Captain Xavier I am interested but i doubt i'll actually buy them. That being said, half coils would have to have some modification to make them usable, whereas full coils could be easier to make into earings, albeit larger.
Capitan Xavier you can make the sniper shotgun contraption by removing a single mega dart barrel and put a brass elite barrel in its place for the "sniper" shot and then for the top barrels just drill out the AR and viola you get a shotgun-sniper that still has the capability to fire megas. Please like so Capitan Xavier will see this.
i use 2 double downs in my load out, one is the quiet sneaky blaster, the other is a monster with a 20kg draw and brassed barrels. the ar's never double engage, and they're stock. my local walgreens sells them for $6 a pop, i'm sure you can find them at other local drugstores. the catch easily takes most springs or combos. i can NOT recommend them enough.
The Dual-Strike uses a Longshot PT, or at least something that large. I turned mine into an Elite shotgun, leaving the Mega alone. I might make it into an absolver-type thing.
With the dualstrike. You can't make the AR system shoot 2 then 1, but you could make it shoot 1 then 2. If you leave the first AR in place, it will block air to the 2nd and 3rd barrels, shooting only the first barrel. As the 1st AR is still in place when the first barrel is empty that will redirect air to the 2nd barrel. If you remove the second and third ARs then they will shoot simultaneously. If you were to try to get 2 then 1 by removing the first AR, then the 3rd singled shot will just blast air out of the first barrel because the AR isn't sealing it up, I doubt the 3rd dart would even leave the barrel, and if it did it wouldn't be impressive.
That was what I figured. I know that would work but I want it to fire the top two then the bottom one. I figured it would not work...unless I can rotate the who system so it first the bottom one first...which I would like even better...
equally impossible. However: If you remove the mega section and replace it with a mini absolver (probably 2 maybe 3 shots) you could then select between a single shot at the top and a doubled shot at the bottom. Bonus points for having a mega sAR system spare for nefarious other plots.
pry open the smart ar and double the spring in first barrel to make it shut faster so more air is directed to the second barrel. (good luck) Or Clog some of the air holes in the first barrel to force more air towards the second barrel and carefully enlarge some of the air holes in the second barrel so air can flow more freely trough it. Or Shorten the three smart ar prongs in the first barrel so it closes faster and redirect excess air into the second barrel.
Ive seen how the tri-strike smart ar works, basically when the dart is in it opens valves to change the air direction, and the way it is setup it fires the same order every time. I dont think you can mod it to do what you want as although you can get the top two to fire together by removing one AR on the first barrel so both the second and first get the air. it wouldnt fire the third unless the first tube is plugged. although you could disable the third one, make the first and second one fire together, then make an adapter to fire a single elite out of the mega tube,
I was working on a stryfe 6 months ago and forgot to put the trigger in so I had to take all the screws out just to put them back in and then realize I forgot the mag release I had a few choice words for that situation
The way the smart ar works, the air moves, usually clockwise, from one ar to another. If you removed any ar in the sequence, it would always fire, no matter which one was removed. You could have an airflow shopper built into an extended barrel for the first one in the sequence, then manually switch the airflow to the two other barrels, albeit with a bunch of dead space.
if you want to get more into the inner workings of smart ARs, the engineer guy has a really great video where he goes over exactly how they work. I believe using a triad as an example, which could be relevant to what you were wondering
Your dualstrike idea is pretty easy to do, just take out 2/3 of the the ARs but the one that the that shoots first (load all the barrels and see which one comes out when you fire) and keep that one in. As for the maga barrels you can rebarrel one of them to shoot megas one to shoot rival rounds and the last one can shoot whatever you want (I couldn't think of one). I did not test this but there is a very good chance it will work, if you feel it is necessary test it on a triad. Sorry if it breaks :)
2 Things you could do too the Dual strike. Use the top three barrels as a shot gun, then rebarrel the bottom 3 for Elite darts leaving the Smart ar's intact. OR Leave the top three alone, then rebarrel the megas to fit 2 darts each while keeping the smart AR in tact. Seeing all the crazy cool stuff you do i bet you could find away.
The Dual-Strike... holy balls that plunger tube... I do not believe that it is possible to make the bottom barrel of a smart AR system not fire while the others do at the same time. Without adding some sort of manually activated "break," I don't see how you could hold one barrel back while the other two fire. Personally, I'd thoroughly beef up the air siphon switch and remove the AR's off the top. A mega launched k26 would make a great ranged shot. Someone else mentioned this, and it's a good plan. Also, I find it mighty amusing how much your Black Friday Nerf Haul vid has blown up. Good for you, mate!
Finally, a lock that's worth something in a nerf blaster! The release locking the trigger makes it so you can't accidentally shoot while splitting the two blasters. Very nice. K26 earrings, huh? That would be interesting, although getting it to fasten without being irritating or painful would require a bit of work. As for that last idea, ehh, kinda. If you take out the AR in the last barrel _only_, it'll shoot all three barrels when fully loaded, or shoot full power out of that one barrel if it's the only one loaded.
Has anybody else noticed that the Captain has become steadily more and more unhinged in recent times? But, like, in an entertaining way? Like, he seems a lot more calmer in these older vids
You might be able to cut or drill into both the barrels in the top two, an idea for the brass long barrel, a larger sized end cap with a ramrod built into it to push darts in
On the splitstrike, I believe, you take dremel or whatever tool you have at the time & u drill out first 2 air restrictors & u keep the third then disassemble the blaster & recouple w/ the correct size pvc. (Idk, I'm guessing 1 1/2 inch?)
your question about the dual strike i believe it would not be possible because the air would always go to the top two barrels. This is just a theory from what i know about smart AR
I have an interesting build idea, a dualstrike with as much of a spring upgrade as you can put in it, like im taking every last bit of power you can get out of it then making just the elite portion a 3 shot shotgun, leaving the mega alone or singling it i am sure im not the first to think of this but it is a cool idea to see
etsy page empty. u r truly a craftsman good sir. id love to own any one of those 3 that took the k26 the split strike and dual strike r cool ideas but that one u brassed is the queen of the ball lol looks a little like a starter pistol or flare gun
I would recommend putting the etsy page link in the description of every can it take a K26 vid, you will get more publicity and it will make it easier for people looking for your etsy page.
(Dual Strike) You can make the first one your sniper shot and the second/third dual shot, the Smart AR just couldn't take the pressure of a sealed full tube.
My real job involves sitting at a computer all day so I have plenty of time to reply. Even so I am getting further and further behind on correspondence because there is so much of it now. Back when I had maybe 100 comments combined on all my videos it was easy...
AS for the Double Shot, then single shot on the Smart AR on the Dual Strike.... It would be really easy to make it do all three at once, but it would take some serious tinkering to to two, then one. Maybe source a smart AR from a 2 shot smart AR blaster?
on the doubleshot, I'd make it a 3 shot on the top, then single one of the mega barrels and seal off the other two, so you can keep both loaded and use the switch to swap between them
because of how the Smart AR system works, you can't have a double shot then single on that dual strike. BUT if you remove the second and third ARs from th barrels, keeping the first, the first would be single, the second two simultaneous.
for the dualstrike you could just remove the AR from the elite portion to make a 3 shot shot gun, then pvc and brass the mega barrels to take elites and make them long shot
theoretically, if you drill out the air restrictors of the top 2 barrels of the dual strike, then the smart AR should fire just the first 2, then the 3rd on another prime also, where do you buy your catch springs
Instead of the two shot shotgun on the dual strike, combine the entire elite system into a three shot shotgun, and barrel down the mega barrels to an elite size and keep them single for long range
I'm currently searching for that Doubledown... That design makes me want to mount it to my forearm and 3D print a new lower shell so it can be fired with a thumb ring or something similar... and since it can take a K26, and removing the smart AR... that's a scary surprise for anyone who sneaks up when you're reloading xD. If I get it made and working right, I'll gladly make a second and send it to you... in your colors, of course...
YAY you are getting a chronograph, also any suggestions for Blast Hazard, which if you forgot was a sledgefire mod and any future mod suggestions, excluding a stryfe, I have 2 that are upcoming for the channel
I think it would be easier to close the bottom micro dart barrel, take out the micro dart smart ARs, and then close off two of the mega dart barrels, converting the last one to micro dart. You'd have to switch manually to the single dart, but it would definitely be doable.
I'm pretty sure it would be easy to make the first barrel a sniper barrel and the second two fire at once...but I want the top two to fire and then the lower middle one...for...reasons...
I know how you could do the thing with the dual strike. take out the air restricter in the 2nd barrel OR you could make the mega barrel shoot elite darts and take out the air restricter in the elite barrels that way it will fire all 3 at once and in the mega setting will have sniper status
You should do " How much K26 to break the blaster?". Basically, get blasters like the doubledown and test how much K26 can it withstand before it breaks.
there is a walmart exclusive battle-camo splitstrike, roughcut, firestrike, and stryfe... I am very interested in getting more battle-camo blasters as I already have all the ones listed above
don't think you can do that to the dual strike. unless you could isolate the air release holes or remove just a portion of it. I'll have to tinker with one to be sure.
for the dual strike you could take out the air restrictors for the top 2 ans leave in the bottom, but obviously that would lessen the sniper shots power :(
never mind that wouldnt work because the the one air resricor would still fire, but i have another idea, you could keep in one of the shotgun air restrictors so it would fire the the the air restricted barrel and the non air restricted barrel, and keep the bottom sniper barrel air restricted so after the first shot the 2nd would go off
If you you still had the Crossfire Bow's bow part wouldn't you be able to put a stronger elastic string to push it harder? I did that with mine and it seems to sound louder. The bow part even bends slightly when primed.
The dual strike, LOOK AT THAT DAMN PLUNGER TUBE! Also how in Gods name can the Hyperfire take a k26 but the firefly can't, also also the dual strike is definitely going to be my secondary
I'm quite curious as to what performance out of the duelstrike is like with the two barrels firing at the same time. I'd also love to see what happens when you double load each barrel with a pair of darts cut down to half-length for even more "shotgun" goodness.
It would then always fir the top two at the same time...and would never fire the last one. What I am tempted to do is remove ALL the ARs from the top to make a shotgun effect and then rebarrel the bottom Mega barrel for elite.
Single a dule strike and put in a another spring that is at least above n strike and make a brass barrel that is about 8 inches I made it But did not use brass. It's really good
One thing I think about is the endurance of these blasters once you put the K26 in them. How well do they hold up to the massive spring upgrade over time? I wanna do this to my Dual-Strike but I'm concerned about it's longevity. Will it probably break the plunger head even with some reinforcement with foam padding or something, Cap X? Cheers mate!
btw it's actually safe to remove the last barrel in a smart ar... ...i think, logic says it would be. try it out and you might have improved performance or a weird shotgun.
if it fires all three at once right now could you steal another ar system from another gun that just has two and put it in there? also have you ever considered brassing a plunger tube or something of the like to create a stronger plunge or to guarantee no leaks?
