Commission: Barricade Drain Blaster

This is for a commission. I really am sorry for such poor footage...I swear I will get better and filming all my sets. I tend to zone out with a work and just go with the flow. I need a director or something...

That Sledgefire shell cylinder is a thing of beauty

[@CaptainXavier]

Right?!

[@thatseanguy5371]

That sledgefire monstrousity is begging to become a shotgun blast of darts

[@rzrider683]

Really disappointed that nerf never makes air powered blasters anymore

[@eggsbread984]

Sad icon mag strike sounds

[@Blight_750]

That sludgefire shell cylinder was absolutely genius and you pulled it off amazingly well 👍🏻👍🏻

[@TheOdst219]

Your voice is so thick and buttery.

[@landonleverett3224]

I made a barrackade cylinder absolved for my drain blaster and it works beautifully

[@CaptainXavier]

Hey yeah? What did you use to fill all the dead space and wholes? Hot glue? Epoxy? I would love to find a use for all my dead Barricade cylinders.

[@endymion7585]

I know the feeling, putting all the screws back in, and forget to put something in

[@undead_acolyte8515]

Hey Captain X, Your a great whistler! I love your videos too!! keep it up and soon you'll be even more popular as drac!!

[@CaptainXavier]

I am a long way from that...but perhaps with time. :)

[@undead_acolyte8515]

Ya. But it will

[@turbocateyeS475]

Drac is cringey and uses big words for no reason that make no sense, the captain is awesome. If i was him id aim for Coop status...relateable, funny, with just the right amount of nerdy without the weird gimmicks like vampire teeth.

[@prestonlongoria3129]

At first when I saw the sledgefire shells I thought it was a shotgun and I was like 😱

[@kiiranoz4802]

Good video , You have a talent! +1 sub

[@CaptainXavier]

:D Thanks!

[@kiiranoz4802]

:D

[@grandpahuncho1090]

Captain Xavier lol

[@dagil2750]

Duran Kroeze *level up*

[@kiiranoz4802]

Jared , ur kinda late buddy , like 28 days late :p

[@betelgeuse4a]

I can't but wish that Nerf would rerelease the Hornet for Elite.

[@The_Nü_Wave]

Gotta love the whistling and singing

[@lucassurgeon4122]

I do the same for my channel. Half of my stuff I find difficult to focus on the camera and not on my workbench. Though editing was made for this very purpose. Also, I am assuming this will be recreated as a rival/mega/elite rotating cylinder in the future, cause that would be amazing. ~ Thanks, RufusPlays

[@ellie_shrug]

I have already made my own shotgun with the exact same type of drain blaster for my third ever mod. I even have my own absolver system.

[@aw2x214]

OMG yes! Ive been so hyped to watched this guide. I am actually making the firefly version right now

[@CaptainXavier]

I am working on that video also...probably filmed it just as poorly as this one...

[@aw2x214]

Captain Xavier oh goodness you are a beast at pumping your videos out. I'll wait for the firefly version. To learn what steps to do. Keep up the amazing work

[@Tater_Lord]

I live rewatching your old vids cap I also noticed that when firing the second attachment it whistled when fired I wonder if you could make that louder and more pronounced as a sort of comical effect you can then dub the attachment the screamshot

[@clownienerf]

This was one of the most entertaining build videos I've seen. Not the most informative but, entertaining yes. I do how ever have a question on the Sledgefire Absolver. The most likely place to grab it to rotate it would be the cylinders. Probably the "go to" for the hand. Supper glue is quite strong but wouldn't some kind of epoxy or Devcon be better for bonding? I was also thinking that the potential problem, could be eliminated all together. By making the base plate larger than the connection point plate, and adding some knurling to the edge for grip.

[@CaptainXavier]

I considered all sorts of things. Technically I am using gorilla glue which is pretty strong. I also glues all the cylinders together so even more strength. What I really wish I had done was drill three holes behind each shell so it left the middle. The shells have a hole right in the middle that would have been perfect to put in a screw. Live and learn. I am glad you liked it.

[@arandumendez9557]

A 6-sledgefire-shell cilinder that shoots all the shell at the time, powered by a titan plunger. That would be funny to see :P

[@CaptainXavier]

A titan would not have enough power to fire all 18 darts at once. I'm not even sure a drain blaster would. Multiple drain blasters though...hmmmm

[@UltraStrawberryDreamsMonster]

Perfect. I'd like one please

[@petersmedley459]

Don’t apologise for singing sir, that sounds like a lovely baritone singing voice! I have images of LARP fire pits at this point...

[@budethedingo3857]

This is most likely irrelevant but I found a local Dollar General here in town that actually has drain Blasters for sale for twenty bucks and that is the First Walk-In store that I've actually seen that has them for sale at least in my area Southern California. Shooting a lot of your Nerf modding videos got me into Nerf but I'm also in the airsoft but modding Nerf to me also plays in the modern airsoft guns I like the work you do and keep it up. Good jod on your nerf stuff

[@MrPandapancake]

A idea for keeping all of your work on camera. For your workbench have a permanent mount for your camera. Then draw lines at the end of its field of view. As long as your work is in the lines it will be on camera!

[@CaptainXavier]

I did tape the corners of the camera frame at one point but different videos end up having a different frame. I may go back to that though. Thanks for the feedback!

[@jokroast6912]

i love the barricade!

[@dr.jex___]

So this means your going to be building a singled/modular cycloneshock now, right?

[@CaptainXavier]

Already did. :D I like the way you think!

[@r3c0n808]

I skipped to 11:55 while skipping though the video and just started dying 😂

[@LieutenantTbone]

Just a random idea , you could use a BB Baron barrel as a two shot mega firing absolver. And then just single it with pvc to fire elite

[@BrandonPowellBlasterTown]

I love this video, you have shown me the way to the grail shotgun I have been trying to build. one question though, what is the locking mechanism you used for indexing?

[@CaptainXavier]

Brandon Powell Random parts I found in my parts bin. I think some are from Mevericks...

[@BrandonPowellBlasterTown]

Awesome, thanks!

[@FireHero]

Now I want to see one fire all 6 sledge rounds at once yes it be terrible but think of the fear of people on the other end!

[@rafaelbeaudoin7998]

Colossal blitz drum barrel attachment. Probably wouldn't work but would be funny to see

[@jeffreycarman2185]

Hopefully you got a fair price for this awesome commission, especially considering how you don’t do commissions anymore. Also original Sledgefire shells sell for around $11 plus shipping on eBay these days, so that absolver alone has almost $70 in shells only.

[@CaptainXavier]

Well, keep in mind, this video was published almost 6 years ago. Back when Sledgefire shells were 3 for $5 direct from Hasbro.

[@rikerjohnson9474]

You are a pretty good singer and an above average whistler

[@micahdordal9419]

now make your self one of them but on each hole put another rotating thing on it. Imagine a 108 shot rotating thing off a drain blaster :)

[@daivdninjabiomech7888]

I feel sorry for the people who wanted to build it themselves :PP

[@CaptainXavier]

Shucks...they will jsut have to commission one from me as I hold all the secrets! My plot is complete!

[@ryanblake7114]

good ol' Washington fall weather

[@muddy_armadillo]

Where did you download your Carmina Burana?

[@CaptainXavier]

I googled it and took the first one that came up.

[@ethangoldsmith9332]

Don't you link it in the discription?

[@jackarmstrong8790]

I HAD NO CLUE I DIDNT SUB

[@thedeathstar1740]

Your amazing I've been subbed for along time

[@coleboye7300]

Sing it, Cap!!

[@zherron42]

Drac's video goggles are starting to make a lot of sense. Never have to worry about the work being out of frame. Anyway, good video. The cut's on the shell don't seem terribly complex of confusing, so no great loss there. Do you happen to know the brand or model of the drain blasters you use? It has a great look to it, while most of the others I've seen on line look like, well, plumbing tools.

[@CaptainXavier]

Yeah...but then you would all get motion sick from my head bobbing about...it does make sense though... There is a link to it in the video description.

[@Team3601]

I wanna see what would happen if someone gave you a "dart tag snapfire 8" & just said "I want you to mod this..."

[@CaptainXavier]

There is an easy way to find out. ;)

[@connormoroney1305]

Hay captain, love this sort of thing, was wondering if you had a bill of materials for what goes into one of these. I recently picked up a barricade with a corroded battery tray so that would be a perfect candidate

[@CaptainXavier]

Drainblaster, barricade, whatever absolver you want. That is literally it.

[@connormoroney1305]

@@CaptainXavier I was hoping more for details on what size pvc connector was used

[@DroBlue]

THANK YOU SO MUCH I really wanted to make my own

[@bigbro1010101]

You could use Vulcan links or buzz bee shells

[@speedgoat44]

You are amazing

[@michaelking8483]

i wanna see the sledge-fire shell cylinder but firing all at the same time

[@immanuel9091]

i like the wisteling

[@commanderwolf_gaming5191]

sorry I post so late, I work security night shift at a college dorm...

[@CaptainXavier]

I (apparently) have fans all over the world who post at all hours. Post whenever you feel like!

[@endymion7585]

GAH!!! PLASTIC DUST EVERYWHERE!!!

[@chaucer2824]

I have been up since 3 am looking for that kind of drain blaster. Where do you buy them? (There is NO link in the description)

[@djwubzee]

ChauceRaptor _ look for cobra drain blasters

[@thetruewookie3219]

thanks for the video i am learning a lot here

[@UltraStrawberryDreamsMonster]

I'd like to see a tactical sledgefire. Its a Sledgefire that holds shells in a internal mag, and ejects them out the side or bottom like a real shotgun. Also, what is your shell count for the Sledgefire shells? And where did you get them?

[@CaptainXavier]

+Jackson Gomez itbhas been done and it is amazing! I have 9 or 12...I think. I got them direct from Hasbro bit they discontinued them.

[@CynUnion-ji9uj]

1:48 Dwarven Engineer Sings a tune whilst engineering

[@thenerfbeaver6482]

looks cool

[@DaRip74]

MY GOD all we need now is the link to were he acquires these beasts. I would love to buy a drain baster

[@CaptainXavier]

I used to give out the link...but people bought them out of stock and now I cannot get them...so I don't give out my sources anymore. :/

[@scarlettbandit2803]

Maybe you could try it with 4 Burstwave Cylinders?

[@mikeshock7265]

Go down Moses go down Moses to the pharaoh land tell old pharaoh let my people goooooooo

[@benjaminshanti3170]

You could use the mega for rival

[@jzque002]

And it was at that moment he knew he fucked up

[@jeffreyyoung5681]

wow i dont evan have the words. Cylindar drain blaster shotgun!!

[@CaptainXavier]

Aren't "Cylinder drain blaster shotgun" words?

[@jeffreyyoung5681]

yeah technicaly but if you could make the cylindar smaller and make a holster you would reck

[@sweatychaw3105]

thats some nice battery life you got there cap

[@CaptainXavier]

Not really, I have a charging cable hooked to the camera mount. I could film till I filled the phone. :P

[@sweatychaw3105]

lol, Hey do you think you could put a drain blaster into the rotofury?

[@CaptainXavier]

...probably. I don't have one so I can't say for sure.

[@jeremycoones5825]

Have you considered using a drain blaster with an in line pump and connecting it to tac-rail? Example drain blaster: goo.gl/images/28oHoS I like the modular idea of moving a drain blaster to whichever primary blaster I need. But idk if the tac rail attachment would be strong enough to handle the pump action without falling off the primary blaster.Love your work!

[@ilchickentv340]

How much of a beating can those drain blasters take? Can you throw them around? Also, how do they do with demolisher rockets? EDIT: derp, forgot all about the BAZOOKA.

[@CaptainXavier]

Not all that much. They are not designed to be thrown around.

[@chasewhitenight8112]

in the next video can you leave a link two where you got the drain part

[@CaptainXavier]

I cannot because I no longer have one. I used to give it out and so many people ordered them they are not out of stock. THus I no longer give out my sources for anything.

[@scarlettbandit2803]

Ooo, should sacrifice a Stockade instead, that way you have the nifty stock to store darts for a reload.

[@CaptainXavier]

...or you could keep the Stockade but just take the stock...

[@scarlettbandit2803]

Eh, either way most barricades get gutted for their motors, though the elite blue seems more aesthetically pleasing than the n-strike yellow to me.

[@joshfisher374]

Have you considered taking the shell of a fire fly adding fly weels and a magazine on the top Like the p90

[@CaptainXavier]

I have not. That sounds interesting. How would the magazine feed?

[@joshfisher374]

Mainly you gut the fire fly take and replace the cylinder with a piece of plastic and a N-strike barrel and the magazine system would work like the rival atlas but just dropping

[@joshfisher374]

Find PVC that fits the elite dart well and a light spring to push the darts forward to form magazine

[@joshfisher374]

Or thanks to hasbro just add the strife to the back of a Alfa hawk

[@davidkitchens9062]

amazing. you are my favorite nerd. Can you mod the drain blaster handle to be shorter? just curious as I've never handled one. Great video

[@CaptainXavier]

Probably...but then you would have to pump it more. Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

[@davidkitchens9062]

Captain Xavier True. I looked to get one like yours but only found a small Red one, Can you link place to buy it?

[@CaptainXavier]

Sadly, no, apparently it is no longer available...I am very annoyed...as I have people wanting them...

[@davidkitchens9062]

Captain Xavier Hmm there should be another place to get them? I will keep a look out. What is the brand of this kind?

[@ArgonautTheSmith]

what epic music did you use i want it for my D&D

[@CaptainXavier]

Carmina Burana by Carl Orff

[@ArgonautTheSmith]

thank you my friend :) stay strong

[@ZackDimondRecords]

Two questions. (1)Can the mega one shot rival rounds? (2) Why didn't you plug the holes on the sledge fire shells?

[@ZackDimondRecords]

shoot sorry

[@CaptainXavier]

Yes it can. And because it was not worth the effort.

[@Commander_Skullblade]

Every shot with the shotgun cylinder sounds like a sneeze. Ok then.

[@nickmarvin2618]

Sandwich craft foam between the two plates to increase the seal.

[@CaptainXavier]

I considered it, but the seal is actually really good as it is and I was worried about the foam wearing out.

[@nickmarvin2618]

Captain Xavier once it compresses over time you could joint tighten the metal rod connecting the two. Foam only can compress so much

[@freyjaolivia447]

You have a great voice

[@freyjaolivia447]

seriously though.

[@CaptainXavier]

You should hear my brother. Absolutely amazing.

[@patricknapier8902]

Hey Captain, any idea if it'd be feasible to take the general idea of this build (drain blaster shotgun) and hook it up to a Doominator's rotating mechanism to cycle through loaded cylinders?

[@CaptainXavier]

The issue would be getting a good enough seal behind the cylinders. Are you wanting it to fire all six darts from each cylinder at once?

[@patricknapier8902]

I've had the same thought about getting a proper seal and yes the idea would be to fire the six darts at once. I'm assuming the cylinders would have to be modified to operate in such a way.

[@dankflyingv6345]

Ik this is a nerf channel, but come the apocalypse, this would be a great way to fire ball bearings or nails at zombies

[@CaptainXavier]

Not really. Not nearly enough power to do any damage.

[@kav9533]

You could probably do some damage if you made a BB attachment... but at that point just rob a store and get an actual airsoft blaster. It’s the apocalypse after all >:D

[@seabass9916]

Why did you not use a 3d printed cycloneshock shotgun cylinder. (same thing bruh)

[@CaptainXavier]

+Dat Guy Sebat because I did not have access to a 3d printer at the time...bruh...

[@wadekirby8575]

Perhaps you should look into video recording glasses. :p

[@wadekirby8575]

Or shoulder mount your camera! :)

[@CaptainXavier]

I move my head too much...you would all get motion sick. :P I am getting better at filming...I just have to remember to move the camera. I loose track when I work, get caught up in what I am doing.

[@nerfinfineon5589]

do you send darts in your commissions? \][/

[@CaptainXavier]

Sometimes. Any darts that come with any blasters I buy to make the commission will come with the commission. Otherwise no. Unless requested and agreed upon.

[@44R0Ndin]

About that drain blaster... the link in the description says "sorry this product is no longer available". Did you buy out their ENTIRE stock or something? Wanted to pick one or two up for myself, but no dice.

[@CaptainXavier]

44R0Ndin I did not...my subscribers did. I did the nice thing and revealed my source and now I can't get any more...

[@44R0Ndin]

Captain Xavier Ah well, I bet they're just out of stock. No reason to stop making something like that when it just started flying off the shelves, right? Keep up the great work, hope to see some magazine fed blasters in the "can it take a k26" series sometime soon.

[@44R0Ndin]

Captain Xavier Side note, I can still find very similar products online, but not for the price you were getting.

[@somethingsomething9081]

did you use magnets to hold the barrels in place for firing and so they could be easily rotated? I can't figure out how to replicate this....

[@CaptainXavier]

Nope. I used a bolt.

[@BBS_bricks]

How does a drain blaster shoot without mods

[@kalebjohnson2550]

How much would i have to pay you to make one w ith the sledge fire atatchment where it fires the all at once?

[@CaptainXavier]

Even a drain blaster cannot effectively fire 12 darts at once. 9 is pushing it.

[@eliot4436]

Will you put the drain blaster and the rest of the obsolver barrels on your etsy

[@CaptainXavier]

Probably not. They are too complex a build for Etsy. Etsy is mostly blasters I can crank out in less than an hour. Things like this will be on a commission basis.

[@wolfgang1231]

Can you do I video on how to make absolves the cylinder things

[@CaptainXavier]

I already did. Check out my channel.

[@wolfgang1231]

Oh sorry I didn't see them sorry

[@jasontower7423]

How much would a commision for just the drain blaster without barricade but with just front attachment point for absolvers and and singled barrel at 8 shot barrel?

[@CaptainXavier]

Well, given that since I gave everyone my source on drain blasters and they promptly cleaned them out of stock...

[@jasontower7423]

Yeah I checked this morning... it made my very sad! But I have a solution!!! On amazon I looked it up and there is a blue one that is almost identical to the ones you were getting! Just an idea. I was gonna use my Christmas money for a commision on a drain blaster by you because you seem like a good dude. The drain blaster is $20.00 and with your modifications how much would it cost?

[@CaptainXavier]

Contact me via my commission address. I don't like discussing pricing in the comments.

[@bradyca04]

what would happen if you brass barreled a drain blaster and shot an elite dart out of it

[@CaptainXavier]

You would hurt someone.

[@bradyca04]

i saw someone do it about 3 minuets later it shot through a box

[@jackarmstrong8790]

cobalt blue66 Yeah, I'm pretty sure a drain blaster is more powerful than a Titan, which can pierce skin.

[@rdilgart]

Whats the name of the drain buster gun thing? Im trying to find them online and cant remember the name for the life of me.

[@CaptainXavier]

It is just called a Drain Blaster. They come in several different colors.

[@matthewbecker2544]

Can you do a write up on the cyclone shock turret?

[@CaptainXavier]

Step 1. Acquire a Cycloneshock Step 2. Take out the cylinder Step 3. Cut piece of plastic in a disk the size of the cylinder Step 4. Drill center hole Step 5. Drill one hole lining up with a dart chamber Step 6. Cut the top off of a 3/4in PVC end cap Step 7. Glue the end cap to plastic around the hole Step 8. Bolt plastic disk to cylinder The mechanism that clicks to tell you when the barrel is aligned is a bit more complicated and takes parts from at least 2 other blasters (I happened to have them in my parts bin) so it could be...problematic. I'm sure you can work something out or skip it all together.

[@matthewbecker2544]

I was mostly interested in the locking part, the rest is the easy to figure out part.

[@CaptainXavier]

Well that figures... contact me via my commission page and I can send you pictures. I tried describing it...even I got confused...

[@TRASHEDTEG]

What coupler did you put on the drain blaster it's self

[@CaptainXavier]

It is just a section of 3/4in pvc pipe

[@TRASHEDTEG]

Thanks

[@penitentparadox]

I tried to get one a few days ago, but they sent email saying that they did not know when they would get back in stock, any other source you can think of

[@CaptainXavier]

Not of that particular brand. And it was half the price of any other. I suspect...us Nerfers, possibly especially me and my telling 5000 people about them, are why they are suddenly out of stock...

[@penitentparadox]

yeah but it went out of stock before at least monday, also do you know of maybe any alternatives?

[@badone2111]

really like the choice not to paint that one

[@chloe92us]

Cap X write yourself a note and stick it on your cuttey-mabob so your ember to show it in the respective video... Just a thought.

[@CaptainXavier]

...what?

[@chloe92us]

So that you would Rembrandt to show what you were doing in the video. You always have the text saying that you were doing something and it wasn't in the vid.

[@oiu9139]

Captain Xavier Write a sticky note on the dremel to show it in your video because you forgot to.

[@jonathanbenzur9648]

how much will a straven cost?

[@willieb.2681]

you should give those motors to some one who does electrical mods

[@CaptainXavier]

Like...me?

[@rzrider683]

Captain Xavier haha

[@poweraverage5773]

i was the 1000th like

[@eliot4436]

How much would this cost with only the sledgefire obsolver

[@CaptainXavier]

Contact me via my commission address (on my About page) and we can discuss. Part of the issue is that my source of drain blasters is out of stock...I probably should not have told everyone my source...it seems the vultures picked them clean!

[@melangkoh4184]

steelballs!

[@Cg41633]

How much would one of these be but with a single barrel added on and a paint job and a raider stock?

[@CaptainXavier]

I will not make Drain Blasters singled for Elites as I feel they are too dangerous.

[@Cg41633]

Ok but how much would one be without those things?

[@CaptainXavier]

Contact me via either Etsy or my commission address to discuss.

[@Cg41633]

Ok thanks

[@jensontaylor4801]

My bet is that he makes a sledgefire cylinder for EIR.

[@DjOnslaught0713]

He did already

[@DJNIAPO]

Hey Bossman, not sure if you covered this already, but where do you get your drain blasters from? online or is there a store you go to?

[@joelwilkerson2235]

Look in the description.

[@RatkingNyxu]

Item listing as no longer available :\

[@joelwilkerson2235]

I don't know then.

[@DJNIAPO]

I've seen them online, I was just wondering if he had a store he preferred. thanks.

[@CaptainXavier]

Well...damn...I wish I have ordered more when I had the chance...now I will have to find a new source...

[@laszlo6921]

hi captain xavier the drain blaster source does not sell them anymore😦😦😦😦please fix

[@CaptainXavier]

LLLBricks ...how exactly do you expect me to do that? I gave ya'll the link and you cleaned them out. No more sources for you! :P

[@joshywoshy9724]

Where do we commision as i might like something like this

[@CaptainXavier]

The address is on my About page

[@joshywoshy9724]

Captain Xavier ok thanks

[@JSKROX]

IDEA! Stupid one but an IDEA NONE THE LESS! Someday, get a mastodon. and turn the cylinder into an absolver! Super inefficient but an IDEA NONE THE LESS! (this is joke, don't ruin mastodon for absolver.)

[@johnbarrineau8404]

Question: can you use a stockade for this build as well? Comment: I want to fill the sledgefire shells with cut dowm elites so it fires 6 at a time.

[@CaptainXavier]

As far as I know the shells of the Stockade and Barricade are the same so probably. That would work just fine. I use half darts in my Nerf mine.
