My First FDL-3 Nerf War Gameplay 

You merely joined the flywheel masterrace, i was born in it, moulded by it.

Omg the little kid with the Nemesis I can’t 🤣

I almost flipped out when the FDL Facebook page showed a purple FDL-3 for "Bradley". I knew who it was for.

Fun to see you rocking something different, looking forward to seeing you get more and more acclimated to playing with flywheel blasters :)

Day 1 of waiting for Nerf Jolt gameplay

Close range is your ally. With an FDL 3 you’ll be able to trample over any springer in shorter range. Rushing with a flywheeler can also be extremely effective. Close the distance make them panic.

Blaster's sound is so pretty. Sound of enemy death

Hmm, you're using the fdl as if it's a springer/sniper. Most people use it as a shotgun/autorifle, where you close the distance by dodging/weaving at speed and then unload in full-auto or 3 round bursts when the other is in range. Having a mag at the ready in your stock helps the quick reloads as well as jungle taping mags together in twos. But yeah, flywheelers do play different from springers

I think you need to load those mags in your holster the other direction haha. Good to have you back!

I wanna offer some editing critique, similar I gave to Aldoss. Show, don't tell... unless you absolutely have to. At 1:53 you're explaining what IS happening on screen, it takes the viewer out of the moment, breaks the flow of the action also the setup & payoff of tension. The only info the viewer needed was that the players across the way are teammates and you were going to synchronize your attack. To indicate they are your team add a quick and small "Red team" arrow above their heads, like you see in battlefield. If the audio of your teammate was too low, add a quick subtitle for the most important information. Novritsch does this too and not just for translations. Also when he does do voice overs it's concise, with as few words, and as understandably quick as possible. Next when you shoot the first guy, you slow down the framerate and add a hit indicator. We physically see the hit and the indicator tells us it counted, so voice over is redundant and unnecessary. Don't over use or over stretch slowmo. As a rule of thumb I don't slow down a framerate below 24fps. Here you're using 60fps recording at 4x slow and the resulting 15fps is choppy. 30fps can definitely do in a 60fps project and it looks smooth but this is too far. And if you think about it, showing the same frame 4 times doesn't add more information back into the scene. Slowmo is used to make fast objects perceivable, even if you can record 120 or 240fps, if the fast objects moves too slow then it loses the sense of speed. The same can be said about over using slowmo, if there is too much peeps get bored. So my other rule is only use slowmo on darts that hit or when it necessary because the scene is so hectic. In this shootout, from the first tag to missing Ashley, it takes 16 seconds and doesn't feel like a desperate shootout. Though that might also be because it's 4x and not 2x. However the next guy you shoot in the foot, slowing all the missed shots wasn't needs and it's another 16 seconds of wait for the scene to play out. Hope this made sense and was helpful maybe. You've got clear footage of good gameplay and I see the effort you put in, just want it to be as good as possible so I'm excited to watch it. Editing is the hardest part. You gotta cut the fat and kill your creative babies; let go and get out of the way for the story, it's where soul and style of a video is forged. Hope to see more awesome Brad. -Justin

Don’t treat it like a springer, you have to play super aggressively. Don’t trade shots with springers. Run at them in strange patterns so they can’t lead their shots on you.

Awesome video bro. But springers are number one. I personally don't like flywheel but to it's cool your using something different.

Pro tip....go back to springers! ;p jk. Great vid.

Less stalking, more IMT. While the FDL may be about as accurate as flywheel blasters get, you're probably going to lose at stand off distances against an accurized spring air the majority of the time against anyone who is a decent shot, or you'll run out of darts trying to lay down suppressive fire at longer ranges. You'll have to move a lot more with a flywheel set up and will probably want to switch to a reflex/red dot sight for quicker target acquisition.

Great video man! As some have said already, closing that engagement range to about 65f-75ft is the sweet spot for the blaster. 100+ are difficult and heavily dependant on wind conditions. But man it's great to see how accurate this can be in your hands, cheers!

2:13 the kids face

FDL3 "adult" - vs - Triad kid. Is this overkill still entertaining? :-)

Nice vid! How many FPS is your FDL-3 shooting? I'm trying to figure out what the effective range of it is.

I swear every time there is a little kid, they have either a nemesis or prometheus

I like your HUD design. Do you mind sharing how it was made?

Nice video! Can you please make a tutorial on how to make your krono fire? I really want to make one just like yours. I prefer the single top loading to the mag fed for a few reasons.

Awesome commentary. I find myself missing the pro status sniper shots with the Longshot/Xzues2 though.

Kid with the nemesis seemed like he was having a total blast

Also I like the new commentary on these films

You might want to focus on trigger discipline a bit. Using flywheelers makes it easy to mag dump, but that's almost never the best tactic. Great video, I'm excited to see more FDL footage in the future.

That was awesome, you make amazing gameplay videos Bradley

I wish I had a FDL they are so cool and powerful.

Maybe use this Fdl then use a adventure force pro aeon for the longer range shots it is a spring pistol that does like 150 FPS. There is a rifle that shoots 160 FPS called the nexus pro but you can change the back plate on the rear to put a spacer on the spring get an instant 175 FPS average then putting a 1 foot brass barrel gets you over 200 FPS and they are super accurate half length darts they come with

You make such great videos. Another great one, keep it up!

He Shot a guy In the foot.

You are still good with the fdl

pause at 2:12

Things a monster in the middle range

Does the sight really help your aiming?

Are you picking up the darts after game?

Hi Brad. Is there any way of muting the noise made by the flywheels - they sound a bit like an air raid siren, which has to be a dead give away about the user's location?

You can buy refill for those ?

I’m currently looking into getting a Ceda, (not the model s) but I just like using flywheel blasters, is there a good pre-assembled half length dart flywheeler for under $70? ( this will be my first half length dart blaster)

How much is a FDL 3? I can' even see the price on the site as they are not taking orders at the moment.

Do u just lose your mags and darts?

Will a adapter work with this?

What were those darts?

I can’t afford a fdl3 is the regulator good?

Have you seen the worker katanas?!!?

Is that glenunga international high school?

Does the FDL-3 have better accuracy, range, and spin up time than the MHP 15?

I'm surprised you haven't moved on to HPA yet. I think you would benefit from this.

Hey I was wondering where I can find that dump pouch you used in the Nerf war

I thought nerf is for people who don’t want to take the risk of taking a hit with a air soft bullet

Hey can you go over your three presets, like 1,2 & full auto, rof, power setting, max and min speed please. Trying to master my fdl's settings

Next time there’s a longshot user just run in a serpentine pattern XD will tooottallly work

Are you coming towards Perth any time soon?

This is Australia's airsoft

How would you compare the performance to the MHP 15?

who cleans the dart on the ground?

That's my boy Max, aka Little Man!!!

Could i have a link to the facebook page? For the wars i mean.

how do you buy fdl-3

Sweeeeeeeeeet

FDL 3 or your longshot

Great video! I guess you`re a springer peasant?:D

Wtf who plays nerf wars if your 20
