The Drop-Cylinder Strong-arm (Done "Right") - A New Twist on an Old favorite

[@TheLaner0222]

This should be the standard for this mod Amazing !!!

[@MisterNathan]

6:20 please don't leave comments in the description. That just makes things unnecessarily confusing...

[@TEKASHI-de1qt]

Would love to see an internal view of this one. Please come back Mr Nathan!

[@nerformancemods5900]

CAn't believe no one's done this before you. Talk about walking into a face palm. I'll probably never buy a Strongarm, maybe thrift one, but still... very nice. Love me some spring assisted ejection.

[@homelee665]

Great twist on a classic mod! I have never done one of these, but I need to now.

[@shiikon2193]

I had three strong arms and I threw them all away because I broke them installing a 7kg spring. This was back when I was first getting into modding. Man I regret throwing them out now...

[@nukulardragon3891]

Just started getting into moding and now in gonna do this when i get back home because that is really damn cool

[@rednecktractors10]

I need to get some strongarms and do this, I love the strongarm as a secondary and this will make it even better

[@Aldoss]

Simple and effective. Love it.

[@bz4701]

This is one of my favorite mods and videos!

[@mrkitloin]

I made a drop cylinder mod and gotta admit, the spring ejection would have been damn useful, I went the classic route of glueing in the piece that holds the cylinder so you gotta put it in at a weird angle or just be a little rough with it to get it to cooperate

[@TEKASHI-de1qt]

Mr Nathan PLEASE can you revisit this mod in more detail? I'm trying it for myself and can't work out the spring placement

[@brucereed2405]

This looks so nice

[@sir_goofs9456]

YAYAY NEW UPLOAD and the strong arm mod YES THERE A GOD All joking aside thank you for the wonderful video have a great day

clever!!! this is what modding really is.

[@birby2120]

hey mister nathan, im planning on doing the drop clip mod to the alphahawk, and make a mold for the clip, so i can make as many as i want

[@arkaovos7177]

simple yet genius!

[@JamieTenikoff]

Yes! New Mr Nathan upload ;)

[@icepack7336]

5:06 i still dont understand how you put the spring in

[@orbit9237]

Maybe it’s in the bottom

[@orbit9237]

Just a bit angled

[@lauradarkez]

how did you get the spring to stay where it is?

[@camtubecamtube]

It’s like a destiny hand cannon

[@salemj1371]

CheezyCheese I was just thinking that

[@TungstenEXE]

Awesome!

[@haskellisme7406]

howd u get the spring in

[@utisti4976]

As a Hammershot fan, I really REALLY want a Strongarm now. I have a Disruptor too, but any mod you could do to that gun doesn’t compare to this. XD

[@orbit9237]

I think you can do drop barrel on a hammer shot

[@srloins6613]

@@orbit9237 You are correct. Project Nerf did a video about it. Although it is more complicated than this one. He used magnets and epoxy putty. At the end it looked even cleaner than the stock Hammershot, though.

Hi mister Nathan!

[@oli_bacon_undertale]

my question is how would i get a second 6 dart drum without buying another strongarm?

[@MisterNathan]

@oli_bacon_undertale unfortunately, there is no other way I am aware of. But around here you can thrift a Strongarm for

[@BraindeadPoet]

I'm guessing that "small spring" was your own addition? If so, what're we looking at to slap in?

[@ogresound203]

BraindeadPoet well, since it doesnt need to be a STRONG spring, a discarded trigger spring would probably do

[@fishonstix]

Would you be willing to do a mini mod guide is possible? Also nice video!

[@rhianoshanassy4513]

How did u cut down the cylinder holder mate?

[@frogsareop5623]

Dremel with a cutting wheel works wonders. A hacksaw could do it slower and less accurate.

[@woah8932]

Doing this asap

[@Fireheart318]

I’m a lefty. Is it possible to make the cylinder exit to the right instead of the left?

[@MisterNathan]

I reckon it could be possible, but would likely be a pain in the neck to accomplish. I did that mod on one of my first Mavericks, as seen in that overview video.

[@MagicSphere16]

Can you make a video how did you do it?

[@gieselratches4502]

Can you do this with the nerf accustrike alphahawk?

[@Ethan556.]

How do you do it?

[@thesimplerooster]

Bit of an odd question but do you know if doominator cylinders will work for the strongarm

[@MisterNathan]

Yes, they kinda work. Technically functional. But the center locking pin isn't long enough to engage the front cylinder support, so the front of the cylinder assy doesn't lock into place, affecting reliability.

[@thesimplerooster]

@@MisterNathan do you think super gluing some plastic tube to the front rod would fix the problem

[@MisterNathan]

@@thesimplerooster possibly, although I fear it would simply be a weak point and potentially cause more problems than it solves. Worth looking into, if you have the materials available.

[@legoyeeter6659]

You know why I didn’t do this because I don’t have the identical silender just laying around

[@frogsareop5623]

I tried to re-create this and it's not working. The cylinder turning mech is pushing up on my rear grey piece, rather than the grey piece keeping it pressed. This makes it so that I still have to press the button to get the cylinder back in. How is your grey piece keeping the turning mech pressed in or sliding smoothly over it? Additionally, how did you get the ejection spring in there?

[@MisterNathan]

The gray piece may be flexing out of the way, and may need to be reinforced.

[@frogsareop5623]

@@MisterNathan the grey piece isn't flexing, it's just that there's enough space in the slot where the grey goes into the shell that it wiggles. Because of that space it doesn't properly ramp the turning mech. I think I need a shim of some sort, should I try some hot glue on the slot to eliminate the space?

[@MisterNathan]

@@frogsareop5623 you might try something "non-permanent" like that first. If it fixes the issue, you can always come back and replace it with a more appropriate material later .

[@frogsareop5623]

@@MisterNathan what would you recommend as a non-permanent material? I initially thought hot glue because I can sand it down to size and re-heat or cut it it to get it off if needed.

[@MisterNathan]

@@frogsareop5623 hot glue sounds good enough for the occasion

[@Nisel-v1x]

YES

[@KAMISEYE]

Why not mod that gun with a hammer shot so using the hammer shots trigger but the gun barrels internals of the strong arm

[@breadboi4254]

Internals please?

[@LMvdB02]

Crap, I glued it stuck

[@PhoutianPhill]

Any way you could mod it to prime like a hammershot? This would be the best for one hand operation, but rearload and cylinder pop out to feel like a true revolver.

[@sonikkukarafuto3424]

Cool :D

[@faketitonplay8181]

you destroyed my gun as i was trying to do the front bit thinking you to chop of the front turny bit NO your ment to chop behind it >:( now i have no gun
