Nerf Community "Secret Santa" Build - Custom Doublestrike Integration

[@WalcomS7]

This is the best thing you've built. Sorry other things.

[@MisterNathan]

Walcom S7 "S'okay... No harm done." -Other Things

[@nicolasmarquez1966]

Walcom says this only because of the whole pistol thing

[@pickleboi7505]

Walcom S7 lol

[@skylerholden1099]

Mister Nathan I saw this comment and the first thing I thought was smart@$$ lol

[@arronalvarez6813]

Review the hyperspin

[@jthoma82]

Wow. Such a seamless integration. It looks like it was bought in a store.

[@Galathorn_]

The Nitefinder grip was a nice choice. The lines on the back echo the Doublestrike's detailing around the hammer. Nice work!

[@MisterNathan]

Galathorn oh hey, hadn't noticed that. Good eye! Its stuff like that that really helps pull an integration together, visually (even when it's unintentional!)

[@Spamman4587]

This is one of my favorite mods ever.

[@NaptownNerf]

Awesome little pistol! I hope I see this at the war this weekend. I've always wanted a boomco messenger, but kinda figured I'd have the same issues you did. Super cool that you went to the effort to try and convert it to Boomco though. Zombona does love boomco but uses Nerf blasters also, so he'll be ok. lol

[@Boomtendo4tw]

Naptown Nerf blono did it to his rough cut and I did a voidcaster. just need to make the barrels longer so the rubber head keeps the dart in and keeps the smart ar from popping the dart out. It works pretty good but upgrading the spring is recommended as the darts are heavier

[@NaptownNerf]

Cool, good to know.

[@jjjjjoeeeeee]

Blade runner Nerf blaster. Super cool blaster

[@benlam419]

I hate how you say “it came out alright”. Dude, I can’t find the integration lines... give yourself some more credit

[@MisterNathan]

Ben Lam thanks, but as a creator, you have an image in your head of how you'd like it to look. When the final product doesn't quite match that, it's a bit disappointing regardless of how well it actually turned out.

[@Slyd_Fox]

Perfectionism is quite the b!tch, isn't it? I, too, suffer it's effects.

[@toucannfroot9107]

Once you painted it, I couldn't even tell that it was a total integration! That is literally the best integration job I've ever seen in my life! It's so flush!

[@sjschauer4235]

I love this design so much. It reminded me a bit of my first pistol mod, which I plan to redo. Mine was a Nightfinder with a Reflect slide and a Maverick slide to cover the priming handle.

[@KatayounLam]

I have to say, this is probably in my top 3 favorite mods of all time now. Its so clean, its so pretty, the overall look of it is amazing. I desperately need one for myself now.

[@legozeke246]

My good sir you have inadvertently created a replica of “That Gun” from New Vegas or the pistol from bladerunner. I have endless respect for you

[@Max-je2dx]

bro I don't think you give yourself enough credit! You deserve so many more subscribers! I think I'm gonna try and make this now dude. Awesome mod, awesome video, fantastic channel :)

[@corporalbodhi387]

Pretty ok? Pretty ok?!?! That thing looks amazing! If you didn't show it before it was painted I would have had no idea what you used! You are amazing at what you do!

[@Paperguide152]

Beautiful even before paint, amazing after. Masterful work.

[@rexcristallospada6496]

This is absolutely beautiful

[@zeroblade6599]

Dang it man, quit selling yourself short. That pistol is beautiful. Not only that but it's a great motivator, most of us have a doublestrike or two lying around and to see it can be made into something like this really gets your hands itching to try it as well. Good stuff!

[@mattreameslifts]

This is so cool I love the project

[@burtonma07]

I love how hour videos are so calm and relaxing. Keep up the good work!

[@burtonma07]

Crap, just noticed a typo...... CURSE THESE FAT FINGERS AND TINY PHONE SCREEN! Lol, thabks for the heart!

[@homelee665]

Top notch work as always. I watched Zombona's video on this, and it is some beautiful work.

[@Matt-md5yt]

gotten home from a hard day's work and gotten to watch a cool blaster mod

[@maximumbob350]

That is absolutely stunning. I've been wanting to try my hand at integrations for a while now; something like this might be a good place to start.

[@MisterNathan]

Bob Baker I'll admit, it was deceptively tricky, but mainly because it was such an unfamiliar scale to work with. But would likely be great for a beginner!

[@maximumbob350]

It certainly looks a lot less intimidating than the centaur videos that I've been watching over the last few days...

[@MisterNathan]

Bob Baker lol, good point!

[@mattvonnerf3495]

That's a really nice looking mod, if I were in the "secret Santa" community, I'd be really proud to get one of your mods, you do some amazing builds and are really skilled. I hope to be as good as you one day. Great video and a beautiful job sir!

[@VelocityBlasters]

Absolutely fantastic work as usual!

[@PaulZello]

Do you do commissions

[@shadowsa2b]

For such a little thing, that is a beautiful looking build

[@illwill4202]

That was a really good Improvement bro it looks like a new zombie gun

[@BryanWasHere89]

I freaking love this mod. Working on my own Doublestrike, but it pales in comparison

[@richardpham9050]

This is perfection at its finest

[@Toycoma]

Amazing working. The grip looks great.

[@AndrewAitchison100]

That is one of the beautiful things ever!

[@TeoHarlan]

that. is. GORGEOUS!

[@unclesam2boogaloo2]

Looks like the bryar pistol from star wars dark forces. I could also picture Harrison ford's character in blade runner wielding something like this. Good job and keep up the good work.

[@BreakRebuildRepeat]

I love seeing an integration for a pistol. More pistols in the future please!

[@MisterNathan]

Matt Loomis it's on the list!

[@DevilZcall]

Hey, have you heard of the "Doublestrike wall of Awesomeness" project? It's a project by a fellow modder and collector of mine who is basically handing out Doublestrike so people mod them for him to display at conventions and digitally, To show off the variety of modding and what's possible. He currently has about 80 DS and more and more international modders are joining in too

[@MisterNathan]

DevilZcall yes, it's an impressive collection! I always like to see when he posts new additions and acquisitions. It's cool to see the myriad of ways a single blaster can be modified. While I'm not sure Zombona would want to part with the blaster itself, your friend is more than welcome to the images I've posted online, if he'd like

[@larsman2787]

Great job !! I just ordered a double strike in looking forward to modifying similarly but more of a cowboy six gun flare. Great video and mod work !!

[@sir_goofs9456]

Holy cow that’s awesome, great work as always

[@joeofdoom]

That thing is gorgeous.

[@jacobb6525]

I love it I want to make one that is chambered in mega somehow. Would definitely be a little more complex though

[@blastawayeu]

...this is one of those mods that make me wanna start working right away! ^^

[@MisterNathan]

blastaway.eu I know the feeling!

[@A_N1ne]

It kind of looks like Ronon Dex's gun from SG Atlantis, it's just missing the front bit

[@Boomtendo4tw]

Next time make the barrel longer so that the ribs and head of the dart touch the xploderz barrel. That will help keep the dart from sliding out so easy. I have done it this way to a Voidcaster. Works really good and the fit is fine. You just need a stronger spring cause the darts are heavier. It won’t shoot too good with a stock spring. With the upgraded spring I think the best you can do it get around 75fps which is still good for BOOMco. If you have any other projects you want to try with BOOMco stuff just let me know and I can help

[@MisterNathan]

Boom tendo thanks. I tried the longer barrel, but the ribs on most of my darts were ever so slightly larger than the head, and created an overly snug, but not "sealing" fit. Perhaps I just have some early darts or an inconsistent batch or something. I got a few of them to work, but not enough that I felt the blaster would fire reliably with other darts.

[@ajhoffman9259]

Might try this! But maybe make use of the nightfinders handle for leds, of course I will credit you :)

[@blackberet9997]

This is really cool!

[@notforsaletoday1895]

Beautiful.

[@Razer-tq5sh]

That’s looks so cool!

[@joshwalton2946]

Hi I want to copy this purely because it's such a lovely looking blaster how did you manage to cut and splice everything so brilliantly

[@JoltKing627]

I wish you had left in the little orange locking bits in the tactical rails. That kinda annoys me a little. (My ocd) Otherwise very clean and well done!

[@lauradarkez]

you could make a dieselpunk style thing out of that

[@veorangejuice733]

That looks badass

[@EDSKaR]

4:07 how to zoom in MrNathan style. Step 1. Zoom out. Step 2. Zoom in. That actually does look really cool and you've fixed the one issue I have with the doublestrike: I can't rven hold it with that grip. The Maverick is one of nerfs better grips.

[@MisterNathan]

ED-SKaR (grumble) cursed zoom... The Nitefinder handle fits pretty darn great, but kinda screws with the aesthetic "balance" of the blaster. Definitely needs the muzzle extension as well. Speaking of Mavericks... I've been meaning to size up a Maverick grip to a Hammershot, but just haven't had the two on the bench together yet (foreshadowing?).

[@EDSKaR]

perfect grip for me requires you to kill a vortex gun. Either that or a toy gun with real firearm proportions(1911 or SA80 for my hand is perfect because I've trained with them so much). I've actually had a thought about booomco straw flavoured darts, I used 7 slash whatever imperial nonsense fits the boomco straw the best (the same stuff you have in this vid) And I cut it with a pipe cutter, I then flared out one end with either a dremel and a sanding stone OR a hammer and a eyelet punch (I've now lost my 10mm eyelet punch so I can't do that anymore). If you do it bit by bit and test fit a dartstraw into it then you can very easily get a good fit on the front of the strawdart. Also 4:45 that is the sound of you loosing screws, that is an all to familiar sound.

[@MisterNathan]

ED-SKaR the jokes on you this time. That soind was just my furnace starting (Although I had to watch that little bit a couple times to figure it out). And yes, vortex Jason some nice grips. The white ones, anyways. Cutting out a Revonix grip for a special future project that I'm super excited for (but might not get to until like next year).

[@TylerSnyder305]

Pretty awesome, though I might have went with a nerf element grip over a night finder grip. I also would've went with a more vertical grip angle Overall it looks great though, I'm not a fan of red but you did paint it in all the right areas for sure.

[@MisterNathan]

Tyler Snyder Still haven't been able to scare up an Element yet, but I do like the looks of it, and the extra sweep on the grip was intentional. I actually wouldn't have minded a little more, but was bound by the constraints of the internal mechanism.

[@ursa_major9471]

God that thing is beautiful I need one..or two

[@orbit9237]

I love this already

[@mattmccoy1014]

"It came out alright" GIVE YOURSELF MORE CREDIT. The integration lines are nonexistent. I looked at the thumbnail and thought "what is that? Not "what did he make" until I saw it unpainted I thought it was an out of the box blaster. Fantastic job

[@MisterNathan]

Matt McCoy Thanks a bunch! But like I mentioned in a previous comment, I really "felt" the time crunch, and had to cut a few corners to make the deadline. While the blaster did turn out well, I know how much better it could've been, had I been able to have another couple days to work on it. Another instance where the creator can see every flaw and shortcoming. But yes, I'm very pleased overall with how it came out.

[@jenerf8615]

Very impressive mr Nathan. 👍

[@infernomaster6067]

that plaster looks like is out of hellboy

[@Sgoobrmeht]

I have never wanted anything more. Ever think about crafting a nerf version of the Blade Runner pistol? I feel like you’re already most of the way there.

[@MisterNathan]

Sgoobrmeht that's what I've heard, though I've never seen the movie. However, this was a fun little build, and I hope to do more of this kind of "mini-gration" in the future.

[@Sgoobrmeht]

Mister Nathan If you are interested, look up Adam Savage on KZbin. He’s obsessed with that pistol. And you’ll get a better look at it from him than the movie.

[@OCNerf]

Inspiring as always!

[@Mizzinno]

That is clean and I need two

[@blackwolftucker2890]

I want to build the handle part now lol

[@icepl831]

It looks so cool i want it

[@gavinlawrence5460]

Did anyone else think this looked liked a mixture between the wingman and the mozambique?

[@zagnerok]

One of the kind secondary ggwp

[@Nintenja889]

I love this thing.

[@mrrw0lf]

Oh man thats awesome how much would be one for me?

[@ZainMalik-ce1ic]

How much would you charge for two of these the exact same ones And ship them to London EnglandEngland

[@assuredbag822]

I clicked on this just seeing the thumbnail cause I thought it was a review!

[@MisterNathan]

AssuredBag822 lol, thanks! That's the reaction I hope for with my builds!

[@GodsPoetryProductions]

Wow clean

[@ElBadger224]

If put that at walmart i would call it. The combo

[@MegaNumberXIII]

Dude, why do you have to make so many blasters that I want? XD

[@VampxDemon]

I forgot how to pm on here but if i sent you the blasters needed qould you be willing to make one of these for me? or walk mew through it?

[@Leo-nl4yr]

pretty okay?!?!?!? you should be designing for nerf dude

[@matthewhuffman425]

I'd buy one.

[@ZombonaMachine]

Ah the memories. This blaster is in Germany now.

[@PirateJohnson]

Love it.

[@thecheddaravenger4084]

This video made a subscriber out of me.

[@MisterNathan]

AnonymousTwenty Excellent, welcome aboard! Stick around, because there's some pretty darn cool stuff on the horizon! Thanks

[@danarthur297]

Do you take commissions? If so, how much would an almost exact copy of this amazing piece of work cost?

[@capriphan8773]

it looks like it shouldave been the real product from nerf

[@rzrider683]

I love that color scheme, what paints did you use?

[@MisterNathan]

RZ Rider Duplicolor vynil/fabric. Its what I had, and what I was familiar with (and fit in my time frame).

[@lilacocto9103]

is it bad that i mistook this for a Video by Captain Xavier??

[@skylerholden1099]

So, what kind of putty do you use? The reason I ask is because I’m going to improve the stock on a buzzbeetoys waking dead rifle, and the most reasonable way to go is putty

[@MisterNathan]

I use Devcon Plastic Welder (MMA) for actual bonding, but if I need to blend even more, I use Apoxie Sculpt (non structural)

[@germ4bass]

Why can't Nerf make a gun like that it looks so cool .

[@grnhel8663]

Nice

[@blockprime3006]

my brother want's one so I've got to try and make it

[@chatotalks5325]

how much money do I have to shove at you to make me something this beautiful?!?

[@tylertucker6550]

Call it megastrike

[@andrewlee7755]

Ever considered commissions?

[@MisterNathan]

Andrew Lee Working on a couple at the moment.

[@БелыйРакши]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@Captain4230-d8m]

What did you use to bond the prices together?

[@MisterNathan]

Devcon Plastic Welder, a methylmethacrylate (MMA) adhesive.

[@shelbykingnfs7216]

I thought nerf made this thing!!!

[@scottbruckner4653]

What is this.

[@brickunleasher7631]

Would have been even better if it was break action

[@comradekoala1245]

Soooooo cool

[@darkforces4240]

can i have it

[@bradetre8281]

[@beg_birb3866]
