Oh man. I missed this series. And I love the "word from sponsor" bit. Almost the same caliber as a super bowl ad 😂

[@frogfromtwitch]

Literally a single word

[@bonsly2470]

Bit disappointing that we didn't get to see inside the Fate, but eh, that's life. Nothing you can do about a camera failure. Glad to see more "Can it Take a K26", it's always been my favorite format for nerf reviews. It shows off how well the blaster performs, and then it gets into important stuff most reviews skip. How does the blaster work? How hard is it to get into? How robust are the internals? How's the upgradeability? A blaster review without a peek inside feels like a car review where the engine is never mentioned.

[@CaptainXavier]

Yeah, I was very annoyed with myself and didn't feel like opening it up again. It is basically a Nitefinder with a spring-loaded breach. Nothing fancy.

[@Eulemunin]

Very night finder.

[@jakesyoutubezone9808]

Caught you on Walcom’s stream and it really resonated when he was agonizing about how he has to please the KZbin algorithm and you just casually dropped “KZbin isn’t my job so I can post whatever I think is interesting”. Gonna dive deep into your videos!

[@CaptainXavier]

It really does make a difference. I do not envy Walcom's need to please The Algorithm. For me it is a hobby and I like it that way. It does mean that I will never be hugely successful on KZbin but I have found that I really don't want to be. Especially if it meant not being able to make the kinds of videos I want to make.

[@damion9742]

Whoever at Hasbro that designed the Pilot must secretly be a modder cause that thing is a modders dream. I have one that I've modded to take MM Firefly shells and another that takes Flypoint shells.

@mOOk I see you in every nerf, comment section

[@JoeLaFon3]

The Pilot is my favorite toy blaster of all time. It's amazing. I simply have a K26 in mine and that's it. I enjoy firing it more than any other blaster. I've never played PvP with foam yet because I'm relatively new to the hobby so I'm sure the Pilot is D tier in PvP. That said, shooting and reloading this thing is therapeutic to me

[@CRNerf]

Thank you for the video!

[@backyardfoam]

Excellent video as usual! I have an off topic question for you if you don't mind, What type of net do you use on your range & where did you get them? We have been looking for a solution to keep our spectator's in a safe zone during our wars but still keep them close enough to see the action. Thanks - Joe

[@CaptainXavier]

It is scaffolding netting. I got it from HomeDepot.com

[@boomer7784]

My heart's full today

[@schodown4036]

Wonder what a 2-3 round load would look like on the pilot with that k26 now

[@General_Stryfe]

Hey captain have you modded the pilot yet ( other than in this video) there are a bunch of kits online

[@CaptainXavier]

Yes, I made a video of installing one of those kits. It was 10 videos ago.

[@manticvideos2590]

I packed a bunch of k25 into my Pilot and its a "fun" amount of hand shock upon firing.

[@stijnVDA1994]

hey captain, have you looked into practicing occluded eye aiming? that's in a way aiming with two eyes, it makes the sight in a way dubble allowing you to aim with your normal shooring side but it allows for aiming with your other eye. thus allowing you to be as accurate as you wish 😉

[@040611Bubba]

Best video intro ever I’m shoving a k26 in everything lmao

[@stuntmatt7124]

Looks like a lovely day, has Spring come to the Great Northwest ?

[@CaptainXavier]

...why would you jinx it like that?! Now we will get 6 more weeks of cold rain...

Heyla, Cap'n! Hope you're doing well! 👍 Just curious... How many "sponsor" words does Luke send you in a batch? 😋

[@CaptainXavier]

No idea. A bunch.

[@jeffreycarman2185]

0:14 I’m excited to see a new episode of this series!

[@pjusttheletterpreally.noth2995]

Bit late, but I'm (pleasantly) shocked that the Pilot took a K26, while the Knockout couldn't iirc.

[@Bukkarooo]

May be an odd request, but I'd love to see if the Elite 2.0 Ranger can take a K26 or even heavier spring. I always thought a beefy spring and removing the ARs would make a fun 5 dart shotgun.

[@slippir]

I love can I take a k26

[@Mr_Quazi]

ive been waiting for this episode

[@gillandro2]

Captain.... i searched here but it didnt come up right away but did you... or do you plan to test the gel fire blasters for k26? This is one of my two faves of your channels, this and the repair channel

[@CaptainXavier]

I do not. I have no interest in gel blasters.

[@gillandro2]

@@CaptainXavier thank you

[@2003frontier4x4]

Slap an in-line 4 short dart kit in with a 16kg spring and this thing is so good. It’s also so loud 😂 I’ve hit 126 fps and it’s accurate out to like 50 feet. The Fate*

[@belialbehemoth4990]

question! could you put a knockout priming handle into a pilot?i like the way the handle goes back in, out of the way. plinking from my couch down the hall the priming handle of the pilot is in the way of the arm of the couch.

[@CaptainXavier]

With enough epoxy anything is possible. If you are asking if they are inhererantly interchangeable? Probably not.

[@TintagelEmrys]

I got a good increase with an AR buffer spring with the fate. I got it cheap at a yard sale.

[@jaspertheartist7719]

Hello how’s you day today also I love your content keep doing great.

[@gargunkle]

Dear Capt Xavier: this video made me think of something I have been wondering. I seem to recall that a previous owner of your property basically ran a (Christmas?) tree farm. How far apart are the trees? And what species of trees are they, if you know?

[@CaptainXavier]

It was not a Christmas tree farm. It was a lumber tree farm. They are around 8ft part and I believe they are Douglas fir.

[@gargunkle]

@@CaptainXavier Very good. Your reply is much appreciated!

[@slinger0083]

Blasters from the skinz line

[@frankietang5081]

Dollar tree has dart guns

[@xrp3robot]

So... How many coils of k26 for the Pilot? Stock spring length minus a coil?

[@CaptainXavier]

Yes

[@patrickthenomad]

Outofdarts has the best stuff, but they slow roll you on shipping.

[@CaptainXavier]

You wanna wait 2 months and possibly never get your stuff, feel free to order from China. You want fast shipping with tracking? That costs extra for small businesses.

[@kermitclassified]

Can the X-shot dual take a K26?

[@CaptainXavier]

Huh...I could have sworn I did that one, but apparently not. I think I have one...

[@kermitclassified]

@@CaptainXavier It is the original blaster that can fire a dart and a disc at the same time.

[@kermitclassified]

@@CaptainXavier Also its catch mechanism is very rowdy sometimes.

what do you on windy days and you don't have alot of trees do you just deal with or shoot another day my captain my captain

Just deal. It rarely gets windy enough to stop me.
