Can it Take a K26? - Episode 31

[@Eyckzim]

"I'd rather have no trigger than a faux trigger" I felt the same way when I took mine apart. Brilliant phrasing 🤣

[@jaredbaker5447]

This video makes me want to go out and buy a bunch of dart zone blasters. They're all so cool

[@baconlord9062]

You mean adventure force lol

[@hman6159]

@@baconlord9062 Adventure force is a subline created by DartZone.

[@Bossgaming60105]

I know and I want that legend fire, I'll put a k26 in it and brass the cylinder and put in a better air seal. It might be hitting almost 200fps after that.

[@DiabolicallyDevious]

This aged beautifully

[@Bossgaming60105]

Some of them are easy to mod too

[@ShinKyuubi]

It seems like these Dart Zone blasters are better than NERF even stock, the off brands seem to be getting better and take mods better as well.

[@donthecon]

ShinKyuubi the Magnum is like the cheapest and farthest shooting dart blaster you can get. I have two and they are beautiful

[@slimebuck]

nerf is too afraid of getting sued

[@alaeriia01]

Something tells me Dart Zone was started by Nerf modders. Beefy mechanisms, slamfire capable of taking a K26, no air restrictors, and the new LED blaster they're coming out with has separate circuits for the LEDs and the flywheels! Also, yay for chainable belts.

[@Alexplainow]

Actually Dart Zone just keep using older designs as plastic/resin/injection molding was quite as good back then and Nerf pretty much launch themselves to the front of it ~10 years ago with the Stampede; while Dart Zone (and BuzzBee) just not take the left turn that Nerf had after the failure of the Vortex line, which was dead on arrival as Nerf had no commitment to it unlike the rival line; but that is rather ominous to the rival line.

[@spartan_ma777]

Weird, right?

[@Terra_Stara]

legend fire master key... I like the sounds of that

[@CaptainXavier]

It does have a lovely ring to it...

[@Terra_Stara]

+Captain Xavier any ideas on how you would go about that because I was thinking of putting the prime underneath and connecting two on each side of a blaster because they are fairly cheap, sort of similar to walcom's hellsender (the double magnus blaster in case I got the integration name wrong)

[@CaptainXavier]

Nope...no idea

[@bobtehdog145]

Joshua sardinas just connect the front barrel to the bigger gun and allow the back to swivel down

[@milesboeddinghaus7588]

What I did was to cut out the plastic along the priming rod, and 3D print a piece that hooked onto it and primed at the top. I then cut off most the barrel so that the cylinder still stayed on and took of the handle

[@Sbomb16]

Just a heads up, regarding the tri-fire and its adventure force counterpart, the air restrictors can be removed by taking out 3 screws in the barrels, and taking off the back cap. They fall out easily, and is probably the easiest, and cheapest, blaster to upgrade. I use it as my backup blaster, and it performs much better than my old triad

[@hereigoagain04]

I love you! Thanks for the Magnum segment! This episode alone makes watching your entire catalogue worth the time. Thanks for all you do & your humor as you do it. I don't even care that this makes me sound all fanboy. You rock!

[@CaptainXavier]

You are welcome! And thank you!

[@homelee665]

Probably my favorite K26 episode yet. Glad to see this. Thanks for sharing.

[@masterSageHarpuia]

I kind of want to see the front pump of the new quatro blast and put it on the magnum.

[@B_Skizzle]

Oh my god yes, the Quatroshot's front grip is amazing. (I got one just yesterday.)

[@nilessmith7719]

That trifire becomes much easier to prime with a leather lanyard strung through it.

[@CaptainXavier]

That is a much better idea than a keyring. Oh! Someone sent me a paracord key fob! That might work!

[@rexcristallospada6496]

The magnum super drum is my current secondary (modded of course), and I absolutely love it, but I'm for sure upgrading the spring now.

[@Torchbuscus]

Rex Cristallo Spada CT- 3981 I'm curious as to how you holster that thing. Wasn't even aware that was reasonably possible.

[@ziploc2000]

The Magnum can take a k26, but I can't prime it easily with one. Worth a try, but I ended up putting back the stock spring. I did take off the silly arm thing and the flapper that stops you putting stuff down the barrel and into the drum.

[@ethanzimski6986]

I feel like you could flip the legendfire upside down to mount it to something turning it into a top prime reverse break where it breaks up instead of down

[@joeleustice]

That Legendfire does paint up very nicely. I don't use mine, but it looks sweet hanging on the wall as a display item. After sanding and priming, I dry brushed the main body slowly... into a nice metal, then did a wood style of paint on the handle and pump grip thing. (Never take it outside kids.. or adults.)

[@yodaskoda117]

Will you try making a 40 shot absolver out of a magnum cilinder?

[@ow5929]

OH MY GOD YES

[@CaptainXavier]

I would need something like a pumpkin cannon to power it...but it would be fun.

[@B_Skizzle]

Come on Cap, if anyone could do it, it would be you.

[@brandongregory6869]

Just picked up a magnum at goodwill for 5 dollars. Never even heard of it before but, damn this thing is fun.

[@lochlannwatling3482]

Turbo advance would be better for that :)

[@dmdizzy]

Also, production goof!! When you bring up the 'After' stats on the Superdrum, the 'Before' stats are the ones from the Legendfire.

[@CaptainXavier]

Dang it! I was so careful! Oh well. Thanks for pointing it out.

[@KatAspen]

The Legendfire can be intergraded sideways with a bold-like bar mechanism attached to the priming handle. That way it can still reload.

[@TheBuffaloPaladin]

*I WANT to see a forty round absolver.* push the limits of what's possible captain.

[@donthecon]

I go to the Magnum almost a year ago and I put a 12kg nerfturf spring in it and used some epoxy putty to reinforce everything. consistently shoots almost 100 feet. it's amazing

[@jamietus1012]

i had a modified maverick, I put a night finder spring (or the n-strike version if I've got the names confused) but the metal rod snapped in 2 or 3 and it only catched half the time, but it hit like a beast

[@slimebuck]

seeing the quality of these new "off" brands it makes me really question if nerf is still at the top... like nerf seems to not care anymore like they did in the early 2000's

[@CaptainXavier]

Nerf does seem to be slipping. I suspect part of it is running out of good ideas. At the same time their competitors are REALLY upping their game lately. BuzzBee plastic is still cheap but as a result so are their blasters and their designs are vastly superior to many Nerf blasters at this point. DartZone has also surprised everyone with the stock power of their blasters. Competition is good! It breeds innovation! Nerf will have to step up their game and I look forward to the results!

[@slimebuck]

I love nerf, but I haven't wanted to ever buy anything new from them (well maybe the regulator... but im holding out) for over 5 years. I wished nerf made their accessories easier to get. Like stocks, barrels, masterkeys, stuff from regulators. went to the store one time to buy a stock and barrel kit and it was over $40. for a couple of peice of plastic and NO BLASTER??? yeah no. I went home and looked online for someone selling nerf stuff, for $40 I got :- Hyperfire , that big blue starwars special one (came with the barrel, stock and scope!), the Recon Mk 2, a rampage, a rhino fire and a centurion. yeah, screw your brand new prices nerf

[@karisasani7006]

Which probably explains why they finally made a blaster that has select fire

[@deekswap695]

@@slimebuck oh boy do I have news for you

[@TheREALwymario]

I find it hilarious that the Legendfire's internals are green, too. Happy St. Patty's Day (in 2018).

[@penitentparadox]

Hey Captain Xavier, A fun thing I did with my Legend Fire was putting a Sharpfire stock on the back for stability, you should totaly try it if you ever buy a new one.

[@jeffreycarman2185]

I love the magnum super drum!

[@beingthatguy8298]

Now that i see the magnum drum, and since walcom gave you a fearless fire, i was wondering, would it be possible to replace the fearless fire's puny 20ish dart drum and replace it with the magnums 40 round drum?

[@CaptainXavier]

We have spaceships...so yes, obviously it is possible. Easily? With the tools and skills I have. No.

[@alaeriia01]

You could have the LegendFire break backwards (the bit with the plunger tube goes down instead of the barrel). It might take some adjusting of the break switch, but it should be possible. Protip: You can ditch the wrist-rest on the Magnum and flip its stalk around to make a nifty hand guard. Also, it looks like you have a removable Magnum drum; it requires an Allen wrench (shove it into the hole in the back).

[@jacobelgan5196]

I'm planning on turning the magnum into an auto springer and this info was very useful for me

[@rabadabadoo491]

loving the new included numbers😊

[@gamerguy425]

the little triad blaster I forgot the name of has a very unreliable rotation mech (at least the one walcolm had was). you could manually rotate it but then you might as well use a tri blast

[@jordanhaney657]

Oh Captain my captain, have you considered making a 2-shot absolver? For example, taking an 8 round cylinder and making it fire the 4 darts in the top, bottom, left and right position, and then have it be rotated to place the remaining 4 darts in these positions so it can immediately be fired again. No reload or switching necessary.

[@brokenwings7802]

My legendfire (completely stock) lasted me about a week, I shot it about for about 3 magazines and the connector for the barrel to the main assembly blew up and it just stopped working from then on no fixing it just gone

[@stuartkseels]

That first blaster reminds me of a Dardick. Almost a Dardick, Liberator, Luger kind of vibe.

[@zargax245]

I adore the long videos 😆😍

[@penguinLol]

it would be silly to make a magnum superdrum absolver

[@B_Skizzle]

Silly, sure. But amazing, HELL YES.

[@chloe92us]

Is it just me or is this episode much better than the rest? O_o

[@Sigmaprime369]

You could mount the legendfire sideways , so it could break to the side.

[@alexnam1230]

For HvZ The Magnum would be a beast because you can top off the drum as you are moving

[@blackwolftucker2890]

can the blitzfire also be... A REVOLVING SHOTGUN?!

[@weeabird4335]

The old Buzzbee Double-Shot? (I'm not sure of the actual name, I just know it's an old break-barrel double barreled shottie.)

[@cwac5229]

Captain. How much K26 did you safely fit into this? I'm cutting length with a friend of mine and dont wanna underutilize of put in too much.

[@pigfish99]

A possible name for your X-strike Superdrum: ThunderFist A possible name for a TEK-3 modded beyond all belief: Backlash

[@jamesgiffin1830]

any ideas on how to make the trigger still work on the superdrum? I don't know enough on the mechanism to attempt adjustment without probably ruining it.

[@blastpressure710]

I realize this is an earlier video, but I am currently binge watching CITAK26, and I have a theory as to how to masterkey the legendfire: the pump is unnecessary, as I see it. It could be minimized by removing the barrel and pump, and putting a priming rod on the side of the plunger rod. At that point, you could take the grip off and epoxy the faux trigger's place and place it under a recon barrel or whatever you choose with the front of the cylinder being left open without the barrel, effectively leaving it as a front-loader which you could change out if desired. I realize I have done an atrocious job of describing this, but I really believe this would make for an effective underbarrel blaster.

[@CaptainXavier]

+blastpressure710 you could also just mount it sideways.

[@blastpressure710]

Captain Xavier true, but my idea is to keep it in the traditional orientation of am underbarrel launcher.

[@bobertjohnson2264]

So not only does the magnum super drum have slam fire and a 40 round turret, but it can take K26 and goes up to 130 fps. This is like a superblaster...

[@tariqrahim223]

A bit late but I think you have a lemon blitzfire, other reviews say that it gets 73-80 fps stock.

[@theswapmeetflea]

7:56 Recently, I found a dart zone legend fire , it was so fun to shoot until 1 day after it turned out to be a lemon, from what you say , it's exactly what mine is suffering from , I finally got the answer I was looking for , I saw many reviews before finding this video , now I'm afraid to buy another from where I got it because what if it's another lemon, I wish you could've fix it so that I could use that to fix mine , but , alas, 10$ down the drain.

[@conallthewolf4103]

*evil giggles* yes the magnum super drum can’t take a k26

[@joshuathompson3002]

Hello caption x you could cut down the barrel on the legend fire make it shorter and add a stock that could be fixed or modular

[@THEBEAN6412]

the legend fire would be the perfect boom stick

[@itsfangs8362]

Good to know!

[@joeleustice]

The LegendFire is kinda weird, but the way it opens is cool, and looks GREAT with a paint job.

[@crowbarbill7538]

I think that you should try making a mix of the blitzstrike and legend fire. Then you could make a great revolver rifle with that cool lever cylinder loader. What do you think?

[@CaptainXavier]

Merging the rotation mechs would be a beast...but possible. I think you should try it.

[@calebsmith4255]

Oh captain my captain... you should put a long stock on the legendfire to make it a mock sniper rifle

[@AliceAXP]

All of these I plan to get now

[@embroblier4729]

Hey captain x you could make the legend fire side primed so you could remove the priming mech and shorten it to the start of the barrel

[@Takowowo]

I asked and you delivered. Good stuff

[@thetruewookie3219]

i know what i must do now thanks cap!

[@TheNoobmaster98]

I wonder how turning a legend Fire into a shoulder cannon would go, I mean even if it wasn't that good functionally having that huge rifle on your shoulder would look cool as heck

[@Kermomancer]

For the sake of making a Legend Fire masterkey, why not secure the front of the blaster and have it open and load from the back? Less plastic to get in the way of opening and a bit more practical with a rear reload.

[@CaptainXavier]

Very true. You should do that and send me pictures. :P

[@Kermomancer]

If I ever learn how to integrate things, I'll be sure to do so. So far, the most I've done is put Tek 6 and Tek 10 springs in things.

[@dairylawnmax879]

You going to put a pump grip on the magnum?

[@djwubzee]

Isn't the little tri-revolver with k26 an nerf compatible m6 handcannon?

[@aayush7645]

Add a key ring to the bottom of the 3 shot pistol.

[@ModSquad]

Nice paracord bracelet!!!

[@ytho3557]

I tried putting a k26 in a magnum superdrum and ended up having to take the catch spring out of my other one and use it to double up the catch because it wasn't strong enough.

[@CaptainXavier]

Yeah, I think I need to do this in mine now too. It caught for a while but now won't.

[@scarlettbandit2803]

What if you mounted a legendfire as an undermount sideways? I get taking it apart again would be rather tricky, but, would it be practical enough to work?

[@CaptainXavier]

I don't think this would work well. However, you could also just forget the whole breaking action and reload it like a normal non-breaking revolver.

[@scarlettbandit2803]

True, but I am a big fan of the break action style. Tempted to make a loadout around one.

[@neoseeker7160]

Captain, be looking for a legend fire in a a box soon, because i am going to send u one😁

Hey Cap. For the legend Fire master key what would you think would be the best way to mount. My wife likes her demolisher but she did not like the hamp.i trimmed the hamp off. She saw this video and was wanting me to do this for her. We went to local Wal-Mart and found the lengendfire on clearance for 3 dallors.i bought all 6 of them they had figured would be great for our local kids wars for our loaners. She loves the idea of the master key any thoughts. I also found out that the 12 kg retaliator worker spring works great the Legendfire but it makes the plastic warp. Sorry if this is so long. Needing help thanks

[@jessenunez2306]

Do you need to rewire your blaster if you are planning on using imrs like 2 of them

No. Stock wires and motors can take 2 IMRs just fine. 3 will eventually burn them out. $...don't do it...

[@BKFS-ls9by]

Not sure if anyone will reply since this is old, but will the magnum internals hold up with the k26 over time? I’d like to put one in but I want to know if it’s gonna hold up

And it makes the prime so heavy it is not worth it.

I would say, yes. Very much so.

[@RadarNocturn]

Captain Xavier, you don't need to put tape or anything on the rod for the Magnum Superdrum's drum. You have the newer one so you just need to poke an allen wrench through the hole in the blaster that goes into the rod and it depresses the catch so it can be removed. They show it on their own video here: dartzoneblasters.com/magnum-drum-install/

[@CaptainXavier]

Good to know! Thanks!
