25 Vintage, Awesome, or RARE NERF Blasters! TAG BACK - THE MOVIE

[@WalcomS7]

Well that's a thing.

[@luisgiron.5953]

Hi

[@osmacar5331]

Indeed

[@blakecore1991]

Cool video

[@billybob5161]

i already watched all these videos, one every day for the past month. somehow I'm already an hour in and still going sooo... well done I guess

[@alaeriia01]

The CommLink II gives me an idea for running a proper walkie-talkie setup in a war with earpieces.

[@Primal2229]

The Vulcan really is something special even after all these years, for me its actually what got me back into nerf around 2012. It was a hell of a surprise given the last Nerf blasters I owned were a big bad bow and a razor fin.

[@didalley379]

I have three

[@okey7261]

I found a clear 1 on OfferUp for $5 and it is very fun despite the poopy performance

[@CasuaICole]

@@okey7261 lucky, I got a sonic series one with everything but the tripod for 50 bucks on e-bay. I absolutely do not regret this purchase at all, because of how much of a relic it is.

[@08NightBat]

@Okey I got mine at a garage sale like 7 years ago

[@jons9239]

Same here! I had no nerf guns and randomly saw it in the store and bought it because it was too badass.

[@r3turnfyre426]

Bro, MAD respect for mentioning Kid Icarus Uprising. Total hidden gem

[@axylsorax]

There was an idea. To bring together a group of (less than) remarkable blasters. To see if they could become something more. To see if they could work together when we needed them to fight the Nerf battles that we never could. I’m WalcomS7, founder of Fuzzy Walrus Industries. I’m here to introduce you to the TAG BACK initiative.

[@TG-om1ue]

It would include the titan, stampede, vulcan, jolt and some really old blaster xD

[@meltyonk5809]

​@@TG-om1uethe jolt?? That thing can randomly shoot rival ranges

[@CasuaICole]

Oopee notes: ✅- Water ✅- Someone else's initials ✅- Hole ❌- N-Strike barrel lug

[@matthewmatthew981]

✔- Beer.

[@zachkostechka3673]

This is an achievement, man. I hope this doesn't scare people off with the length, it is absolutely worth your time.

[@theninjanolan8160]

That’s what she said

[@zim1513]

That's what she said

[@SteveTheSuperSanchez]

I watched this whole video over the course of 2 days. And honestly dude, we need another tag back comp in 2024. I just found your videos like 3 weeks ago and have been cycling through. I'm not super into nerf, but I am into Star Wars and I didn't know there were so many Star Wars Nerf Blasters. I've collected a few so far over the last month or so to use in actual wars in the back yard with my wife and I even modified like 5 of them so far. I even lucked out and got a Nerf branded Foam blade builders light saber for free!! Love all the new and old content. Thanks Walcom. You, Coop, the Captain, Dr. Flux and even Luke have all made this hobby what it is today it seems along with the community. Hope you have a great holiday!

[@homelee665]

Well, this keeps me from digging through Netflix to find something to watch tonight. I hope the engagement on this video is good, and the algorithm behaves. Much love, boss!

[@76hotrodF250]

Growing up in the 90s I had the Nerf Razorbeast and it was my favorite blaster back then, discovering the Vulcan as an adult in the 00s brought me into modern Nerf blasters, and at nearly 40 I still enjoy the heck out of them, especially when I cannot go plink real steel like I use to. Thank you Walcom for a very memorable tag back movie!

[@BoardGamesBricksHobbies]

I laughed way more at the "Oopee" segment than I probably should have, well done! 👏

[@BKFS-ls9by]

I lost it at “Oopee bloopey” 😭☠️

[@matthewc0225]

Thank you for putting all this together. I can not even imagine the effort it took to edit it all...being an early 70s version myself, I get a ''kick'' out of the idea of '90s vintage'🤪🤪... excellent content👍👍

[@JiJ1511]

Yeah. To hell with the algorithm quality content is quality content.

[@strawhatmarcor.1145]

As a 95’ baby, I am older than this toy 😂. Love seeing these retro throwbacks, and love the ape escape music ❤🎉

[@Maniac4Bricks]

1:30:47 from what I've researched, Crossfire comes from another box set from Dart Tag that includes one blaster, pair of goggles and a target shield. But then again, I've seen the same box with different color gear also called the Strikefire.

[@michaellee4276]

2:17:24 I totally thought you said "an effin' P90" which made perfect sense in context. Then 30 seconds later a light bulb pops up over my head and I think "OH! He said FN P90," as in Fabrique Nationale.

[@dangerszewski9816]

I"m a bit of an old man, and oh, you can't know how happy it makes me to see people discovering and enjoying the toys of my own youth, I remember coveting the Ballzooka when it came out, even though I was slightly old for the Nerf target market. I love the looks and sophistication of modern Nerf guns, and I love the fact they're putting accessory rails on and things, but there's a real charm to the classics too. I feel like Nerf themselves were more experimental as well, willing to use unusual form factors and odd-looking blasters which have now been relegated to the enthusiast hobby space.

[@beretnarf]

I remember being intrigued about the Doominator when I saw pictures and then the first one I got in hand was awful. Shame because I really like the concept and the times it worked well I saw good use cases. Wonder if they'll ever tackle the idea again.

[@milkdrinkerer669]

I got one a few years ago and it broke before I even loaded it

[@dorkasaurosrex9320]

Got one I used and abused for years, aside form the occasionally jam it works like a charm, guess I'm lucky

[@alaeriia01]

The Dart Zone Quatroblast was better than the Doominator in every way.

[@BostonianRailFan]

@@alaeriia01 yeah

[@BenjiJayGeeJay]

Walcom, dude, the effort you put into this was insane. Never let it be said you don't care about your fans. You have my respect, good sir

[@thedare6010]

That long chain at the end was the cherry on top of one of the most entertaining videos I’ve seen on this site. Incredible content

[@hereigoagain04]

This is freaking awesome!!!!! Thanks for persevering!!!

[@Kreiser_VII]

It really is a statement for the Vulcan that I remember seeing commercials for it back in a time when I didn't know any of these things. I may've never seen Nerf guns, I may've never had stores that had these things... Yet I knew about the Vulcan. This video is lovely, I have rewatched it a good couple of times, it's a great perspective into a time and toy ecosystem that I never had a part in, and now that I do, I am more hyped than ever for the future. Thanks for all the service for the hobby, Walcom!

[@scottbionicnerf8727]

In my experience, most left-handed people are used functioning in a right-handed world. My oldest son favored his left hand when he was very young. We intentionally played with him and interacted with him in ways that he had to use both hands equally. He turned out to be right handed, but he uses both hands almost equally well, just like Dad.

[@danvidsgaming7789]

This was epic, you sure have delivered on your promise for a month of Tag Back my man. The Vulcan really reminded me how much I really wanna make a Deplorable I have most of the bits, no Vulcan just yet and no Deploy but I do have a stampede that would do just fine for a stock and grip I could probably sacrifice my stockade for the flywheel cage. Really hope I can get around to building it some day.

[@m00k61]

Oh this is amazing. I'm getting strapped in and bundled up for this.

[@JeffStAndre]

I got a double breach using my last points during the 2015 promo campaign. Love it for its sleekness. You can mod a screw onto the prime rod and the door so the breech door cycles when priming.

[@asteralium]

I'm so glad Tag Back is back! It's my favorite series. This was a great video!

[@tornaxol837]

I can't belive you covered the strike fire! So cool! I actually have a working blue one! Never knew what it was called or why it had a Raul thing on the top of it. Awsome!

[@williamsistrunk504]

Tagback the movie. The best way to do it.

[@cowboybebop6968]

NO thank you sir for your time and dedication and yes i did watch the whole thing and loved every minute you put in too it i hope you had a very merry Christmas and p.s. i can't wait for more tag back i love seeing the past i have a lot of fond memories with my friends and now with my son again thank you and happy new year

[@pyiemadofarmule]

I find it very fitting that the vulcan is for the 25th video. Brings back memories from when i got mine.

[@rightsideup6304]

Man the Vulcan was a blast to the past for me. It was my first ever blaster when I was 8 and lots of fun were had. Still brightens my day seeing it since we weren't exactly well off and these things costs an arm and leg thanks to import taxes and how weak our currency is in general against USD. I still have it somewhere in my house and now at 23 years old, I hope it still works so that I can give it to my kids in the future.

[@UNIMrFrog]

im like 90% sure i have used the ballzooka and it’s a ton of fun

[@jacktaylor5018]

AT LAST! 🤩 The best present Walcok can possibly gift us long time fans of the channel A VULCAN TAG BACK 🥳⭐️

[@CharlieBuran]

I made my own Nerf blaster. It’s a PVC pipe and a canister that holds air as well as a garden hose. You can probably imagine what the rest of it would look like it’s gonna be a Canon

[@litebulb2699]

Thanks for mentioning LARPing specifically here! It's nice to be acknowledged as a demographic; most reviewers are competitive-focused and what works well there is just... not needed in a setting where half of your encounters with enemies begin in standoffs between theatre nerds who LOVE an opportunity to be dramatic instead of efficient. Who needs a 60 ft range when all your encounters start face-face after a monologue? The Strikefire was my intro into larping with nerf. My brother gave me all his old blasters when I went to my first zombie game, and deciding that I only needed a sidearm since it incorporated melee pretty well. I painted it up to have beautiful woodgrain, tarnished steel, and copper fasteners, which wasn't exactly sensible in a realism sense but it still looked nice. After seeking more out, I now have three total. One of them is still unpainted, and the other has a much simpler paintjob and grungy wash to loan out to new players at the post-apoc game I play. It's never taken over the roughcut and strife we keep on the team shelf, but it has an undeniably charming look that we like to keep around.

[@Demanime]

YES HE DID THE VULCAN I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR 14 DAYS AND HE DOES IT!!

[@TheWiseMountainGoat]

This worked perfect for me cause I tend to wait for 3 or more tag backs so I can binge watch them. I've always loved tag back, especially after the curator passed on the torch (and massive armory) to you

[@HiddenStrengthTimelapseDrawing]

1:23:56. Yep, I remember that time. Especially in the late 80's, there was plenty of gross-out themed toys: Creepy Crawlers, Mad Balls, Inhumanoids, Toxic Crusaders, and of course Garbage Pail Kids. I remember TMNT toy charactors like Mutagen Man, Muckman & Joe Eyeball all employed the human + toxic-waste mutation gimmik. For me as a kid, these toylines were cool because they was so playfully edgy. Good memories!

[@alaeriia01]

That Oopee is the dumbest thing ever and I love it

[@DeerWasTaken]

This is gonna be a good movie I can feel it

[@Shadowsword12]

Daily tag back uploads a problem? Just Bulk em all together in a long epic display of nerf vintage goodness. The internet situation sounds sucky but do what you can amirite?

[@darklordofsword]

I have the gyrostrike, and I have *one* of the bolts... I'm pretty sure the electronics are shot and it NEVER had the magazine. Edit; also, that Dart Zone sniper looks like a TNG movie era phaser rifle and I WANT IT.

[@itsmejak7888]

the gyrostrike has no electronics..... its a manual flywheeler

[@daltondavis3298]

Well I was born in 1997 so it is always interesting to see these kinds of things man... Cool content man.

[@Refriedbeans83]

Walcom, if you carefully drive a screw through the clutch for the feed pawl in a Vulcan and grind the head off, a Vulcan is only limited to the strength of the plastic. Mine has 100% tried to eat my fingers🤣

[@peerapasch]

1:36:36 I don't know why but when I saw you pumping that blaster, it looks adorable for me.

[@Patty-Q]

This was a beast of a video and I'm glad to watch through it. I actually cheered at that last Vulcan shot

[@Lt.Li4m]

Man these nerf guns are nostalgic!

[@foxans1919]

1:14:26 I don't have plumbing up-this things getting filled with beer That hit me way harder than it had any right to XD

[@SkyTheSoftMommy]

that postal reference really got me. Nostalgia hits hard 24:54

[@MudchopX]

Appreciate all the work that went into this! It was a fun watch

[@egonspengler8487]

30:55 he's just hilarious how he had edited it

[@Etedder]

Oh my gosh hearing the ragnarok online music of the buzzbee auto tek 20 took me off guard. xD

[@WanderingTetsubo]

Now this...................This is one hell of a belated Christmas gift!

[@fasthippy]

Also... I need to be the master of blasters... need to complete my all ball load out!!

[@thelizardking3807]

Hey Walcom one thing I’d like to see even though it’s not a huge deal is a chronograph of these tagback blasters. Edit: I see you brought up why you don’t later in this video, it would still be neat

[@Griff589]

Got I remember my little brother got the Vulcan for Christmas when he was 4, the damn thing was as big as he was, I got the long shot, my parents really thought it was a good idea to give the tiny children the BIGGEST nerf guns possible lmao

[@Lavender_Fox]

i really hope that vulcan is still at my local goodwill.. could use that automatic spring action for somethin..

[@btcarnage1146]

The oopee swerving all over like drunk drivers

[@nicholasmazzarella2720]

WS7 Thanks for putting these all together. I must have missed some along the way. Great work as always. Happy New Year

[@wy_lift5669]

I was upset when you didn’t upload for a while, but honestly sooooo worth the wait, love this video

[@m00k61]

Thank you for this Walcom. It made a crappy holiday and crappy Monday better.

[@MichaelsMadness]

ayyy mook

[@bigcheese8896]

Screw youtube analytics, this is freaking awesome 👌

[@StrakanDocrusReakal]

I used to have a vulcan until it was given to a friend because i moved interstate and couldn't take it with, but i do still have a longstrike that i want to look at modifying for range, accuracy and power and potentially making it a semi-auto.

[@paulfriberg8352]

I remember getting those strike fires as a hand-me-down and strapped both to each side of the modulus. It was terrible ergonomically but intimidation and having spare shots alone made it worth it

[@Darkstar-qb3dh]

I remember as a kid opening up the Vulcan and I absolutely loved it I’ll never forget

[@CrazyCritter1]

I hope Tag Back comes back every christmas!

[@haydenyeung7500]

Thanks for doing the Vulcan!

[@Maniac4Bricks]

I have no words. I'm gonna need like, 50 comments to explain how all these blasters make me feel. But for now I'll say, Gyro Strike, I'm coming for you. I recorded the video almost a year ago and gotta get it uploaded. But now I feel it needs a rerecording. Hmm, just know that the train doesn't stop here!

[@Maniac4Bricks]

That being said, I don't have the box or the silver rocket well, so I can only feed one rocket at a time. I got 4 rockets with mine and 2 were torn on the back so they don't clear the pusher mechanism to launch. Maybe a dog chewed it before arriving at my door. Cost me $48 shipped. Oh and almost no stickers around it.

[@kbforme]

I got that slingshot(the Nerf brand one) for Christmas one year, had a lot of fun with my brother who got a different blaster. I thought it was actually pretty accurate and fun. You just had to pull it back at a specific angle and you could get really good range out of it.

[@thealmightytigor5308]

Seeing the gun smoke just reminded me of my childhood I loved that thing when I was younger wish I could find one for nostalgia as the one I had broke

[@BoeForPresidant]

Have my red strike vulcan on a little shelf, love to show the thing, found it on eBay with the stickers and everything still with it. Love that thing

[@GodkingHD]

I was 11 years old when the Electric Eel first came out. If I knew the value of it then I would've done my best to keep it. It truly was ahead of its time. On the packaging it specifically said to not look directly at the lights when they flashed. Not only did the darts glow in the dark the paint around the muzzle was pretty visible at night as well. And the magazine was just as hard to find back then as it is now. Man I loved that blaster.

[@QuinnyOnMain]

oopee really is the dark souls of beach balls

[@camguitar2000]

Please tell me that I'm not the only one that saw a very young Seth Green in the first Nerf Slingshot Commercial???

[@magicofportapotty6422]

I love that the Vulcan was a part of the nerf logo

[@JGZinv]

I have an electric eel that works and has the ammo, maybe even the box. The darts were old mega yes but it came with a sticker sheet which you wrapped the darts in (shroud like) and when it sat in the eel it gave the paper that instant charge that only lasted a couple minutes.

[@wafflecoptergaming2673]

I recently found a fully operational Vulcan with all its parts at a thrift shop and I was absolutely ecstatic. Have wanted one ever since I first saw it, and that red version is absolutely gorgeous!

[@plattysnerfshop2160]

Thanks so much for for all your hard work, really enjoyed the 25 days of Tag Back. It doesn't matter in the slightest that it came out later than you would have planned, you did an awesome job as usual :-) We're fans of the Vulcan/Havok (we're in the UK so we normally find Havoks) too and have been accumulating the various releases and others for future modding projects. Eventually we hope to make a gatling one with flywheels like the deplorable and hopefully were going to dye one of our clear vulcans blue to make a sonic ice style variant. Thanks for all your content and we wish you all the best for 2022! :-)

[@Buget-shinji]

the hasbro hates dinosaurs joke had me dying 😂

[@JohnnyZ3710]

Man we had so many of those OG blaster's. Sneak Shot, Ballzooka, Ultimator. That Electric Eel fired darts with glowing paper wrapped around them. Nerf couldn't be bothered to make glowing foam so they made glowing stickers.

[@Jackalblade9]

Walcom, I spent all day on and off as I could watching this video, and it was wonderful. I want to thank you for your hard work in making this and giving us nearly three hours of Tag Back. Awesome stuff, sir. Happy New Year and may it be better for us all.

[@jeffreycarman2185]

I appreciate all of the effort! This was a great video.

[@maxwe117]

I like Strikefires! I’ve painted and modified one, and can confirm they are reverse plunger, that being said, they have the same style as a maverick so you can just put some pennies in the back. I have all 4 of them, a 1 Red, 3 Blue 2 green 1 orange.

[@dandiam5298]

It's wild to me that the Brute was in the threshold for a Tag Back episode. I'm only 21, stop making me feel old Walcolm.

[@sinisterisrandom8537]

Tbh what even happened to Nerf Icon. It had so much potential to bring back old stuff. Especially little things like the Secret Shot

[@deus6383]

Is that the air-pumped one? I traded a jolt for one of those a while ago and it was the best investment ever

[@SuupurSanicc]

Woah, that buzzbee blaster really is just a stright up bolter. Thank you for bring it to our attention :^)

[@dragonmaster_000]

been waiting for the Vulcan!

[@cracdealer9007]

I'm going to get enough strikefires to go on every single tac rail on a stampede. A truly sinful endeavor, but an awesome one as well.

[@_tw300]

making this blaster for both left and right is much simpler than your idea. you could simply have 2 handles to pull on (one on each side) thay already do it with bolt action blasters

[@Azrel00]

That Optimus blaster really caught me off guard.

[@metalofthedeath]

That transformer one is so sick!

[@ezequielgarcia2277]

Only a word: INCREDIBLE !!!!

[@buggybug]

The Rototrack would be a nice secondary if you have a hammershot in your right hand. That is, if you're able to reload the hammershot with it attached to your arm. The oopee looks so fun on the box! Unpredictable balls would make soccer actually fun to watch lol

[@8BitCyberWarrior]

oh man. Every time he reviews some early 2000s blaster i used to own my heart hurts a little. I had a huge collection including classics like the Rapidstrike, the Recon, the Rayven, the REV-6, a bunch of Rebelle and Zombie strike blasters, a vanguard sword, and plenty of various pistols like these strikefires (blue and red). My ex-gf threw them away in 2020. RIP my childhood. :'( Of course some of them were toys I stole from my cousins when I was like 12, so maybe it's just Karma lmao

[@foolyboi2640]

Doing a Tag back on one of the old dart tag blasters like the quick 16 would be awesome

[@Thaonim]

BRO! I was listening to the Ape Escape OST earlier today! To hear it immediately was such a crazy coincidence. Then to hear the "main hub" theme as well? Absolute peak.

[@DmenDuroRider]

I found a yellow Vulcan at goodwill for $7 had all the attachments too with 2 chains.

[@phantomduck8247]

Am i the only one who enjoyed the Oopee episode the most?

[@kaganthetreethree7740]

I think I skipped it because it didn't fling foam

[@ItzGiooo]

This is litterally the video I’ve been waiting for,,,,2 HOURS LONG✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

[@wildmangeorgesrcchannel6916]

i used to have a cyber strike. and percepter this show is bringing back memories of all the blasters i forgot i had as a kid
