This has been a long time coming! Thanks again to FFW For sending this out to me, it really is a well designed kit! GET YOUR OWN ADVENTURE FORCE WAFFLES SHIRT! www.teespring.com/adventure-waffles
I don’t know if it’s been stated in the comments, but I like how it’s a Borderlands reference. Being named Athena, a character from Pre-Sequel, and the vault symbol being on it
i wish more modders did resin based prints when they put them up for sale. resin looks and feels so much better than PLA or ABS plastics. it also comes with no lines
Resins tend to be a *lot* more brittle and less durable than filaments. They crack more easily, and grind to dust much more quickly where they rub surfaces.
I just watched one of dracs new vids and he asked what color he should tell out of darts to tell worker to make talon mags for and I said for Walcoms7 make the mags PINK.
We'll cover that in a near future video. Requires some sanding and some Filler Primer, but after that you can make amazing things happen. I think Valour Blasters will get to it before I do (he's the one who educated me on it), but if anything we'll have a video on it soon.
Thanks for the amazing vid again, ill be ordering an adventure force waffles hoodie as soon as i get paid because I’m a hoodie girl and its such a cool design i also know Athena has a kit for the kronomag too and its awesome, hope youre doing well
buzzbee agitator, great stock performance, ceda or ceda s, greta, but you need to put the right spring in it.....otherwise you are so stock with the alpha trooper unless you live in the US. Nerf needs to step up if it will survive.
Been watching this for awhile. It looks nice. Actually makes the Finisher viable for a cool pump action primary. But it's that nasty screeching sound of print-on-print that makes me decide against these kinds of things.
It's super easy to fix, I have some tape that is specifically meant for it; and honestly I think the microphone picked it up way too much in this video. Like if you pay more attention to the direct on-camera stuff as opposed to how it sounds in the range test it's very quiet.
I have modded plenty of blasters that didn't come with orange tips, for a myriad of reasons. Unless you're specifically going for a prop/cosplay cosmetic piece, its best not take chances. Especially in the current world as it is. Best suggestion: Paint on your own orange tip. I use Krylon Glow Orange enamel. Even comes in a pen form, if you're not handy with a brush. Really good for jazzing up some of those 'iron' sights too. www.amazon.com/Krylon-KSCB022-Brush-1-Ounce-Orange/dp/B000GLIZHS
This kit is cool as hell, but if get the blaster, and this way coolkit, I'd be stuck with having to fix the Finisher. I'm sure by now, someone has come up with a fix for the Finisher. Hopefully, the Athena kit will still be available by the time I'm ready.
Ya know when a random person compliments you but don’t even know why he is here, but you can’t get mad because he is nice. That is the finisher. Nobody asked but nobody is against it.
This kit would be great with that Rival drum if it ever materialises. But I wouldn't be too surprised if the drum didn't fit in the Finisher, after everything that's happened this year. It looks like a sweet kit for people who uses Rival Magazines. Are there many of those? I've been thinking about getting a Hypnos, but the Finisher hasn't really stood out until I saw this video.
@@adriansue8955 I know the guy who he got it from. NERF moved all their rival stuff to a different country and then never revisited the drum. Could still happen because we got the Saturn.
My Finisher has an issue where the slide doesnt go back all the way, but when I pull it back to properly prime it it repeats this until it gums up the barrel and breech with rival rounds...
@@WalcomS7 lol yeah that happens but is ok man keep up the FANTASTIC WORK and also listen to welcome to the black parade by my chemical romance man sounds amazing
What about the Rivalburn? It'd be more expensive but you can do a lot more with it. Apparently Slug isn't selling it anymore though so you have to print it yourself or get someone else to do it for you.......
So basically the Finisher is the Rival equivalent of the Retaliator? >_> I cannot wait to see how this shit progresses. Heheh I approve of the Athena name and Borderlands logo. She was a badass and the sole reason why I played the pre sequel.
Caliburn Rival If I'm going to deal with 3d printed stuff, I'd rather just go all the way and use the Caliburn Rival Same traditional rifle layout as this, but gets away from the unreliable Finisher at the core. yeah the Caliburn will cost more, but I think the performance is worth the price difference.
@@WalcomS7 Really!?!? Thats awesome! I love the knockout and id say it the best pistol for nerf. At the moment. Look forward to seeing reviews on those kits.
@@WalcomS7 Crap i just noticed that. Hope everything gets back in line soon. Also idk if you've heard of the meaker kit for the knockout.... it basically turns it into a mini sledge fire.
Hey Walcom, do you think this could fit as is, or through some modification, on a Kronos? It could be cool to even have it modded for short darts as well.
This has been a long time coming! Thanks again to FFW For sending this out to me, it really is a well designed kit! GET YOUR OWN ADVENTURE FORCE WAFFLES SHIRT! www.teespring.com/adventure-waffles
Thanks walcom I also do have a channel for nerf but in hindi for india cause we rock
WALCOM YOU DIDN'T FLIP THE BLASTER
@@frogjog8822 3D Printed thing that'd break if I dropped it.
Saturn is pump action with a weird feeding system
Walcom S7 yikes
Walcom: To introduce a new ammo type, start with a pump action magazine fed blaster.
Nerf: *sad ultra one noises*
Took 7 blasters to get the Ultra to be a mag-fed springer... and it isn't pump-action.
@@WalcomS7 And the one that is pump-action mag-fed blaster has the most uncomfortable priming handle I've ever seen on a blaster.
Totally forgot that one is internal mag not mag-fed, derp.
Boomco------ you guys have mags? Well we may use clips but at least we aren’t clipped!
You can get away with it being a semi-auto mag-fed flywheeler, but that pump-action mag-fed springer had better be around the corner.
Friendship ended with Pump Action Apollo.
Athena is now my best friend.
*pump action finisher
I don’t know if it’s been stated in the comments, but I like how it’s a Borderlands reference. Being named Athena, a character from Pre-Sequel, and the vault symbol being on it
We just need her arm shield to go with it
I just wish we had that 30 round drum for something like this
EXACTLY what I was thinking!!!
John James there was I have a screenshot of someone with the physical drum.
can someone print some on a large scale?
Just make some fast mags
@@JohnJames. Luke from out of darts has one
This actually makes it tempting to buy a Finisher.
Wow they actually made the finisher good
2:49 tacticool cat in the background nice :)
4:14 that is the vault symbol from the borderlands series which means whoever posted the files for this kit is a borderlands fan
That’s a nice vintage blaster in box you’ve got there Walcom
Gee I wonder why? :P
I don't know why, but I get borderlands 3 vibes from this!
same here
Because its named Athena? Or Because it literally has the Vault logo on it?
@@cheeseblast both!
That thing really does look awesome! I dig the sci-fiesque feeling it has
9:20 ah, I see you are a man of culture too.
walcom
i have a question
is there a mod you DON'T like??
Typically I don't do reviews on mods I don't like...
All the hammer-shot mods? Or is that just a preference for the strong-arm?
Probably stravens, like, just use a crossbolt!
@@SofaPop. what did I just read?
@@gameends5330 stryfe ravens are a terrible waste when you could just use a crossbolt
Pathfinder: "Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power"
That kit is the most exciting thing about the Finisher
I can't believe he still has the stock trigger 😂
I am really glad you covered this kit my friend, the blaster itself neat but the kit makes it worth it
Even in current year, with the Pathfinder being a thing that exists, this looks a lot cooler, and seems to prime more smoothly than my K25 Pathfinder.
Ill shirt brother.. cool kit and even sweeter that FFW stamped your name on the stock bars 👌👍
Hasbro caught on years later with the Pathfinder lol.
Shooting it with the long magazine was cool as hell to watch...
Nice review, but can you make the original finisher review!
You are the best Walcom
Now I might have to pick up the finisher.
that blaster is cool
God that KR merch is a magnet to my eyes.
Only thing that made me remember that this is still a nerf review is the rest of the room
Ngl this makes me tempted to buy a finisher
If you want to exclude the hypnos because it doesn't load in a typical way that's really stretching it
Looks like from seeing it from the outside you could convert it to fire half
darts
There is also an Athena kit for the Kronos
i wish more modders did resin based prints when they put them up for sale. resin looks and feels so much better than PLA or ABS plastics. it also comes with no lines
Resins tend to be a *lot* more brittle and less durable than filaments. They crack more easily, and grind to dust much more quickly where they rub surfaces.
I just watched one of dracs new vids and he asked what color he should tell out of darts to tell worker to make talon mags for and I said for Walcoms7 make the mags PINK.
I can't wait for the next full auto rival blaster because I love heavy weapons
Great video as always walcom
Legit question: How different is painting on 3D printed materials like the end of the Athena kit, if at all?
We'll cover that in a near future video. Requires some sanding and some Filler Primer, but after that you can make amazing things happen. I think Valour Blasters will get to it before I do (he's the one who educated me on it), but if anything we'll have a video on it soon.
This reminds me of those Glock PDW -conversion kits
I wish they had the kit to go on the Herecles.
Hey Walcolm I came back to this video to tell you theres a similar configuration out for the aeon pro.
Thanks walcom for the women rider belts in the background
I love ur reviews!
Thanks!
His outro 👌
Me: Furiously starts searching OOD for Rival Finisher upgrade springs
I need that shirt now .
Nice Driver selection bro
Surprised that I haven't seen an atlas 45 magwell kit for this blaster yet
Would be cool if they made a short dart kit option for this blaster kit.
Kinda defeats the purpose then beyond cosmetics, you could just use a Kronos which is way more moddable and has a lot more going for it.
Thanks for the amazing vid again, ill be ordering an adventure force waffles hoodie as soon as i get paid because I’m a hoodie girl and its such a cool design i also know Athena has a kit for the kronomag too and its awesome, hope youre doing well
Yes...I love stalks

This is Insane keep making bangers!
That 3d printed crunch and squeak
Sounds way worse on camera than it actually sounds.
@@WalcomS7 thanks for the reassurance walcom
That looks so cool
That cat god i love your pets
She's really cute!

Don’t think I didn’t notice that ten tenchu theme in the intro
Ohmahgawd its the bullseye smg from resistance:fall of man
That kit makes it look like the R-97 smg from Titanfall to me
Or apex
That’s what I thought
I'm thinking reverse there is this said Apollo Pump kit I love it doesn't take any cutting that I remember
I thought of a magazine fed semi automatic blaster.
Ya know when a random person compliments you but don’t even know why he is here, but you can’t get mad because he is nice. That is the finisher. Nobody asked but nobody is against it.

Yeah I don't get why the drum didn't happen.
@@WalcomS7 Maybe if had reliability issues that made it unsuitable for mass production? perhaps privately ask Luke OoD to comment?
@@adriansue8955 I know the guy who he got it from. NERF moved all their rival stuff to a different country and then never revisited the drum. Could still happen because we got the Saturn.
My Finisher has an issue where the slide doesnt go back all the way, but when I pull it back to properly prime it it repeats this until it gums up the barrel and breech with rival rounds...
I was able to slam a 10 coil K25 in my Finisher. Hits 150-160, prime isn't bad either....
Good video man looks awesome one question why have you never done a review on the finisher hm...
I filmed one. I just forgot I did, apparently.
@@WalcomS7 lol yeah that happens but is ok man keep up the FANTASTIC WORK and also listen to welcome to the black parade by my chemical romance man sounds amazing
What about the Rivalburn? It'd be more expensive but you can do a lot more with it. Apparently Slug isn't selling it anymore though so you have to print it yourself or get someone else to do it for you.......
Different beast.
Do you know any possible angled foregrip for the Nexus Pro? I'm looking to change the priming handle to an angled foregrip
Btw has anyone tried modding the X-shot chaos meteor to use rival mags? I think that would be rad.
I hope dart zone is paying attention
Will you be making a video on the microburst?
Of course, in fact that might be tomorrow's video. I haven't filmed it yet. Was kinda waiting to get together with the boys to film it.
It looks like the r99 from titanfall
Or apex
How different is the finisher from the Kronos? This with a kronomag would be sweet together...
Yes!!!! A mod!
I'm getting it!
I need 3XT in your shirt sizes...I see the option, but it's unavailable....
So basically the Finisher is the Rival equivalent of the Retaliator? >_> I cannot wait to see how this shit progresses. Heheh I approve of the Athena name and Borderlands logo. She was a badass and the sole reason why I played the pre sequel.
What about the rampage or raider
Do you like waffles? Yeah we like waffles!
links busted for athena kit. is there a new spot you can buy one?
2:49 C A T
when you really want the walcom merch but you’re broke as frick
I would buy it but I live in Brazil soooooo... yeah
Caliburn Rival
If I'm going to deal with 3d printed stuff, I'd rather just go all the way and use the Caliburn Rival
Same traditional rifle layout as this, but gets away from the unreliable Finisher at the core.
yeah the Caliburn will cost more, but I think the performance is worth the price difference.
If performance is your concern, sure; this isn't ever going to be a high performance blaster like I said.
thank god it doesnt make the horrbile sound when prime it like the apollo mod did
Yo did the hit marks become HD?
What is that first song you put on? Sounds badass.
Battle of Ice 1
@@WalcomS7 Thanks, man.
Nice alpha troo.... i mean finisher. Are you going to review the littld boomer knockout kit from franzfoamworks?
I have so many Knockout kits right now... not even enough blasters for them.
@@WalcomS7 Really!?!? Thats awesome! I love the knockout and id say it the best pistol for nerf. At the moment. Look forward to seeing reviews on those kits.
Kind of off topic but what happed to the Saturday livestreams?
@@seizedcarcass8440 Check the COmmunity section.
@@WalcomS7 Crap i just noticed that. Hope everything gets back in line soon. Also idk if you've heard of the meaker kit for the knockout.... it basically turns it into a mini sledge fire.
Walcom, do you think rival is dead?
K but what about a slam fire kit on project Athena
Well, u can do this for a modded kronos too right?
Hey look its a powerful semiautomatic r-99 from apex WOW
Need this
Hey Walcom, do you think this could fit as is, or through some modification, on a Kronos? It could be cool to even have it modded for short darts as well.
It's not designed at all for a Kronos.
I'm pretty sure the designer of this kit also made(or is working on) a version for the Kronos, whether it's available yet I'm not sure
