WAS THE NERF FORTNITE GL WORTH THE HYPE?

The NERF Fortnite line has been a pretty mixed bag, and I still have a new new blasters to review from it; but one of the most exciting announcements was the Fortnite GL. This Grenade Launcher is something that didn't previously exist in the hobby in any fashion, and if looks could kill... could the Fortnite GL? Well... maybe. Let's find out.

[@Flygonial]

Just the fact that it auto-rotates already avoids my worst fear for this blaster, but hearing meh reliability hits my second worst one. :( If reliable, I'd say it has a niche for specializing into taking out specials (or whatever niche rockets have in your ruleset) while still being impractical for the majority of players who would be better off finding a more compact way to pop rockets.

[@Loneadmin]

Modding this would be cool if you could do something like a co2 mod

[@luissantiago5163]

That thumbnail. Man that is giant. Appreciate the uploads *edit* wow that stinks

[@Zand3rParkour]

Yeah, every other missile launcher has had basically no barrel. So I wonder if chopping the barrel off of this one will help. Also going in and improving the HAMP's seal. I know that made a notable difference on the Thunderblast.

[@MeAmMelonLord]

Looking at the teardown pic, if you gutted, or outright replaced, the entire front end, you could probably rig up one of those backwards-firing cylinders like CaptainSlug's Piranha. Thing is you'd probably also be better off making the trigger be on the foregrip

[@keithsimpson2685]

The 90s there were a bunch of bazooka and grenade launcher toys where you at pump a handle to fill a reservoir then pull the trigger to fire it with similar rockets and they had great range and we're very fun I can't find anything with similar molds anymore

[@B3N_Youtube]

I just thought of a crazy idea. Considering that the entire back end of the gun is sort of pointless, if you modify it right you can make this into a heavy under barrel grenade launcher with a fly wheel weapon or something… that sounds bulky but bad ass

[@JoshGariepy]

Been a couple years since I followed your channel but you are looking a lot healthier and happier now than before. Cheers!

[@ZandorJhayme]

I'm thinking about getting rid of the hamp, keep the pump grip for rotation mechanism, and just stuffing a drain blaster behind it. Sure it means you have to deal with pumps, but since I have no access to HPA or CO2 alternatives, I think it should be enough for the games I play :) EDIT: you know, I wonder if anyone has tried to design a flywheel system for demolisher rockets... 🤔 Would have to use stupid size motors, flywheels and a powerful battery, but they have tennis ball launchers that work similarly right?

[@Lankythepyro]

Hey Walcom. I subscribed. Make those vids :p I know I'm not alone in this hope and my expectation isn't high, but I really hope missile refill packs arrive on the shelf next to this thing. That's my biggest hope for this. Outside of that, looks cool, not great otherwise, exactly as expected. It looks much better without the cylinder covers on I think, more practical too.

[@WalcomS7]

They already are in a lot of places, has 4 of the same rockets as came with this one.

[@CollectionTHX1138]

7:48 "Do you want something like this? Well this is probably one of the only ways you're going to get it" lol

[@paradox_saber54]

It's lunky, huge, hefty, quirky, and I love it. Yeah it doesn't have a lot of firepower, but it definitely has some serious shelf presence. There will definitely be some mods in the future for this thing. I can feel it. As an added note, I agree Saber is kinda weak, but you gotta admit the suit designs are pretty good.

[@timmhaven.j8355]

Just a thought but I would look into an integration of the GL and the N-strike Firefly, because it may look cool and also give you the room to put an air compressor and tank. That or just shove a titan on the back of it

[@Bioburningk]

So crazy thing with my demolisher I had two grenades I removed the wings on one of them and the one without the wings works really good like straight line but the one without the wings curve all over the place

[@lukeiannello6190]

It should use a typical plunger system, with the prime and index on the back stroke, instead of indexing on the forward stroke. It's already essentially a slam-fire only blaster but it'd be much neater with a proper plunger and traditional slam-fire operation.

@@WalcomS7 you should've added a splash sound effect as it landed into it... or judging by your response, a toxic waste foghorn.

[@DunstansShoe]

I want this modded to fire ballistic balls (I can get EVA foam practice gold balls from ali express that are close enough.) to make it a modern day version of the 1994 ballzooka. The charge at the front of the blaster seems like it'd be easier to hold it straight then the 1994 toy.

[@zeroblade6599]

Ooh, looks like it's going to be pretty easy chopping the stock and grip off and gluing a drainblaster on. Still a bit pricey though, but I can wait a bit longer for it to go down in price

[@eggbag4182]

The appeal isn't really about distance more than it is rate of fire. The only other thing to my knowledge that can shoot rockets this fast is a Big Salvo and those are hard to find.

[@neolancer005]

I think the GL has a bad air seal with the hamp being slammed home. I would think a good fix would to have each tube "kiss" the pump with a o-ring. But when I saw the GL I immediately thought this needs to be HPA

[@benpatzman5156]

Priming gear sheard right off with housing is probly the part that broke in your elite2.0 shotgun same thing happened to my.

[@skopian101]

Hey Walcom interesting question could you put the nerf regulator internals into the halo MA40

[@Boomstickmods]

That blaster definitely needs a shell overhaul since most of it is empty plastic. A new stock, handle and a shorter more open barrel would really help. Admittedly a spexbz definitely will make it more spicy.

[@demoman4335]

One crossed wire, one wayward pinch of potassium chlorate, one errant twitch, and KA-BLOOIE!

[@Rohirin]

So would an old maverick cylinder fit inside of those tubes? If nothing else this means we get more rocket refill packs and I get to use my demo launcher again!

[@redenginner]

Maybe something like an airsoft 40mm grenade shell but with air would have worked better. The demolisher rocket is on a post with a air tank “shell” behind it that when triggered shoots the missile off.

[@notmuch_23]

WHYYYY are all the recent rocket launchers HAMPS instead of sprung plungers with catches?!?!?

[@fallingloo9930]

Yeah, it’s not good for long range, but, look on the bright side, demolisher rockets are overvalued all the time, and this gives you six, and carries all of them at once. This could be a quantity over quality blaster that’s good for mid range or less slamfire. So that could work.
