[Review] Worker Metal Longshot Kit

[@CdoGtheGreat]

It's official.. You are my second favorite aussie right behind Huge Jackman :) love your videos.

[@shadowreaver1851]

I really appreciated this video. I've tried to mod my longshot several times, all ending in failure. I had all the right parts but there aren't many detailed mod guides out there. The video was very instructive and thanks to this guide I finally figured out where I went wrong and successfully upgraded my longshot.

[@Lankythepyro]

I was thinking of getting this exact kit with this exact spring. This is precisely the result I was hoping for

[@Relaxed0201]

How much does it cost and where can I find it? The link in His description doesn't work

[@jforgeuk1766]

Hey Brad, will you ever consider making a video/review/overview of the caliburn. I really want to see your opinion on it, and in comparison to the prophecy

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Jack Phillips, I'd review it if I had one. I don't have a huge desire to buy one though currently.

[@dracon5700]

lol you should just link to the thread discussion from the other day.

[@superwakky2947]

Bradley Phillips you could see if worker would send you one

[@streettrash4220]

I was just looking at the worker kit site for the aluminum bolt sled. Looks like they listened to you about the pin. Their description says “.Replace original all-metal CNC bolt pin with screw type, is not easy to slide out.” I already upgraded my alpha plastic trigger with the pink worker one. I had to mod the xzeus shell a bit to fit it, but i had already cut jam doors so no biggie. It’s night and day though. So much better. Wow. Next up will be the bolt sled for matchy pink goodness with no tape required.

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Street Trash, there's an artifact trigger (new one) that fits the Xzeus 2 shell with out cutting

[@streettrash4220]

Bradley Phillips lame. I had no idea. I already modified it though so oh well. It was nothing structural, and I can always glue in some micarta block spacers if I need to use a different trigger for some reason. Mcmaster’s has micarta for pretty cheap.

[@Load_the_ducks]

I like the new style, but I think I do prefer the post commentary. It's more concise.

[@GrimzNerfWorks]

Where do you get the turf springs from I can’t find them anywhere

[@seniorxj2931]

When's your Stryfe build gonna come out?

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Senior XJ, I have it here. It works. But won't feed ACC darts, rips the heads off every Worker dart and only really likes Mengun half lengths. That's good for me though because I'm probably going to switch to an all half-length Mengun load out but I do need to wait for my shipment of them to arrive. I find the accuracy is the same as Worker without the head loss.

[@seniorxj2931]

Bradley Phillips,, half lengthen darts in a stryfe? I'm guessing your using a DRS cage since your main thing is accuracy..

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Actually using Morpheus with 41.5mm crush and high concavity wheels

[@seniorxj2931]

Bradley Phillips,, I'm running the same cage with the aluminum guide. Mine is a 42.5mm with worker wheels and it's tearing heads off a lot of my accufakes. I then bought insutanto wheels from out of darts thinking the worker grooves were to blame but the same happened.

[@JosephArata]

The Omega kit is going to be capable of spring loads higher than 20 kg, intrinsically though. If you were interested in creating a target shooting Longshot or XZeus. Where rate of fire isn't a concern.

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Batojiri1, I personally wouldn't consider going above Turf 10kg with the Omega until Jet release some longer barrels. What alpha hits with 16kg, a brass sleeper breech can do with less.

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Jet have warranty rated Omega to some ridiculously high number, so Jet says so.

[@JosephArata]

Agreed, barrel length will be a problem if you aren't going to go source your own Aluminum pipe and cut threads on it to adapt it to the kit. At least without waiting for Jet Blaster to release specific sizes for specific spring loads.

[@CdoGtheGreat]

It would be really cool if you did a video showing the difference in FPS with barrel length. I would give two likes (one from each account) I know it aint much of a "payment" but I thought it would be worth asking.

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Jet Blaster have some different size barrels they're planning to send me to test so look out for that video because I'm definitely going to run Omega through its paces with 18.5kg spring too.

[@ALPHA.Mods.1]

the shell is made of two different shells! cool!

[@blobfishiant8487]

Ik it seems like a really weird observation but I really like the sound of the birds in this video

[@XGeekabillyX]

How was the air seal? Any E-tape etc added post video? Also what about function vs price? Great video as always

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Jordan Leitner, I upgraded the pusher oring to a thicker one. Other than that I haven't done anything not shown in the video. In terms of cost I'd say it aligns well with what it's missing compared to the omega kit preorder price of $130USD. It lacks a plunger rod, plunger tube, or metal trigger. It also requires shell work.

[@MongooseJakeNerf]

Hadn't watched this previously. I have that kit (mostly, I did not order the pusher intentionally so I could run it with full lengths), and it was nice to see your thoughts on some of the parts. That kit is hitting about the same FPS as my modded Buzz Bee Snipe is when firing full lengths on a 7kg spring.

[@RastaBot]

Im liking the rose gold color, I just purchased the sled and its on its way. I might have to get the whole kit. Are you going to do videos with different spring loads like you did with the Alpha Kit?

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

RastaBot, I might do a video with 16kg or something to see what it hits but with the loose fit barrel and short length I foresee diminishing returns above 10kg and not much gains above 200ft/s.

[@gabbiyobro4020]

Awesome vid man!!!!! Liked:-) Btw can a stock longshot plungertube handle a 14kg spring?

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Gabbi Yobro, the plunger tube itself can. I'd upgrade the sled though.

[@gabbiyobro4020]

So a metal sled? With sled do you mean the bolt sled??Btw don`t you have to get a metal catch as well as a stronger catch spring? And is it necessary to get a metal trigger?

[@Juan-nz1gu]

Is this a good replacement for a brass breech?

[@extramile3382]

Hello Brad, what will be your recommendation for optimum barrel length of the same setup on ZS LS body + worker blue LS tube + worker 22kg spring? Thanks.

[@wallafied]

Thankyou brad for all your vids. I’ve learnt a hell of a lot from watching most of not all of them. Cheers I have the complete worker kit including the 18.5kg worker spring that came with it in a xzeus2 shell. But it’s a 200 to 210fps gun with worker darts. I’m a little disappointed. I’ve ordered a 16.5kg spring from BlasterTECH as I’ve been impressed with their 8kg spring, (180 to 200fps in my custom stainless steel barrel and breech longshot I made). To the point I spose hahaha, is the 16.5 BT spring as good as the turf 16kg spring you seem to love the most?

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

By the looks of their fps claims, it seems about equal to a Turf 16kg spring.

[@wallafied]

Bradley Phillips I’ll soon see I spose. If it’s not up to task I’ll just get another Zeus with a ls omega kit. But jet blaster are always sold out of near on everything. It’s a bit of a joke. Oh and try a worker 9kg retaliator spring in your cycloneshock by itself. It’s a little bigger in ID so runs over the plunger rod without binding. 120fps average with worker darts can hit 140 when you find the perfect dart. ACC darts 140fps. Pity I can’t attach a vid to the comments to show

[@brucehkv5757]

The Ceda is out, when are you going to review it?

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

BRUCEHKV, it's not actually been sent out to people yet. Jet say end of May preorders should be sent. The photos Jet have shown are just samples they have.

[@woah8932]

Will there bra review of the new OMW stuff ?

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Lwow Gaming, not really planning on getting that. Parts of it are 3D printed which I don't like.

[@metanoba4099]

Could this work with the jet blaster’s Omni kit because I nerf with people who are scared of Stefans and I don’t want to hurt them so I hope to use full length darts

[@HiepLe-pe5hu]

Did you find the o-ring was too thick

[@seal3626]

What's the main advantage to having a threaded pin on the boltsled?

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Turquoise Seal, super easy to remove and install. The artifact one uses a phillips head screwdriver bolt.

[@seal3626]

Bradley Phillips So more of an inconvenience then? Or is it a design flaw, E.G.: it lets the bolt slide out easily or etc?

[@Gman76257]

Where can I get an artifact bolt sled??

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Probably try Monkeemods

[@Gman76257]

Bradley Phillips ok thank you

[@alducentekritztravy494]

Is it better.than the roboman boltsled?

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Gengi Asto, I don't think anything would beat the Roboman sled except that custom one that Drac featured. It does match Artifact in build quality though by the looks other than lack of a threaded bolt pin.

[@Pierre845]

I'm pretty confident the omega kit will be superior to this. I'd say this was more comparable to the hunter kit

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Foam Alliance UK, this seems like a Hunter Kit Mk2.

[@Pierre845]

Bradley Phillips I think worker could have done better with this

[@zagnerok]

Strange the spring catch didn't fit at all in my friends xzeus it always bent following the curve body of xzeus shell ho did u do that @_@"

[@lolol.y7935]

Can this kit be used with full lenght darts ?

[@damiandiaz6861]

What spring did u use. Did u have to change the spring on the trigger?

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

I think I used a 16kg Turf spring. No you don't have to change the spring on the trigger, just the spring on the catch which is provided.

[@damiandiaz6861]

@@BradleyPhillipsYT How much does it cost?

[@dracon5700]

do you have any plans to review the new OMW printed kit?

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

dracon5700, not really. I know there is another KZbin who has made a video on it though. 3D print just doesn't sound very durable to me.

[@dracon5700]

its STL printed, so it uses a kind of resin i think, but its is supposed to be pretty durable. thanks for the feedback tho

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

I only got this because it's a metal kit. I've sold all of my alpha kits ready for Omega. Had a few break where the pusher joins to the sled so not even a fan of molded ABS anymore.

[@dracon5700]

you do put your blasters through a ton more use than the average person would, and in a harsh environment at that, so it makes sense. i am looking at maybe getting an Omega kit to replace my brass breech system that I have because it eats darts and snaps boltsleds. That being said, I will probs wait for your review before buying the omega kit tbqh. I am a pre-med student so money is a factor for me.

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

I preordered an omega at the cheaper price so I'll definitely be reviewing it. My brass breech blasters all have metal sleds, metal catches, metal end caps, etc. and made by people who are really good at brass breeches so don't chew darts.

[@gabbiyobro4020]

The Xcortech Chronograph is a good Chronograph!!! I have it my self:-)

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Gabbi Yobro, first time using it in this video. Straight out of the box!

[@gabbiyobro4020]

Aaah... cool!!!

[@teunr5042]

How does this kit compare to the hunterkit?

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Teun Roetman, I'd call it Hunter Kit Mk2 but I've never owned one of those.

[@zagnerok]

Nice vid dude i really need to know. About thos product :)

[@A1dan_12]

How long can the stock XZeus 2 sled take 8kg Nerf Turf with the worker kit and w/out reinforcement bars? Not using the worker sled

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Phantom Mods, never tried it but I wouldn't think it can take it. Will probably break.

[@A1dan_12]

Would reinforcing that hold up and apparently its as strong as the stock ZS LS sled with no reinforcement

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

I'd reinforce it with some sheet metal

[@A1dan_12]

Bradley Phillips is that any different then Spence’s reinforcement bars in terms of. Strength

[@seanshepard2401]

My stock xzues2 sled has been managing 12.5kg for about 3 months now.

[@ALPHA.Mods.1]

are you getting the omega kit?

[@timzchannel1960]

This was great.! the film editing was awesome as well hope you do more installation videos , especially when the OMEGA comes out.! Hope your GF will get a sight cam too :D

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

timZ Channel, I might put my scope cam on her blaster sometime but I don't think she'd be caught dead wearing a helmet

[@ashleeellis2361]

I'll pass on the helmet hair thanks. And the footage would suck anyway haha

[@timzchannel1960]

Haha..!

[@JamieTenikoff]

Lol Tim, Brad already looks ridiculous enough running around the field ;)

[@timzchannel1960]

Haha... Chill Tiger..! because when I watch his footage I keep seeing & hearing "Hit Tiger" ..! Joking.. your group must have a lot of fun... Appreciate both your videos and passion for Nerf. The Nerf community can't wait for the next videos. Hope to visit one day and join the Nerf wars. :D

[@ollllsdacrazy]

Serious question, what lube do you use?

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Inox MX6

[@5AUC3]

how heavy of a spring can this kit take?

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Probably up to 18kg since the key parts are metal

Hmmm, will a 13 kg catch with the included spring? How much fps with it

[@BradleyPhillipsYT]

Yes it will catch, no idea what velocity a 13kg spring will get. I have never tried one.
