Nerf Mod: The Echelon (3 Round Burst + On-board Computer)

[@freyja-athena957]

on board computer? what's next? a smoothie machine attachment for more tactical beverages?

[@claudefaustus3104]

the courier IM ON IT!!!

[@blarghinatelazer9394]

Why are we not funding this?

[@pyrrehraus6571]

Built in self destruction antimatter package, life support system(5 days), ice cream port, dimensional transferrable magazine

[@Mr.Fahrenheit1187]

Lol!

[@era23]

lol someone needs to make that

[@Calthecool]

Welcome back to 5 minutes of Drac sawing through bubble wrap.

[@odstkchamp7719]

now if only nerf would create something like this xD

[@O9bz3]

I think they're not allowed to. It would cost a lot too

[@tylermai1436]

they're not allowed to because it would be dangerous for kids

[@dickbuttstudios2003]

+Tyler Mai they could make it as powerful as other N-Strike Elite blasters (unmodded)

[@calvinlee2261]

+dickbutt studios Using brushless motors in mass produced children's toys would be very costly.

[@odstkchamp7719]

yeah true ^

[@davidlazarovich]

This + Titan CS-50 Drum = Tears of Joy

[@spiff590]

One day drac will shoot through the teddy and regret ever doing it for days

[@beanieteamie7435]

You are every where

[@zackary-z]

this is the best blaster ive ever seen via youtube

[@scottroyce8751]

What does via mean

[@apfeltee34]

He made a rayven

[@benlam419]

Hey Drac, are the brushless motors responsible for the motos turning off right as you let go of the rev trigger? I noticed that and it sounds so crisp and amazing. And if you every get a chance to do another "About" video, can you do one on brushless motors and the benefits of them?

[@DevilZcall]

Motor braking is a thing even for normal Motors, it works by shorting the Motor to itself. those brushless motors might be more responsive though.

[@benlam419]

DevilZcall very cool, thanks

[@normalnormansizzle]

+DevilZcall hey i was subscribed to you for many years i like the blowback lego guns

[@LordDraconical]

+Ben “Sheep” Lam Indeed, they have active breaking. I may have time to make an about video down the road

[@nightell4099]

that blaster straight up sounds like a space rifle

[@reallocal]

i can't be the only one in quarantine binging drac vids

[@Jason-nj5qe]

Wow just noticed the new mobile youtube update. you can like comments

[@FLAFRefuelled]

not on android ;-;

[@austinbertholds3094]

Wow, this is an odd update

[@DrippyBleedEm]

+Zelpa2 he's talking about Android

[@David-nq8cv]

I actually hate the new feature, but I have to get used to it

[@netherhaileygaming4631]

WOW

[@emotiondisorder7685]

full-auto maybe not my cup of tea, but 3-round burst make me feel like mastercheif -Drac 2k16

[@NorthernBayAreaCoalitionofNerf]

Eli does stunning work! He's been coming to our games for the last few months, and I'm always excited to see what he brings with him.

[@crimson0893]

Now you have your own Nirwen's mercy

[@germansoviet6826]

Robert?

[@ruetzer]

Really...

[@meroastisruined3039]

Drac there is now a kit for the Stryfe where you can change between semi auto, burst of 3 darts and full auto

[@TheYarl5000]

Link or name?

[@GreekGadgetGuru]

I'm surprised the darts can flywheel through brass. How does this work? I always thought brass was for plunger air blasters.

[@Flygonial]

Brass is used in flywheel applications as a barrel just to increase consistency in the dart guide, or make a canted flywheel cage work decently - without brass. At a certain velocity, a canted flywheel cage will just spin out 'whirlybird' or 'helicopter' darts with severely limited range. A brass guide helps control this.

[@ImpulsiveBacon]

that's cooler than lots of thing you make drac. no offense, you the man, but dang this is a nice blaster

[@matthewgreenbaum7519]

My guess as to how the blaster works without seeing the guts: Microcontroller checks select fire switchif on the first switch, then add value to variable, if second, adds a different value to the same variable and so on.When rev switch is pressed, the Microcontroller checks the value of the variable which determines however many times that he set it to turn for each mode.I assume that the way that he timed the motors to dispense exactly the right amount of darts was by timing the rotations of the motors, which explains why he chose brushless motors.This is a really cool mod, I hope that Eli posts some vids about it on his channel.

[@tomashossain-aguilar5816]

Did I ask

[@tomashossain-aguilar5816]

Jk

[@alexanderjuneco1852]

This is my favourite nerf mod ever. Select fire is sick

[@remotecontrolaholic]

This is really cool. I especially like the use of brushless motors, something I'd been wishing I could do for a while.

[@miniaturelabyrinth7765]

That feeling When people think battle rifles only shoot bursts.....

[@someloser8720]

you are half of a human and the other half is soup

[@IvanMoreno-uy2dq]

He's talking about he halo battle rifle that one only shoots burst.

[@xxmickeymoorexx]

been watching your stuff for a really long time. I never say a word but this is worth breaking my silence. this has got to be the best blaster have ever seen you review. the only change I would make is the exposed wire on the voltmeter. some paranoid wire wrap would be nice. the burst shot and brushless motors sound beastly. now I just wonder what it cost you all told.

[@tonymeistro]

I don't comment much on videos but the level of craftsmanship that Eli has put into that blaster is truly amazing! I hope one day to either own or be able to do what you guys do and mod my own. :)

[@itz_drakmin]

Just wanna say that before I even saw the video, I looked at the thumbnail and practically died. It looks awesome

[@Andy-iq9pz]

0:44 "I commissioned a person I've never met before" 1:17 "We've become pretty decent friends"

[@brookerobson2582]

Omg i love how when you let go of the rev motor how it instantly stops

[@reubybenson8653]

+LordDraconical, do you find it more comfortable to look through the sight on your top rail with the cheek riser? I currently run my red dot sight on top of the top rail and its not too comfortable to me.

[@hobahoba8786]

skip to 4:05 trust me it takes him 4 min just to unbox

[@milesboeddinghaus7588]

The motion sickness is real

[@tailofair1307]

That's just an amazing blaster. Props to the creator/modifier.

[@thekingofplay8539]

And, I've found a new project that must be started before NVZ 2017 lol That looks crazy good, well done Eli! I'm in love with 3rd burst, I must have.

[@chunguankoh6103]

wow. the grouping for the dart is tight from the video! do you mind showing us the internals of this beautiful blaster?

[@fredzogrey4984]

YES!!! A halo reference from drac, my life is complete

[@stijnVDA1994]

hey drac, is it a good idea to create a kind of course that would test standart and modded blasters in a war type scenario?? greetings from holland.

[@dickbuttstudios2003]

id say so.

[@EpicTurtle113]

Drac, Incredible blaster in every way I have one mundane question though, what FPS is that shooting, because i cannot get over the accuracy of those darts, its unreal

[@Kendo47Wowgeek]

How much does a commission of this high quality cost?

[@landonbilyeu5285]

Probably a thousand or so, *experts correct me if I'm wrong

[@Nick-hm9rh]

+LandonBilyeu no just the Money for the Gun the red dot And the thee burst 3D Models are cheap

[@landonbilyeu5285]

Black-Panther-Airsoft I was saying my price if he wanted it done for him, because labor is a big factor in these commisions

[@jamesplatt3148]

This probably cost in the $500 range.

[@dragonborn5832]

Who else didn't win Bobololo's giveaway?

[@LightningEagle14]

Everyone.

[@alexbowcock2383]

me😥

[@cr4shmycar118]

He didn't put up the vid yet! how do you know?

[@alexbowcock2383]

Nightslash360 it was for me

[@cr4shmycar118]

alex Bowcock Can you put a link to it?

[@CarterG4Y]

It seems to be capable of ten darts per second, if not more. That's 600 per minute. If I'm not mistaken, most military-grade rifles are about 600 rounds per minute as well.

[@thekingofplay8539]

We definitely need a full review of this beast.

[@thesquad-airsoftgamingnerf9643]

how much did the commission cost?

[@L33TH4XM8]

I know, right!

[@scarlettbandit2803]

Something my father always told me... "If you have to ask, you can't afford it."

[@thezachvolt6883]

Like, $50,000. Or something.

[@draxusdemos8266]

The Zachvolt not at all definitely less than 1000 dollars probably less than 500

[@rexammus]

The Zachvolt nobody would go that far fort "toys"

[@melissahazlett1293]

surprisingly quiet, and sounds way deferent than you'd expect from a moded flywheel blaster

[@lyncis6552]

Correct me if I'm wrong but is that a jack skellington Santa? I can't really tell as my phone screen is too small

[@clone734]

This is the coolest thing i have ever seen

[@GrimHC]

I’ve never heard a Battery powered Nerf blaster sound like this, truly a very powerful and legendary piece of war gear.

[@totophi]

Great stuff as usual! However, I was kind of expecting footage from the targets' perspectives, as you often do in other firing test videos.

[@R158-s9r]

But brushless motors do not produce a steady amount of torque until they are fully revved for between 1 to 5 seconds depending on the motors

[@thelegonerfmaster8]

That rapidstrike is an absolutely phenominal masterpiece.

[@reubybenson8653]

I like that dart counter? Where can I find that one as opposed to the huge clunky one?

[@calvinlee2261]

What constitutes it having such a long brass barrel? The other cages that use brass have it extend from the cage no more than 3 inches.

[@Dadodought]

I'd love to see you make an unkempt Harold, from borderlands with a hammershot

[@dickbuttstudios2003]

that'd be kinda cool. remove the center bar, and make it fire all darts at once... boom, close as you can be.

[@Dadodought]

Yeah but you'd need ridiculous springs to get decent range

[@benparker666]

tryI TC CT Ichigo kko in

[@ENP10]

What clear coat do you use? I've been having trouble trying to find one i like. I've tried the matte rustoleum but it is kinda weird, I'm thinking about trying the dupli color matte wheel clear coat but i would like to know what you use/have used thanks! Ethan-

[@Mousedroid98]

Hey, so I wanted to ask a quick question, and I couldn't think of any other place to ask it but on the channel of my favorite vampire Nerfer! I'm looking into a rewire and overvoltage of my Rapidstrike, and I was trying to figure out a battery to use with it. I have a 9.6v 1600mAh NiMH battery and was wondering if that's usable for such a project, but I've read elsewhere that such a battery could kill my stock motors pretty quickly. I'm running on a fairly low budget, so any suggestions are welcome! Thanks to whomever answers!

[@detpxser7685]

"And you can see I'm going to stop sawing this, it's really delicate" *stabs*

[@mikefromprison830]

Drake you are my favorite you tuber ever every single one of you videos inspires me to mod and paint one of my own blasters.You are the best

[@mikefromprison830]

drac auto correct

[@olivermuller150]

That 3 round Burst is insane!!! but i gess its WAY to expensive for someone like me in germany... Cool Gun never then less

[@julianborner8034]

Deutschland und die Preise . Eine schande

[@swiftsnipers328]

Plus people in America like me even wouldn't be able to afford that, that's like 1,000 dollars (USD no euros) and that's really expensive here.😬 I'm 40.5% German😂

[@Nick-hm9rh]

Ich bau dir eine für 250€

[@Flygonial]

You could build a Rapidstrike with a triple 180 set-up and a live-center rewire for the point where the most blatant diminishing returns show up. Sure, it won't have any of the 'lil trinkets that make most brushless builds so special, but the response time will damn near be instant, and single shots will be perfectly possible. With enough practice, you can get used to single shots and bursts without panicking, learning to fire with trigger time as opposed to trigger pulls. Good enough? Definitely, arguably even more so. It'll never be as cool as the Echelon, but it can go toe to toe in most scenarios.

[@poopprincess92]

get a regulator

[@monsterbros2172]

Can you put the link were you bought the rapid strike in the disruption below

[@jarodkim6271]

crazy idea ahead would it be possible to use the raider, strip of the top, and have two cycloneshocks 18 darts where the handle grip primes both?

[@matthewedge5684]

but my all time favorite is The Oblivion.that gun was probably one of your best ones

[@GabeNewellDFTBA]

"Sawing Bubble Wrap With The World's Dullest Knife" should be the title.

[@narwhocalypse9656]

Why don't you use 35 round drums?

[@Bobololo]

A lot of people don't use drums for 2 main reasons: 1. Some of them can't keep up with higher rates of fire. Sometimes they crap out, but others can handle it. 2. Space. For HvZ and wars, drums are space eaters! In the same space as 1 35 drum, you can fit 2-3x more darts with 18 round mags.

[@muslischeier2978]

+IAmBobololo educational with a Viking

[@Tempestblade00]

they don't feed darts as consistently.

[@nolankarosen8812]

Congrats eli you made a fdl 3 before the fdl 2 was made

[@unethicallemon67]

Drac you sound tired bud take a nap, i like the enthusiastic drac!

[@fatboyslim458]

Is the pusher motor brushless as well? Also do a vs agenst Nosferatu. (spelling?)

[@OwenC1]

I'm in experienced RC hobbyist, and I was wondering if you could use the same type of lightbulb batteries for those type of guns that you do for our sea i'm in experienced RC hobbyist, and I was wondering if you could use the same type of lightbulb batteries for those type of guns that you do for rc?

[@Furiora]

While I don't deny this is a beauty, I don't really see the point in a select fire. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE burst guns, but if you take a modded Rapidstrike like the Nosferatu that works the pusher as fast as it does, wouldn't pulling the trigger like you would a semi-auto give you a burst anyway? To me, doing that seems more useful in like a HvZ style game so you don't blow through your ammo but don't have to fiddle with a switch to be able to hose darts if a huge hoard shows up around the next corner. Just my thoughts.

[@Flygonial]

There is no real point in select fire with trigger discipline and good electrical work. Any reasoning stems from a lack of training. The Nosferatu has almost perfect cycle control and will easily get off single shots if you want it to. A Rapidstrike with similar internals (all 180s, live-center wiring) would be perfectly controllable once you get enough practice in. The best select fire module is your own muscle memory, as you said, no need to toggle between firing modes. Of course, this is a beautiful piece and an a incredible piece of foam-flinging engineering. But yeah, I agree that a more conventional build can do just fine. Oh, also, some comparisons on reddit between brushed motors and brushless show that most brushless motors don't really rev-up quicker than 180s in any relevant way (We're talking differences in margins like 0.05 seconds), some of the worse ones are actually slower. They might be better with metal flywheels but more research has to be done there.

[@brianlee2039]

Drac, could you tell us how brushless motors work, where to get them, their suitable sizes and how to install them?

[@harrisonwilbanks2380]

the amount of hilarious knives you possess is astonishing.

[@Manifoldace]

Add a clear plastic part at the back and a set of leds and gold trim and you will have a nerf telesto

[@caseywellington4761]

That is the single most amazing Rapidstrike in the world.

[@RvKsword]

that is freakin beautiful, the 3d parts looks amazing

[@jonathantrotter5832]

Hey Drac! This is the best foam flinging blaster I've seen in a long time! Is this your go to primary now?

[@skrillexfan6731]

Drac, I have watched every single of your videos and liked them all. How much would an Oblivion rifle cost me?

[@mynameismichaellive3898]

The piece that comes up off of the stock is called a cheek rest

[@ryand6312]

Thats not a holographic sight thats a cheap red dot that you can get for $15 on amazon lmao

[@dickbuttstudios2003]

what is the difference, the shape?

[@koruleigh978]

Yeah, Holographic sights (Eotechs) have a bulkier body, real ones go for $400+ and appear similar to, well, a hippopotamus mouth shapewise. What that is, is a reflex sight. Very thin body, thin frame, and inexpensive by comparison. Not a whole lot protecting the lens structurally.

[@ryand6312]

dickbutt studios no a holographic sight is made with better materials and quality and holographic sights dont have something called paradox which red dot sights have if you are wondering paradox is when you look at the sight from a different angle and the crosshair is on target but you dont hit it cuz of the paradox with holographic sights that doesnt happen with red dots (i own the one in this video) you often have to put up the front back up iron sight to be able to hit targets easily because of the paradox thats why soldiers use holographic sights much easier to get the target correctly in your sights

[@ryand6312]

Koru Leigh read my reply to dickbutt that tells you why holographics are so expensive and what the difference is

[@dickbuttstudios2003]

I already did.

[@olivermarsden7560]

Hey drac I love ur work and I have watched all of ur vids for three years now even since the face reveal love ur work oliver

[@TommyGunnThompson]

Hey Drac! How would one go about getting in contact with this gentleman? I poked around on Eli’s channel and couldn’t find a way to contact him.

[@Beyfire99]

I love the sound it's not as loud as regular ones

[@mostafarezk1972]

Hey drac, are the blade nasferrato motors stronger or the brushless motors stronger, also is the something such as brushless 180 blade motors?

[@mingaangpark5840]

would it need a custom sized cage or would the snikkas cage fit it? and do you need the computer/ arduino unit to handle and use the brushless motors?

[@seansmith6377]

Hey Drac how do you name your blasters

[@dellylp_2882]

How come your blasters arnt more like this?! WHAT KIND OF MONSTER ARE YOU FOR CURSING BLASTERS WITH LESS FUTURISTIC AWESOMENESS?! GOSH DANG IT!! I LOVE YOUR STUFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!

[@andrewchung546]

I wish I had the capability to do mods like that but my per ants would never let me.😔

[@andrewheil1158]

Wait, if brushless motors have 3 leads, does it have North, South, and like, West?

[@chi-dog738]

You should make a video where you take it apart and talk about its internals.

[@m33mn33]

I've always wanted to see a Vulcan mod video. I always felt as though it has potential.

[@liamepp5221]

the adjustable piece on the stock is a cheek rest

[@amessedupkiwi7130]

Hey Drac, are you going to start doing bulk reviews or are you going to stick with the singular videos so you make more money?

[@coolio7234]

when he shot the full auto mode it was so quick my computer lagged.... this is the number one full auto nerf gun

[@earthtoajay1154]

drac, why dont you do a vid comparing the nosferatu and the echelon like u did with the nosferatu and hyperfire

[@gabrielneedhampotts47]

the active breaking is so nice!

[@spotdavis3242]

That 3 round burst is wicked.

[@sinnamontoastcrunch3]

This and the Oblivion would make great prop guns for a video game.

[@clone734]

What is the darts per second in full auto for this?

[@vince8849]

Drac, would you mind me saying, How much did you spend on that beauty?

[@jkk6435]

I'm a little new to the terminology, so what exactly is the actual advantage or brushless motors?

[@samuelchan7279]

Wow Drac, you're so poetic

[@louistoken9334]

Eli is a fucking dope engineer

[@ayelmao1224]

Now all you have to do is apply this 3 round burst tech to a shell made to look like a BR, and you've got a functioning, realistic Battle Rifle

[@vividmx5]

hey drac love your vids, keep up the good work!

[@QuartzRoolz]

wait, is this based on suros regime? because it looks a hell of a lot like suros regime

[@crestfallensunbro6001]

could Nerf guns be converted into tiny RPG launchers, the gun launches the round clear of the user before the propellant ignites to go the rest of the way, maybe you could use it for tracking darts or something

[@dickbuttstudios2003]

they would probably not fire very far.

[@crestfallensunbro6001]

the Nerf gun would launch the round, after 50-80 cm it would light a small rocket booster

[@Koliflower]

do you collects these things or do you have an actual use for them?
