I can definitely see this guy going far as a creator, if he keeps this up he might be able to create something that can really affect he nerfing community.
This channel is on fire! To the moon and beyond! Suggestions: - Use a fan when soldering, the smokey is bad for lungey - Twist the wires together before soldering, makes it a lot easier and more durable - Try making the main body resemble that of a Remington 700, I think the barrel is just the right length! - Carve an extra piece for a cheek rest - Try your hands at making a traditional trigger, for example glue two more pieces of wood onto a trigger area, and build the trigger assembly inbetween. I believe you can use a microswitch too for saving space! - Stay awesome! :)
Bro this is amazing, I really like the unique style you bring to your videos, and the unique blasters you cover! It’s insane how you’ve managed to create an amazing, successful channel in only two months! Keep up the great work dude!
There are these things called solder seal wire connectors that you put the 2 wires in and use a lighter. It also provides insulation and makes soldering especially small wires much easier.
U can use a water bottle for higher pressures although idk if u wanna keep the blast valve, also u can use two ninevolts in series to activate the solenoid
I knew pretty early on that you'd upgrade the valve. However, I think it would be fun taking apart the rocket's valve to see how it works then making your own custom dump valve based on the rocket's valve. That way you are being true to the rocket by using its mechanism, albeit remade for more power. Edit: But do what you want. I'm just obsessed with triggers, valves, and mechanisms in general.
imagine 3D printed parts so it would look like a nerf blaster, or maybe getting a nerf blaster and modifying the shell to fit these components. i also suggest posting short clips of your modified nerf blasters on other platforms, your work needs to be shown 💯💯💯
when you finish all the mechanics of it it would be so cool if you could make it to look like a musket, considering all the labor you gotta put into to fire a single shot
@@mattie_y Lovely i just discovered your chanel and i got so engaged, ur chanel is actual good content, and i myself am not a nerf enthusiast keep it up dud ur amazing :)
i havent had any interest in nerf for years. these vids are great matt. looking forward to even bigger production value content also the smoke from the solder is the flux burning off
If you need 12v and decent amperage, I'd highly recommend airsoft batteries. Fully charged, "9.6v" NIMHs actually give 12v, and I doubt this kind of purpose would ever drain them. I would still check with a more electrically inclined person to be sure about safety though- if it's just a coil in there that consistently resists, then it should be fine. But I'd still put a fuse in the circuit to be safe.
The fucking grater stock 😂oh my god that’s hilarious. Honestly, if the blaster could fire like mega darts or something they might fit in those holes as an ammo holder! Also, kudos to you for recognizing the dangers and dropping immediately. Air pump tanks are scary to mod with.
Love your content!You could try using a drain blaster or maybe make a small tank using steel pipes then you just need to conect it to the solenoid valve.
I absolutely loved your vids, they remind me of the videos I used to watch as a child of diy ideas and I love your editing, your humor and all around everything! Keep up the great work!! I see your channel doing great!
You remind me a lot of when Michael reeves was starting out. Also, it may be beneficial to follow a template when cut out the frame again. And it may be a touch safer if you can move the tank away from your face.
At some point you should use a small servo for a similar pneumatic project and make the pump smaller but build up over more smaller pumps. Just have it constantly pressurized
When you modded the nerf longshot, how heavy was the stock spring, bc the stock fps for you was 38, but for my stock one it was already about 50. My stock spring seems to be about 4.5kg, maybe the older version is 2.5?
@@mattie_y Tips if you do: -DO NOT UNDERCHARGE OR OVERCHARGE : Low voltage protection and the correct charger (balance charger) as well as charging bags (Hobbygrade 3S lipos are 11.1V nominal and 12.6V peak and can be had in a protective plastic outer case) -Do not reverse polarity/short circuit : They can dump all their power at once -DO NOT PUNCTURE: Goes for any batttery -Keep away from excessive cold (sub freezing) and heat (55C and up 130F): Goes for most batteries really -If battery swells "Forbidden capri sun" "spicey pillow" Dispose properly immidiately : Hobbyshops often have battery return options as do your local recycling center. You dont want to have your trash on fire
nice channel, never had a nerf blaster thingy, but i like to watch! ;p and.. it really doesent matter, if you do something wrong! but at the moment you begin to cut out these stuff, it gets boring! so thank you, for let us see! its entertaining!
If the release is before the "tank" the air is only being compressed and stored inside the line that goes from the pump to the release. I made a Extremely powerfull one by using a used mini fire extinguisher as a tank with a bike air valve to use it as an air tank. from there a line to the release valve and another line to the barrel. The thing is an ABSOLUTE BEAST. But bear in mind that there is a threshold between max usable power and the point where darts are completely destroyed. This can be pushed way further by using rival rounds though.
