Hey I just noticed the new Chronograph Line, and I think it is a great addition to the Chrono results! You can compare very easily, with a visual image, to other blasters on the market. That’s pretty rad!
Do note that the Gryphon is extremely customizable with body kits, alternate flywheel setups and even solenoids and full-auto or select-fire kits! All you need is a printer and a dream. It's the Stryfe of 3D-printed blasters. Edit: I also personally wouldn't recommend buying it off Frontline Foam if you have your own printer. It's an open-source blaster and uses pretty easy-to-find metric hardware.
The variations in the Gryphon are great! I found the original design to have a few things that could be improved though. I’d check some of those things out. Oh, and the motors and wheels aren’t super easy to come by and getting alignments right can take a bit of tweaking.
Wanted to say Coop, you were my gateway into the community and I was able to really get into modding at a time where there were very few people to play with and very little reason to do it other than the reward of the task itself. To see a blaster I've designed featured by you and well regarded is surreal to say the least. Those design decisions that you liked, such as the ambi and firing hand operable mag release, or the way that designing a buffer tube stock despite the challenge of fitting a battery inside tickled my tacticool conditioning, I'd have to say that you yourself are part of what spawned this!
I wanted to say to you flygonial that you were the one who pushed me to fully overhaul my first nerf blaster. You replied to my question on MTBs rapidstrike mod guide and it was what pushed me to do a full lipo mod instead of using IMRs. I also didn't have anywhere to use it, so I eventually lost interest in the hobby until recently. Arriving as a freshman on my campus, I found that they did HvZ, so for the first time in 6 years, my old rapidstrike saw action, and it performed beautifully. Thank you for your contributions to this hobby.
@@fatshpee7174 That's sick, no other words for it. I've not had many people to play with for a while during my involvement in the hobby to the point where a lot of the modding itself was the fun itself. Of course, I know many people get a lot more satisfaction out of playing, and I'm glad to hear your blaster performed well. I've not been as active in the hobby in part because of school but also because I've picked up another hobby. That flywheel auto-shotgun is something I still want to work on ahaha.
Printed one and absolutely love it. It’s run for about 2 years without a hiccup. It’s significantly more sturdy than everything else I’ve printed with the exception of the Meowser
i like the new target, gives a better visualization of the spread. It would be funny if you loaded it up with elite darts and every single one missed the target.
Hey coop could you start including the length of blasters in your vids because your size tends to make the gun seem a lot smaller that it is to us normies😅
The Nailbiter was the most shocking example of this for me, saw his review then saw it in stores... He is a large person lol, he makes that thing seem like it was normal sized when in fact it's huge. In short, I agree
Yo dudebro, with all the super stock and half dart blasters nowadays (loved the graphed fps comparison) could you make a video going over the different classes of blasters? Similar to your series/dart overviews, bc with the different levels of fps and now different dart types it can get confusing. Loving the minor changed you've made to keep the channel fresh!
I have made 3 gryphons and they are the most used blasters I have. Consistent accurate and really fun. The trigger feels good because it is a rack and pinion, gives it a nice feel and snappy response.
Really glad that the format stays the same and the energy is on a whole new level! It shows that it payed off to do what you like instead of having to be disappointed in Elite 2.0! Good on you!
I love the couple additions to the review this new year! Adding the human sized target and comparison chart for other blasters in similar FPS ranges is super helpful to get a more accurate representation of the blaster. Thank you coop!
It's nice to see products for sale that have variable FPS figures. Sometimes it's hard to find blasters in the range above "70 FPS Elite" and below "200 FPS indoor injury machine" for sort of "casual+" play.
When built yourself, the Gryphon could probably be set up for anything between 90 FPS and almost 300 FPS, the lowest being if you used stock Stryfe wheels with 43.5mm spacing and shot half-lengths (which get lower FPS per same set-up). Though this is a tangent, thanks to neat tricks and new tech, I saw the practical limit of that FPS cap average go from 210-220 FPS when I first designed the blaster (with two-stage Daybreak) to 240-250 (wide bore and even tighter or staggered crush), to about 290-300 now with Banned Blasters' wheels.
“My little nut came out” -Coop 2023. Hats off to you dude bro. You give the best reviews and advice regarding blasters! I’m 16 and still play with them even though my parents hate them 😂
It's truly amazing how far the homemade blaster world has come. It's crazy to believe that when I started playing nerf all we had was the old yellow N strike line . So bad that we resulted to making our own PVC blasters(NIC) . And I'm glad to know that people are still making there own blasters. Great vid coop!
Quick question since you said the Worker Gen3s are your current half length dart of choice: How do they compare to the Dart Zone Ember, Ruby, and Bamboo darts in terms of durability, velocity, accuracy, and all those other specs? And do they also work well in springers like the Nexus and Stryker? Heck, if that's too much to answer in a comment, why not make a video comparing the various half lengths since they're gradually becoming more mainstream?
Gen3 work very well in compression barrel springers, like the nexus, because they have a smaller head. I've had no issues with them in my slab and they have a very sturdy foam, that takes abuse well. However, I cant compare them to Namboos or Rubies, as I dont own those darts.
Gen3+ are the best all-round. Definitely the best in springers. Second to the Worker Bamboo gen3+s. Those are even better. But in flywheelers, Chilli or SureShot darts give an FPS boost and an accuracy boost. However total distance is a hair less.
Two things that Coop left out are a dual-stage setup, upping the muzzle velocity to 200fps, and the fact that the different parts are just swapped between the different versions, so the full-length mag well and the dual-stage flywheels will lengthen the blaster an inch or two each.
3 types of people 1. Someone with billions of darts and basically every nerf gun (King kousky, coop772, etc) 2. Someone with a decent amount of darts with a good amount of guns 3. Someone with like 2 darts left and the rest are all across the abyss of your home and as like 3 guns
350 FPS with the proper flywheel cage and darts Also dart zone mags work with the katana style Magwell I don't know if there's an option to get from front-line foam but if you're printing your own you can
Hey, I have a review recommendation. I heard that the new nerf storm charge is competing with the stryfe (in terms in which us better) I heard the grip is really good and the ergonomics are very good. (Its basically a stryfe reskin) Anyways I think that a review on that blaster would be really cool. Have an awesome day.
He said, "Are your friends firing the same FPS?" I chuckled a little, man, f them kids! They wanted to play, so you bring out them gryphons! i run mine no stock, battery tray to the right with sling point. I use distinct industries UMP muzzle with faux suppressor and a nubby grip just in front of the magwell. By far the most fun I've had terrorizing the neighbor kids. Good Video, awesome presentation.
Scottish player here. I have 4 Gryphon blasters, all from Fancy Impact Blasters (UK) 100fps, full length, thumbhole stock / 130fps, half length, thumbhole stock/ 2x 130fps, half length, pistol form. I love the slim form factor, and highly customisable nature of it. Yes, they are not cheap, and each one is an investment if you don't have a 3d printer, but I'd still pick the gryphon over having to aftermarket mod a big brand blaster. I'd even go so far as to say I would sell my Worker Swift and get a dual-cage 250fps model.
Me and my friends are into CQC (Close quarter combat) nerf battles so I want to know what guns and add on's are good for CQC like the ps 50, the uzi M16 and other assault nerf guns, snipers and shot guns as well if you can make a video about then that would be sweet (note we go into buildings for the battles like swat and tactical operations)
They just released a Minecraft sword and some DnD blasters. I’m really hoping the sword is good and safe enough to use. Also I’m eager to see if you think the crossbow with tail is comfortable for adults.
I absolutely love these videos I've been watching for 3 years now and I'm starting to getting into modding and your chanel covers everything so thanksl u and I hope u stay my favourite youtuber intill I die
