is a no-no and is enforced. I know you are new. Welcome. We all make mistakes. Now you know.

:arrow: http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/rules.html
Incendiary projectile: Any projectile that is capable of producing flame.

1. Rocket propelled projectiles, pyrotechnic smoke bombs, or any other burning projectiles would qualify as an incendiary projectile.
