Honest Review: The Gecko (A Night City Special)

[@numgun]

I think the blaster embodies Cyberpunk 2077 a bit too closely - ambitious, cool looking yet rough and buggy.

For anyone wondering, its based on the Militech M-76e "Omaha" Tech Pistol. Which is ironic, becuase that is the smallest, most compact weapon in the game and the Gecko is pretty big.

[@solonys9775]

I bought the files and printed one; the issue you are having with the slide is one of printer tolerances. I had the same issue until I printed an alternate slide lock, which Ehdrien has put up on Thingiverse; it seems to be enough of an issue that he has provided 3 to adjust for the tolerances. Printing the alt slide lock also fixed the problem with the difficulty in getting it to latch while primed. It's a very simple part that takes next to no time to print (I printed all 3 for testing and it took my Prusa a half an hour); I know you are short on time busting out great videos for us, but if you wanted to field the blaster, you could try printing the alternates and replacing it. It's only held in by a Caliburn alignment pin. Another thing is that the files actually come with 3 strength versions of the mag detent, so if people are having problems pulling the mag, they do have the option to print a weaker one.

[@Hi-ip6kh]

Interesting 🤨, So my question is how much time does it take to build and print in total and is it worth it ?

[@solonys9775]

@@Hi-ip6kh The print time will depend on your printer and material; that said, I used two printers at a decent resolution (0.12 PETG for internal parts, 0.08 PLA for external/show parts) and it took them about 2 days. The assemble time was super quick and simple; I spent maybe an hour, including the time waiting for some glue to dry on one particular part (which is recommended to be glued). It's a great blaster!

[@Hi-ip6kh]

Thanks fo the information Ok, then I’m going to be trying to do it then as well I’ve got a rarely average printer not the best but it’s fine. Hopefully turns out well, Thanks 😊

[@LoLo-wz3bq]

Maybe it's just my phone. But that gold looks pretty green to me. And... I actually like it that way.

[@akagainesy]

Yes! Please do the comparison of all of them..... I've been itching for one for weeks now that I've seen them all in various posts around the interwebs

[@martins_alternate_universe6783]

I does look pretty awesome, but maybe they should've tested it more and worked out the kinks before sending it, because first impressions make a big difference. Many people would be hesitant to spend $200. on a blaster that seems to need considerable refinements.

[@MrCashXD]

I've been hearing alot abt the gecko honestly I thought it would be one of those nerf dinosquad guns🤣

[@_fundaemental1100]

Haven’t touched a foam blaster in months. Cause COVID and snow. Literally had to take down my blaster wall cause my wife now works from home. But I never miss a drac vid. Keep your chin up Drac.

[@jackbrown3985]

I gotta day Drac, the music that plays during the photo shoots before range testing is seriously seriously cool.

[@dakillaklown715]

That would be amazing as some kind of CO2 powered auto loader. I don't know if that type of tech exists in nerf yet. But. I'm only 1 week into leaning about this stuff.

[@ChrisD__]

There's almost no CO2 stuff, I'm not sure why...

[@dakillaklown715]

I mean. Even if the co2 is just a booster for the recoil prime and chamber operation. I have a couple ideas but no way to build or test.

Having bought the files for this, I know Ehdrien has updated a few things. And since Valour was a part of the beta, your Gecko is likely a beta or release day file set.

[@newmonarchyforthewin6123]

wo whats with the wingman im the back round whered you get that thing!!!!

[@That_One_Guy_In_A_Band]

Man, I'd love to see someone make a semi-auto version of this with a slide that actually cycles on every shot. The way the slide lock works reminds me of a short recoil system, and perhaps that's intentional, or perhaps not, but in any case, this is a beautiful gun, and I'm probably gonna be getting myself one eventually, when the design is a little more mature and the kinks and bugs have been sorted out.

[@captsomeguy1]

A slide that actually cycles on every shot is probably not gonna happen, because the blaster is powered by a spring. Once you press the trigger, all the energy stored in the spring is released...like a crossbow. CO2 or HPA might be possible, but it can be dangerous if done improperly and most people don't have sufficient knowledge or the resources to make it happen.

[@That_One_Guy_In_A_Band]

@@captsomeguy1 HM... Yeah, I mean, without making the trigger pull so heavy no one could use it, there isn't a lot of way it could be done, except maybe HPA, CO2/Green Gas, or a battery blaster, the only one that I could see working relatively well being Green Gas, as you could have a gas tank built into the magazine, or into the blaster, and then just refill it when needed. Actually, yeah, that might work, as it would be the best choice for preserving the lines of the blaster... Hmm... Now I'm getting ideas in my head...
