Can it Take a K26? - Episode 99

[@MakeTestBattle]

Aww thanks for the shout out. Yes, one day we will meet, and it will be glorious!

[@Fusako8]

Y'all need to do a collab with Mighty Car Mods. :)

[@psmbwisconsin6648]

MTB stands for mountain biking as well

[@AwkwardHypernerd413]

here is a suggestion for the talon. Get rid of the shell entirely, paint it gold, and you have the golden gun from goldeneye

[@fireinacan]

I was thinking the same!

[@CaptainResident]

I think the only problem with it is that the shell reinforces the snapped-on parts, so they'd be a ton weaker.

[@otternonymouz8127]

I might do that if I get one

[@CynUnion-ji9uj]

If I might be an Um Actually nerd for a moment, The Golden Gun originates from Man with The Golden Gun, a Roger Moore Bond Film from 1974. But it is also from the Golden Gun rounds in goldeneye 64. Just a... Fun? Clarification of origin.

[@KarlDRG]

the bigshock could also work (but it would not look as good.)

[@braff3272]

The internals of the talon could be a James bond golden gun

[@zacharywoudstra5917]

Well, I know what I am doing for my next mod.....

[@joeleustice]

Hmm. I need gold paint.

[@darklordofsword]

Apart from size, isn't the same true for any of the jolt varients?

[@the.narwalian1519]

So true I might buy it just to do that

[@Sir_Djack]

My exact thougts

[@JoltKing627]

One more great thing about the talon: its plunger tube doesnt have those stupid slots on the sides that the bigshock had. It’s actually a full plunger! thats why it can vacuum load.

[@scottbionicnerf8727]

I think the engineering team for the Talon snuck something out for us modders to play with.

[@doe2218]

@@scottbionicnerf8727 we'll never know those legends sadly

[@lilacocto9103]

Fun fact: Walcom actually modified the Talon to fire ULTRA darts in one of his videos, called it the ULTRA ZERO.

[@Carcharodon]

And it looked Legit.

[@darklordofsword]

Afaict , it fired better than any of the actual ultra springers so far, too.

[@drflux]

Thanks for the shout out! I have fixed the issues i had in that video and will be throwing a k26 in it. Ill post a new video. Great video! You motivated me to revisit my megalodon shotgun!

[@kittenclaws5775]

When you thread a spring onto a closed rod, like with the Talon, if you give yourself just a little extra length you can take pliers and curve the unfinished edge of the spring out so that it doesn't dig into the post as much, and just clip the end of it off once it's threaded, but trimming the end is a bit of a hassle. Kinda just a preference call. #IMaybeLearnedTheHardWay

[@CaptainXavier]

...BRILLIANT!

[@dansemacabre5123]

The internals of the Talon kinda reminds me of the Golden Gun from James Bond.

[@williamwinder3466]

A much needed moment of silliness.

[@Matt-md5yt]

glad you covered these two. the Talon reminds me of the lego pistol once the shell is removed

[@cheetahman515]

both the bigshock and the talon look EXACTLY LIKE A HUGE JOLT.

[@GoldenLad24]

Loving the little jumps when you cut away, its like you're spawning in

[@darklordofsword]

Oh boy, only one more! Any special plans for 100 that aren't top secret?

[@isaac.mp7]

The only thing that will not be a secret is that it will have k26

[@adriansue8955]

Measuring Springs Given how Often you use k26, you might consider measuring/calculating the min compressed height of a given number of coils Then rather than guess+check how much to use, just measure the plunger tube space and directly calculate the number of k26 coils...

[@CaptainXavier]

Sounds like math...

[@magoshighlands4074]

Nerf: *Makes ANY kind of drum fed medium-high fire rate blaster* Capt Xavier: LONG, UNCONTROLLED BURSTS! WAAAAAAAGH!

[@TheSybermedic]

It was fun to watch you upgrade your Talon. I added Foam Technicians HotShock Elite Super Magnum Kit to my HotShock and added the HotShock spring to my Talon along with the A/R removal. Mine hits in the mid 70's with Mega, and around 130 with the HotShock Elite Super Magnum Kit installed. BANGARANG!

[@thunderb.dreadnought1363]

I like the orange shirt at the range. The contrast looks nice.

[@LolLol-ft7xs]

I'm making a double breach masterkey its gonna be big

[@stormmk9]

Everyone's saying the internals of the Talon looks like the goldeneye golden gun but with the shell it probably wouldn't be too hard to modify it to look like a Halo Mangum

[@Wesley_H]

0:35 Regarding that error. Actually 2019 is correct. I picked one up at a Winners in Canada back in November. Can’t wait for episode 100. Something tells me it’s gonna be special.

[@chrismcclure2766]

Wow...A mini xavier sighting and a glimpse of a helmet/mask wall.....Absolutely Glorious Good Sir!!

Mini Cap Xavier at 21:14.

[@adamgardiner5869]

Didn't know what people were talking about until u took the wheel off. It's totally the goldeneye gun!

[@nicholasmazzarella2720]

Captain Wow super episode of Can it Take a K-26. Thanks for going into such detail with the options for the Megalodon. Can't wait for the 100th episode. Great work as always. Thanks for providing some fun things to watch while we are in this crazy time we are currently in. Bangarang

[@TeamBringIt8]

I bought those Megalodon Elite conversion tubes MTB used in that video. They're great!

[@Maximus2761]

I actually made a k26 demolisher rocket talon. Though I took off the head, it was not too difficult to do, just like the tabs and then epoxied onto the plunger rod.

[@JoltKing627]

Have you done the x-shot kickback (adventure force hypershot) yet? If not, do that one! Its only $4 at walmart, so if it works with k26 it could be a great budget pistol!

[@Drakrylos]

I still find it funny how the internals of the Bigshock (and to an extent the Talon) are essentially just an oversized Jolt, but they put a lot of extra plastic on top of them. Someone could effectively make a replacement shell which fits near-precisely to the proportions of the Bigshock's internals and make an actual "MEGA Jolt".

[@zeroblade6599]

Woohoo! Regenerator incoming! Maybe pair it with a swarm seeker? They use the same clips (or so I'm told, I don't have a swarm seeker) I'll be checking the pumpgrip vid next, thanks

[@PeterXChhanX]

From the freeze frame I could see: looks like you have about 12 coils of k26 on the megalodon

[@niufy845]

I have a suggestion for you. You can try to make a mauser C96 out of the talon. I looks kind of alike but the barrel is too short.

[@roboscout64]

I swear one of these days i am going to have to call the fun police on you because you have entirely too much fun in these.

[@SirBlade666]

Have you ever tried rotating the priming bar on jolt-style blasters (so the crossbar is in line with the barrel)? I find this primes the blaster much more comfortably.

[@CaptainXavier]

I have, yes

[@zeanyt2372]

Talon has a great seal but the AR cap leeks.

[@DeisFortuna]

Can the N-Force Warlock axe (or whatever it was called) take a K26? Of course, I don't mean in the traditional manner. I mean by replacing the haft of the weapon with K26 to make a sillier, floppier axe.

[@maxohara6684]

i love how the talon is literally just a jolt reskin but for mega, like, the entire base form is just a big jolt.

[@hadleyodenbach804]

Mega talons and big shot seem like they would be cool to 3d print you own custom shell!

[@zeroblade6599]

Like the second wind?

[@hadleyodenbach804]

I was thinking a simple homemade reskin would be a simple and cool project for someone getting into Cad modeling bit that to.

[@bz4701]

Dart Zone Apex and Storm Squad! Both inexpensive and interesting!

[@Jact01]

Idk why but the range looks kinda green-screeny today

[@zeanyt2372]

The megalodon is the best mega blaster in my opinion. The 20 darts of mega and the shotgun cylinder plus the addition of making it fire darts at 150+ fps. And it being easy to modify.

[@fasthippy]

this may sounds crazy but what about can it take episode on 3d printed stuff.... maybe that too obvious but there is a wide range of options out there.

[@CaptainXavier]

Given that most 3D printed blasters are literally designed to take a k26 or heavier that would be a bit odd...

[@gargunkle]

Hi Captain, it is nice to see a new K26 video and I hope you are holding up well in these tough times.

[@joeleustice]

Thanks, Captain.

[@countsnowyofgwainn3996]

My good sir,. I believe that you hath inspired me to try and make a rival flintlock out of a Talon if I ever buy one *insert a captain Jack Sparrow gif with a cheeky grin* Keep doing what you so best Captain 💪😎

[@braff3272]

I'm trying to make a long barrel rotofury. I have the PVC cut so the darts will rotate through. It is stuck down the barrel. maybe you would want too try something silly like that?

[@blankettoys8533]

I want to see a video of you shooting your entire old loadout with the upgraded gear like your auto stryfes and any other small upgrades and with all the old stuff like the wrist raider,arm mounted rocket launcher and the shoulder weapon and of course you have to use EIR

[@clone734]

Bro i love this intro. It’s awesome 😆 😂

[@Amountan]

That looks like a jolt with a massive barrel

[@beriorgar]

last time i was this early, i had a joke prepared

[@talscorner3696]

I know this is probably either silly or already done, by now, but what if one used the Megalodon as a comically large masterkey for a blaster emplacement with a custom charging handle that extends above the main blaster barrel?

[@CaptainXavier]

I've never seen that done...but I dig it!

[@talscorner3696]

@@CaptainXavier probably actually using the resulting blaster would be at the very least interesting... But now I would low key love to see it happen xD

[@oileaderboss]

You should put a brass Barrel in there and make it shoot Stefan darts with the talon

[@bouchardjennyfer7164]

The only thing i like in the megalodon Is that you can change the drum whit no modification You can 3D print à drum that is à "the judge" style of drum

[@PewTheToaster]

OMG! the internals off the talon look like a luger!

[@runkurgan]

Technically you can see Little Xavier at 20:46 but he is revealed at 21:14

this is a delicious blaster

[@qweek7942]

I modified my talon with a 9kg worker stampede spring after removing the dart post and air restrictor

[@ag3nt_santa663]

Hey CRAZY Xavier for the nerf rival series which color are you red or blue and (optional) why? Me myself I was more of a red kind of person because red and gold looks really cool.

[@CaptainXavier]

I prefer orange. So I tend to favor Red because it paints to orange better.

What is/was also your favorite "weapon/blaster" from nerf. And why. I like the Recon, Retaliator or Deploy because easy too mod and I grew up with them.

the talon is literally a big jolt

[@CaptainXavier]

I disagree. It is more a smaller, less versatile Triple Torch. ;P

[@SpikeJonesTheCr0oked]

I tried to put a stock Kronos spring my Mega Talon and it wouldn't catch....it was the same 10 coils that the k26 you used was, so I'm not sure why it wouldn't. Any Ideas or tips?

[@CaptainXavier]

Is it not catching because of not enough compression? Or is catching but then immediately releasing because the catch is not strong enough to hold the weight?

[@SpikeJonesTheCr0oked]

​@@CaptainXavierHey thanks for the response. It seems like the catch isn't holding. but a stock Kronos spring isn't quite as strong as the k26 correct? Strange that yours will catch with a stronger spring. I went with 10 coils as well btw,
