[@baker90338]

What might be interesting is modifying it to have a scope inside the shell using periscope tech to make the it have a bore height near the Barrel.

[@MisterNathan]

Can't wait until these start landing in stores, stateside. I've got a few ideas...

[@pootisbird5212]

Buy them online from Australia?

[@botsndarts1852]

Same here VAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

[@grahamturner2640]

It’s a shame it doesn’t take Centurion magazines.

[@notforsaletoday1895]

Graham Turner If only.....

[@teaze1642]

Honestly, now we have to deal with one lonely mega clip.

[@jaxon8028]

I doubt it will the centurian came out 5 years ago and it was the only gun that uses it

[@shadowsa2b]

To be fair, it would almost halve its capacity to do that -- unless you count the magazine from the buzzbee tyrant

[@JohnSchneider-SocksofGranduer]

No it's not. I prefer my darts unshredded thanks lol

[@bernie604]

just waiting for a coop772 review

[@thiccoon]

Raposa Games It’s a bigshock reskin

[@RoryStarr]

For those who remember, like yourself, that nerf is about fun and aesthetics as much as it is about performance, this is cool.

[@mako2708]

Actually, the 'Magazine Bar' is a clip. (Nerf got a clip for once)

[@joshua5483]

Hasbro: Hey guys! Lets mix our two most hated blasters, the Centurion and the battlescout into one POS to get more suckers to drop dough

[@MakeTestBattle]

Actually the internal are more like the Rotofury. -Justin

[@grahamturner2640]

Joshua Greig there’s also the Deploy because of the extendable barrel.

[@similin4330]

They took the worst blasters good parts: Deploy - Fold our Centurion - Looks Battlescout - Clips Then they put all those bits together and gave it the power of MEGA and made it good and this came out

[@cw8612]

Joshua Greig hey man battle scout camo was a perfectly fine blaster the old one was crap

[@similin4330]

Paul Martin Yes but it was a new gimmick that a lot of people liked

[@homelee665]

This was fun to watch you enjoy the blaster for all of its silliness.

[@MakeTestBattle]

Thanks mang.

[@thatoneguy2274]

heres an interesting thought: make the barrel extention and bipod springloaded. so the entire thing opens with a single switch. also modify the clip to shoot regular darts and ofc standard spring increase n stuff.

[@jehberdyer9238]

I feel like making a dirty joke about the expanding barrel but I knew this comment section would be flooded with them..... The boys down at thunderdome I’m looking at you

[@notforsaletoday1895]

Blaster Forge I was tempted to....

[@1981troyboy]

it's not even a barrel, it's just a big gaping hole. the barrel ends half way down then gun. then you just have a big ugly hole

[@Thatonecyborg]

can be treated as a AMR [Anti material rifle]

[@hangmanindustrial5262]

Loading the clip was basically nerf ASMR to be honest.

[@grahamturner2640]

They’re Accustrike darts. Only the ones from NFStrike are fakes.

[@westuman8592]

eight I was getting annoyed with him saying there fake Accustrike

[@redlegobrick5205]

Graham Turner he knows, he is just saying that cause its fun

[@Pierre845]

God I love your editing!

[@arkritas]

Nice centuion battlescout deploy :)

[@newchangeunlisted_viewer5594]

It looks cool

[@killerjake6186]

good video

[@ChoboUnjeon]

Australia has the gray trigger versions too!

[@ollilehtonen6351]

That front piece would make a nice barrel shroud for a custom Rayven build

[@cindi9935]

Looks cool tho

[@FredPilarczyk]

That was the sexiest dart insertion ever.

[@FredPilarczyk]

That's true.

[@zeroblade6599]

So do you have a printer wide enough to print those clips? Or do we just print 5-shot clips and stick em together

[@jamesjordan318]

I'm planning on doing a shotgun using mega darts with 3/4 brass tube, however the air tank only can fit 9/16, so what brass tube(s) could I keep pressure fitting to get the air to flow correctly and get it down to 9/16 brass?

[@arkadyrex5305]

It looks cool. I can't wait to see the US version's performance.

[@joshuayun7159]

Oh yeah, I didn't realise that the gun has a gray trigger.

[@FoamfromaboveBlogspot]

After watching this, I don't think you all will be too happy. It seems comparable based on the reactions in the video (just eyeballing I am getting maybe 30' flat and 40' angled off the orange trigger American version.) And hi! Thought I would pop in to see how the performance here matched up from mine.

[@alexzamudio7702]

I need to get this

[@Mephiston]

Wow, the blaster is longer than its dart firing range. Also, sucks to be left handed, I guess.

[@SWAZILAND17]

Lol amazing man how u put those bullets and your facial expression

[@waternerd4113]

Finally another clip fed blaster

[@blakemaddux607]

Do you know when the thunder hawk is going to come to the CA

[@Tangalang22]

Because it's an internal clip, you know what would be cool? DIY loading strips for tactics with this gun. You can tactically slap the strip in place, rip off the strip, then slam the clip back the other way.

[@MakeTestBattle]

Nah, it's easy to remove the lock to remove the mag. -Justin

[@Tangalang22]

Make.Test.Battle but then you don't have to buy more clips

[@esparzafamily3467]

That magazine bar is called aclip

[@orcatwar9810]

the darts keep hitting the barrel shroud so i think to add a extended barrel to it to avoid darts hitting the shroud

[@willieslife68]

I’m going to single it out and double up the springs

[@connortremeer1966]

Australian specs means lowered power and i feel bad for them. Nerfed nerf

[@connortremeer1966]

Jameson Dymond i never said nerf hurts... What are you talkin about?

[@DoitForTheLolz1]

I wonder if people would like this blaster at all if it weren't for the centurion failing so hard. xD At least they fixed all the mistakes of the centurion with this. Horizontal clip so you can go prone for days, Long barrel only for looks and doesn't affect performance, short prime for quick shooting, and higher capacity than the centurion right out of the box makes this probably the best sniper in nerf right now. Can't wait to see what kind of FPS can be done with rebarreling the clip for smaller ammo.

[@cjthaboss]

make it shoot the elite darts for more power and upgrade the spring and remove the air restrictor too pls?

[@A1dan_12]

Is this your new primary?

[@ZachRegoreo]

Like a biggest Heap with the centuries is a fact that the barrel when you put it on it was permanent the draw length which is fun but not practical and capacity this gun seems to improve on all of that

[@1981troyboy]

whats the point of the extended part? it's just a big gaping hole. it's not a barrel extension

[@birdstempakj534]

That a big boy ya got there

[@elizabethmones594]

How bout the other big boys like the mastodon or the rival nemesis or the Prometheus?

[@CNT12345]

Mega centurion?

[@thiccoon]

I somehow see you in every comments section or it might just be the avatar.

[@birdstempakj534]

Riley Mazur huh, I never really get upvoted to much, wonder why, and no one else would probably have my avatar

[@corybob1526]

looks like it be turned into a pretty cool soldier 76 gun

[@no.1valkmainAL_oce]

Did u get this from big w?

[@redenginner]

Good lord it's just a giant bolt action battlescout.

[@bigchooch4434]

Demo_the _man worse in every way and twice as expensive.

[@pootisbird5212]

I think I’m good with my bolt action retaliator

[@barrymcbruce]

Love everything except the silly magazine bar thing.. Looks like it gets stuck every round.

[@brandinepicgamer5085]

3:00 mmmmm nerf loading asmr 😂

[@esparzafamily3467]

That magazine bar is called ac lip

[@nate6889]

coop would so hate saying this, but, its a CLIP, not a mag.

[@Abethelifter]

Finally

[@ElysiumCity]

In development it's working project title was "Nerf MEGA Sexjoke"

[@thiccoon]

I just had to share this. Turn on subtitles at 1:18

[@fredmcgrady90]

It looks like the railgun from halo 4

[@mgflip3123]

Hi

[@sir_goofs9456]

Sooo wait, does a cat run a channel now? Did Justine possess a cat? Is the cat the weapon to surpass metal gear? Question need to be answered

[@scottbruckner4653]

If I had one I'd put screws in the A's on both sides.

[@mattvonnerf3495]

I actually like it and I hate the Centurion with a passion, can't wait to see the internals!

[@joeofdoom]

I fully expect the first mod anyone is going to want to do is to make that clip removable because it is going to be impossible to store with it just sticking out the side all the time.

[@vukvucinic3685]

Its a clip a magazine has a nerf dart spring enternal

[@MakeTestBattle]

Do you call a revolver cylinder a clip? -Justin

[@iceybobster]

I miss funny goofy videos like this

[@shadowsa2b]

As cool and unique as this is among Mega blasters (and especially accustrike), the only things this does that the Twinshock doesnt is expand ("its growing on me"), and fire from a magazine clip. But for the same capacity, practically speaking, id still lean towards the Twinshock.

[@masterklaw4527]

actually that's not a magazine. that's a clip because it holds darts and the mechanism for feeding the darts into the blaster are in the blaster itself. In a magazine it holds darts and contains the mechanism for feeding them into the blaster

[@MakeTestBattle]

Nope. Already covered this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHm5ZIKknNOYna8 When peeps starting commenting this a year and a half ago on our Buzz Bee Destiny videos I actually researched, not just repeated whatever Drac or Coop said. The bar actually interacts with the mechanism to advance to the next chamber/barrel. Like a revolver cylinder in a straight line.

[@masterklaw4527]

but there are no moving parts in the clip (unlike a magazine) and it's removable (unlike a cylinder)

[@MakeTestBattle]

There is a moving part, the whole bar. Cylinders are removable in some revolvers, so no. They both have variations on gear teeth that interact with the action. The definition of a clip is a device to load a magazine or cylinders. Like moon clips. Did you even watch the video I linked? Ian from Forgotten Weapons is a gun historian and evaluator, it's his job to know this shit.

[@juanyang4997]

I saw this gun in one of the stores in a shopping center in my city, I told my mum: “hey mum I saw a Nerf gun anddddd.... I want it, can you please buy it for me for Christmas?” And she say: ...........Mmmmmmm Not today but I’m going to think it.

[@fleym1145]

Mega Accustrike???

[@cheeky_casual]

Looks like a bigass chaingun

[@ranjanapandey7532]

Wow

[@stefanoalborghetti6363]

I like very too

[@TofuRabbit]

It does look really neat aesthetically, but man that performance is just awful. I don't think any sane person would spend over 50 bucks for something that bad and use it stock.

[@Polymath2B]

No, but people will use it's stock and barrel for integrations and what not.....

[@hangmanindustrial5262]

It is the AUS version that can't go over like 50 fps.

[@similin4330]

That is the Australian version, all the Australian blasters (with grey triggers) are a lot less powerful than o𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 triggered ones so it’s power is normal for Being Grey triggered

[@JK-gv4xf]

And the stupid tactical rail!! Wtf Hasbro

[@chulhohong9357]

WOAH

[@dominicthedominator5344]

you pull on it and its barrel grows ;D

[@matthewgoldman5814]

Maybe mod this nerf gun??

[@Yayface0]

There's a link... yes! Sees May not post to United States

[@dumb445]

That's a right proper excuse for an HPA mod😉

[@dhancenton609]

I can see a Stryfe with a UMP kit, a Crimson Longshot and a Thermal Hunter with a raider stock...... Just a comment...

[@blackhood4156]

looks like the BFG from doom

[@puglug5286]

When its closed it looks kinda like soldier 76's gun.

[@radioactivesdesigns3554]

Oh wow, your things so fucking big, i cant believe it fit in such a small package

[@5hadowgam3r43]

It's so big

[@_Cheko_]

Thats what she said

[@5hadowgam3r43]

Yeah your mom

[@kyles.8225]

I want it just so I can make a massive futuristic looking laser cannon

[@MakeTestBattle]

Thanks for watching guys. I you still enjoyed me unboxing this by myself, practicing my presentation and lighting. We'll dig around inside the blaster tomorrow. They are listed on Australian Ebay: goo.gl/rdFHvy (Affiliate link)

[@mighty298bee]

Could be a prop for a DOOM cosplay

[@Alex-eb3cb]

it reminds me pamking from agame ga kill

[@prima2153]

Imagine how much that hurts

[@Ollymelonhead_1]

Its a clip not a magazine

[@Joshua-by2gw]

Lol todays my bday and i got the regulator

[@thesilliestgoose5990]

Kinda reminds me of a Railgun from Halo 5

[@Mutt_Buncher4]

the one time you say magazine but it isnt actually a magazine

[@Mutt_Buncher4]

clips are when the whole thing moves, a magazine moves the darts to one place

[@MakeTestBattle]

Nope. Already covered this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHm5ZIKknNOYna8 When peeps starting commenting this a year and a half ago on our Buzz Bee Destiny videos I actually researched, not just repeated whatever Drac or Coop said.

[@kiwivolante2650]

longer the barrel longer the accuracy

[@Blazedragonlord]

I am getting yoko litner vibes from this gun

[@frailty1288]

did he just say 'magazine bar' instead of clip

[@TheBuffaloPaladin]

Ughhhhhh why nerf did you give it a clip instead of detachable magazines

[@toxiccvoils5668]

Hey

[@jaunetheboi7300]

well it is in Australia so the performance is lowered

[@jaunetheboi7300]

then after they started doing that

[@reneebear3641]

When your centurion isn't impractical, bulky, or accurate enough already.

[@reneebear3641]

When you want to WH40K roleplay with the lasgun but mom said you can't make your own gun.

[@belstone1370]

Aesthetically, it's a beautiful design that conveys power, but the stock spring is next to useless. I get that the extending barrel is a nice look but it -is- useless. It has absolutely no practical function and I would really like to know how the design team pitched the extending barrel to management to get it approved. Maybe if it actually extended a barrel shroud that trapped air behind the bullet but even then, there would likely be serious speed loss due to friction. They could have left off the extend-o-barrel completely. Then lose the bi-pod legs and slant the black trim along the bottom upward into a textured forward grip with an attachment rail for those who want to use a N-Stike vertical grip instead. Still, the Thunderhawk feels nice to hold and shoot... after some modifications: - Take the out the center and left spring locks that prevent the clip from sliding completely out. Leave the right-most lock in place so the clip can be inserted from either side but only removed from the right. Why are these damn locks even here? How are you supposed to store this thing when it has the clip perpetually protruding from one side or the other? - Either stretch out the stock spring or, from what I've seen, replace it with a shortened Worker 10-12kg Retaliator spring (mine is currently being shipped so I haven't been able to try it yet myself). -Take out or bore a decent-sized hole in the air-restricter and put padding on the front of the plunger . - Place felt or foam-rubber padding on the inner side of both priming handles to keep them from rattling around.

[@jamescurnow9934]

Nerf. What are you doing?

[@liamhayes23]

I don’t like blasters with clips. They are so weird on the blaster

[@aerovexa8794]

That’s a clip. :P

[@artemisknightprotectorofth8956]

dread shot confirmed

[@A1dan_12]

Mmmm, I see a crimson LS

[@PR-bu5pk]

It's called a clip not a magazine bar

[@MakeTestBattle]

Nope. Already covered this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHm5ZIKknNOYna8 When peeps starting commenting this a year and a half ago on our Buzz Bee Destiny video I actually researched, not just repeated whatever Drac or Coop said.
