Sillybutts Cynthia - Bolt Action Nerf Blaster - Review and Test 

:)

oof

He really is.

I love your work!

We basically don't need the Nerf company anymore because our hobbist-made blasters are getting so good!

Correct!

;)

Someone has already made a full top rail version iirc, idk if they’ve uploaded their files though. The bolt action style is based on the Indra by captain slug, but I’ve massively improved the catch and trigger mechanism.

:)

Same for me, I'm right handed and using my off hand to prime while my primary hand doesn't leave the grip feels much more natural so I always put bolts on the left side when possible

Thinking about it more, for me that might be because I really enjoy first person shooters, where bolts are generally placed to the left to add visual interest

Chrono is broken.

His setup should be hitting somewhere around 170 iirc. The blaster can be configured from 120-240 fps depending on spring and barrel length, and ram o-rings.

I have no idea. I don't have a Talon claw with the same spring load to compare it to. But it shouldn't provide any mechanical advantage as it is not providing any leverage. However, the location might result in muscular advantage depending on your form when priming. If you raise your elbow when you prime, you would transfer the load to your shoulder instead of your bicep (the same is true when drawing a bow). That would make a difference with heavier spring loads.

@@CaptainXavier yes, biological mechanical advantage. For example, a skewer's prime feels much lighter than a TV because of how your muscles are used. With bolt action, it's a bicep curl which is a mechanical advantage over pump action. I wonder if it's possible to load heavier springs and make a baby sniper rifle.

I would be very dubious of the Cunthia's structural integrity under heavier spring loads. I would want to see several things reinforced before I would trust it.

@@CaptainXavier Cynthia is not meant for anything above k25, but I did use an X1 Lynx spring from Silverfox for stress testing during development. It handled it fine.

I’ll consider that in the next update!

@@Sillybutts maybe have metal rods go through the rails to support the hinge so it remains stable when folded open and have a slightly simpeler way to have it work and have them be usable on the made/delivered rails although it can mean the distance might be further

Seems so, I believe he actually does this during the video.

Yes.

Yep

😂😂😂

Yep! Needs a different thinner plunger rod that’s in the fileset.

No fipps for you!

@@CaptainXavier Gibs mee da fipps!!

What?

@@CaptainXavier just being on the left hand side of the blaster, so you prime with your firing hand

Most bolt action rifles have the bolt on the right side. This one has it on the left because I am left-handed.

Yes. He talks about it at 4:00. His was custom made from Out of Darts. They mirrored the two parts.

@@Si-Fi.51 yeah, I saw that part. I left my comment while he spent forever shooting bottles

@@keilafleischbein59 Sorry. I don't follow. You saw that part after you commented?

@@Si-Fi.51 yeah

Oooh. Ok. Gotcha

No fips for you!

@@CaptainXavier lol
