Okay out of the box it is not the best blaster, but the bk-1 is an amazing entry into the AEG space. So many reviewers are only talking about the out of box experience, which to be honest was for me pretty good since I was new to the AEG space and could not afford to get the qwk or the MK3 Challenger. Best of all this Blaster is so easy to modify and does not take a lot to do, just changing the barrel type to a 13 mm aluminum Barrel without doing anything else significantly helped its performance and it's feeding issue, if you chamfer the ends you reduce the feeding issue even more. On top of that just changing out the fuse to a 10 amp or higher will allow you to upgrade the battery and the spring. So what I found that works Within the bk-1 is that the spring is very similar in size to that of the Nexus Pro/ Striker so I was able to take the stock spring from either of the blasters mentioned cut it down to two coils longer than the stock spring in the BK-1, change out the fuse to a 40 amp, changing out the barrel material to 13 mm aluminum Barrel and with that done I'm now hitting in the 170s for FPS with a lot more reliable feeding and amazing accuracy with no scar barrels
I'm really glad that your BK-1 is working well for you sir! As I have mentioned many times throughout the video, this is my personal opinion and my take on this blaster, I merely shared and pointed out my experience of this BK-1 blaster. You are free to share yours as well, sir ;) I would love to watch it!
I thought many times before attempting to get my hands on this BK-1.. as well as Challenger MK3 (due to its price lol). Most importantly I'm just extremely PROUD with my Colonel Wasp x MM 76 anyway. I did encounter issues from my 76 such as pusher rod getting split from cylinder (fixed by adding tape to fit the pusher rod to the cylinder by friction), as well as plunger rod not being released by catch plate when shooting (as a result no air blowing and launching the darts) due to upper and lower receivers not assembled tightly (I secured by putting front and back pins, but didn't put the middle pin 😅). Lower receiver has that kind of long see-saw like lever that pushes the catch plate upward when the lever is being pushed by cylinder during cycle while shooting. After fixing all those issues, my 76 functions again like new and it's still going strong till now. So far no darts jam throughout shooting my 76 (I use Worker Gen 2 HE red darts). IMHO the 76 should be an example of Nerf AEB technology as a whole, due to its reliability while having excellent performance.
@@monkeemods8393 Absolutely agree. Also really wish in future the 76 comes with more durable shell (nylon perhaps). But the current transparent shell looks cool too anyway. =)
I'm also buy One ,just don't upgrade spring, only replace barrel & do lubricant, that enough get 150+ fps, for mid performance like dartzone blaster it fit well.
Yeah just depends where in the world you are and if you are OK with 3d printed blasters. All of the Adventure Force/ Dart Zone max blasters come in under this price point (in the USA) and all are great blasters hitting 150+ fps, there are some 3d printed blasters that may be in this price rand or just a trade more like the Tallon Claw for an example
nah the propriety dart length design is terrible...that just kills the whole thing for anyone who wants better performance with darts that are better than worker. also worker dart production is terrible on its own, so relying on that for a good time is a problem as well, Ive seen a majority of worker darts not even having properly seated dart heads.
The dart length is not a problem, I own the BK-1 just like this video and the jam occurs with any dart. So this video is false about dart length. Swapping the barrel material helped even more to use any dart you want
@@ice2112 barrel material had nothing to do with that....it's manufacting of the barrel that matters, and if it's processed correctly at the chamber and yes the length does matter......the blaster literally runs properly with a mag full of pre measured darts.....sorry but if you have to change the blaster in any way to make it work properly after you purchased it, makes it a dogshit blaster.........that's like buying a new car and having to swap the engine out so the car actually moves after you paid for it
@@expiredgamer_ugh there is no such thing as a perfect blaster and our hobby is all about modding for better performance over all, so either you suck as a modder or player and blame you crappiness on the blaster instead of your own skill
@@ice2112 no....this isn't a 3d printed kit....a mod kit....or a hardware kit.....this is a completed blaster sold as a functional blaster at over 100$, a product sold to you with statements that it's a functional blaster.....btw consumer laws make practices like that illegal to go against what you stated when you sell it
@@ice2112 the fail to function has nothing to do with player "skill" either....when the product arrives after being sold as functional and doesn't function out of the box....then that's the fault of the manufacturer and isn't the "hobby".....you sound like you support practices like orange armory and their sr200 and their cyber line and their complete failure even at the end to provide refunds......people like you are the reason companies like orange armory think they can get away with bad practices
considering this blaster looks like a gun and is produced in china, china might ban it soon (just like gelblasters) and honestly i dont like gun look-a-like blasters in the nerf hobby...... and the blaster just sucks, the AEB technology is to young (and unreliable!) to be mass produced nice review though :)
FYI, China doesn't ban guns that look realistic compared to other Asian and European countries do. Under firearms law in these continents countries, a gun is not considered replica if they have screws attaching 2 main pieces and the police could easily identify it's fake. The blaster in video is obviously a toy at first glance. Real gun comprised of moulded parts held together via sliding groove & a pin locking the upper & lower receivers. Also soft dart blasters come with big diameter darts as if you're gonna shoot some xenomorph. Only realistic replica guns with 90-100% resemblance to the real thing being placed under tight control especially gel blasters & Airsoft gun that are mostly replica. Asians love soft dart blasters that are legally look closest to the actual guns such as Lehui QBZ95 or look sci-fi like QWK edge. AEB isn't practical because they rely entirely on motor to shoot & tend to overheat and burnout. There are blasters that have practical failsafe where you can still manually cock the gun and shoot if battery or motor out. The practical blasters relying on motor just to cock the gun, providing semi-auto or full-auto while the firing mechanism is entirely spring works. The future of AEB would be these practical blasters.
AEG has been around for a long time, for Nerf you had the Vulcan and the Stampede. AEG are just re surging now, so many Nerf Blasters have gun aesthetic looks as well, so your comment about it being gun like is invalid.

its actually not bad - really perfect for low FPS events - most of my indoor events has 180fps cap - my BK1 hits around 100+
Thanks foam bro, I'm not into proprietary darts, stefans and talon mags. Now to look for something else.....

We are really glad that you love and enjoyed the 76 Blaster! It's certainly not a perfect blaster but for what it asks for, it's pretty close!

That looks almost exactly like a 3D printed pistol caliber carbine. 😍
Not sure how I should feel about that HAHA
I'm also buy One ,just don't upgrade spring, only replace barrel & do lubricant, that enough get 150+ fps, for mid performance like dartzone blaster it fit well.
Hey do u know if the fmg9 cart gun can fit a airsoft g19
36mm darts are all I use... I find them better in every way over the standard 38mm darts regardless of blaster.
Indeed, and you know what? The latest batch of all the Worker short darts are now standardized to be 36mm!
One mistake, out of the box gears are metal and not nylon.
Thank you so much for the correction! I wasn't aware of that!
EDIT: The pinion gear on the motor itself however is made of nylon, weird combination.
is there any good blasters at this price point?

At 120USD I think there are plenty of good blaster choices, but just not an AEB I suppose.
Still waiting on the colonel wasp 76 review.🤣
Literally waiting on my moving targets so I can do the review HAHA, please bear with us just a bit more xD
I just subscribed by the way fun stuff🔫

I think u shall do the auto demo since it's not accurate. It need the high rate of fire to ensure it hit the target. Lol..
