[@CaptainXavier]

I have got to get me one of these now...

[@MakeTestBattle]

Yesss. Would look sick in the X-strike colours.

[@randomsnow6510]

But can it take a k26? The real question is can it take a 25kg camping tracer spring but that doesn't have the same ring to it.

Amazing stuff. I used this video to build my shotgun megalodon. I linked you in my description. Cheers!

[@traingeek2000]

20:38 thank you for syncing the hammer blows to the music that was incredibly satisfying

[@dangermaus9253]

Agreed. That was very cool, same with the "tickler".

[@MakeTestBattle]

Thanks for noticing. Did the same with the oscillator and mitre saw strokes.

[@dangermaus9253]

@@MakeTestBattle I didn't notice it on the mitre saw section so I watched it again. I think you're right about the conduit flexing into the fence gap due to it being a sliding mitre saw. Tooth count and tooth geometry can also greatly affect the cut on different materials. A good blade costs more than the entire modded blaster though.

Lastly, thanks for actually modding. It used to be a thing on KZbin. I miss it.

[@Bobololo]

The tinfoil funnel is a great idea; wouldn't have thought of that. Looks like I need to get one of these bad bois

[@MakeTestBattle]

Thanks Bobo. Yeah it was $2 aud a tube for the epoxy I used but they don't have mixing stems. The ones that did were $8 for a smaller tube. Brain was like what can I use as a sacrificial funnel? Yeah they are fun.

@@DraconisMarchVII I was in the workshop by myself when it happened. There was blinding light, the room filled with compressed kinetic energy. I was visited by the spirit of the spring.... Soooo yeah nah yeah, it counts as a cameo mate.

[@justajolt]

24:00 AR removal synched to the music! Genius! EDIT: My goodness. It's even better second time around and it actually starts at 23:52

[@OCNerf]

Okay, I love how that first use of the oscillator was basically the guitar wail in Immigrant Song.

[@MakeTestBattle]

NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAH!

[@SegwayBossk]

I use popsicle sticks for mixing and oral syringes for getting epoxy into small places

[@MakeTestBattle]

Yeah that's another way.

[@tsmcgu]

If you're doing a lot of epoxy, pour it into a sandwich bag (or the finger of a rubber glove), close it off, mash it around to mix it, then clip off a corner or tip and squeeze it out like you're decorating a cake

[@MakeTestBattle]

You mad man! I'll try that next time.

[@captsomeguy1]

Walcom got me interested in this blaster, but You sold me on it. It's like a smaller capacity Dart Zone Magnum Superdrum, except that you can fire almost whatever you want out of it as long as you got a 3D printer. And it's fairly powerful once modded. Now I just gotta wait for it to go on sale.

[@MakeTestBattle]

Exactly. $30usd ain't bad but Black Friday/Cyber Monday is around the corner.

[@f2v2productions22]

Your editing style is, by far, favorite :D Your music syncs were so on point, I loved them all. Also, this build is AMAZING and I want one XD

[@MakeTestBattle]

Thanks dude. Just trying to do my best with what I got.

[@wadekirby8575]

When drilling out the cylinder for rear loading ports you could try using a piece of tubing as a drill guide. (As in, "load" a piece of tubing from the front of the cylinder and drill through it with a drill bit that just spins freely in the tube so the tube keeps the drill centered.) When cutting multiple parts on a chop saw it is common practice to clamp a stop the fence so that you don't have to measure and mark them all. A piece of wood (or other sacrificial material) clamped to the fence should stop the pvc from flexing and keep the cut square. I do believe this is the third time I've watched this.

[@zeroblade6599]

So you're saying that the same power that pushes a mega at 70something fps will push a halfdart to 150 fps? That's insane. Or was that the original spring? Also thanks for doing all that work for us man, now we can just copy you 👍

[@MakeTestBattle]

That's with the K26. And that's the idea, copy, learn and improve upon. :)

[@rmfberry261]

intro was awesome and the music with the music with the oscillator had me cracking up

[@nirodha7028]

I thoroughly enjoy your positive way of talking us through the content... you being ‘calm’ throughout the build... even when things go a little wrong or different from what you expected... is nice to watch! Great vid. Thanks!

[@MakeTestBattle]

THANK you, was going for that. This is more of a build log than a tutorial; was going for more a story that you can try too than an info dump.

[@nirodha7028]

Make.Test.Battle you did a great job at it! I cant imagine the amount of time invested in making this video. I like how you use a lot of ‘maker’ tricks in your vids to make the content enjoable to watch... takes a lot of editing skillz to pull that off... especially with the audio staying coherent throughout. The thing is... I know a good vid when I see it... I just don’t posses the skills to make them myself :-)

[@PAPO1990]

You can print that drum with MUCH lower infill. but maybe an extra perimeter in case you need to drill/ bore anything.

[@MakeTestBattle]

Was already doing 3 walls, 9%. I wouldn't go any lower.

[@PAPO1990]

Make.Test.Battle wow that looks like a lot of material for 9% maybe a different pattern like triangles. Though I have printed stuff as low at 5% infill before and it worked fine.

[@jakobderpelikan1176]

[@kittenclaws5775]

This is a fantastically shot and edited video! Also it's just a great and fun mod!

[@MakeTestBattle]

Aww thank you dude.

[@Daniemac]

I have a theory for barrel lengths. To get the right length I believe the barrel should have the same inner volume that the plunger tube has, that way when all of the air has been pushed the dart has left the barrel. This would utilize all air in the plunger tube, and get the dart out before there is a vacuum in the sealed blaster.

[@dangermaus9253]

Do you plan on adding a stock to it? You mentioned it was a bit tricky to prime without one in the heat of battle IIRC. Would a caulking gun with some silicone or adhesive work better to fill the dead space?

[@MakeTestBattle]

Yes, definitely. It needs a stock. And yeah, I guess a caulking gun would work, depends on the filler and if you can drill a clean hole through it.

[@williamschultz298]

Halllo

[@kiwi9065]

HALLO

[@randomsnow6510]

Really it needs a brass breach and a proper barrel. Make it feed off a clip is easy on lever action since you can put the mech on the opposite side of the priming handle pivot. I meant magazine oops

[@MakeTestBattle]

Thought the same already. :D

[@randomsnow6510]

@@MakeTestBattle if you do that do something similar to the sledge fire. Some madman stuck a 25kg spring in it so it would be crazy powerful. It on KZbin btw.

[@paulrobbins4879]

I think, with the design of this blaster, you might be able to put a pump grip on that if you added more barrel.

[@lawliet3379]

I wish the priming was a bit smoother

[@MakeTestBattle]

Yeah it's a little chunky. I may end up reinforcing the pivot point inside the shell.

[@neroforte6183]

Making this a shotgun makes it better than the "The Judge"!

[@narenthebeesechurgerman422]

Yeah, it has double the capacity and it’s way smaller

[@Crunkboy415]

You could've drilled the front out first then take out the spring and break the back plate with a hammer and screwdriver since it's a lot closer to the front.

[@MakeTestBattle]

The plunger would still stop at the remaining rim of the back plate with all that dead space. I nearly used a whole 25ml tube of epoxy to fill the dead space, say 20ml. If you are using 17/32 brass that would be 15.7cm of barrel's worth of dead space. You wanna that filled in.

[@wadekirby8575]

I'd try drilling a small centered hole from the front then flip the plunger tube over and follow the pilot hole with a forstner bit to take the back plate off, letting you remove the ar spring. Then put a piece of tube where the ar spring had been and fill in around it with epoxy. (Hopefully this would be fairly easy and use much less epoxy.) Then drill out the pilot hole to your preferred size.

What size is the PVC pipe? Its not linked in the description. Is the 3d print files avaliable? Good video enjoyed watching 150fps its very respectable for most events it seems thats around the cap.

[@MakeTestBattle]

It's 16mm Australian PVC electrical conduit, not sure if similar is available online internationally. Did link 17/32" brass, while more expensive it is a better dart fit. Added the Drum link to the description. Thanks for reminding me. www.thingiverse.com/AnUndeadDude/designs

[@Side85Winder]

@@MakeTestBattle I print mostly in ABS so i could get a perfectly acetone smoothed prints, I have also painted ABS juice to build up areas. I am also into budget cheap mods i dont want to spend to much into something i dont get to spend a lot of time on. I seen this blaster at Kmart today in Victoria on special for $45 so not a bad buy at all. The lever action would be really cool as well i think with the right acompaning attachments as you pointed out.

[@scottbionicnerf8727]

By the way, there's "some' pre-compression'" on that factory setup. On a side-note; I didn't fill the 'dead-space' in the plunger-tube my 1st time repeating the you've outlined here. Hilarious video by the way. I've watched it quite a few times. I'm going to be repeated this mod again in a different version(I do Integrations.)of this blaster. The next iteration of this build, I will be removing the dead space from the plunger-tube, In order to compare the difference between 'with-dead-space', and 'without-dead-space'. I'll be sure to send you pictures, and give you all credit for your influence. The blaster has been a great deal of joy, and frustration. As a result of this build, I've developed a new type of ammo. More on that later. Warmest regards. MrScott54, BionicBlasters.😉😁🤓😇😃😎🤠

I want to see the video of someone getting pegged in the back with a pvc barrel at 150 fps when the tape gives way again. Then just pretend it’s the new Nerf Mega accu-super-ultra dart.

[@williamdollison4161]

the air rest restrictor parts are 3 times thinner than the tube body so you can just pull them out through the front

[@scottbionicnerf8727]

Forgot to tell you, that I used a much K26 as was possible to fit, get it to compress and still catch. I think I was able to get 15.5 coils of K26 in there. It hasn't blown up yet, but I simply can't use Stock Megas, or Accufake-Megas. They Explode or blown the heads off. So, I decided to go with Modified Mega-Slugs. Fired flat from my shoulder, I can hit a 2Gallon(Oh yeah, that's 7.57Liters in Australian.😎) bucket from 60 feet(again, in Australian, that's A bit more than 18meters.) When I do firing demo for my KZbin channel, I'll be sure to give Australian numbers as well. MrScott54, BionicBlasters.

[@stevenpunk1312]

Thinking that with the dart posts removed, you should be able to shotgun rival rounds?

[@narenthebeesechurgerman422]

Interesting idea, but yes

[@nistelchel]

What modification did you made to shotgun setup? I removed AR and inserted K26 spring and my mega dart fires 80FPS. but my shotgun drum (Same one from the thingiverse link) only shoots 40fp max. I am not sure what is wrong with my shotgun drum.

[@benjaminmacdonald593]

You need a cross slide vice for that drill press

[@benjaminmacdonald593]

Do you mean to tell me you electrical-taped a hole and expect it to hold up over time? No. Put a length of electrical tape on the inside of the PT and put a bit of epoxy inside the hole from the outside. Then remove the tape and retape the outside to help that little epoxy plug from popping out.

[@MakeTestBattle]

I was thinking that, I think I said it and cut it from the video edit for time, but it isn't touching nor rubbing against anything.
