Nerf Bullpup Retaliator - Build, Internals & Firing 

Oh yes, there will be internal upgrades...someday...

why don't u put a lingshot plunger tube in the retaliater.

Captain Xavier is the stock still a recon or is it different

It is different. The socket is from a recon stock, but the butt plate is custom made.

Captain Xavier from what

Thanks!

justajolt just a jolt I love your channel

Atlantanspenguins Thanks! It loves you ^_^ Seriously, I love making the vids! I'm glad you enjoy them.

You should try to make another worlds smallest electric nerf gun, but use epoxy putty and paint it

justajolt Leeds is a dump. You should move to Brighton

It’s not that complicated

Yeah, this was my first attempt at using epoxy putty. The first round did not go well. I ended up taking it back apart to fix a few things.

Blast! I used to have a whole bin of those but I donated them all to an HvZ club to sell.

+Daltonator 72 with the mods I put in it "barrel drag" is negligable. Amd frankly I think "barrel drag" is overestimated anyway. As for bullpups being short, it is still shorter than a Rampage or Retaliator (with barrel).

Captain Xavier huh I didn't think it was shorter than those blasters. Well that's good to know. You have now mastered the bullpup design.

I have seen it, it is very nice. :D It is in my shop in fact...not quite finished...

Captain Xavier send me sneaky pics since he won't allow me to see it yet. :P

And taint your excitement with images of a half finished product? Certainly not! :P

Gah! Useless!

just listening in on yall dont mind me

For aesthetic reasons I wish to avoid a pistol grip, however, should I change that stance I would totally go with a Triad!

I would, when I get around to doing the internals upgrades in the future.

Lord Wolfo or a brass barel

Yeah... have fun trying to fit a LS plunger tube in a dang Retaliator. It at least needs the Worker expanded one and about 10" of brass though. And a K26 /s, at least an OMW 7KG

Now that Appollos are a dime a dozen, those have the same tube and , you don't kill a longshot

Thanks!

LightningEagle14 Everyone says that. I have never chrono'd to see the exact effects. I'm sure someone has.

Yeah it wouldn't be that hard to do

Thanks!

It was fun. I will be doing more. Already have people requesting commissions for stuff like this.

Captain Xavier you should make a flywheel elite alpha trooper with hypefire internals please

Sean FromEdwards it was very bent. It was buggibg the heck out of me. Yesterday I took it back apart and fix it. :)

I am currently just using Microsoft Movie maker. So far it is able to do everything I need. I am filming using a flexible phone mount attached to the rafters of my shop so it is filing straight down. I then have a mic since people were complaining about the audio quality.

Me too! High on the list is a Bullpup Rapidstrike. Then I will have a pump action, semi-auto, and full auto Bullpup. Just to complete the set. :D

hmmm...

Captain Xavier yes please!

or did you use a metal bar

Yeah, I used a steel rod.

Please don't use that phrase. It is deeping disrespectful and carries truly horrific connotations.

That is a thing? O.o That would be awesome! Assuming the internal mods I made wouldn't screw it up... Worth looking into, thanks!

Captain Xavier Welcome, thanks for considering it.😀

Matthias Troester It is on the list.

cool

Keep practicing! :D

I did. I just didn't do an update video because it did not seem...interesting enough...

Thanks. I knew the big one was the Barrel Break but was not sure what the small one was from.

Captain Xavier where did you get or what did you make the pump grip from

The rail attachments do not connect strong enough to prime with. If I added picatinny rail and got a proper fore-grip it would work. But I didn't want that kind of a grip.

There is no reason you cannot...eventually. It was a fairly complex build but not impossible...obviously.

Captain Xavier yeah but as an 11 year old it's hard but then again building a strayven so....

Thanks

Captain Xavier what did u use to connect the triggers

I do not have any upgrades in it at this time. I definitely plan to upgrade it in the future.

i wouldn't use copper, its heavy as hell and frow what ive heard doesn't really work as a barrel material.

Time will tell. Thanks!

omg he spoke to me!!!!!!!! *girly scream*

People keep saying that. Sadly it will not fit with the internal mods I made. I wish.

Thanks!

The recons mag release does not even exist anymore. It was cut off....but that would have been awesome...if a pain in the butt to actually make work. And I already own a Rayven so... :P

I worked it out once...I cannot recall. It was not cheap given how many blasters went into it.

Captain Xavier I can bet Over 140 for sure (assuming profit was included)

"cerving" is not a word... also, I did an second video in which I show that I fixed the alignment...

"Bullpup" just means the action is behind the handle instead of in front. There are two possible purposes for this. One, as you say, is to allow for a short overall design. Good for close quarters and concealment. The other, however, is to all for a long barrel without increasing the length of the gun. Longer barrels are more accurate but long guns are cumbersome. But moving the action back into the stock you can increase the barrel length without increasing the overall length of the weapon. This blaster is shorter than a Recon/Retaliator, or Alphatrooper so it does still meet the first option.

+marines rule watch the update video, I fix it.

Probably

I ended up replacing it with a Roughcut pump grip. Much nicer.

+SuperRinocicorn Bistro I use Oatey's fixit stick and while it should be able to hold I don't trust it and always reinforce with screws.

Captain Xavier Okay, thanks very much!

I did not...I did right correctly? :P

Captain Xavier lol I'm not good at explaining, back to the drawing board. thank you though 😊

I might. Not sure how much effort I want to put into making it optimal. I plan to build other much more optimal blasters. This one was for fun and to test my skills at body modding.

I'm pretty sure I covered all the parts in the video...

It might...I would have to try.

Callum Parkin-Jones I will given time. But I don't mind. Givesnit character.

Do you use rattle cans, airbrush or acyrillics?

Rattle can for the body and accents. Model paint for the detailing.

Why wouldn't I see it? I get notified of all new comments no matter how old the video. Anyway, it is just an ordinary mild steel rod. I don't remember the exact diameter but enough to not bend when firing.

@@CaptainXavier Thanks Cap!

You can! It is just a pain in the butt...

Right? I do look forward to putting some upgrades in it.

It is sort of my thing. :D

The easiest way is to watch the update video...in which I corrected this issue...

yeah i actually ended up watching that video right after this. do you have any tips on how to keep everything straight? i was thinking one could build some kind of jig to help with this?

That would probably work. Sadly I don't have a second guardian pump at this time. I am going to try some other options as soon as the parts arrive.

It is a steel rod.

+London B me too! :D

Sadly the metal linkage between the front and rear trigger prevent the kit from fitting. :(

WalcomS7 still has more variety than I do. I would like to get my hands on a Panther though, for fun.

It is, in fact, possible to grow as a person. :)
