EOX Meta Breaker - The Most Advanced Nerf Blaster on Earth

[@MakeTestBattle]

Holy shit! :D At first I thought the NFC reader was overkill for just a mag detector but you've fully utilised its functionality. Auto slowing the RoF for 35 drums is genius. -Justin

[@ZackFreedman]

Thanks a lot! It's awesome that you watched my video - MTB tutorials helped me do the basic performance mods, especially upgrading the pusher.

That is the part I may want to try and copy before this I thought it was going to be way to complicated to be worth it

[@LordDraconical]

The east coasts most competitive wars are in Atlanta. Nosferatu and I are waiting to test your rather bold claim and your rather cool tech.

[@ZackFreedman]

The fight is on!

[@Flygonial]

Still would use it over Eli's brushless send over? Is the triple 3240 set-up simply good enough for almost anything or is it for pushing the theme of a 'simple' build vs. an 'overbuilt' one?

[@LordDraconical]

I enjoy using Echelon a great deal, but you're right. I constantly try and reinforce the fact that Nerf is more about the player than the equipment. Its important to show the next generation that this hobby isn't pay to win.

[@Flygonial]

A message FDS himself would endorse.

[@NerfModsByParker]

yeah your gun is brushless

[@N1sm0NIC]

I want so bad but considering how it's been a year either 1. You're finalizing it to be sold as a kit Or 2. It failed and caught on fire. I'm betting on number 1 though seems super solid

[@ZackFreedman]

It's #2

[@N1sm0NIC]

@@ZackFreedman ouch. So sorry to hear that, especially after these 3 years since you had the vid. I bet you prolly made more progress before it went aflame

[@arabianseas]

What about a #3 where we all get it for free 👀

[@N1sm0NIC]

@@arabianseas read what OP said. It caught fire

[@captainjackfender3757]

N1SM0 great name. I’m a Nissan fan myself too.

[@travelingspartan2035]

The ammo counter system alone is incredible, mucho respecto. One logistical issue I'm sure you've thought of, though: custom magazines. This means you can't just pitch a mag for faster reloads, however many you bring onto the field you *have* to have with you at all times or it's going to get lost or stolen.

[@Pioqueug000]

I am stunned. 5 year old me is still having a mental freak out.

[@jp-hh9xq]

And Poof I am suddenly loving this channel and reviewing 2017 videos. You nailed this format right from the start!

[@nihilistcoomergang7046]

When I read the title I thought he was gonna be some wannabe modded who thought that his slightly improved rapid strike was the best. Boy was I wrong. This is marvellous, and a work of art. Excellent job

[@datastorageable]

Great video. Great design and great build. Came across this three years after posting and it's still extremely impressive.

[@nosville22]

"let me show you it's features" HE IS THE CHOSEN ONE

[@xandercage2107]

Apparently, he seems to have collaborated with JoergSprave at some point 😂

[@Yeriom_]

My good sir, that documentation or tutorial would be heaven sent! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@LeSpade72]

I really dig the flexibility and how creative this project is

[@CloneCreepProduction]

were lucky to have a guy like you in our hobby!! soldier 76 would be proud ;)

[@dairylawnmax879]

He uses the correct terminology, then calls it a clip, so close. All joking aside really cool mod can't wait to see what else this thing could do.

[@josephjames3320]

exactly its a mag

[@watyhu99]

In real steel terms it is indeed a mag, bur according to nerf they call them clips...so technically he did use the "right" terminology....

[@ganymedeaerospace4580]

o_o This is simply insane. Excellent job on the electronic controls!

[@brycetaylor4789]

I would definitely buy that! Amazing work. Please make it a kit

[@EvilSpyBoy]

I'd probably look at the NFC rings you can pick up for fairly cheap over an implant/tattoo for the unlocking ;) (can pick them up for fairly cheap now, a quick google shows them for around $10)

[@Planes9905]

Wow. What a work of art. You've really outdone yourself

[@Ivegotaidea]

Would love a kit for my rapidstrike! Absolutely would buy. Also, so much cool in one video that lives up to the title.

[@eggbag4182]

I had my doubts at first, but nope! This is THE most advanced, though it could be even more advanced.

[@rampagehydro9677]

That is a wicked weapons sir!!! In Hydro We Trust!, Long Live the Republic!

[@brennanbush9729]

Man, Dennis Feinstein is really switching things up

[@kuyajochi]

At what point is it not nerf anymore?

[@Awonya]

at the point where it becomes airsoft or paintball.

[@totophi]

It's still very much Nerf, in part because it definitely doesn't fit anywhere else. Just not stock Nerf.

[@visionboxed]

when foam darts turn into nato ammo....

[@ALPHA.Mods.1]

Once it stops using darts

[@Purp1e_Grapes]

@@ALPHA.Mods.1 what about demolisher rockets?

[@reubenthomas1033]

This is really nice! I'm doing my undergraduate studies in Mechanical engineering and would like to begin learning electronics as well to make end to end projects. That's why I ask, when would the project be released as open hardware? :)

[@Nanoooonxnc]

THIS MEN DESERVES A MEDAL!

[@Finnbauman]

Lol when the FDL-2x is waaaay to expensive so you just build your own for like a third the price. Beautiful build man. Hope it serves you well.

[@e2rqey]

This was amazing you definitely exceeded any expectations I had coming into this video. You really thought of everything. Question, where did you get those OLED screens from?

[@TungstenEXE]

Awesome man!

[@GludiusMaximus]

I love the design

[@thankhashem]

NFC tag. Dude, this is getting military grade

[@ElNeroDiablo]

Found your channel thanks to your more recent Nerf/3D printing vid, and I am curious if you've been able to recreate the NFC-based functions of the Meta Breaker on some newer blaster (such as the Hyperfire or something like a Bulwark by JackRabbitNerfer), as it seems to be an awesome addition to the arsenal of almost any modding Nerfer.

[@Planes9905]

Cant believe I'm just now seeing this...I'm in love

I've managed to quell my jealousy for long enough to hit that subscribe button. Lol. This is amazing.

[@kinex47474]

nice project

[@harrisonneyland2750]

What is the NFC module you are using in this blaster? I want to make one so can you please provide a parts list and the program you are running? Thanks a lot.

[@Kuro-oy9xs]

Any chance of getting some documentation for that NFC ammo counter?

[@benjaminmacdonald593]

Awesome tech, but you are making some bold claims... IMO all you need are brushless motors for this to be "The Best". While I love all thos mechanics, you are really missing out not having yourself a brushless setup...

[@captainjackfender3757]

Yes. More power and quieter. I’d also 3D print a housing to protect the electronics.

[@steventhehistorian]

This is. Amazing.

[@AwkwardHypernerd413]

What I want to know what that is covering your left eye?

[@pauliebertard4962]

[@aw2x214]

Amazing work

[@theprogrammer32]

Not my cup of tea, but very VERY cool nonetheless. The Jew-fro and Google Glass literally fit perfectly with this btw

[@Maxaphorical]

How much did this end up costing? Also, I'd love a kit

[@ZackFreedman]

Thanks! There's about $120 of stuff in the project - most of that is the Artifact cage, Artifact wheels, and the Rapidstrike itself.

[@CuBeKiDxD]

Zack Freedman now rapid strikes are just $100 for the blaster..... wow... Lol

[@xandercage2107]

Zack Freedman why did you choose the Artifact flywheels and cage instead of some other brands like OFP cages and Containment Crew wheels?

[@piege567]

Zack Freedman wow, that’s a lot less than I would be expecting for such an advanced mod!

[@FantasyKeyboard]

Did the last round stick into the white board at the end there? lol

[@ejipuh]

Does the NFC reader assume that you use a whole mag before swapping out? If so, does this cause any problems?

[@ZackFreedman]

It actually remembers how many darts are in each magazine. The lock card resets the whole loadout.

[@ethank1104]

Can how is this kit going because even as a causal player this would utterly dominate it's been a year so I was curious

[@a-aron3847]

Ok I hope I'm on your side

[@Eli-cc6ck]

thats the coolest thing i've ever seen when I was looking this Video i could'nt say anything

good lord thats awesome. would love to learn how to figure all that out

[@Perpurple]

Rad nerf gun, random video in my rec and worth

[@XeviousGG]

Would you ever experiment with airsoft modding?

[@aidenflynn7917]

Props to you for th nfc work but I would say the fdl 2, while not technically a nerf gun, is a bit more advanced.

[@cobbabuilds]

Amazing, well done

[@AliceTyrell]

Well that's pretty baller.

[@thegoathead7538]

Have you considered just using a color sensor and duct tape for your ammo counter?

[@ZackFreedman]

I want the ability to program magazines using a phone instead of burning new code onto the blaster. If the mag identifiers were hardcoded (color codes, magnets and reed switches, etc) I'd need to modify the firmware to assign the characteristics.

[@magnus800]

Did a kit or a list of components every come out. I’d love to tinker with this idea but I think I’m 5 years to late lol.

[@hellohi3540]

How do the nfc tags work exactly in combination with the nerf?

[@kevinedington8212]

This is awesome

[@jamesh3837]

Hey Rasputin, how long have you been on the no-fly list?

[@oxolotleman7226]

[@DonCarlione973]

Damn, that's a nice project idea. And it's so beautifully designed! I remember modding the Nerf blasters from 15 years ago for my kids But it was nowhere near anything like this. I hope that you do eventually sell it as a kit. That's a badass blaster!! 🫡✌🏼

[@teddyvansweringen5030]

Hey dude great job. Im new to nerf modding so could you please tell me the materials

[@machinerin151]

Thumbnail is kinda clickbaity. To be a smart gun it needs to have some sort of targeting. So... I need you to implement barrel bending by 1-2 degrees or something and a simple computer vision that tracks relatively by how much an object which you were aiming at when you pulled the trigger has moved, in order to keep aiming at the same object, including moving humans since computer vision can recognize a human nowadays decently well

[@bottomgear4028]

Sweet!

[@AndrewAitchison100]

You could make a HUD for aiming so even if your not looking directly down your blaster, you know where it's pointing. Like halo. Use accelerometers and gyros.

[@BabyShark-su1fc]

Can you make a pack please

[@danikisikan9821]
