That out sync part looks like an anime

[@1Scimetar]

Next time, I've heard that clapping helps with syncing up audio in videos like this. Not sure how it works, but from what I've heard, you can clap to make a large spike on the graphed sound which you can match to the clapping motion in the video. The guys at Achievement Hunter count out up and down motions in computer menus, usually on a video game pause menu. Maybe you could do something similar by counting out loud and on fingers. As for the planned Unfair review, might I suggest getting Walcom with his spring thunder blaster as one of the "mop the floor" option.

[@CaptainXavier]

That would only help if the audio track was separate from the video track...which it is not in my editor...because my editor is cheap...I should fix that.

[@despicableocelot8459]

Captain Xavier, which editor do you use?

[@CaptainXavier]

MS Movie Maker. My videos are so simple that is all I have ever needed. Now that I am wanting to increase my production quality I really need to get something more powerful.

[@1Scimetar]

@@CaptainXavier I've heard that Sony Vegas is popular.

[@despicableocelot8459]

Captain Xavier Have you tried OBS?

[@ilchickentv340]

Could some rattly K26 have fit inside the liberator spring? Would that even help? Also, I can't wait to see your recommendations for rival pump action!

[@samuelg6552]

was doing my homework, then I saw this

[@Orax1701]

Constructive criticism only: (I am using headphones) Head mic sound is not very loud (the sponsor inserts are much louder), sound is quite tinny, we can hear your breathing (which you already know) and there is a distinct popping sound on every word beginning with "P". I much prefer the lapel mic (when you weren't accidentally rubbing it whilst stroking/scratching your luscious beard) - I couldn't really hear the trains through my headphones, not that I minded the trains anyway. The actual content of the video - 👍

[@battleleur3375]

I can reccommend clapping every time you start recording a new scene so you can check if audio is synchronized

[@osmacar5331]

That's works

[@CaptainXavier]

It would also require that my editor have audio and video seperate... which mine doesn't...because it is cheap.

[@MegaGaming11]

I honestly think that you might be able to add a couple of O-rings to the plunger head, increasing the seal and thus increasing performance.

[@kainehillier1659]

Nice

[@5AUC3]

I used an old raider spring in my liberator and it seemed to work very well

[@DragonQueLee]

Will you make a K26 and/or unfair comparisons video featuring the Chinese "Blaze Storm" clones? (I've seen very few such videos in English, mostly in German)

[@UnitZER0]

How do you feel about deleting the priming ratchet? Personally, I prime by feel, so when speed shooting, too many ratchets tends to leave me locked mid-prime. Removing the ratchet tends to make for less ambiguity when priming. As a result, I have deleted the priming ratchets from all of my blasters.

[@CaptainXavier]

I usually leave them in. I rarely remove locks without a really good reason. You seem to have a good reason so Ibsupport your choice.

[@UnitZER0]

@@CaptainXavier Have you tried out the internal return spring mod on the Chaos Meteor? TaG has a video on it, and I did it myself, and its amazing. I don't know about you, but my Meteor had a pretty serious projectile drop issue that hopup adjustments wouldn't fix. Drilling out the faux vent holes flattened the trajectory right out. Only the shroud vent holes, not the inner black barrel. Add that to a ratchet delete, and it makes the Meteor almost a perfect primary. The main reason I ask about the vent holes is that I'd love if someone with the equipment could do a slow motion analysis of what actually happens to a rival style ball when fired. Is the backspin really that noticeable, and what is happening with the air that spills out behind? are there vacuum and/or turbulence effects? Do "speed holes" or barrel ports affect this?

18:15 Fairly Serious Flaw !is Fixable! 90% sure you're alluding to the inability to 'top off' reload the magazine; truly a downer for a Shotgun in an HvZ game. I really love this blaster though; and have designed a Mod that Fixes the issue. I hope you see this comment and will attempt to apply the fix to your own blaster before final judgements. I'm not great at making tutorials but I hope you'll be able to interpret the information here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3964976 Please ask if you need clarifications.

[@CaptainXavier]

Well that is just awesome!

[@matthewyoho5422]

So your tests with K26 in the Sentry x2 have conclusively confirmed what I suspected was actually the case - the spring is A problem, but it's not by any means THE problem with the Sentry's performance: I'm getting your EXACT numbers just using a stock Hypnos spring in mine, because I also cleaned out/adjusted/re-lubricated the o-ring on the front barrel section, and outright replaced the stock plunger o-ring with one originally from a Kronos. It seems the anemic 70 FPS average is mostly the result of a poor air seal.

[@CaptainXavier]

Almost certainly. Some people have reported that theirs hit Rival levels out of the box so quality control is probably a factor too.

[@JohnJames.]

I Teflon tape the seals as well, thinking that could be to. I got a spring from a auto store, hits better but don't know what the difference is between this spring and k26

[@hornettecco7499]

Does the music that plays when he opens up the sentry at 3:05 remind anyone of the music from the Lego Battles video game? The moment I heard the startup of it I felt instant deja vu.

[@CanisterManister]

Sad about the firing demo.

[@randomsnow6510]

A. You should test use k25 and k14 since they are similar to k25 but with different diameters. I think k14 is stiffer than k26

[@osmacar5331]

They just have them on for style points, airsoft doesn't demand them but it's common place to do so, firearms do by law and the more the merrier

Captain Xavier do you plan on doing anything with the ultra line. I know the blaster isn't the best but perhaps an eir attachment

[@CaptainXavier]

EIR already has an attachment for it.

[@SuicideNeil]

Makes me wonder if someone could mold actual bullet-shaped Rival rounds that could be used in certain styles of blaster, to improve their aerodynamics- same idea as the bullet shaped paintball ammo designed for mag-fed paintball markers. No good for other types of blaster, but all the same...

[@CaptainXavier]

Yeah yeah. THen they could make them longer to improve flight stabilization and add a hollow rubber tip to add mass to retain intertia better. I like it. Odd no one has thought of this before... ;)

[@captsomeguy1]

@@CaptainXavier I think he's talking about knockoff blasters that are like the yellow hammershot in K26 - episode 87. So, I guess blasters that are practically clones of existing blasters but with a different shell. Zecong Toys (a chinese company) makes blasters under their Blaze Storm line that are clones of Nerf blasters, but with a different shell and worst performance. Someone posted an image of Zecong's knockoff hammershot on Reddit (r/Nerf/comments/djleal/ordered_these_two_hammerfakes_from_chinaland_will/). Also, in Walcom's new video, he showed off a knock-off of Dart Zone's Magnum Superdrum. Same 40 dart capacity and useless arm brace thing, but different color and cooler looking shell. I'm guessing he's referring to knockoff blasters like those.

Coop, Drac, CJ Nerf and some people on Reddit also got around 70 fps for the Sentry. I don't think he got a lemon. Rather, I think you just happened to get the um...winner. (What's an antonym of lemon?)

[@hardstylin8136]

@@captsomeguy1 It’s because the sentry x2 got a update. The old ones shoot around 70, and the newer one shoot around 100-110 out of box. The way you can identify the upgraded one from the old ones is if the line from the grip goes up diagonal to the base of the gun, the line on the old gun goes up a little and then wraps around to the back. So by that, you can tell that the one he used in this video is the older version gun.
