You were a part of my childhood. Even though I'm a little sad about this, I wish you the best of luck in "mending the hole in your soul". Thank you for everything you've done coop. You will be missed.
An absolute gem in this community. A cornerstone of my childhood. Your legacy will last longer and your impact will be felt farther than you could ever imagine. Godspeed and thank you, Frank
Dude I found this channel when you only had 5k subs. Even at 22yrs old I enjoyed every video through out the years. You put a subtle adult comedy towards the adult viewers and that's what really kept me tuning in every video. I'll miss you man. Best wishes❤️
You've been such an important part of this community, Coop, helping to get a whole new generation of people into the hobby. Including myself. I hope that whatever ventures you take going forward make you happy, and I'll be there to watch whatever it might be.
Goodbye Frank, you have no idea how much you've entertained me, and thousands of others with your content. I hope that your next stage in life will be a thousand times better than this one. We'll miss you, Frank. and remember, stay Tacti-cool.
Been watching you since late 2014/early 2015, and I just wanted to say thank you Coop. You've entertained me from my christmas break in 6th grade to the summer before my Junior year of college. I've bought more blasters than I can count because of your reviews, and you have never led me astray. No matter what you do from here on out, just know that you had a positive impact on me and many others, so one final time, Thank you Coop.
Coop, I can’t even count how many hundreds of dollars you’ve saved me and countless hours of entertainment with your routine, specific, and accurate videos. You will always have a special place in everyone’s heart, I’m talking for everyone here. You will be missed. We’ll all be cheering for you Coop. Enjoy this next chapter of your life, and most of all, remember to stay Tacti-Cool.
yo Danny ive always wanted to see y’all both collab when I was in my nerf phase when I was 8-9. Sad to never see that happen but it’s cool to see you interacting with him.
Didn't expect to see you here, Danny. You, Tommy, Cooper, and other Nerf RU-vidrs were a huge part of my life, and I still look to the people who got me into Nerf in the first place.
Coop, thanks a lot (you were joy and light when I was depressed and alone, and I'm glad we both are doing well). Wherever you go, keep smiling and stay true to yourself. Good luck with this new chapter on your life. See you around.
If I were to be completely honest, I haven’t watched your videos in a long time. In fact, I’m not even into Nerf anymore. But I would watch your videos every single day when I was younger and I even made nerf blaster reviews on my 20 subscriber channel, just wanting to be like you. We all truly appreciate everything you have done for this community and I wish you the best of luck as you enter your next chapter. Thanks for everything bro!
I'm a 45-year-old dad who was just bored of life. Thanks to you, I discovered the pleasure of being a kid again and fell in love with this new passion. Believe it or not, you have helped so much in some many ways and I know i'll be playing with blasters for life. Thanks man! really, from the heart!
This got me in tears, man. I grew up watching Coop. When I was younger, I would watch him almost daily. At some point, I watched every video of his, so I started re-watching all my favorites. But now that I've just gotten a job, I'm becoming more of an adult, and right when I start to grow up, my favorite childhood RU-vidr quits. I love you, Coop, thanks for being a huge part of my childhood.
Same dude. I started watching him at 8 years old or so, and watched everything even if I didn't necessarily understand the mods or jokes. Now, I appreciate how well-done each review is and how nice Coop is to this community I'm now part of. I still turn his videos on in the background sometimes just because his voice has become so familiar and comforting. Thanks Coop, for everything.
This channel has been wonderful and was largely responsible for molding many of us and our hobbies. It's been a pleasure coop, I wish you the best in life and hope that you find what you're looking for.
Coop. I wish I could send more, but I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you so much for the wonderful impact you have had on my life and on others. You got me into my first real hobby, that I still love today. I wish you the absolute best for the rest of your life. Thank you again for ferrying me from middle school to just before moving out for college. May the world give you back the joy you've given us.
The phrase ‘There’s no N-Strike barrel lug’ will remain in my heart forever. You were the one of the OG nerf content creators I watched. Thank you for always putting a smile on our faces.
man I stopped watching you a while ago but seeing this put me on the brink of tears. Watching that montage, seeing you be so happy, and knowing you'll be entering a life where you might be happier and more excited than that is simply incredible to me. We'll all miss you.
I may have stopped foam-flinging a long time ago but that era of my life I will always cherish. You made my day countless of times during that time, and I'd like to thank you for that Frank. You will not be forgotten.
I think for many of us, this has been the main foam flinging channel on RU-vid for many years now. I remember first finding this channel when I just started high school, and now I’m a senior in college. It’s a bit surreal to think it’s going away, but the memories of being excited to see Frank’s reviews on new Nerf blasters will always be with us all. Thank you Frank, and wishing you all the best!
Oh Coop772, the king of Nerf, With every review, he gave us mirth. For years he showed us his collection, And gave us hours of pure perfection. But now he's retired and gone away, And left us with nothing else to say. We'll miss his videos, his humor and wit, And all the joy that he did transmit. Though his channel may be no more, His legacy will forever soar. For Coop772 was more than just a man, He was the Nerf community's biggest fan.
I never send out money like this to RU-vidrs, but you have helped me so much over the years. Binging your new videos the minute I see them on my recommended. You were one of a kind and I appreciate you making an impact on part of my life. A small part, but a significant one my guy! Thank you Coop.
Even though I stopped caring about nerf guns years ago, everyone once in a while one of your videos would pop back up on my feed, and I’d be happy to check in and see how you were doing. I’m glad to see that you’ve been doing well all this time, and I wish you nothing but the best in the future. Much love, man.
Thank you for being an amazing source of entertainment for me and many others. We will miss you greatly but I wish you nothing but the best in your journey ahead!
This guy is so real. He is saying and doing something that most of us wouldn’t do. He is trading fame and money for happiness. Stay real bro. Don’t lose sight of you’re on happiness. Wish you all the best.
I’m a grown man crying right now man. This channel and you helped introduce me to the hobby about 9 years ago now. it’s a sad thing to see you go but I’m happy for you, genuinely. Thank you Coop for bringing joy and amazing videos, I appreciate you a lot. I hope you have an amazing life and hopefully we can keep up with you in some way or another
We’re losing a true RU-vid/Nerf legend today. Coop, thanks for inspiring all of us since our childhoods, I think I speak for everyone when I say you will live on in our warmest memories forever. Godspeed friend!
Goodbye Coop, you've helped in so many ways you can't even imagine. You definitely left your mark in the youtibe community, we're gonna miss you. Godspeed friend, may you find success on your journey ahead.
You're the reason I had amazing Christmas gifts as a child and why I will be able to give my kids a great Christmas gifts. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and I wish you the best in the future!
It's so weird seeing people from our childhoods stop doing what we as the viewer, the listener, the participant, know what you guys do. Its strange seeing others grow as you do. You feel like they'll always be there, never realizing that time eats away at them as much as it eats away at you. Thank you, Coop, for the memories and the memes, and good luck to you. See you around.
You had inspired my 4 year old (now 7) to get into foam flinging with me. It’s something we have a blast doing together in and outside the house. We still watch your vids on older blasters you’ve reviewed. Thank you Frank for helping inspire an awesome pastime my son and I get to share together; moments I will forever cherish. Cannot thank you enough.
Been here since the early 2010’s. I grew up with this channel, goodbye coop. I’ll miss you, thank you for all the good memories. I hope you know how much you meant to me and so many others.
From the UK and absolutely gutted, but happy for you. You entertained and informed me and my now 8year old boy over the last few years and we have bought dozens of blasters off the back of your videos. Take care Frank, and thank you!
Kind of crazy the era we live in. Basically watching people like you grow up through life. Becoming a different person is all a part of life, and I think we're all happy to see you realize your dreams.
I've been watching this man since elementary school, and now I'm about to head off to college. Truely one of the most professional, insightful yet entertaining people on this platform. You helped me get through some rough parts of my childhood, and I wish you the best of luck, wherever you go. You'll do great.
Goodbye frank :) - this channel has been a very special part of my life for a very long time now and its sad that it's over now, but looking back at all the memories and the great things that this channel has given so many of us is something truly magical, and all from our once small hobby of flinging foam darts at each other. Thank you for all the memories frank :)
About 6 years ago I was in middle school. I had switched from private to public school, my aunt had died, and my parents had gotten divorced. As an autistic kid it was difficult to make friends, everything sorta came together into a stew of depression. I stopped going outside and turned online, and after a while I found this channel. It really did introduce me to nerf as a hobby, it got me active, it got me outside and it got me socializing. I do pin that on you. I do think I would be in a noticeably worse position now if it wasn't for this channel. Thank you, and best of luck in any future endeavors you may pursue.
As a kid just a few years ago or so, I absolutely loved you and your content. Your humor, honest reviews and oversized hands will always have a special place for me.
One thing I can tell you coop, is that you've made the world a better place through this channel. You've made many people's days and introduced many people (including myself) to this silly little toy gun hobby that we love! Good luck on your Future endeavors!
Hey Coop, I’ve followed your channel for years and had ever commented on a single one of the videos; but want to say thanks for everything you have done all these years. Really sad to see you go, but yet I’m glad to see you exit at a time and with a way of your choosing. All the best, and perhaps post a vid or two in the years ahead to keep us posted on how you get on? Stay well, man..
Farewell and godspeed, Frank. I've been watching your videos for over 10 years, and you've definitely helped my foam flinging hobby go in a better direction. Fair winds wherever the breeze takes you, friend! 🫡
goodbye coop, you made my and a lot of other peoples childhoods a lot better. I hope the channel and all videos still stay up for a trip down memory lane someday. i wish you the best man 💜
The end of an OG. I remember when I was watching you since 8 years old. I'm fifteen at the time of watching this. You have inspired so many people and brought out the kid in so many. Thank you. Godspeed bro. Live long.
I haven’t touched this channel in probably a year or so and that does make me a bit sad because even if I felt I was sick of nerf blasters I don’t know how I could ever be sick of his content and the way he created it. The art of content creation is not for the faint of heart and I can see the work and soul put into everything he does on this channel which is incredible because it’s only about foam flinging blasters but his heart was in it. Whatever he does next will be even more amazing because his heart is strong from this already.
You played a major role in my childhood, you will never be forgotten. May the wind be at your back, to the start of a new day, and a new era. Good luck, Frank.
Thank you for literally everything you've given us, from the strange and bizarre, to the professionalism you brought to 100% of of your content, the dart fire rate challenges, wild skits, serious reviews, consistent formats, everything. As much as this channel made a difference for your life, you left an impression on us. Thank you
Thank you so much for EVERYTHING COOP!!! We are truly going to miss you on this channel! You were one of the very first Nerf Channels that I started to watch back in 2011! Since then , I have enjoyed all the videos I watched on your channel till this day! I wish you nothing but the best for yourself, your career, and of course...your valuable life! Stay Tacticool Coop! Much Love from myself and everyone that you made a HUGE impact on!!!
This genuinely almost made me cry, thank you for inviting us all into the foam flinging family. You will hold a place in all our hearts, stay tacticool. Stay. Tacticool.
The gratitude I have for this man is immense. What was a hobby for him became an integral part of his life and I share that sentiment. I remember when I was in a dark time in my life, and watching Frank’s videos gave me the escape I needed to work on myself. I’m proud to be known as a Foam Flinger, and a longtime viewer of Coop’s videos. Thank you for all you have done for this hobby and those who enjoy it just as much as you do Coop. May you find that incredible new chapter in your life and find success in all you do. Thank you for this adventure you took us on. It really was a Foam Flinging Blast!!!
Outside of flinging foam with my family at events, like Christmas, I was never really into Nerf. That being said, I have watched your content since I was in middle school, and I am now 26. Man how the years of passed. Your content was always a blast to watch both for the knowledge you shared and the laughter you brought. I hop through your faith, friends, and family your life will be full of joy and laughter like you brought your viewers for so many years! Godspeed to you Coop in your life and all of your future endeavors! Stay blessed friend.
I remember watching a few of this guys videos I watched a few years ago. It's sad he's leaving, but he sure made a mark on this platform. May you have a awesome life my friend! 👍
As I reflect on your decision to retire from RU-vid, I am filled with a profound sense of gratitude and nostalgia. You have been an integral part of my childhood, and through your captivating content, you not only entertained but also inspired an entire generation in the art of foam flinging. Your dedication to showcasing Nerf blasters and their modifications has left an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of enthusiasts young and old. You were more than just a RU-vidr; you became a mentor, a beacon of creativity, and a trusted companion. Your videos provided countless hours of joy and excitement, transporting us to imaginative battlefields and sparking our own ideas for epic Nerf wars. Your passion was contagious, fueling our own desire to push the boundaries of foam warfare. As you transition into a new chapter of your life, please know that your influence will not fade away. Your legacy will endure, and the memories created through your videos will be cherished by fans like me for years to come. Thank you, Coop772, for your dedication, your energy, and the impact you have had on so many lives. You will be remembered fondly, and your absence will be felt. I will miss you, but I am grateful for the incredible journey you have taken us on. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors. -Stay tacticool❤
Frank, for the past 6 years my buddy and I have watched literally ALL of your Nerf reviews, skits, and dart challenges. From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to thank you for the many, many years of hard work you’ve put into this channel. Not only just for our little nerf community, but RU-vid as a whole. You have brought so much joy and childlike bliss to this platform and we will forever be in debt to you. Good luck on this next chapter of your life. We love you and, we’ll never forget you Captain Coop 🫡❤️
Such a shame to lose another one of the great RU-vid Franks, I remember 12 years ago after getting my clear recon from target I looked up a video about it and found Coop’s channel. For years this guy and his channel were THE place for all nerf and dart blaster reviews, if you wanted to know about it? He had a detailed video for you on it. I’m glad he’s stepping away to focus on himself because he has provided the nerf community with a long lasting legacy as one of the best in the game. I wish you luck on your future endeavors my friend, thank you for memories and content you’ve provided us along the way.
Wow…. I don’t know how to feel. This channel was a staple of my childhood, and whilst I too eventually moved on from foam-flinging as a hobby I always found enjoyment and nostalgia in this channel. I would watch Coop when I was happy and when I needed to cheer up and it helped me every single time I needed it to. Thanks for everything Coop….. good luck in your next chapter ❤
Not gonna lie, my heart is broken and, as I sit here, I’m actually crying my eyes out! This honestly feels like the death of a loved one! 😭😭😭 I’m gonna miss you _so much_ Coop; you’ve been a genuine light in my life, for so long, keeping me smiling when my own despair/depression has been trying to push me over the edge! I wish you well, and look forward to anything we may get to see in the future… Please know that you are genuinely, and in so many meanings of the word, *_LOVED!_* ❤️ Yours most sincerely, From here in Nottingham, England, Steph Sermon xxx 💔🥺😢😭💔
I know this is a shame, but at the same time I’m glad it went this way. No allegations or controversy, no fade into obscurity and desperate cries for attention, no tragic death, no arrest or criminal charges, just Frank respectfully and calmly retiring. It’s refreshing in a way to see one of my favorite RU-vidrs from when I was younger get a peaceful and dignified retirement. Have a good rest of your life, Frank. We’ll all cherish the memories of this channel.
Coop has been the tacti-coolest dude around for so long and has reached so many people. It feels like over half my life has been spent knowing that you're on here making your stuff, inspiring, informing and making people laugh. Good on you man!!
This man is the ONLY reason I knew NERF existed. I actually shed a tear when I realised this wasn't a joke. Coop's videos helped me understand NERF, but the jokes every now and then helped me when I was down. Coop's channel will forever have a place in the NERF community.
Through elementary school to now, I'm in my freshman year of Uni, you have done nothing but entertain me and introduce me to the wider world of this amazing community. I've seen this entire hobby go from stock nerf blasters, to basic mods and paintjobs, to the now enthusiast grade stuff, Rival, Out of Darts, and so much more amazing stuff be created. We are going to miss you Coop, and may you forever stay Tacti-Cool
I never comment on RU-vid videos, but as a long-time viewer of this channel, I feel it's my duty. From the bottom of my heart, thanks for everything, Coop. You were my go-to guy for honest reviews and peak foam flinging entertainment. Thank you for being you, the community won't be the same without you. Goodbye Coop, I wish you nothing but the best in whatever you do next. Stay Tacti-cool.
It's sad to see another RU-vidr go, especially one originating from an era where people made videos on what interested them and not what appealed best to the algorithm. Truly one of the old RU-vid GOATs of all time. Oh yeah, and remember to stay tacti-cool, wherever you go bros!
