Can it Take a K26? - Episode 11

[@alaeriia01]

Ooh, mag-feds! *a wild Longshot appears* The question is not, can it take a K26, but "how many springs can you jam in there before it explodes?"

[@CaptainXavier]

Well, more that 1 k26 it turns out. Which surprised me. I totally expected it to break.

[@alaeriia01]

Captain Xavier Chris Cartaya has jammed 25kgs of spring into a Longshot before. He also has a 23kg Star Shot that routinely gets tags from 180-plus feet. You should check out the Tri-Strike; it's got some good modding potential.

[@Matt-md5yt]

this is great, glad your covering the Mag fed blasters.

[@fununclenerfs]

This got a Season 3 before Young Justice did. Nice work Cpt. X!

[@bryansuh1985]

fununcle that's still going? I stopped watching after cloned super man kid.

[@fununclenerfs]

After the first episode? That's a shame, you're missing some of the best DC animation this side of Batman The Animated Series

[@eggyzx190]

fununcle really is it on Netflix I thought they stopped

[@Burningnewt]

make it shoot K26s

[@meroastisruined3039]

My first blaster was a whiteout nite finder that I absolutely did as many mods as possible on it, brass barrel, k26 and stuff, also what does the fps and range on the brass barrelled k26 nite finder get?

[@gamer-ot1xf]

I think it gets about 90-100+ FPS on average with the setup that you have listed

[@Kyle_etc]

I would mod my long shot but all of the screws are stripped because it's really old. I can't get it open :(

[@Qwertyoneify]

Drill! Replacement screws!

[@CaptainXavier]

Bummer...

[@Kyle_etc]

Nathan Boody i have replacement screws trust me, there is just way to many screws to get, plus, there are a lot of varying sizes of screws I don't know of. It just wouldn't work. It makes me mad though because I want a modded longshot which can shoot elites.

[@ow5929]

I smashed my long shot because the screw were stripped And because I hate it

[@ow5929]

Also please do the Centurion I love the Centurion and yet I hate the longshot It's weird

[@ddrjoe]

A blast from the past! Love it ❤

[@bryansuh1985]

lol I now know the triad can take a firefly( I think I get it mixed up sometimes) spring WITH a retaliator and a jolt spring. Kinda hard to prime, but it hurts like hell.

[@darecubtem493]

I never thought "Can it take a K26?" would be THIS awesome! 😆

[@Morgiliath]

Hype for having clip fed blasters even though I feel like not a ton will work with a k26 because of small plunger tubes. Loving the additional data this season and hype for seeing your take on a longshot.

[@Sigmaprime369]

Ian Beach It will definitely be modular.

[@Hario338]

you basically turned the front gun into a jolt

[@bones2430]

Hario338 totally just a pump action jolt

[@Hario338]

Garridan Gonzalez they should make that

[@CaptainXavier]

Yes but a very bulk one...

[@Hario338]

Captain Xavier that attaches to a barrel point

[@greenscreenman1717]

MODULAR JOLT

[@ytho3557]

are you going to count the dartzone magnum superdrum in this category because the newer version allows you to remove the drums with a button press so it has removable drums. Not technically magazine/clip fed but similar idea.

[@emosnowman2689]

the next blasters you need to see if it can take a k26 is a elit alpha trooper think it would be fun to see if the direct plunger system would talk it well thank you and love what you do for the nerfing community have a good new year :)

[@Rho-mz9tb]

So, you said you've never modded a Longshot before (btw, FOR SHAME) but would you be willing to take commissions based on it right now, or will you wait until you've completed your own? Also, if the K26 really isn't working, a K25 works beautifully in a Longshot with some internal upgrades (not to the extent you'll have to go to with a K26.)

[@Rho-mz9tb]

Side note, can any of your attachments for EIR shoot Screamin' Whistler Darts?

[@CaptainXavier]

Yes I would be willing to consider a commission for a Longshot. Are "Screamin' Whistler Darts" different than Nerf whistler darts?

[@Rho-mz9tb]

They shipped with these Transformers blasters nerf made in 2007-ish, "Screamin' Mega Darts" is the nickname. They're sizeably bigger than regular Whistlers but still smaller than the Mega Darts currently out. (I called them Screamin Whistlers, they just have the same head. The nickname is actually Screamin' Mega Darts.) Here's the article on the Nerf wiki if you're interested: nerf.wikia.com/wiki/Screamin%27_Mega_Dart

[@shawnburns3737]

Same here Xavier, same here. My first blaster mod was the Elite XD Retaliator.

[@drainstorM11]

I am so excited for the summer when I do my first big mod. It is going to be a crossbolt. You and Walcom are the best modders in my opinion currently so I would like a lock removal guide since the crossbolt is so easy to mod.

[@dkaih1119]

Growlithe Shaman Drac's guide is great as well. Recommend checking it out.

[@turtlestudios9970]

My first nerf blaster was that old dart tag thing with the top rail that you could attach to other blasters. My first mod was removing the air restrictor from a strongarm

[@tomlin19]

Do I smell a full Worker internals coming

[@Soviet_Kitty]

I am unsure if anyone else has mentioned it, but the longshot was also released in an elite variant (although it was also a repaint, like the z strike version) in around 2015-16.

[@CaptainXavier]

Indeed. 2015 as a Toys R Us exclusive. I mentioned it when I filmed but I misspoke and said 2005 and figured it was easier to just leave it out rather than re-shoot or have to deal with 500 people correcting me in the comments...

[@brysonsteelers]

Long shot is hands down best blaster of all time, aesthetically, performance, and ergonomics wise.

[@kotikvtanke2349]

*laughs in 50fps*

[@0v3rr1d3]

I'm looking forward to the Alpha Trooper. Due to the direct plunger and front prime I think it has a good chance

[@benhuebner188]

FINALLY THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR THE CENTURION TO ACTUALLY BE GOOD

[@benlam419]

still looking for an intern to help you with the commission email organization?

[@MrMiraculon]

Hey Captain, I just finished my own full mod (and it's my first) of a longshot. I kinda wanna call my longshot the Frankenstein because it has many parts from many producers. Going from front to back, it has a GavinFuzzy pump grip, a 7/32 brass barrel with a 9/16 sleeper breach, a GavinFuzzy clip release, a blaster mod shop dead space remover, Orange Mod Works stage 2 bolt sled, Hobby Mods metal bolt sled supporters glued on, Hobby Mods 14kg spring with Orange mod works spring cage replacement, Blaster mod shop metal spring cap holding it all in, Orange mod works' metal trigger, and lastly, a Orange mod works catch with a Hobby mods upgraded catch spring. I really want to also add on Blaster Mod shop's plunger tube support (which is just a very cheap, plastic version of Xplorer's) but it comes with Blaster Mod shop's bolt sled, cap, and catch so I'll just end up with a bunch of un-needed extra parts. I also kinda wanna replace the back stock with a Worker F10555 one, but it's a hassle to order it from Taobao

[@CaptainXavier]

Well...that would qualify as "The Works" alright. Yeah, I am still trying to figure out Taobao myself. I can navigate it...I just can't seem to get it to take my money and give me stuff...

[@MrMiraculon]

Well Coop was somehow able to get F10555 stuff, unless he used BuyChina.com for the easy stuff, I cant for the life of me find the right stuff on Buy China because it keeps saying "sorry this is out of stock" or "this is no longer being sold"

[@darthjawa1369]

My Suggestion for the next episode would be the Raider, Rampage, and Double Dealer. Since they are all side loading. Also great job on your videos. I really like the format, and enjoy watching the.

[@BryanWasHere89]

Can't wait to get my hands on one of those. Not sure I will use the K26 on it based on what you said, but I still will upgrade it no matter what. Though, part of me wonders if the OMW kit would the problems of adding the K26.

[@CaptainXavier]

I do not know. Those kits are fairly well engineered for the springs they come with and I do not know if the k26 is more or less than them as I have not tinkered with a Longshot before.

[@BryanWasHere89]

I've never tinkered with one or used an OMW kits. I am still very new to the modding world

[@lastlegend1138]

unless u find a wide enough press pipe for it to have a smooth exit and not a tight squeeze which causes friction and loses energy

[@lastlegend1138]

brass. stupid autocorrect

[@hellasmedicalinc8534]

This is meant to be a backup shot so it doesn't really make sense to build a stronger spring make it shoot farther

[@coqsoq3756]

i like the change of soundtrack. good shit.

[@CaptainXavier]

Thanks. I found a nice source of Public Domain music and surfed around.

[@coqsoq3756]

Captain Xavier sick. Its a lot better than the old music you were using. However, that music was goid for winter time

[@evanwickstrom5698]

I love that you modded the godawful front gun on the longshot to have almost identical performance to an unmodded longshot main gun.

[@CaptainXavier]

Right? I was impressed too.

[@leonbolger7590]

I usually just put in a elite spring and fill the breech hole and that hits only elite ranges but it really quick and easy

[@wakeeqq]

But can You take a K26?

[@eviljester1169]

probs my fav ep so far

[@CaptainXavier]

Thanks!

[@GCJACK83]

I'd love to get a Longshot, paint the legs, bolt, bolt handle and stock black, paint the body and attachable muzzle olive drab green, drop four lengths of combined K26 into it, upgrade the catch spring, drop in a metal bolt sled and metal catch, and figure out a way to put a functional scope on it.

[@wolkaiserdrake9946]

front pump is the only mod I cant stand when it comes to a long shot, I know it helps greatly for priming, but I just hate the idea of not using the rod it comes with and getting rid of one of the features of the blaster, the by pod

[@mitchellball6592]

you finally got a drill to take out the screws!

[@Slender_Man_186]

By any chance would it be possible to have a specialized stampede shell with metal gears that could take a K26? I feel like that would be a beast machine of a foam flinger.

[@ogcrestfallen]

along with the longshots, they released a 2015 "elite" One exclusive at TRU

[@TheWarthogaa]

JCDC1221 there's a zombie one

[@jamesdoherty3333]

with the longshot if you use a longshot with a beefy spring reinforce the boltsled it snaps so easy!

[@CaptainXavier]

That was my worry, but this thing to SO much abuse today I was amazed it did not break. And it was cold.

[@jamesdoherty3333]

mine got shredded to 3 pieces XD

[@dragonblaster-vu8wz]

Captain Xavier go to tacticoolfoam.com to find a metal catch, metal boltslead, metal plunger rod, and metal trigger to keep most of your parts from being destroyed

[@blackhand1431]

I am scared of breaking my boltsled. Thats why i "only" use a 9 kg spring. And i brass breach it. Sadly i dont have an crony to messure the fps :( But i think ist enough ( FJY's shoot through cardboard)

[@jamesdoherty3333]

Black Hand yeah I work with longshots a lot. And I would say buy a replacement boltsleds

[@mandziar4739]

Another informative video, but I do happen to have a question about a longshot. Have you the bipod pieces for one lying around? I thrifted a zombie strike version and actually want the bipod for the appearance I'm after.

[@elliejohnson2786]

REALLY like the new music.

[@CaptainXavier]

I figured I'd get something a little more serious for this series. It is a shame this series has so few winners. Speaking on winners, were you still interested in k26 earrings?

[@elliejohnson2786]

Captain Xavier uhm, probably not, sorry.

[@meroastisruined3039]

Modulus stock blaster?

[@00goop27]

I love these k-26 episodes. Quick question, I singled by Sledgefire with a stock spring, but will it take a k-26?

[@nnamlus]

Joe miller yee it will i think.

[@00goop27]

nnamlus gaming just tested it. It does with an upgraded catch spring

[@sethtothemax]

Lil tip use a claw hammer for the priming handles

[@Qwertyoneify]

Do you plan to try the Barrel break? the rough cut? (it cant) the Sledge fire? Special shotgun season?

[@CaptainXavier]

Yes

[@sanguins7773]

So what you are saying is get a modified version of the retalitor worker pump

[@Athenor]

Just saw this in Target, as part of the legacy series. In that yellow...

[@shadowsa2b]

Now that it exists, i wonder if a Kronos spring might be a tad more apropos if its long enough. Somewhat less power, but less stress on the internals and theoretically better usability without more extensive modding

[@JunkboxSP]

is it possible we could see you try a k26 in the Atlas, please?

[@stephenross5586]

I've always wanted a Longshot with a stampede and stryfe afterburner built in

[@amandamanholt6209]

The front gun is useful now my dream has come true 😀

[@diablo2706]

Should I get the elite blue longshot for 90$ of amazon?

[@eyezuh_]

Every time I hear you say "Can it take a K26? Well lets find out." I can only hear chainsaws revving up. Probably because your (mods) are insane.

[@aidangreenfield3374]

YES!

[@Amiga3000D]

Will you try a K26 in a Speedload 6 please?

[@coryzepp238]

Been waiting for this!

[@vincentfrenchii8523]

@Captain Xavier; Possibly a dumb and already answered question but: what length of K26 did you put in the Longshot? As in, inches, or coil count? I recently thrifted a couple of Longshots, and wanted to beef them up, possibly do an integration with a Firefly, Crossbolt, or, Centurion to give it a thumbhole stock, as I believe it heresy to murder a Rayven as well.

[@CaptainXavier]

You are better off buying one of the Longshot specific springs. They work better and are about the same price.

[@vincentfrenchii8523]

Captain Xavier Thank you, Cap. Would you recommend the OMW Longshot stage one and two kits?

[@ralphb359]

Hey how much would it cost to upgrade my longshot just removing the air restrictior and a better spring

[@wolkaiserdrake9946]

Iv never even seen a long shot in person so modding one out of the question for me

[@KoboldPaladin]

do the stampede becuse it is a electric springier

[@CaptainXavier]

I plan to cover all the electric springers in a special episode at the end of the season. :)

[@ProwlXV]

Totodile Games The gears would eat themselves

[@CaptainXavier]

Hey, no spoilers!

[@ProwlXV]

Captain Xavier sorry sir

[@KoboldPaladin]

Captain Xavier omg a reply

[@candylands9642]

If I shipped you a rapidstrike and 200$ what could you do with it???

[@daddydobson200]

put a stock block in it, you can make it out of PVC pipes or you can build a Lego block and rap it with electrical tape, I did it, it works

[@haxotr1045]

when he said his first mod was a stampede *I was actually holding a stampede*

[@stratgyzeawesome6624]

Mine too I have had it for ever

[@Kadencabs]

1 gun and i own this same color too but i removed air restrictors

[@dragonblaster-vu8wz]

I know it's late for single shot blasters, but could you test the glowshot for a k26?

[@sanguins7773]

Andrew Hibbets no the glowshot has a no room for it

[@matthewbro3]

Hey, Captain, when you finally end up overhauling your longshot, could you make a build guide? I would appreciate it, and I'm sure many others would.

[@CaptainXavier]

Absolutely!

[@meroastisruined3039]

I would love to see the Stampede with a k26

[@alexk2654]

It won't break the stampede.

[@alexk2654]

It will

[@alexk2654]

Typo

[@A_real_brick]

Nathan Beck I want to see if a titan with a k26

[@A-G-F-]

william A titan is not spring powered

[@aidangreenfield3374]

there is also one decorated in the elite color scheme a little while ago

[@CaptainXavier]

Indeed. 2015 as a Toys R Us exclusive. I mentioned it when I filmed but I misspoke and said 2005 and figured it was easier to just leave it out rather than re-shoot or have to deal with 500 people correcting me in the comments...

[@aidangreenfield3374]

Ahh, ok

[@Catequil]

can you use the 2 rough cut springs in a longshot without reinforcing the blaster? i got a broken rough cut and an underperforming longshot so i tought i'd combine them, but i dont want to reinforce the blaster if not needed.

[@CaptainXavier]

Probably? They might not be long enough. I have not tried.

[@Catequil]

Captain Xavier well its a fake nerf rough cut with very weak gear links. i recently got a real one so i didnt have a reason to repair it.

[@Catequil]

for the record: what would happen if the springs are too short?

[@CaptainXavier]

You will have spring rattle and you will lose power.

[@Catequil]

cant i just twist them into each other and make them longer as a pair? like how a person normally would twist them into each other so that you get a spring with the same length and double power, but then not twist them entirely so that they stick out on each end, making it longer?

[@sorandom8396]

My first mod and I admit it was very noobish was putting a 9v into the barricade

[@dominicsparkman6275]

he finally got a drill

[@AzraelMight]

Ah yes the jam-o-matic

[@loganpalmer7132]

And now the longshot has an "Elite" version (Also can you try putting a K26 in an alphahawk?)

[@DeisFortuna]

Could you replace the spring in the rival magazine with a k26 and then make it into something that just vomits rounds when the button to empty the mag is pressed?

[@CaptainXavier]

No

[@DeisFortuna]

Captain Xavier that's a shame. It would be hilarious if it actually worked.

[@7th_phoenix546]

What spring IS best spring for a stock long shot though?

[@CaptainXavier]

There is no "best" spring. "Best" is a subjective concept. What you consider "best" and what I consider "best" could be very different and thus require different springs.

[@Toycoma]

Have you ever done the whole shabang on the ls? What are the results if you did and what exactly did you do?

[@CaptainXavier]

nope

[@Toycoma]

Captain Xavier sad face emoji

[@RuckusHuckusYT]

You should try putting a k26 spring in a slingfire sometime

[@BaldBeardedMiddle-agedGuy]

will you do a video on the brass breach mod?

[@CaptainXavier]

Of course.

[@BaldBeardedMiddle-agedGuy]

Awesome. Love your channel. I have the yellow longshot complete and 2 others for parts.

[@littlebiglsteele4158]

YES

[@19guitarshredder]

can the nerf longstrike take a k26? also where do you get your k26 springs? thanks

[@CaptainXavier]

I have already covered the Longstrike (no it cannot) and I get mine online from McMaster-Carr.

[@19guitarshredder]

Captain Xavier sounds good, thanks for the reply. picked one up the other day at goodwill without the priming bar so I'll probably mod it a bit. thanks

[@obscurepillow9774]

would a deploy stock and grip work for the longshot?

[@CaptainXavier]

Yes

[@obscurepillow9774]

Would you do it for me?

[@_capozzi_]

What if the Longshot front gun's plunger tube was replaced with a home made plunger system made out of pvc, after all there is a lot of dead space in the front guns shell

[@CaptainXavier]

That would almost certainly improve it...

[@militaryfool9990]

Try a stampede for K26 and mother upgrade if possible

[@SparkysAdventure]

I want the works! I want the whole works!

[@CaptainXavier]

Presents and prizes and sweets and surprises!

[@MilesPrower1992]

50 fps stock on an N-strike?

[@danieldanzer4653]

how can a stock longshot reach 50 feet?

[@syrukai2257]

Longshot front gun is good

[@The_RC_Dude]

My friend has a broken long shot and a primed but working long shot front gun and when I shot it the dart went barely half a foot LOL 😂😂😂

[@aidangreenfield3374]

will you do one for the Retaliator?

[@CaptainXavier]

Yes

[@aidangreenfield3374]

Captain Xavier thanks, it's one of my favorite blasters, probably because it has survived a lot of damage. (the boltsled is held together with offbrand white ducktape, and it has about 5 screws left in it)

[@theoddone2675]

I can't wait for the garbage I mean deploy to be tested

[@CaptainXavier]

I do intend to. If for no other reason than to settle this whole "The Deploy sucks and anyone who says otherwise is a noob" banter once and for all...

[@Sigmaprime369]

HE MADE THE FRONT GUN LESS GARBAGE! PRAISE IT TO THE MASSES!

[@CaptainXavier]

Pro Deo Imperatore!

[@Sigmaprime369]

Captain Xavier after about a minute of Googling I have determined that god told you to do it. I think I got that right.

[@CaptainXavier]

It roughly translates to "In the name of the God Emperor"

[@alexk2654]

Can you make a video on how to Insert a voltmeter to a rapid strike?

[@CaptainXavier]

I certainly will when I finally get around to fully upgrading my Rapidstrike.

[@joesheetsAKAtokuta]

dear captain Xavier you know about my re build to a shotgun style drain blaster but I still want a sniper rifle what would you reccomend

[@CaptainXavier]

There are lots of options. For style I rather like the LongStrike XBZ build.

[@joesheetsAKAtokuta]

Do you think I could use that system with a longshot?

[@lastlegend1138]

are you going to Brass The Longshot Barrel

[@benjaminscanlon6041]

can the stampede take a k26?

[@totophi]

Demitrx : Not recommended without a serious voltage upgrade, which in turn is not recommended without steel gears.

[@Mike_Masaki]

thats not recommended without a full mechanism upgrade

[@technomen0872]

totophi Not recommended in a normal Nerf shell

[@ponkypink3147]

Judging by how massive the plunger tube is, I'm sure it can possibly take a little more

[@JohnJames.]

I put a kronos spring in with the stock spring, and brassed it, got 195 with af waffles full length, still have to polish the barrel

[@jacket3661]

you must do the Modulus Tri-Strike

[@George-fe5mf]

Time flies...

[@alexk2654]

Hey, can you possibly make a magazine fed strong arm?

[@scarlettbandit2803]

Alex K They're known as Retaliators

[@CaptainXavier]

I probably could...but why? You would have to fabricate a manual breach. Which would make it slow to prime and awkward to reload. Surely a Retaliator would be simpler.

[@CaptainXavier]

It might be worth it if you did it to a CycloneShock since they have a large plunger tube.

[@alexk2654]

I'm looking for the speed of the strong arm slam fire, Cyclone shocks and retaliator's don't have slam fire, when you put a 35 drum in it, it be so fun to slam fire.

[@CaptainXavier]

Ah, well there is a Slam Fire kit for the Retaliator. Now that I think about it I can think of a way to do what you are describing...but the blaster would become Slam Fire only. I would go with the Slam Fire Retaliator myself.
