I picked up one of these a few weeks back and it is surprisingly a fun toy. I am definitely considering getting some for my young nephew's birthday party. :) However, mine only came with two shells :(
whats cool about it is the fact i can actually see it as a regular zip gun or makeshift shotgun for people in the wasteland. call it granny's apple pie or something. a nice surpise from a sweet old lady. i can even think of a nice build i can do to make it real. though the pull zip will be on the back of it instead
I can imagine someone being mean, sneaking up behind someone, and ejecting the shell in the face Actually I think I know a guy who’d do exactly that So what I’m saying is I’ll take two
That random button is to release the slide when it's locked back instead of just hitting it which is when it's empty but it's not fantastic even as a slide lock
Feels about right to me. I don't live too far from Reno myself, so 2 and FONV are two of my big faves. You should consider a trip out this way sometime. Good Springs NV is a real micro dot on the map but serves as something of a Mecca to us FO fans. Lots of good cheap campgrounds cover the state as well if that is your thing. Just make sure you book in advance for places to camp on Tahoe's shore if you come to the North end.
@@calebbelina7909 yea this is like the knock off version of that one. I think that one is like white and purple or white and blue. Heard decent things about them, pretty much what you said around hasbro performance but with the cool shell loading gimmick. I think those ones have metal components too which would be really nice as the plastic on this one is so bad 😂
Yoooo a series you make props for? Catch me watching every episode hell yeah dude! I've used Testor's enamel paint for detailing on my crafts before, and it's lustrous and does a great job being metallic but good lord does it stink! That leafing finish seems like a good alternative but maybe not a wicked shiny, I'll have to pick some up to try out. I'd love to see a vid where you test out different paints/techniques to achieve different metal effects. Paisley's so stinkin' cute!
@@hauntedbones6199 thank you for the support! It means a lot. Yea we re really trying with this series to make it look like it has higher production value since our budget is basically zero lol Yea sometimes I like doing experimental stuff as i can use the techniques later for other stuff. Like this style didn’t make the most realistic woodgrain but it would look great with a borderlands cel shaded paint job. But yea dude, thank you for watching!
another great video! audio in the intro was a bit muffled but the voiceover was a massive improvement from last time. Paisley is super cute! question: does the action stiffen up after you paint it? i used to paint legos and other stuff i had as a kid and fitting them together/using them as intended wasn't always as smooth as from the factory
@@flewis thank you! Yea I got a better mic again, just need some noise canceling stuff in the garage. I used a background noise reduction app thing on the voice over as my air conditioner was running in the garage so there was an annoying hum in the clip. The noise reducer totally eliminated it in the voice over but I think it over corrected the intro a bit and muffled it lol On Some blasters painting them will cause the action to stiffen up or even stick and not function. All depends on what sort of clearances the moving parts have and how much the additional layers of paint bulk up the part. This thing wasn’t affected at all by the painting but there’s like 1/4 inch gaps around the area the action moves through. On hasbro blasters I usually have problems with the trigger mechanism and the rev trigger on electric blasters. Anytime I paint hasbro blasters the triggers will get stuck to the rear due to the additional paint.
@@rocketcoffinstudios thanks for replying so quickly! looking forward to the halo shotgun vid! (take your time tho i know you said it's a lot of footage)
yes, the wood grain is overkill. At a distance looks good, but on close up it looks like a cartoon painting of wood grain. Less overkill work would have also looked good at a distance, would have looked less cartoonish on close-up (*) and would have been less work and expense. On the other hand, the gunmetal work was superb, one of your best. (*: Even with bad cameras. If the exaggerated grain shows up on the one you used for this video, which surely isn't also a professional cinema camera, won't it likely also show up if you guys decide to have a very close hero shot of the prop for the show? I'm not trying to be a smartass telling you how to do your job, just offering unsolicited, unpaid and unpopular input of where you hit disminishing returns.)
I know that gun 😂. Thank you Rocket Coffin for the shout out!! Great content as always. I love watching your videos and your set up in the back every time. Chef’s kiss.
@@user-wc1wf6vl6d laziness. Regular primer will work on nerf/ dart blasters but in my experience it will scratch off easy if you don’t sand the blaster first to help the paint stick to it. Not always but it happened enough times I got fed up with it. I also hate sanding with a passion. So tedious and boring. My adhd can’t handle it 😂 plasti dip is designed to stick to plastic so it doesn’t need the blaster to be sanded before hand. . I also always have plasti dip on hand as it’s what I use on foam floor mats for prop making. So yea either will work I just prefer plasti dip
@@rocketcoffinstudios stuff I read said primer first then plasti dip. As for sanding, for my 3d prints I put together this makeshift precision sander I saw online. You take an electric toothbrush, cut the bristles off the head, then glue a little disc of sandpaper to the head. I tested it on this particular gun and it helped remove the logo and smoothed out the "Made in China".
When you’re done with the video and editing and everything would you please give me a shout out? Also I have plenty more blasters you can review for upcoming videos if you’re interested.
Absolutely man! I found one on trigger toy for 40$ so it’s gonna be next month when I get paid again before I can get it but I will definitely give you a shoutout!
@@Maskedcosplayer435 it worked ok, it has a little more resistance when you pop out the cylinder, but it still shoots and rotates. Given how bad the performance was I wasn’t too worried about preserving the functionality as it’s gonna be strictly a cosplay piece, but the functionality was retained nonetheless
That’s an freaking sweetNerf gun dude holy crap! By the way checked out that stuff you’ve been doing at wild wastelands you tube. awesome work you guys are awesome.
@@Huckleberry600 thank you dude! Much appreciated. Glad you checked out wild wasteland! We re really trying to do something cool with it. I came into filming late, most of episode 1 was already done. So I’m doing the costumes for episode 2. If you have Facebook I’m on there too, same name rocket coffin studios. I post daily progress on the stuff I’m working on like the NCR trooper costumes for the show. Thank you again for the support dude! It means a lot for small channels like me and wasteland! 👍
First off, mic audio is really gainy (I think that’s the right term) and it’s probably time for a new one. Secondly, I need to see how you made that halo shotgun, it’s so damn cool. Great video! If I can find this for around the price you got it for I’ll probably pick it up, you’ve convinced me. Cheers! Edit: I hope it’s not too hot where you are bc all that armor must be killer
@@flewis thank you! Yea my plan is to buy a new mic and if it’s good I will buy a second one of it and keep that as a back up since my backup mic sucked. I even tried running the audio through a ai voice enhancement app to reduce the background noise and regulate the volume. It helped but the audio was still bad. The halo shotgun is actually gonna be an upcoming video! I filmed the whole build, just editing it now. It’s like 20 hours of footage so it Probally won’t be the next video but it is in the works! Glad you enjoyed the video! Oh it was about 97 degrees Fahrenheit when I did the video 😂 that’s why you see my hair slicked back at the end from the sweat. I’m used to the heat after being in Afghanistan but yea it was not a fun time. But we do what we have to do to make cool stuff!
Well brother, totally agree with what you said. First, ya need a new mic, the fallback one was spiking hot and tinny. Just a comment on audio but yeah, it works in a pinch. As we are both avid Halo fans, yeah, Hasbro knocked it out of the park with this one. Beautiful 1 to 1 replica (and the ODST armour was a nice touch) Great for cosplay or a collector's piece. I would totally run that in a war (I've been known to do stranger things) Hasbro darts suck, common knowledge in the hobby so not surprised to see the difference when you switched darts. It's interesting because Hasbro went back to an old design from the Dart Tag line for this one (Speed swarm, I think) Great video as always, hope you and the fam are doing alright. Talk soon brother. Much love, Doc out
Thank you brother! Yea I’m gonna buy a new mic test it and then buy a second of that mic if it’s good and get rid of the current back up. Like you said it worked in a pinch, definitely better than if I used the native iPhone audio but it’s the main weak point of this video for sure. That’s a good point about the speed swarm, I hadn’t thought about that! Thank you my friend!
Don’t have one to compare but it’s got a decent pop behind it. When I tested it on myself it felt like a lower power airsoft gun like a spring powered pistol. Hope that helps!
Never had a problem needing to remove the paint, even with the extra thickness of the paint most of the parts still line up and function properly even after painting. Unless you mean making it have an orange tip for safety? In that case I use orange masking tape on the end of the barrel and then remove it for photo shoots and display. Hope that helps, sorry if I misunderstood!
@@CozyBuzzard weird. In the past I used a permanent marker to cover up paint damage. you may be able to sand down the spots where it’s touching then color them black with the sharpie to make it work again?
Hhhmmm dunno. Could be blaster could be shooter. He might have gotten a less accurate one, or he might have been having an off day. I’m pretty accurate though, it’s part of why I do the reviews. I shot expert with every weapon they let me touch in the army and I like to think that carries over to dart blasters lol
