“ITS SO SMOOTH!” -coop772 reviewing the Twinshock

[@JosephArata]

Dude that intro is great, comedy is always a good way to start out a video to set the mood of things.

[@user-ub3ub1eq3j]

Agreed

[@johnflamingcheetos481]

yes

[@pigfish99]

another cool idea is turn the "shroud" for the tri-break into a holster for it. I mean, it would probably be easy.

[@CaptainXavier]

I like that.

[@joshua5483]

Captain Xavier I’ll hold your skittles and root beer

[@zeroblade6599]

That is a very good idea, try it!

[@doorguner01]

That's very clever!

[@joshua5483]

I needed this video more than ya think. Thanks Captain. I’ve just been a little slumped.

[@joshua5483]

I don't deserve subs I tried it but the plunger rod was too wide

[@spazzofspeed]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@jonahhex6593]

I loved your little interview with Tier

[@CaptainXavier]

Thanks! (It is Týr)

[@jonahhex6593]

Captain Xavier I tried so hard

[@CaptainXavier]

Tier is a word...it just isn't how you spell the name of the Norse God of War. :)

[@jonahhex6593]

Captain Xavier it’s cool where the whole captain Xavier character originated I do a little re-enactment myself but it’s all Wild West oriented

[@CaptainXavier]

If you want more of the story I have an Origin of Captain Xavier video over on my Lego Channel. :P Wild West re-enactment is cool! And apparently very popular in Germany...

[@adamfazar8364]

I really liked the music for this one

[@quindariousgooch6059]

Saw your interview :D too cool! Hard work pays off!

[@CaptainXavier]

:D

[@adamfazar8364]

you should put the tri break's plunger tube in the death trooper blaster

[@travisshea9809]

Yes please more stock attachment points!!!! And i agree i like horizontal pump grips more than pistol grips, although i do like the occasional vertical pump

[@CaptainXavier]

It all depends on the blaster. :)

[@travisshea9809]

Very true

[@aiden713]

It just occurred to me that EIR does not have a 1969 NERF Indoor Ball firing attachment.... Pay up...lol

[@CaptainXavier]

Yet...

[@stephenross5586]

You also need a gun thrower, boondocksaints!

[@Shaun_Jones]

As dangerous and illegal it would be, there should be an attachment that throws empty magazines.

[@Pigness7]

Hey cap! I saw you on the news!

[@nugget_68]

pignessman 7 can i have a link to the video

[@Pigness7]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKCVdqBsoNeChs0

[@CaptainXavier]

:D

[@cavanmorber3238]

Everyone else with the Tri-Break: I wonder what cool things I can do with this! Holster, shells, dart conversion... Captain Xavier: But can it take a K26?

[@Bleenga]

Ahhh, nice. I put a Kronos spring in mine, but I didn't even try to put it over the stock spring, I just switched them out. Have you run it through your Chronograph? I'd love to know what numbers you're getting! And definitely take the break action shroud thing off, I did with mine and there's no going back!

[@homelee665]

Nerf Gun Attachments I was actually going to suggest he check out what you did with the shroud. When I get around to picking one or two up, that is what I want to do.

[@Bleenga]

Cool, thanks. He makes me want to go back to mine and try to double up the springs like he does here --- wonder what the performance would be!

[@kaio0777]

my fav show on the net YAY you do you Captaining

[@CaptainXavier]

:D

[@nugget_68]

I strive to one day be like you you are a rolemodle for me thanks for all the lovely uploads

[@AsideOfbeans]

That’s a great into right there

[@harryrouth4470]

Love the twinshock

[@scarletsurge5624]

I have a plan once I can get my hands on a tribreak and its to modify it to be a shotgun and after it fires the darts the front end springs open and so its gonna be a lot of testing but it seems useless but fun anyways lol

[@WooperChannelYT]

Yeah!

[@TheVelociRapper23]

I like the break action. It’s a nice aesthetic

[@slimebuck]

congrats on the daily planet segment!

[@CaptainXavier]

+Slime Bucket thanks!

[@alaeriia01]

Hey Cap, have you heard about the Infimus? Apparently, it has a system for topping up its magazine, like a Quick 16 with removable mags. It will apparently cost a fortune because Hasbro, but I think you will want to isolate that mechanism and figure out how to make one for EIR.

[@CaptainXavier]

I have seen the speculation videos but I put little stock in speculation. I am looking forward to seeing it and if there is a new system I will certainly look into it. :)

[@jimpowers4463]

Hey Captain, you may want to revisit the upgraded twinshock with the new mega accustrike rounds.

[@chazwhite6816]

Been waiting for this video

[@jacob6386]

Loving the intro!!!!

[@CaptainXavier]

:D

[@xelasoccer]

Thank god we have mega accustrike darts now.

[@MexicanWaffIe2]

The buzz bee clip tek is like the rapid fire tek, but is direct primed via slide on the top of the blaster (where the plunger tube is)

[@Load_the_ducks]

I've done a nerfturf twinshock, I knew things would get interesting when I saw the thumbnail... I'm up to 6:27, good luck with the hot water bath! >:)

[@Load_the_ducks]

EDIT: WTF my plungertube/endcap assembly was dunked in FLIPPING SOLVENT WELD! >:( It took me FOREVER to get it out, and I burned my fingers!

[@CaptainXavier]

*evil laugh

[@guilianosciarrotta6696]

I'm loving the new intros Captain

[@CaptainXavier]

:D

[@tinymonkeygaming1881]

Mega k26 yeah!!

[@jacoballen9820]

Yay

[@Brian-cr1ep]

Wish my son Brian was still alive to see that you were on cannda weekly he loved that channel and yours

[@carllawson5043]

Glad it worked!

[@carllawson5043]

I like the vert grip, but it works better with how my wrist is

[@pigfish99]

the tri-break would really be cool if you could mod it to use Buzzbee shells. like a mini hand-cannon!

[@carstan1173]

On the Twinshock, I think an angled grip would look better and be more comfortable with the barrels extending below the top of the priming handle.

[@WooperChannelYT]

Make it shoot demolished rockets, and reload off of a spring double pump system, with stock attachment with less body, and centurion style handle/stock #Modular

[@totophi]

Cosmic Creator : A TwinShock plug-in for Elite missiles (a.k.a. Demolisher rockets) would be fuggin' sweet!! Totally wreck shield players!

[@indieprince7729]

🙏✨

[@insectking7050]

New idea. Can it take a lipo? Like this series, but for flywheel blasters.

[@zephyr6758]

A great use for the tri-break is to make it a mini shotgun, with no shells

[@kerry848]

Hey I was wondering.... what's the point of brassing a nerf barrel or replacing a nerf barrel with a brass barrel?

[@benlam419]

Brass barrels make an air tight seal around the dart so that when it fires, all the air is pushed out from behind the dart giving it the maximum amount of power.

[@helpdeskconfessions]

I’m wondering if you can’t turn the Tri-Break shroud into a separate holster of some sort.

[@ZandorJhayme]

Possible suggestion: with my modded mega darts I put in a dart tip like from xplorer x-tips (pushed through the little holes in the mega dart tip) to help give the megas a bit more weight and accuracy, while not nullifying the point of modding the mega blaster.

[@CaptainXavier]

Cool!

[@loosemoose4134]

Cap, I shaved my beard. But, I didn’t have a choice in the matter.

[@CaptainXavier]

:(

[@loosemoose4134]

Captain Xavier Thank you for your support on this trying time.

[@Aaron-es2tu]

:(==== FTFY

[@shiikon2193]

I would love to see that break thing singled. Kind of like a singled sledgefire

[@Kieran_JSL]

I know, get rid of the break and make it a three shot shotgun

[@zargax245]

I love my tribreak its so fun and now I might mod it

[@azzaacegaming6892]

Re-barrel the shotgun for elites, and add a stock. A LITERAL CANNON.

[@pixelflow]

Shorten the shroud? Stubby trishot-shotgun!

[@scarlettbandit2803]

Love the new intro, X-Man!

[@CaptainXavier]

Thanks!

[@lukeiannello6190]

Hi Captain, I know I'm several years late but this video has been helpful when modifying my own Twinshock. How did you get the stock springs off the plungers? I can't seem to find a way to get the plungers off so the springs can come off.

[@CaptainXavier]

I probably threaded it off the side.

[@youssefbassem2412]

When are you going to get the 3D printers

[@CaptainXavier]

+kid fury I already have them...

[@youssefbassem2412]

Captain Xavier can you make a video about them

[@TheLomdr]

I wouldn't be surprised that a Whistler Micro Dart (both styles: Original "Captain Xavier" scheme [Black body, orange tip] and N-Strike scheme [Light Orange/Peach Body, black tip]) or the Tagger Whistlers (from the Dart Tag Yellow and Black line) would fly erratically if you fired them from an over powered blaster as well, because of the similar design to the Megas (Only with 1 hole instead of 2). It does stink though that Nerf effectively killed off those rounds with the move to the Elite line and Dart Tag dying off, even if I get why they did it (Wouldn't be surprised if a kid tried to fire a Whistler or Suction dart through an OG Alpha Trooper at one point, as well as we're getting more CS compatible blasters nowadays instead of single shots, Cylinder, or 'turreted' blasters)

[@grabbity]

LOMDR Craft Dragon oddly enough the old school taggers are still the best option for blowguns

[@TheLomdr]

The Orange/Green team colored ones I take it? I can see why. Though, I do remember even some of them whistling out of the blasters that don't take Streamlines, even the reverse plungered N-Strike blasters. About as pronounced of a whistle that would come from a streamline styled dart, though (Small air release hole. I call elites Streamline-styled even though they have a MUCH shorter core than the original streamlines that made it so you couldn't use them in some blasters for...reasons [Original Streamlines, of course])

[@williamfarmer6870]

I gust had a thort could it be posibul to buy wood will nerf blarsters from you for less than the original prise ??? :)

[@brypie202]

HumPDAAYYyyy!

[@mahendra4352]

Twinshocks area to the aft of the grip turns out to be empty. Nerf wasted a lot of space there. They could have shorten the butt and give it stock attachment instead.

[@CaptainXavier]

Right!?

[@Eyckzim]

Have you tried taping over the whistler hole on regular megas to see if it changes performance at all?

[@kinglycaon0024]

Walcom is going to get annoyed that, yet again, you pulled out the perfect spring on the first try.

[@CaptainXavier]

:D

[@tripleBification]

holy crud I did the same thing and it couple of shots almost broke my handle stress factors so you are the Magic k-26 Man, and how did you get the back of that off so easy it look like yours wasn't even solvent welding LOL my must have been made slightly different.

[@CaptainXavier]

*shrugs*

[@Martian_Productions]

Ah, I remember back in the day, episode 1 of can it take a k26, that's when I modded my first nerf gun, turbo-stocked my long-strike,

[@rodemus18]

How is th twinshock holding up with k26?

[@shaw1439]

Where do I get the drain things for drain blasters like in the modular shotgun

[@CaptainXavier]

Ebay, Amazon, Home Depot

[@user-ub3ub1eq3j]

The intro kills me

[@Blight_750]

Too bad that we couldn’t make the twinshock shoot elites But how much K26 in length did you put inside ?

[@ra-meme6090]

Eggcelent

[@Blight_750]

I’ll have to do both mods 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻

[@professorgriddle5052]

Hey comment section, I'm planning to get a Caliburn for my birthday and I doubt that K26 and K25 are not healthy for 13-15 year olds, could someone find me a source for a spring around the same strength of a hammer shot? (With a link to the item page)

[@kayvalencia2223]

You know a sidestrike will take K26 but the rod and slide needs reinforcing, after the 100th shot the catch can fail but just keep lubing it up and don't over do it and it'll last

[@amiemallich3255]

What is the length/coil number for the Twinshock's K26?

[@CaptainXavier]

*holds fingers a bit apart* About that long. The minimum length to not have spring rattle.

[@AgentDisruption]

My guesses are no for the tri-break and yes for the twinshock.

[@djangoWier]

If no brass to fit megas, is there alluminium tube that may work? 25mm orange electrical conduit works as a barrel for mega darts i know that much and is a nice fit which i use in a buzz bee ultimate missile blast tanked longshot for single sniper shot.

[@CaptainXavier]

If only I did not live in the land of the inch...

[@djangoWier]

Captain Xavier .98 of an inch electrical conduit outside diameter has an inner diameter perfect size for megas and is orange in colour. Just flare out start of pipe to allow easy insert of dart.

[@CaptainXavier]

Some one mentioned that. I will have to try and find some. The issue is fitting that into an existing barrel.

[@josepha72513]

Awesome new intro cap ;)

[@maxzinusnightfury1208]

Hey Capt... Can you rebarrle the tri break to take stefens? And have a brass breach?

[@CaptainXavier]

+Maxzinus night Fury I don't see why not.

[@shiikon2193]

Hey I saw you on discovery Canada! Good for you man!

[@CaptainXavier]

:D

[@ra-meme6090]

Also,wat catch spring should i use for a big bag bow with stock,3.2 inches of k26 and a alpha trooper spring ,thanks

[@CaptainXavier]

+RA- MEME one that works? I like Fastenal #155

[@Mersh_mellow]

So, if/when the twinshock dies, I think that would be an amazing platform for dual panther tanks... I know air power doesnt play well with smart AR's on elite blasters, but maybe it would work better on mega, being there is a bigger airway?

[@CaptainXavier]

Hey, you might even be able to fit dual XBZ's and a compressor in a shell that big. :D

[@Mersh_mellow]

Captain Xavier that's a good idea, and if your good enough you could in theory always have a tank full, half pull, wait a tick, full pull. I might need to get me a twinshock now, I was gonna avoid it because I didn't care for the looks but I like that idea.

[@aidangreenfield3374]

Is there a way to make the break action prime the blaster?

[@CaptainXavier]

Spaceships, robots, self-driving cars. Anything is possible. Would it be easy? No.

[@gamerguy425]

I wonder what kind of ranges the Tri-break would get if it were re-barreled for elites after removing the stupid barrel shroud :-?

[@CaptainXavier]

I suspect it would be quite impressive.

[@owenpearson4634]

Is there room for storage on the inside of tri break?

[@CaptainXavier]

I pondered that. There is...but it would not be easy to get things out.

[@sampriems7520]

is it possible to modify the rotofury to use flywheels instead of plunger tubes to effectively make it a mega barricade? because it would probably be extremely effective. Also, has anyone made the mastodon fire rival ammo yet

[@CaptainXavier]

I will say what I always say to these "is it possible" questions. We literally have spaceships, back-flipping robots, and self-driving cars....so yes...it is possible. ;) And I have not heard of anyone making a Mastodon fire rival.

[@geekmonkey895]

So is it true that you're coming down to Dallas this year? Me and the kids really hope so. They've been wanting to meet you for a good long time now.

[@CaptainXavier]

Apparently... :D

[@yvngsudan2673]

nice vid cap

[@Karrot001]

gotta say, that new intro is as funny as you Cap. :D

[@rocker4144]

I like intro change thanks cap :)

[@juliannededrick163]

Captain the first Blaster you featured do you think it is possible to make a over under shotgun if you removed the bottom Barrel??

[@CaptainXavier]

Probably

[@juliannededrick163]

Captain Xavier do you think a buzz bee over under Barrel could fit a Mega Dart through it?

[@CaptainXavier]

Probably not

[@juliannededrick163]

Captain Xavier suggestions on barrels and maybe a stock?

[@samoswald4908]

ok thanks what would be a good predator stock replacement

[@megafreddyb123]

OMG cap congratulations man I saw you on discovery canada

[@CaptainXavier]

Right?! And Gizmodo, and Popular Mechanics, and Army4Life, and Rated Red...the list goes one. But I think Discovery Channel was the coolest! :D

[@megafreddyb123]

Captain Xavier very happy for you, you're by far my favorite nerftuber because of your ability and overall nerdiness, keep up the good work and I look forward to many future mods and Lego builds

[@JamesEllison69]

Dat intro do! Were u trying to see if a rapidstrike could take a K26?

[@CaptainXavier]

SCIENCE!

[@antblaster9k]

cap do you know of any way to make a centurion barrel into an nstrike attatchment

[@CaptainXavier]

+ant yes...add an N-strike barrel attachment socket.

[@zeroblade6599]

But can the tribreak take the thunderbow 5dart barrel? With some hacking up of the front end?

[@CaptainXavier]

Probably

[@zeroblade6599]

A new series by capt xavier: can it take a thunderbow?

[@darrenjacobson7456]

How much K26 does the Twin Shock take? would one length from Outofdarts, cut in half, be enough?

[@CaptainXavier]

Yes. And I cut it the minimum length to not have spring rattle

[@darrenjacobson7456]

Good to know, thanks.

[@notmuch_23]

I bet with the Kronos spring upgrade, you could remove the smart AR system and get decent performance firing all three Megas out of the Tri-Break.

[@CaptainXavier]

I doubt it actually. Smart ARs do not shotgun well. The air path is too inefficient. Tends to channel most of the air out the top one and the lower ones get nothing.

[@derpaknight2285]

For the lightake mega darts being to small you could mate the head of a lightake mega and the foam of a nerf mega

[@CaptainXavier]

+Derpaknight 22 this is true! But a lot of work. Could be worth it though.

[@homelee665]

Nice to see these and how you worked them. I have worried about getting into the TwinShock because I have seen/heard that it is complicated. Also that it has issues going back together with K26 in it. Any advice? P.S.: I saw the news video, great job!

[@CaptainXavier]

I didn't have any issue at all so...I got nothing...

[@koalafiedgames3691]

Captain Xavier Congrats on getting on the news!

[@dragonblaster-vu8wz]

I would like to see another episode of star wars blasters

[@CaptainXavier]

I need to hunt down a last few.

[@allmustgo2589]

hey cap! does the twinshock accept retaliator spring upgrades?

[@CaptainXavier]

That would probably be a downgrade honestly

[@allmustgo2589]

@@CaptainXavier im talking about retaliator spring upgrade, like the 9kg spring from worker. Aliexpress does not sell any nerf springs but retaliator's. can it fit the plunger rod of the twinshock?

[@CaptainXavier]

I still think that might be a downgrade. Mega blasters have really heavy springs because they fire such larger rounds. But they would probably fit but having never tried I cannot say for sure. If anything they might be too short.

[@totallynotdyllan6587]

Hey cap why don't you take out the flipping part out of the tri blast to make it smaller

[@CaptainXavier]

I probably will...but that was not the point of this video...

[@totallynotdyllan6587]

Captain Xavier oh sry

[@sepronindlvarn486]

What is your height and arm length? I have a project in mind for you.

[@CaptainXavier]

5'11" in boots and my arm length is proportional to my size?

[@Hoon_Dogg]

What if you made the Twinshock a 10-shot shotgun with elites and a spring stronger than a K26?

[@CaptainXavier]

Then you would have a 10 dart elite shotgun with a heavier spring...

[@Hoon_Dogg]

@@CaptainXavier I was just saying that I’d like to see that. You could drill out the ARs and kill a whole horde of zombies in one shot.

[@legozeke246]

Hey why don’t you take the K26 twinshot remove the pegs and make it a rival shotgun? I bet with K26 you could double or even triple your load. Especially since there actually isn’t a Rival shotgun really.

[@CaptainXavier]

I doubt it would work honestly. The issue would be the SMART AR system.

[@samoswald4908]

do you know when Outofdarts new Heir mini is coming out

[@CaptainXavier]

Nope
