Captain Xavier's War Gear - Heavy Shield and Pistol Loadout

[@snorribjorn5074]

An excellent "Blackbeard" loadout mon Capitaine! Ridiculous and Fabulous! Well Played sir!

[@dribbledroppin310]

Rook main irl

[@Shastavalleyoutdoorsman]

Mr Teach would be proud to be sure.

[@Telemachus2814]

Something tells me that there will soon be a limit to how many pistols you can use with a shield....

[@Telemachus2814]

Noah H Same here.

[@keilafleischbein59]

Telemachus2814 just make a pistol integration. "What shield? This is a spectre."

[@josephmorales8275]

Never

[@nicksloan9323]

No no, just have two shields to have more pistols

[@Jerbt]

Something also tells me a limit on how many rockets you can carry with all his new rocket launchers.

[@edentvire7013]

Nine 9shot hammershots. Call it the Hydra load out

[@ameliamckay4978]

holy s*** thats a lot of hammershot

[@osmacar5331]

the game is 90 days until i can change this hail hydra XD

[@sargantmichael]

How about the NineTails

[@aidanquiett668]

when you give a xavier a loophole...

[@ValTek_Armory]

you need a trench coat with a bunch of holsters on the inside. Boondock Saints style!

[@UltraStrawberryDreamsMonster]

That sounds... Intimidating.

[@jameshelton8095]

Sweet! couple ideas for you. 1. Take one of your sword holders and strap it to your calf, then add some PVC tube to your shield. When you need your hands free, tuck the pvc tube from the shield into the sword holder. It wont be super stable, but for a quick reload, should work a treat. 2. Feet protection - just add some plastic chain to hang from the bottom of the shield. You still have mobility, but also protection. 3. For a laugh, drill a BUNCH of holes in the shield the size of jolt barrels, then add jolts to point through the shield. Would be hilarious. Thanks for your hard work and sharing,

[@dumpsterfire6992]

More like blackbeard before the pap- i mean "shield" nerf

[@Boomtendo4tw]

You know what you are missing is some 10 dart boomco cylinders for those hammershots. Modularity! And also huge capacity! Would you like to print some off?

[@DeltaWolf1000]

It's like you're channeling your inner black beard, carrying 12 blasters. Haha good work Cap'n *tips hat*

[@friendbesto2599]

DeltaWolf1000 he needs some burning hemp wicks hanging from his beard

[@on1yadam]

Now im no blasterologist but I would deduct you love the hammershot 😂😂😂😂😂

[@FirepigXnow]

It's one of the best blasters there is and its compatible with 1 hand operation

[@talscorner3696]

"Blasterologist". Awesome ring to it xD

[@homelee665]

Pistol rounds = broken now. This looks like tremendous fun, sir. Great work!

[@beretnarf]

I'd fight that in a war! Add pirate pistols? ;)

[@CaptainXavier]

I am working on a pirate pistol bandolier

[@DobbzTheCat]

thats exactly what i thought of when i saw this lol!

[@Simatech2007]

I found a picture online of a pirate pistol bandolier, I will have to look for it again

[@AwkwardHypernerd413]

Speaking of pirate pistols, drac did a review on these new larp muskets that fire rival balls kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6bQfHSkhsR8o7s

[@BishopGantry]

Can put a lot of holsters in the inside of the shield, then a type of steady cam arm chest mount to bear the wright. Xav considered using Justins MTB's Hammershot 5 shot Mega cylinders?

[@Pigness7]

You should have some spikes or something on the bottom of the sheild so you can plant it in a fixed location as temporary cover

[@CaptainXavier]

Explain to me how spikes hard and sharp enough to stick into the ground could possibly be safe... An arm that swings out to support it maybe (this kind of shield is called a pavice)

[@DaRip74]

Maybe flip down plastic stands on front and back.

[@Rohrae]

Perhaps a small flip down plate at the bottom that you could kneel/stand on to keep the shield upright? Might work as something to use for potential reloading without the injury risk of spikes?

[@tenebraedashiva]

Add a hard fixed plate to the base of the shield that you step on with one foot - wouldnt be totally stable, but would work for temp cover while you reload

[@trainrooskie]

Anti gravity device. Done.

[@errolg9574]

You should put a dump pouch on the shield and have a stand on the bottom of the Shield so you can set the shield down and reload your hammer shots while keeping the shield up right

[@mattvonnerf3495]

Nice loadout, that's a lot of Hammershots! My personal "assault" loadout is a Khaos, 2 slung Hyperfires and a modded Mega Cycloneshock on the lower part of my back. If I were doing "pistols only" I'd probably go with my 6 Strongams, a Doublestrike, a Mega Dickinson and 2 Hotshocks.

[@wadekirby8575]

What is a Mega Dickinson?

[@uprisingonblitzandwt448]

Magnus?....

[@nathanhays8696]

The frick's a Dickinson.

[@dannyman5751]

Biggin Dickinson

[@thepump2271]

Love the vid I was hoping you would show us wearing that

[@CaptainXavier]

I will....eventually.

[@betelgeuse4a]

Random dude: "HA! YOU'RE OUT OF AMMO!" Captain X: *"There is another."*

[@CaptainXavier]

and another, and another, aaaaaaand another! :D

[@golem8837]

I witnessed this in action today...

[@CaptainXavier]

He proceeded to shoot me in the face! ;D

[@SteveCTD]

Captain this so reminds me of Il Duce from The Boondock Saints. Fantastic.

[@CaptainXavier]

I am working on that loadout too. ;)

[@willrogers3793]

Saw the thumbnail and immediately thought “YAHARR, MATEY!!!”

[@firstwatch3285]

Have you considered adding a hammershot to your loadout?

[@EDSKaR]

Those hammershot holsters is similar to mine, but much much smaller and blockier, looks like it's heavier, even though its smaller.

[@Red-ek1gd]

Hey Captain Xavier I was wondering where do get/ obtain all these Hammershots i always lived it but can never seem to find them online or on thrift stores any idea where I could get one? *(Also Deus Vult)*

[@ongoingmender2080]

*”Switching to a pistol is always faster than reloading”*

[@Pigness7]

Hey do you need anymore hammershots? (Jokes)

[@connortremeer1966]

Cap thats OP as hell i love hammer shots😂

[@Mephiston]

What shoulder straps / harness do you use? They look really comfy. Also, an option would be to lose one of the back swords and replace it with an ammo dispenser for teammates who are hiding behind you, or a shotgun sling or something.

[@LuckyAssult]

I was thinking about something like this recently also lol. But what I was thinking was a duel wielding rig based off a old school "Brace of pistols" or a "pistol baldric".

[@harryb6736]

The second thigh rig could be used to move down the 2 right handed hammer shots so then you could have dump pouch or two one for darts and one for socks for if you want to use it in HvZ.

[@bluelemonblue2360]

I counted in all he has ( with all loaded guns) 64 bullets including the sheald rocket thing. Needs dunk pouch ha

[@DrX427]

Concerning the shield, Walcom did a video a while back about shields where his had feet so he could stake it, if not just set it down. That could work. Or, fail that, you could try attaching molle to the inside of the shield to hold a dump pouch (practicality goes down depending on playstyle).

[@rextonhart]

Nerf: sells hammer shot. Captain Xavier: I’LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!

[@donutboy__3410]

For adding the dump pouch couldn't you just attach Molly webbing to the outside of one of the holters and attach the pouch to that? Just a thought

[@Woodland_Adventures]

This man said he's making an ALL JOLT LOAD-OUT.

[@CaptainXavier]

This man had already done it...24 jolts on one vest. ;P

[@Woodland_Adventures]

@@CaptainXavier. a youtuber who replies to comments on 2 year old videos... never seen that before. you really must love the fans.

[@CaptainXavier]

@@Woodland_Adventures Yeah, I get that a lot...no idea why others don't respond. I mean we get notified of new comments no matter how old the video is so it is not hard to respond. *shrugs

[@talscorner3696]

At this point I guess you have already figured out anything you'd need for the shield, but I've seen that a shoulder strap is rather handy (I'm in LARP and full contact armored fighting, for contextualization): frees a hand up, allows to rest the occasional tired ellbow (I'm scrawny, my joints tire easily xD), even to operate some equipment that you might have stored inside the shield (secondary weapons, reloads, you name it). Granted, the only disadvantage is that you have another strap dangling about.

[@stephenross5586]

I'm watching this in the middle of the night and I just got to the point about you discussing not knowing where to put a dump pouch and i instantly said "why not use your right leg for the dump pouch and maybe another sweet revenge or doubleshot"

[@nosidenoside2458]

have 3 dump buckets/pouches: 1st with darts, 2nd with cocked and loaded jolts, and 3rd with fired ones. you draw from the 2nd, fire, put it in the 3rd , and repeat.

[@castlepro9688]

This looks like “Big Iron on his hip” on another level

[@Fusako8]

Nice! I keep encouraging a friend of mine to do an all pistol loadout.

[@psychatnight]

You gloriously deranged man, that is an amazing loadout that I'd love to recreate one day

[@justincastro4451]

Youre gonna want a way to label those things

[@alegongo923]

Captain Xavier has traded one addiction (k26) for another (hammershots) (P.s this is a joke)

[@alegongo923]

Have you considered making a maverick only rig?

[@CaptainXavier]

...of course not...

[@charchar635]

It's not a joke, dude we're worried for you! This has gone too far! You have to stop!!!😂

[@jacobh7102]

Haffnium 24601 HE MUST NEVER STOP! The shear absurdity of Captain X making ridiculous and hilarious loadouts is a focal point of this channel and we all love him for it. Thanks for making me and your viewers laugh P.S. Please make that maverick loadouts with other veteran blasters

[@similin4330]

Southern Studios Mavericks with barrel breaks? 😂

[@Ki113r210]

i know this is an older vid and maybe a previous comment stated this, but why not 3d print dart holders that use the screw holes on the hammershot holsters?

[@trainrooskie]

Double stack the front holsters? Also colored(red) filament for the mega firing ones

[@tsmcgu]

How do you draw the 45-degree back hammershots? Wild Bill-style (hand rotated in, palm out)?

[@CaptainXavier]

Yup. They are too far back to cross draw.

[@radioactivesdesigns3554]

Ive been wanting to do something similar with sledgefires. Though... probably not nearly as many as the number of hammershots you have there. Maybe 4, at max 6.

[@Spartan_0911]

I wonder if Mounting the bottom part of an N-strike attachment to the shield would allow you to clip one of you hammer shots to the shield while you reload it from a dump pouch all while keeping your shield up.

[@ryanmccarthy8533]

You could try putting a holster on the shield above the current handle facing down and outwards at a slight angle, this would let you holster your left hammershot and still hold it, essentially making a another handle and freeing up your right hand? Just an idea.

[@ferriterloranis9644]

As for the jolt idea have you seen trigun? Meryl stryfe might be a good model

[@wadekirby8575]

Are you going to keep the Mega Hammershot in a specific spot so you can find it quickly? Are you going to have a dump pouch on the Jolt loadout vest for empties? If not what will you do with them?

[@emtff65]

Came across maketestbattles old video on the blastertech 8 round cylinder. They used half lengths to double the ammo. Seeing the date of this video didnt know if youve considered it for your play style.

[@sae.4]

CAPTAIN XAVIER doesn't reload he just gets a new blaster!

[@dantheinvincible]

As a shield fighter in pretty much every activity that allows it: this pleases me.

[@sinjn3d]

You could stick a couple extra hammershots on the leg rig just have them going the other direction or space them so you can grab the inside two after the outside two are spent

[@MaybeNotARobot]

A loadout of a secondary, tertiary, quaternary, quinary, senary, septenary, octonary, nonary, denary, hendenary, duodenary, and tridenary. And three swords.

[@notforsaletoday1895]

Captain, i assume you have seen the musket and flint lock featured on Drac's channel? I think you'd love them.....

[@CaptainXavier]

Yeah, I saw them months ago when they were first hit the net.

[@notforsaletoday1895]

Captain Xavier Aye, thought you would've.

[@CaptainXavier]

I want then SO much...

[@mikemezz7448]

I laughed so hard when you got to the third hammer shot that was so good holy $hit man that's a lot of guns lol

[@niyanpatel6796]

Hey Capt you should try to put the dump pouch in the shield

[@altern36]

If i ever saw this in a nerf war, id just give up because thats a lot of dedication to a pistol only load out

[@timburke2820]

just a thought; perhaps add another batch of velcro to the shield & slap the dump pouch to the shield? shouldn't add too much weight, & there's a lot of dead space on your shield in the lower half.

[@CaptainXavier]

Why does no one read the comments before commenting? You are about the 15th person to suggest this. There are reasons it won't work.

[@timburke2820]

to be fair, I was commenting on the fly while trying to wrangle 5 kids and 2 dogs, didn't have much time to delve deep into the comments section. my apologies for being unintentionally redundant.

[@CaptainXavier]

No worries, you actually have an excuse. Most people are just too lazy.

[@timburke2820]

unfortunately there's not a lot of real estate left on your body to work with. so short of turning yourself into a 90's Rob Liefield design & festooning yourself with small arm & thigh pouches, the only thing I can think of is building a headband for your helmet & hanging the dump pouch off the back of your helmet, though I don't know how that would affect your ability to draw your swords. Either that or get a Nacho Hat & instead of loading it with delicious cheese you load it with darts. not exactly secure but would look hilarious.

[@nosidenoside2458]

"i haven't decided if i'm gonna have a right leg, om, i'm leaning towards not"

[@BigOlAnkles]

You could probably put a clip on the shield to hold a pistol barrel up for reloading.(perhaps using the top rail)

[@DaRip74]

Another thing u forgot is a boomco pistol. A rail stinger is about the size of a jolt or you can take the single shot pistol. Also maybe a vortex pistol too. Another thing is a nerf stampede sheild as a pistol/backup buckler.

[@jaydog1194]

Its awesome, you're prepared for War.👍

[@andysimmons2438]

You should hang your dump pouch (maybe something a little bigger?) on the inside of your shield. Open up some belt space and you can reload while ducked down.

[@DaRip74]

is a stryfe considered a pistol if it does not have attachments? Or the zombie strike flipfury considered a pistol another thing is can a flip fury take modified cylinders for increased capacity.

[@CaptainXavier]

No, springers only. Yes, the flipfury counts. It is possible to upgradw them but I have never seen anyone do it.

[@DaRip74]

Captain Xavier oh ya, a nerf lawbringer if cut down may work too.

[@CaptainXavier]

Yes, but much harder to holster.

[@MrAntimationStudios]

I'm going to have a crack at upgrading that jolt holster Brb

[@CaptainXavier]

Yay!

[@trashpandagaming5740]

Who else wants to see him actually use the loadouts

[@thehyliangaurd8265]

I was just thinking about doing something like this. I have been collecting pistols for a while and just decided to try and do a pirate inspired loadout where I festoon myself with 10 to 20 pistols

[@robertepitaph4555]

You should make a revoler, with a bunch of jolts as the cylinder

[@friendbesto2599]

This is all I need in life. Needs more hammershots

[@arandumendez9557]

You could add a disruptor in your right leg, for that bit extra firepower if your shield breaks. Or even a cycloneshock or a magnus, in case you're out of rockets. Idk

[@royalsempire1757]

Do you have a Roman shield one that attaches to your arm that way you have both hands free

[@soup4219]

all jolt loadout... sounds like hell. but the kind of hell that is funny as hell.

[@xander3735]

So many hammershots I'm gonna cry from joy

[@JustAnotherYTer]

Is that a brassed jolt I see!!??

[@CaptainXavier]

Yes

[@atomicrc5189]

how manny hammer shots do you use? Xavier: *YES*

[@EchoDrift540]

Hey Cap, did you buy those Hammershot holsters pre-made or did you have to print them yourself?

[@CaptainXavier]

I made them

[@nerfjager731]

You could 3D print speed loaders and Mount that too the Shield so if you don't have down time you can line up the darts in the speed loader with the barrels on your blaster and use that to load

[@icy.e956]

That is completely and entirely ridiclus... and I love it. (Suddenly the word hanmershot sounds very weird)

[@claytonmatthews7323]

You could move the right handed pistol for duel wielding as well as one of the front ones to the other thigh rig and put it right in the center of the belt

[@Fyreye]

You could add a dump pouch to the shield and hold the hammershot in your right hand with the shield and pull spare darts with your left for reloading

[@CaptainXavier]

I don't want a dump pouch on the shield (for lots of reasons)

[@DavidLopez-pw7gp]

For a more positive attachment of the hammershots use the little springloaded nub on the top of the gun

[@Joseph-cw3en]

Is a bare stryfe a pistol?

[@CaptainXavier]

No. Nothing mag fed or electric.

[@CFSF69]

Jon Zettell You’re not too far off tbh, it’s essentially an over glorified Ionfire.

[@CFSF69]

Jon Zettell Good point, though I prefer the Snipe as a bolt action rifle, only if I can get metal internals for mine I can crank it up to a K26. The Predator looks cool for a replica or a cosplay prop, for performance ? Not so sure, but it’s cause I suck at breach loading. And I agree with you, the Modulus “raisers” look cool, though they serve zero to no purpose. A carry handle ? Not so sure.

[@meckleyprops2902]

To make it easier to reload what if you mounted an even more specialized holster so the sheald can hold the blaster and you could reload with out putting it down?

[@AlexSFM]

I would just go running around with that shield and the zombie strike sword because I'm determined to go medieval mode on a flinging foam battlefield

[@oo-zb1pn]

Take apart one of those spinny lightsabers and replace the handles with that. That way, not only can you switch between tower shield and zulu styles, but you can spin your shield for extra protection!

[@nickatnight782]

How do these RE holsters compair to the hammershot holsters from narrow base? Those seem a little more minimal than these

[@CaptainXavier]

They are much bigger but also far more versatile. It would have also cost me $200 to buy 9 Narrow Base holsters as opposed to $40 in filament to print these

[@browndavies1422]

Who do we need to get in contact with so that the modular holster gets posted on thingiverse?!?

[@bananaramapickle1456]

This is so ridiculous. I love it

[@JonarRoman]

Would the hammershot holsters work if you have a cosmetic mod on the front?

[@CaptainXavier]

No

[@haydenadams8760]

Hey cap I'm gonna send that jin urso blaster for diagnostics and repairs this weekend

[@nathantalisien4284]

Captain Xavier In a general way, at what points would you consider a shield "too big" or "too small" to be useful?

[@CaptainXavier]

Function. If it is too small to stop anything then it is too small. But even small bucklers serve a purpose. And if it is so big you cannot see or shoot around it, it is too big.

[@spartanfall30]

Why don’t you use the narrow base jolt holsters?

[@CaptainXavier]

That what?

[@WicKKanVT]

I cant tell what your primary pistol is.

[@CaptainXavier]

A Stryfe. :P

[@kevindenney118]

jolt loadout= merryl stryfe from trigun lol

[@bloxindoez3718]

The Joltinator - Guy with over 100 ready jolts

[@CaptainXavier]

My jolt vest only holds 24 jolts.

[@zavber8917]

You can put stakes at the bottom of the Shield and add a poutch bellow the handels to have ammunition if you want to do that its something i would do

[@CaptainXavier]

I could...but that would be terribly unsafe.
