Captain Xavier's Loadout - Weight

[@Parker2400]

Thank you for bringing up service members. Being a comm troop I've carried 80lbs depending on the situation.

[@CaptainXavier]

Thank you for your service!

[@quantumyoutubeguy2]

If doom happens, this guy is definitely the doom slayer.

[@alessandrodaley5230]

wow thats pretty heavy you are my inspiration for armor that i will eventually make so cool

[@CaptainXavier]

Thanks!

[@benlam419]

Could try a battle belt with a lighter vest for a lighter load out. You must get quite a workout with that load out on your back.

[@DeltaWolf1000]

Pounds? What are these mystical pounds you speak of? Are they like the Kilogram?

[@CaptainXavier]

Yes, just...smaller. :P

[@DeltaWolf1000]

Captain Xavier Ah...okay...haha =P

[@atom6748]

DeltaWolf1000 a pound is roughly 450g or 2.2 pounds per kilo

[@DeltaWolf1000]

NosiTheVampire haha right. See I've never really learnt the conversion haha

[@qwertyasdf66]

For videos like this, i just make up my own conversions (before getting bored and watching something else). Thus, the total weight of this loadout is actually -15.7kg as far as i'm concerned. I know that doesn't seem to make sense, but it's like the Fahrenheit/Celsius conversion. Or maybe it's made of helium.

[@aidangreenfield3374]

quick question what's your thought on the Deploy?

[@CaptainXavier]

Seriously?

[@aidangreenfield3374]

Captain Xavier Ya, I think it had a cool gimmick and unfortunately it was my most powerful blaster until I got a hammershot and a stryfe. I have about 20 is blasters now. I should really look into modding. on the topic of opinions how do you like the retaliator? besides the rutlup

[@CaptainXavier]

I see. I really don't have an opinion on it. I have never attempted to use one in combat which is how I judge a blaster. I agree it was a cool gimmick but I feel it was not taken far enough. If you are going to make a blaster fold up then make it fold up into something that looks like a brief case, not just a slightly folder blaster. I also, being left handed I am not a fan of blasters with a left side mag well, like the Deploy or the Raider/Rampage. I hear it is hard to mod and has poor performance. I also know (and GOD am I sick of it) that Coop772 did a very negative review on it and as a result anytime you so much as mention the Deploy his fanboys come out of the woodwork and start frothing at the mouth and spouting hate. I currently have two because I have integration plans for them.

[@jaredbaker5447]

Ya know, I've been seeing a lot of videos recently about the hate for the deploy, so I decided to do a little test with it to see where it stood with my other n-strike blasters. And guess what? It performed just as well as the godlike longshot.

[@CaptainXavier]

crazy_itiot Thank you for that.

[@gairkarohncatarn4527]

My school backpack actually weighs 30 pounds, so I know that I can carry at least half of that stuff, but that alone cuts off my circulation. Probably going to upgrade the strap padding on it soon.

[@CaptainXavier]

That is the beauty of the plate carrier. It distributes the weight fairly well.

[@xaviergannett4409]

can you make a Can it Take a K-26 video of pistols with built in magazines? PS my name is Xavier :)

[@CaptainXavier]

Cool name! ;) Yes, I plan to do a special on them. I just have to acquire them all. I know there is the Magnus, the Han Solo Blaster, and the Rey blaster but I could have sworn I saw the 4th. Can you think of it?

[@jiminator7696]

Captain Xavier where's the k26 video today though

[@xavierchapdelaine1217]

My name’s Xavier too

[@hunterdelta1585]

A great vid, good discussion on loadout design choices. Thank ya kindly, sah!

[@CaptainXavier]

You are welcome!

[@jeremylopat4092]

If you released it all at once you could possibly have enough power to shoot multiple demolisher rockets pretty far, or large numbers of rival rounds or darts

[@jeremylopat4092]

I saw in idea for a shoulder cannon/ underslung titan what was pressurized with a back up array of 6 12mg co2 canisters using 6 quick adapt connectors. And you'd have to do is flip a switch and you'd have a full tank after each shot. And enough for very large absolvers for a shoulder cannon

[@rzrider683]

You said something in the beginning about longbows. Do you hunt, or something? What do you use longbows for?

[@CaptainXavier]

Target practice and medieval combat.

[@MovieTacular]

You do medieval reen? I've just completed my 15th century armor,based on a find from Agincourt. I'd love to see yours :D

[@CaptainXavier]

It is in the intro of the Cloak Clasp Video. It can also be seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4vHn6Kql89jhdk

[@thenerfbeaver6482]

I would love to see the lighter loadout

[@abrokenemmo9254]

where did you get the mask

[@CaptainXavier]

Amazon

[@slagle92]

Talking about HvZ, do you plan on going to NvZ in June?

[@CaptainXavier]

Not currently...but that could change.

[@corey_french1890]

+captainxavier how much does it all cost

[@CaptainXavier]

I have no idea.

[@aidangreenfield3374]

loved it

[@aidangreenfield3374]

Fluffy Force hey

[@brrupo1390]

Because you keep asking captain Xavier, those xploders guns fire a little gel sphere similar to paintballs and explode on contact

[@ChickenNoodleSoup12]

in your fort war how did you make the eliminator shoot Two at once

[@CaptainXavier]

Redreaper 46 There will be a build guide soon...

[@Kyle_etc]

Are you coming to NvZ 2017? It's going to be my first HvZ, and you're one of my favorite nerf KZbinrs. It would be cool to see you there!

[@CaptainXavier]

I would like to...I don't know if I will be able to.

[@Kyle_etc]

Captain Xavier alright, thanks for responding. I await to hear your answer!

[@bobblade2681]

Holy shit that is insane how do you carry all that

[@CaptainXavier]

I added to it bit by bit each time it got heavier, I got stronger.

[@Cole-pq7hu]

what did you say the scale was called again? and do you have a product link pls? thx

[@CaptainXavier]

It is a digital bow scale. Just search Amazon for "digital bow scale."

[@Cole-pq7hu]

thanks

[@Strawberry92fs]

I was gonna guess 70 pounds for soldiers. But I know a lot of the time they end up hoofin' it with well over 100 pounds of gear, as I understand it the problem was identified in the 50's, a bunch of studies were done in Vietnam, new doctrine was written to incorporate the new data...and then soldiers continued to march over packed and over weighed.

[@rzrider683]

Are you going to have a big Christmas special in Chrismas? Perhaps a amazing mod, or somethin?

[@CaptainXavier]

It will be the day after...but yes.

[@rzrider683]

Captain Xavier Yay

[@scarlettbandit2803]

Captain Xavier #FestivusFortheRestofUs

[@adrunkcaliburn457]

what about the other shoulder mounts

[@CaptainXavier]

I only carry one at a time and they are all about the same weight as this one.

[@adrunkcaliburn457]

Captain Xavier I know but which one is the heaviest

[@CaptainXavier]

The Titan is the heaviest but not by much.

[@adrunkcaliburn457]

Captain Xavier oh ok thx for the quick response

[@crazyfry6028]

do you still have that n strike old rayven i dont want to buy just its important

[@CaptainXavier]

Glaz fog yes

[@crazyfry6028]

Captain Xavier do you want another one

[@CaptainXavier]

Sure!

[@crazyfry6028]

Captain Xavier ok it might take a little while but it will end up in your arsenal

[@orca1361]

Hey Captain X could you do a mod for the star wars rey blaster?

[@patrickrandall883]

Are you going to nvz in Athens?

[@CaptainXavier]

I would like to, but probably not. Athens is a long ways away and I don't do well in the heat. However, if they ever host one up here...

[@patrickrandall883]

Captain Xavier aww, that's a shame. This will be my first nvz and I thought I would get to see you. You should strip down your gear to a minimum to reduce heat,and you could start a go fund me to get plane tickets and we would all totally donate to it! We would all love to see you! -Patrick P.S. I sweat a ton to.

[@zherron42]

You should do a nerf war or HvZ run in full Gothic plate some time!

[@CaptainXavier]

That would be fun!

[@chan_chan727]

You're awesome

[@on1yadam]

well damn, that is military weights

[@ryansadventures8708]

Also in comparison a 11 year olds goalie gear is between 30-40 pounds and I have played goalie and you are pretty mobile as well as it’s not like your just using one or two muscles to move something

[@gonzaless1584]

How's that Gundam amour coming along?

[@CaptainXavier]

Slowly...still in committee

[@zoeluna6934]

Is the loadout comfortable?

[@CaptainXavier]

Extremely. It has a very satisfying and comforting weight and feel to it.

[@zoeluna6934]

Captain Xavier thanks by the way your awesome and merry Christmas

[@jackdoesnerf8584]

Nice video

[@faultynexus6694]

what shotgun did you run at the Fort Worden War?

[@CaptainXavier]

The Xshot Eliminator.

[@ROXYshark]

Jeeze, I can barely jog with 50lb, this would turn me into a turret.

[@joshuellejulian8058]

hello everyone have a good day/night and Merry Christmas!!

[@Tempestuous_Aether]

Can anyone help? I've got a tri strike that the trigger and slamfire mech's extension spring isn't strong enough to disengage the catch. Anyone got any tips?

[@CaptainXavier]

I assume you increased the spring load?

[@Tempestuous_Aether]

Captain Xavier yes, I increased the spring with a omw Retaliator 6kg spring and the catch I doubled up with a lock spring.

[@CaptainXavier]

This is the issue with Slamfire. It is finicky. I have not tinkered with the Tri-Strike much but it looks like you might need to increase the tension spring.

[@Tempestuous_Aether]

Thanks, I'm going to try that.

[@christianwilliams4795]

haha thats about what actual historical armor weighed (armor only)

[@jasperralinovsky6376]

could you "show off" your suit of armor?

[@CaptainXavier]

Eventually. I'm not sure I have it all with my actually. I think some of it is still in our mobile armory back in Idaho...I will check when next I visit. I want to make a stand for it and put it on display in my house somewhere.

[@corey_french1890]

Captain Xavier sick

[@legoandrewschneider]

Captain Xavier what is your favorite nerf gun ever

[@milesellis4534]

5:54 i have that problem too.

[@hhs8624]

Talk about overprepared

[@elenakovalev5416]

how come I upload vids in the middle of the night eastern america

[@nerfinfineon5589]

Please show your shotguns mod

[@OsamuWuVT]

well you said you make armor so i guess even before watching the video fraction of that isn't heavy for you.

[@CaptainXavier]

And it is good exercise. :P

[@theoddishsquad7458]

Not judging but why was the audio slightly worse than usual?

[@CaptainXavier]

Because the mic was not right in front of me like it usually is when I am working at my bench.

[@theoddishsquad7458]

Oh ok thanks for replying

[@jamietus1012]

How do you feel if you've been hit

[@CaptainXavier]

Most times I can still feel it. Or I can hear it. Or I can see it. Or someone informs me that I have been hit.

[@raymondwest3256]

cap how old are you

[@CaptainXavier]

I'm as old as my tongue and a little older than my teeth.

[@raymondwest3256]

What on earth also.how many haters called you a noob That unknown forgrip was from a du du du deploy oh the horror ov it all

[@CaptainXavier]

I am old enough to run for US Senate but not old enough to run for President. Yeah...got like...30 or so comments telling me that...I actually figured it out while editing the video...wish I had just cut that section of the video. What is really annoying is all the hate I get on the Black Friday video because I bought the Deploy. I bought it for parts but that doesn't stop the haters. :P

[@raymondwest3256]

Ya no hate to you and I think that the pump and grip are great parts to put on a pump retal of others so frankly the deploy us good for parts ......?.........just parts

[@raymondwest3256]

my sister said you stink but I think you are my fav youtube ever

[@jorgehowlett3404]

so you actually are just boba fett right?

[@CaptainXavier]

I wish. I would love a jetpack...

[@jorgehowlett3404]

I know right

[@jorgehowlett3404]

next project?

[@CaptainXavier]

hmmm...

[@Jo-rz6bs]

So about 20kg. I can do that.

[@lukevscoots145]

ok

[@battlefrog5589]

alright

[@lukeparsons4965]

cool

[@eggyzx190]

Do the new boomco halo gun for can It take a k26

[@opgaming1417]

Eggyzx it can

[@kilesov117]

Just about ANY boomco blaster can take a K26

[@lukevscoots145]

nerf rayven

[@rzrider683]

You should put imrs in the shoulder cannon. It would shoot a ton faster, and would be absolutely awesome in my opinion. Although, it would probably need a full rewire and new motors for it to last a long time.

[@CaptainXavier]

It does run on IMRS.

[@zenonbryantlopez8091]

my nerf loud out wayes 84 pounds

[@CaptainXavier]

See? I am not the only crazy one. Where is all the weight on yours?

[@zenonbryantlopez8091]

The guns

[@zenonbryantlopez8091]

And the backpack

[@cpatt9188]

Sup I commissioned you for a hammer shot on etsy

[@CaptainXavier]

Recently?

[@cpatt9188]

Captain Xavier yah kindve it was about a hammershot on etsy and my account name is cpatters38 probably a week if not less ago

[@cpatt9188]

But we didn't actually make it happen

[@michellejackman6555]

Captain xavier can you put your entire load out on please like all your guns in your battle pack and everything when I started watching I've wanted you put EVERYTHING on pls reply and make a video of it

[@CaptainXavier]

Michelle Jackman um...go back two videos...I just did this...

[@Burasta]

I'd buy that for £47.61 🇬🇧

[@grahamturner2640]

🤣

[@domahawk2273]

Can you please make a video that tells everyone you postelcode

[@CaptainXavier]

I'm pretty sure I already did...if not it is on the About page of my Channel

[@lukevscoots145]

Could i pay you 10$ for one of the ravens you have i love your videos not a joke

[@CaptainXavier]

The going rate for a Rayven is closer to $55 minimum. Some go for twice that amount. I got really lucky to find one at Goodwill and I have plans for it. Glad you enjoy the channel!

[@foznoth]

You Americans really need to drag yourself in to the 19th century and use a logical measurement system, possibly based on multiples of 10.

[@CaptainXavier]

Base 12 is actually more logical in some ways. It has more factors than 10. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12. Compared to 1, 2, 5, 10. After all, you still use a base 12 time system. That being said...yeah, we should have switched to metric looking ago. And we would have...except the man who was supposed to meet with President Jefferson and convince him was kidnapped by pirates...not even kidding...

[@foznoth]

Problem is how many bits of imperial use base 12, inches in feet, I'm actually at a loss to think of any others, and I'm of the age that I was educated between the two systems. Taking your logic to it's extreme, infinity has an infinite number of factors. Though I think it would class as inhumane mental torture trying to teach anything about infinity to anyone under master's degree age. I thought the US had adopted metric, but then convert back. All very convoluted. You do have 1 of the rather rare standard kg I believe. Not you personally of course

[@foznoth]

This is worth a watch, if you're interested. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZ62e4t5a8Skh5o

[@CaptainXavier]

No, Infinity does not have any factors because infinity is a concept, not a number. However while, yes, an absurdly large number would have far more factors, it would quickly cease to be practical. Humans tend to use base ten systems because we have 10 fingers and thus it is just natural to us. But many things would have been far simpler if we had 8. A octal number system (while having the same numbers of factors as 10) would have given us a far more natural understanding of Binary and Hex (the languages of computers) as, like octal, they are powers of 2. Number theory is fun! :D For instance, you can count to 31 on one hand if you do it in binary.
