[@dovahkendov2816]

The raiser is definitely for any scopes and sights for the blaster, just like the different variations on the AR from Halo 5.

[@LuckyAssult]

that is what I was thinking also. If you want to put any of the nerf scopes on it.

[@sambrown6426]

what they said.

[@ConeyDawg]

Try the Pheonix scope. You're welcome.

[@nwjonathans4642]

You gotta put a raiser on a raiser on a raiser on a raiser times 50

[@bearable3089]

We also will probably end up getting some more halo scopes since thats basically confirmed for infinite to have that type of customization

[@muselessmusician]

Mods I'd like to see on this blaster: 1. Lipo upgrade, and move said upgrade into the fore-grip, freeing space in the shell 2. Afterburner toward the front of the barrel, effectively shortening the barrel length to about 6 inches. 3. Make the Ammo counter real, using the nerf hardware as a base. 4. Select fire kit. 5. Obviously an upgrade to the existing cage, wheels and motors. Thanks for the review Drac! Keep up the awesome work, love the armor btw.

[@Enetso]

It'd be cool if he could install an actual flashlight under the barrel where that faux flashlight is as well

[@subbot8077]

Commenting to boost this lol

[@matthewhouseman5588]

[@ThatAsianGuy1987]

Why not implement all?? I support this so much

[@SamSquids]

in addition to the ammo counter, add a functional compass to the ammo counter.

[@FortyTwoBlades]

They really should have had an afterburner in it stock. Just saying.

[@SteamCase]

The blaster is 90% empty. Adding one will be easy.

[@Pyrocitor]

there's definitely room to fit another cage, maybe even more, inside the blaster nearer the front.

[@sniper957pro7]

You with that suit on reminds me of how big a spartan really is

[@KittenchaosYT]

[@user-sm4xb1kw6m]

lore states that Mjolnir armor is 500lbs, where as the armor for spartan 3s and onward armor is much lighter

[@WokeDEMOCRATShaveASPD]

Reminds me of my girl walking around In my sweatshirt.

[@David-nq8cv]

But not as tall as a Spartan

[@KittenchaosYT]

@@WokeDEMOCRATShaveASPD chill out. No one asked

[@Spartan412]

Best part is there are no clips or solvent welding. So feel free to unscrew it open and slap an afterburner into the front alongside all the other wonderful Drac love touch of modifications!

[@saberduck691]

This thing looks amazing but compared to your armor it lookes tiny

[@KittenchaosYT]

Lol yh

[@flamezombie1]

They were made for normal USNC marines, not Spartans lol.

[@titantitties]

When you swap out a gun from a marine, the weapon magically grows for Chief 😂

[@SuperSilver7591]

Now as tall as drac is, imagine him a foot taller and that's more accurate lol

[@titantitties]

@@SuperSilver7591 Turns out if you compare the game model of the gun to Chief's height, it's 4ft long

[@ripdachi2207]

0:42 it’s not even edited. He can just do that, he’s built different

[@xtremegaming1232]

The reason for that Amazon packaging is because in general they’re cutting costs on shipping. If they can simply slap a shipping label on the product’s original packaging and ship that, they will.

[@tristanw7981]

Yea I got my perses like he got the ma40

[@devon8419]

I got my stryfe like that too

[@greenfoam]

I sure hope they aren't shipping all the way to Australia like that.. The last thing I added to my cart they wanted 1000 usd for shipping..

[@xtremegaming1232]

greenfoam Unfortunately I see no reason why they would make exceptions for international deliveries, but here’s hoping that your packages come safe and securely!

[@greenfoam]

@@xtremegaming1232 It's ok there's a local reseller or two that import the better blasters. You end up paying triple the price but better than not getting them at all.

[@runningdark5224]

Maybe it was for scope since if you put a scope on the rail it would just be staring right into the shell of the blaster

[@kesselsauer4441]

It wouldn’t even fit.

[@plagueman049]

Or just wouldn't go on

[@danielarcher4060]

FINALLY, a review of this blaster from someone who knows halo :D

[@maximusgladi8or]

i mean if he did he would never talk about halo in the outfit. because none of the spartan ever needed to nor do they ever shoulder their weapons. their visors have integrated weapons aiming in them.

[@ElysiumCity]

I, for one, appreciate the grunt birthday party reference.

[@jacksonroop5850]

I little internal mod would make this blaster even better. Move the battery tray Make in run on LiPo Add an afterburner internally These are just some suggestions to make it preform a little better

[@CW22_YT]

I love how Drac just instantly becomes a little kid again when going on about Halo. Genuine enthusiasm is so refreshing in a time like this.

[@KDWolf27]

Interesting blaster. I have a friend that wants to use this to rebuild his MA40 that he had commissioned for Endwar. Beautiful integration of the Boomco MA40 and a Rayven, but it broke. So it's nothing more than a paperweight and cosplay prop now.

[@sergeantsriracha8295]

And some people say Drac doesn't put enough effort into his content.....

[@MJHootHoot]

I just hope he doesn’t use it in a nerf war against small people. He might hit them cuz he thinks they are grunts.

[@MishraArtificer]

Ugh...no. Dealing with the Zombies is bad enough, now you want us dealing with the FLOOD?

[@Mr.deacle]

The riser is so you can fit a standard Nerf scope on it, otherwise the rail would be entirely pointless and the counter could just be part of the shell.

[@michaelfinlay1412]

They could have done the classic integrated ammo counter version then slapped a rail on top

[@thatarftrooper9206]

anybody realise that riser is so you could attach a scope

[@jbed6]

i remember discovering this channel by waking up watching an older video, thought it was in french or something because I was in sleep mode. watched anyways, and now we're here

[@kablouserful]

2:15 I just thought of a good reason why Hasbro did that. I think they wanted a rail on top for your other scopes. But your other scopes need to sit higher. But they also wanted this rifle's scope as an attachment for your other blasters. So the best way to do all that is to have the raising rail attachment.

[@caboose842]

i pre-ordered this as soon as i saw it on amazon and looking forward to getting my hands on it. Props for slapping on the armour for the review!

[@The_RC_Dude]

It looks like there is more than enough room inside to fit an after burner at the very end, and a big chunky lipo too, maybe a custom select fire kit, via a motorized linear actuator with the board and stuff above/in front of the trigger?

[@suddendeathgames]

themelonboi nah, looks way too good for a home made project unless Drac is a Master of Arts and crafts! I reckon it’s a store bought suit that’s made from plastic and foam. Drac if you happen to see this comment and the suit is home made, *it’s bloody good!*

[@davidnguyen6823]

The raised rail is for other scopes. I've looked at pictures, and it doesn't seem like it''ll need it to be accurate. Otherwise they might've made the ammo counter into the mold anyway

[@sae.4]

I thought the suit was fake by the thumbnail but your actually wearing it! 10 stars!!!!

[@Rohirin]

You could add enough extra flywheels to get the darts up to 88mph.

[@Night_Rider83]

Now what next? Hmm. Needler, Covie Carbine, Magnum, Socom, Plasma Pistol, DMR and Battle Rifle and a Rocket Launcher that shoots actual Nerf Rockets. That's alotta work hasbro

[@RoryStarr]

HONM has already established you can fit 7 afterburners in it, so I'll be happy to see you do that with a backpack lipo.

[@yeetis941]

I think the rail riser is there so you can put any tacticool attachments on the blaster, like a scope or light

[@daremoyt7216]

I think the rail riser is meant for when you put any sights onto the blaster so they can clear the chunk of plastic infront of it

[@AngelNatavi]

The riser is for scopes or other optics, to get it above that shroud in front.

[@mentula3784]

Pre-ordered mine yesterday 👍 (UK)

[@genedocsinnovations8319]

Goodonya Drac buddy for Summer sweating out the full MChief gear for us in your review!

[@GrimzNerfWorks]

I've been waiting for this for ages. i think twilight's would be fun to have in it. maybe there's a cage in the future? The MA40 is based on the halo reach variant where the ammo counter was noticeably not connected the rest of the upper, so that's why they could get away with making it an attachment. hope that makes sense :D

[@jonathanmccleery6892]

That white piece for the rail is an attachment for scopes, if you want to put one on

[@williamvergerwolf150]

I'm thinking a working select fire switch to replace the fake plastic toggle, and an afterburner closer to the muzzle to make up for the extra barrel.

[@stijnVDA1994]

I think the rail riser is for red dot sights, and i think the two modulus red dot variants might work. But the green might be a bit bright, but the other has none.

[@dragonb0817]

Drac cosplaying is one of the best things I’ve seen all day

[@turretslayer2251]

The rail riser is for other scopes and attachments that don't fit on top of the rail. Also, that blaster fires really nice.

[@alanjagroop1282]

Does it have anyway to add a lucky charm to it. Like a Keychain. Similar to how people using it in halo infinite game.

[@theedragonking1]

Once I get this blaster I am definitely spray painting this black

[@brendacurry5153]

[@WestTheBestest]

I think the rail attachment is there just in case you want to put a sight or scope on it. Just an extra

[@LazyAgent08]

Its a rail riser you can put other scopes and attachments.

[@lancejay4958]

The sight raiser is if you want to add a different scope.

[@Haydibear]

The orange tab thingy on the side is Cortana!

[@rkmsartist4547]

Drac: ohh no, forgot my mask. **runs back home and couldn't find mask** Drac: ehh, this halo helmet suits better 👌. A 1000 iq

[@themandalorian9511]

I think the rail raiser is intended for scopes that otherwise couldn’t be used on the blaster since the front would be blocking it

[@DoughBoi-cs4qt]

In halo lore that ammo counter is a rail attachment on all the ARs and that is where it is attached on the MA37 (which is practically the same) the riser is for sights, as different optics could be mounted and would need to clear the “fin” like top of the AR.

[@MrCabooodle]

i think the rail riser is for using a different scope if you want, its weird but i kind of get it

[@nightelfmohawk9821]

Draco I can't wait to see what it looks like painted up all nice

[@2JZDestroyer]

blaster seems to need some form of afterburner, wouldn't hurt to have a katana converter too.

Hey puppies! As always thanks for the bull pup love! I can't wait to see your undead improvements to the MA40.

[@hostile_prof]

You can tell he prefers the maybe, that's the one that had the ammo counter molded in. The Reach MA the counter was an attachment like this one us

[@nicholasmazzarella2720]

Lord Drac Wow such a cool blaster. Wow such a great review. Thanks for checking this out for us. Keep up the great work.

[@bogdanpascari44]

That raiser is there just in case you want to swap the "ammo counter" with some optic

[@ryanblake7114]

the reason why is because its modeled after the ar from halo reach, which the ammo counter was removeable because it was a prototype

[@Lolsniper541]

Takes me back to the old spartan longshot. Perhaps a side by side comparison is in order ?

[@xxrocketshark216xx4]

Im assuming the logic behind the riser piece/the ammo counter being a removable rail attachment is so that you can put scopes and otber rail attachments onto it?

[@CK-19actual]

I think the rail riser is to put other sights that aren’t included on the blaster, and so you can actually see through the sight.

[@LordDraconical]

But... why?

[@zfoamindustries210]

There needs to be a friction fit demolisher rocket attachment for the Nexus pro so it can shoot all ammo types

[@zfoamindustries210]

Could you please make one

[@Otacsom]

The riser is supposed to be used, when you want to use a scope, as the front of the blaster would block it otherwise.

[@Luke_212]

The rail riser is so that you can put any other scopes and sights on the blaster

[@AwkwardHypernerd413]

From the pictures of the internals, there is a LOT of space for afterburners. I’m thinking like three rows of afterburners

[@AlexWithington]

The ammo counter being detachable it part of the design used in halo reach

[@davidbradley3227]

Question. Is the fake ammo counter housing large enough to install the real ammo counters display into? It looks kind of narrow.

[@sinisterisrandom8537]

it's possible

[@davidbradley3227]

Thanks mate. It looks like it’s gonna need a serious upgrade to be usable

[@irritatingnoises]

The weird position of battery tray was probably to remind boomco about the "Barrel" on their MA40

[@cadetkohr5508]

I'm gonna get one of those, paint it just like the MA5B with an orange barrel, give it some Krakens and a Lipo, and then have a lot of fun in my power armor.

[@rajingcajun488]

Looking forward to the mangler pistol that was advertised on the back

[@michaels9595]

The riser seems its for other scope compatibility. I think we should applaud them for including it. Modulus scopes might look good on it.
