[@qwertyasdf66]

I'm worried about your auxiliary power socket at the back. Because audio connectors like this are _designed_ to briefly short the terminals as you plug them in. In this case, it means briefly shorting a LiPo battery... I suggest you swap that out for a cannon/XLR connector. It would also have other advantages like: more rugged; locks in place; you can have a fatter cable to deliver higher currents; and you could use the 3rd connector as a trigger signal for your remote triggering environment you have going there (not sure if you're already doing that with the audio connector).

[@CaptainXavier]

Thank you for the advice! I will look into this! I had the audio jack handy and haven't actually used it yet. I will add swapping it out to the list. Thanks!

You know I can't decide if I'm discouraged or inspired by these videos. Discouraged due to the fact that you are leagues ahead of anything I've ever done and inspired due to the fact that I want to be able to do what you do.

[@CaptainXavier]

I would go with inspiration. Everyone has to start somewhere. My early modifications to EIR were simple. She got to where she is today after years of tinkering.

You could also also make EIR stand for something. Such as something like Electronic Integrated Retro-volition. Hey I just made that up and it sounds pretty cool. (With a cool meaning as well)

[@cosmicsoftness6580]

Underbarrel double barrel shotgun + chainsaw = iconic zombie killer combo

[@james-cal]

Your videos are awesome please continue making them. But I have a question. Eir is beyond amazing but why didn't you (or do you) use the rapid strike instead. It's smaller, has the same amount of tactical rails, has a barrel attachment point (which kind of fits with your whole modular thing) and performs better.

[@james-cal]

Also you should cut off the front end of eir and replace it with a barrel attachment thing that way you could add any barrel you want

[@CaptainXavier]

I did not use a Rapidstrike because when I first got into Nerf the Rapidstrike did not exist yet. I did not switch to the Rapidstrike because, for various reasons, I do not like it as a Primary for HvZ. I like that the Stampede it bigger, that is why it is able to accommodate all of the internal mods I have done. They would not fit in a Rapid Strike.

[@james-cal]

Captain Xavier okay thanks!!!

[@botanicalmenace9995]

Captain Xavier can you tell me where you get your paints and how you paint as i am doing a similar mod to my tri strike. I will paint it and name it HEL after the norse goddess of the underworld. Pls reply. PS I think you are amazing.

[@user-kz8vw7ry7o]

Is it only a stampede? It looks like a rayven and rapidstrike are integrated with it. I know the rapidstrike wasn't a thing when you started nerfing, but the tac rail carry handle thing. I mentioned the rayven because of the handle.

Nope...it is a Stampede.
