The best injection-molded springer, now in a smaller package! | Worker Seagull blaster REVIEW

Worker has had a crazy good last few years, with each bird-themed release getting better and better. The Worker Harrier is easily one of the most popular -- if not the most popular springer we sell right now, and the Seagull is simply a smaller, improved Harrier.
I have to say that Worker hit it out of the park with their CQB-friendly version of their best-in-class springer. Much like the seagulls in real life, I expect we'll see a lot of these blasters out in the field. French-fry-stealing capabilities are still to be determined, but let's check out the Worker Seagull!

God, I REALLY want one of these. I just wish they made a full-length-only version; while I love the look of half-length mags, my primary use case (messing around with my coworkers in our very cluttered office) means I have to use full-lengths if I ever want to find them after a battle.

[@Semicolon7645]

Looks awesome. I have two questions: Is there any chance these will come in orange? And does the Worker Angled Foregrip work on the blaster? It looks like it might be a little tight when priming. This might replace my Nexus Pro for our club games, which are 150fps cap.

[@COMET_C01]

I’ve haven’t heard anything about a orange Seagull yet and least there are no listings of it.

[@sugomalainen]

Not including picatinny rails after preorders doesn't make any sense tho? Or am I confusing something?

[@Foam0Fett]

Still baffled by the lack of jam door tbh…actually glad it doesn’t have slamfire if for no other reason than that sets it apart from the Unicorn and the Trion (which I would consider to be the other blasters in its class).

[@Thesnakerox]

I can already see the Seagull/Harrier, Phoenix 2, and Nightingale together being a formidable loadout!

[@lanoche]

The only thing I hate is that it shows a Bscar in the box and only gives the basic one. I wished they gave a Bscar as part of the pre-order. I can live without the iron sights. I'm replacing those iron sights with dots anyways.

I would so love for Worker to make a hammer-prime revolver akin to Outlaw or Hammershot

Is there any chance for an in-house or recommendation for a low power spring? I'm trying to hit the roughly 130fps range for the events I go to so I'll take any offer or advice I can get.

[@outofdarts]

We're still testing options. However, we have already gotten it down to the 120s with an OOD low-power spring and a BCAR we had lying around. You can find the low-power spring on our site here: outofdarts.com/products/ood-harrier-low-power-spring

[@stairway211]

I like it

[@brokin_official]

hey sir, do you have any darts?

[@Jedimjr25]

What’s Harrier fps when you use the shortest Seagull barrel? Downtuning A Harrier to 150 fps would be great. You could sell the short barres on your shop.

[@outofdarts]

The issue with the 210mm barrel is that it requires you to take the Harrier apart to install and uninstall it because it's too short to be accessible from the front of the blaster. Nevertheless, we will test that and other spring and barrel combos shortly.

[@shadysjin]

Any chance the Harrier will be available in that purple color in the future? It looks awesome!

[@outofdarts]

We have no knowledge of that happening... yet. 🤞

[@thelovingrockerboy7811]

Question, is the same muzzle that allows you to attach WORKER suppressors compatible with this blaster? (And the Harrier, by proxy)

[@outofdarts]

Most SCARs, PCARs, BCARs, or cosmetic barrel attachments designed to fit around a 16mm OD barrel should fit this blaster. However, some rifling attachments have a collet that make it more difficult to attach to the shortest (210mm) barrel.

[@zeroblade6599]

I have a feeling there's a fire rat type pistol coming up next in this line and I'm all for it

[@virtuosoabyss1217]

Just a slight suggestion, but if you are going to do a dart ranking list, i would highly suggest the RUUD darts(orange foam, grey tip). A lot rarer than the worker HEs but def worth a look. Rly nice and stiff foam (stiffer than the worker HEs by quite a but) and rly strong glue. Thanks to the stiffness it performs better than worker HEs in flywheels and more consistent in springers.

[@outofdarts]

Thanks for the tip! We'll take a look and see if we can get them in time for our video!

[@davidpyo3455]

Not my findings really. For some reason mine tend to have a much wider spread when shot thru my blasters than worker or dz darts.

[@virtuosoabyss1217]

@@davidpyo3455Oh? I’m not 100% sure about accuracy but it definitely shot more consistent for me.

The darts that come with the HC Diana are you talking about?

[@Sillybutts]

Neat

[@oriole21bird]

When you mention using the "OOD high powered spring" to get the Seagull into the 220 fps range, do you mean the OOD high powered harrier spring or the OOD high powered nexus/max stryker spring?

[@outofdarts]

The OOD High-Power Spring for the Harrier is the one we used in testing. The Nexus springs are the right diameter, but are too short and get stuck in the rear of the blaster too easily; we would not recommend any of the nexus springs for the Seagull.

[@RocZi]

4:47 Would you use an angled foregrip? if yes, why, if no, why not?

[@outofdarts]

Depends on the angle. But overall, I like the XYL Unicorn foregrip on the Seagull. It gives plenty of space that you don't hit your palm on the magwell, while giving a more comfortable angle than the included vertical foregrip.

We've been able to get it down to 120 FPS with a hand-cut spring and a 15-degree BCAR. However, more testing is needed before we sell hand-cut springs or order a new spring of the correct length.

[@yuvanshhariramani9685]

PERRY THE CAT!

[@Aurich451]

Even with an orange tip the white or khaki versions feel very unsafe to carry in any remotely public location in the US. The profile just screams real steel, even in the pastels, which are a bit muted. I do wish Worker (and other companies) would move a little further from that aesthetic that has become so trendy. Not exactly in the same class, but I'd prefer a more sci-fi-ish profile of something like the QWK Challenger Mk3. Or even their own Nightingale, a few more fanciful angles to break up that very military-of-the-moment outline. Transparent purple mags would help! Hint hint

We'll be offering curved 15-rounders in five other colors soon!

[@thgernielsen6113]

do you guys ship to denmark?

[@outofdarts]

We do ship some items internationally. However, we are unable to ship LiPo batteries or any fully-assembled blasters due to customs and carrier policy restrictions. If you are looking for a retailer of the Worker Seagull, there are more local options to you that might have less restrictions.

@@COMET_C01 don't mind the design of either, would like to be around 200 to 250 fps, mostly outdoor, more concerned with which seems to have better build quality and consistency

[@COMET_C01]

@@jro1213 I see. Well personally I haven’t held the Seagull yet, I’ve only ever seen the Lynx once in a nerf game. So I don’t think I’m really qualified to say which is better. The closet thing I have to the seagull is the Harrier and it’s quality is pretty good. It does not flex and gives me complete assurance when using it, I also put a bunch of stuff on the Harrier and it is still capable of working well with them. I put an replica Eotech and magnifier, replica magpul Mbus sights, replica Steiner Dbal A2, Cloud defensive Rein 2.0 and Ferro sling and it still holds up well despite the extra mass. So my moneys on the Seagull though you should consult with someone else who knows more about the Orion.
