In airsoft we weight the pistons on our snipers and AEGs to get more power out of a spring with a certain weight of BB, which the Nerf community seems to not know about. We usually wrap our pistons with solder, glue, and heat shrink and chrono until we lose FPS. Maybe be worth a try, but you seem to be getting a taste of that with that metal piston.
I had heard that people chasing high rate of fire builds like to lighten their Airsoft piston to avoid PME, did not know on the opposite end that people add weight. Interesting.
@@BradleyPhillipsYT It is a very serious thing among snipers, where you will usually start at 20-30g and wind up at 50-75g. Some people end up at 150g, but that is usually way too heavy and is more likely a way to cheat chrono with joule creep.
@SiliconeSword sounds hella interesting, but also hella confusing. Would you mind doing a vid explaining it/ demonstrating? I'll be subscribed just in case
We used #8 washers instead with rounded out hot glue tips for optimal fps, aero, and stability. I'm 25 and been modding since 2007, back then we started using foam backer rod to make our own cheap (what were called Stefan darts) -- the basics of it are just cutting to the size of a talon dart, using the tip of a hot glue gun to burn an air hole in the back of the dart, then putting #8 washers on the front end of the dart, attaching it with hot glue and rounding out the tip of that dart the best you can. It sounds like a lot but it gets to where you're doing hundreds very quickly and it costs you practically nothing.
@@jacobarnet5115 I've been keeping an eye on the Nerf community pretty well for probably the past 8 years and remember Stefans and people loving the core of the Extreme Blastzooka for chucking in a Retaliator. I did a bit of modding myself, but never did much other than rebarrels, ammo conversions, and HPA conversions. Never really played much, not a huge thing in my area. I'm referencing piston weight, as it seems that with a heavier dart you want a heavier piston. There's lots of variables like barrel length/diameter and cylinder dimensions, but it's easy enough to add weight and chrono until you lose FPS. That way you can harness all the power from your spring and maybe make the gun not break itself as fast.
My harrier only gets near 300+ with the 450mm barrel and that 1.6x300 spring, so to get those numbers on the 365mm barrel I definitely think the sabre plunger rod provided some help.
Is Bradley using bamboo darts or standard gen 3+ darts? The bamboo darts tend to give higher fps so that could be why. He mentioned that he was using bamboo for the accuracy tests
What scope is that @BradleyPhillipsYT What would be good for say 20m-30m Spina optics lpvo 1.5x-5x 20mm or Bushnell 3x - 9x 40mm Or do you recommend something else for the harrier for that distance
You're spot on with the interesting observation about heavier plungers there Mr P; when the plunger in my brassed Sentinel broke at the point where the catch caught it, I had to hand cut and fit an aluminum piece to fish onto the end of the pl;unger and fix it. On a cut down length of worker 28n spring the fps when up from 170 to well over (200, depending on dart). Why? I think it's the momentum of the heavier plunger being able to KEEP it's velocity as it compresses the air in the plunger tube. One thing i may get round to doing is to test sealed breech springers I've had for a while, (Retal and Falconfire are prime candidates), and see what adding weight to the plunger does to fps. Maybe just duct-tape lengths of aluminium rod around the shaft of the plunger in 10gramme increments?
@@BradleyPhillipsYT Well, I've been meaning to put it on the "to do" list for ages. Soon as this damned degree is finished, I might even get round to doing it!
I've had similar results from using heavier plunger-rods in the NEXUS PRO. No idea why. It's a full custom job. The last thing I reinforced. It hadn't broken, but it wasn't as consistent as I thought it should be. I'm using a compound spring setup that I wish could say was my idea.
Interesting that you encountered so much difficulty getting one into Aus. I know Blastertech has had them since March or so when I got mine. Great review.
In QLD I believe they can get an import permit for Nerf which helps. In SA our police say it isn't required and refuse to issue one, and then ABF seize it anyway.
The one thing the swift has over the harrier is priming at higher spring loads, the swift has a longer prime making it easier to prime higher spring loads, everything is much better though
I'll have to borrow my friend's Swift again at the next game, but from my recollection the prime weight of a similar spring to the Harrier's 1.6x300 spring was pretty brutal, and in my Harrier I was pretty comfy, and even more so after installing the bearing prime slide part.
i would just like to point out , I have a harrier and with a scar ballerel and stock ballerel ,the iron sights are very accurate ,but yes you do have to shove your face on the stock
For best fps and accuracy we used #8 washer tips on darts instead with rounded out hot glue tips for optimal fps, aero, and stability. I'm 25 and been modding since 2007, back then we started using foam backer rod to make our own cheap (what were called Stefan darts) -- the basics of it are just cutting to the size of a talon dart, using the tip of a hot glue gun to burn an air hole in the back of the dart, then putting #8 washers on the front end of the dart, attaching it with hot glue and rounding out the tip of that dart the best you can. It sounds like a lot but it gets to where you're doing hundreds very quickly and it costs you practically nothing.
I like the bolt prime especially for heavier spring loads. I do however just have the bolt threaded through the vertical foregrip so I have the option of bolt and pump priming.
1.6 spring, using the 550mm, I get around 260-270fps. I can prime it with the pump, but I find my arm is a lot less tired with repeated frantic priming and firing.
Honestly I completely agree. Sure, the pump grip is faster, but imo it is easier to use the bolt on the heaviest spring because its more parallels to one's rear deltoid, and it also gives an awesome emotional response (in the words of coop772).
Nice review as always mate…..I’ve got to get my hands on this sabre plunger rod…..wish I could get the full Sabre M20X but the Harrier is more than a worthy substitute, few more Marvel statues to sell before I get one of those 😆
Dude..?! With that biggest spring, it was like....Wap.Bap. How far was that target away, like 10m. If I'm gestimating correctly.? That's closing in on beebee velocity.
@@BradleyPhillipsYT I haven't found one.. Using 1.6x300 with 20mm spacer. Bearing prime upgrade done. Performs better with bamboo 2.0. Can't wait for the sabre plunger to show up. Also have AkBlastermods upgraded catch
@@paullassahn4641 you have to keep in mind Dart Zone Bamboo and Bamboo 2.0 are both lighter than standard half length darts. That could explain higher fps.
@@BradleyPhillipsYTI know but there's less barrel drag with longer barrel because they impart less friction. The highest fps with regular darts was with the 1.6x300 & 450mm barrel according to OOD. I'm thinking of trying a Swift or baize spring to get better results
Yo Bradley, not sure if requested before, possible to show an 30m accuracy test for the Harrier on a bcar with the top 2 strongest springs (250 and 300), on the 450mm aluminum barrel available for the Harrier? As for the bcar, you may use the one fitted for the 300 fps Storm AEG review or any bcar you find that works best for the Harrier. Thanks!
Finally got the money set aside for mine, arriving tomorrow. Took a year but i gotbtonlet everyone else destroy theirs through trial and error first so i know what setups to go with
So i got into this youtube-funnel trying to explore which nerf gun could replace my broken one. I used it to play with my cat as it doesn't shoot that hard and my cat loves it. I dont think this is the route I should be taking.
Also I’ve got the big spring and big barrel and have shot maybe 50 times and still haven’t had a problem with the plastic plunger so maybe the fixed the issue 🤷♂️
Oddly enough, I have been having seal issues with the harrier recently. I used it for about 2 months with no issues, but recently, some darts have way lower velocity, and the blaster makes an odd "pthoo" noise when firing. I tested the seal and it has about a minute seal, which is odd, and the darts I used were new worker gen 3+ darts
This is mostly associated to bad darts (new or old regardless). I can replicate this on many of my blasters. More noticable on higher fps. Atleast 90% of my new worker glow HE gen3 plus cause this. Appears most common on worker HE darts.
@@TheN3crons Oh thank God, I thought it was a seal issue. I was using glow darts for flywheelers and I completely forgot that despite also being Gen 3+, they had consistency issues. I will stick to using them in flywheelers, and I have bamboo darts on the way that I will use exclusively with the harrier.
Amazing review man! I picked mine up in the US two weeks ago and have seen some crazy improvement with a 16mm BCAR that i found on thingverse. It's pretty insane.... Where did you get the 300 FPS spring?
how in the heck did you get that 1.6/300mm spring to work in the harrier. has it actually got something to do with the metal plunger rod? My 1.6 300mm spring just bends and dies when I put it in and then I can't prime it...
I’ve tried heaps of barrel and spring combos. I’ve settled in the 450mm barrel a 1.6 300 spring with a 20mm spacer. Average with bamboos is 305fps Dragon darts up to 330fps I’ve used it in Sydney Nerf events. Anything 30m is point and blast I bought a Baize at the same time , obviously it sits in the corner. Soo many upgrades needed😢
@@BradleyPhillipsYT yeah stock internals. I even cut a swift 1.8 spring to 300mm and used it for a while but it was pretty harsh when fired. I tried the 550 and 450 then cut the 550 to 500mm and still ended up with the 450 being the best
Update I installed the sabre plunger and put the cut down swift 1.8 spring in. With my 500mm barrel and bt v2 scar it averages : Bamboos 330 Glow tip dragons believe it or not 370 the highest reading was 384 , not accurate though
Hey mate, Order a harrier today. It will probably arrive next week. Fingers crossed. I also ordered the 300mm spring. I've been looking around, and I became curious. I was wondering if you might be able to do a couple of tests. I was thinking, What would happen if you put a 1.6 or 1.8 350mm spring from a worker swift in the harrier. I'd assume that a sabre metal plunger and catch would be required as well. I reckon 350fps wouldn't be out of the question for the harrier, provided it can withstand the punishment. Thoughts?
whats the red dot sight you use in tis video ? also I have the same numbers with the same setup except still original plunger, sabre one is in the mail
Great vid. Got this blaster added to basket while i look around a bit more. My kid wants an accurate sniper blaster with a scope + scope camera ( so he can show off his hits ) so he can shoot targets in the field outside our house from as far away as possible. I dont know anything about blasters and even less about where to start with the scope camera thing. Any suggestions? ( we are in the UK if that Makes a difference )
This is a good option. For scope camera I'd suggest the Runcam Scope Cam which you can mount on top of the scope or on the picatinny rail in front of it.
I got mine on day one and i am absolutely loving mine. Sold my swift to get it. I am getting the same numbers as you and im using the stock plunger tube.
Just wondering how low you can go with FPS on these? I enjoyed your video on the Sweetheart Storm getting down to 100fps. Would it be possible to get a Harrier under 160fps?
For that you'd need a very weak spring or very short barrel, shorter than the blaster itself. I'd suggest the new Worker Seagull instead for your needs.
My Worker Harrier air seal lasts about 10 seconds with the "hand test". Is that an issue? Should I return it, fix it or not worry about it? I'm new to the sport and have no way of telling if it is affecting performance.
Hey Bradley I been watching you for a while, I was wondering, if i want to buy a more powerful blaster than a nerf, would you recommend me getting a dart blaster or an airsoft blaster? And which model would you recommend?
This is a smaller, more compact Swift with threaded barrels and quick takedown. It's better in pretty much every way. I haven't had my Swift in quite a while.
@@BradleyPhillipsYT the prime definently looks smoother on this but I think the durability of the 4.0 plunger rod is better but there hasn't been alot of above 300 fps testing of the 4.0
@@BradleyPhillipsYT Ta. You went all out, I was looking on aliexpress, but the sig options on that site look pretty special also. US pricing tho by the look of it, might be out of my ball park.
It's strange how your Harrier came with thumbscrews, no one else I know got thumbscrews, instead the crappy worker screws haha. Also good call with the Sabre plunger, I'll be picking one up soon, also, the metal roller catches and mag releases should be coming in about a month.

i just got the sabre plunger and found no real improvement with it.using the 1.6 and 365 barrel im only getting a max of 272 with the avg of 265 with gen 3.
@@BradleyPhillipsYT ehhh I got some scrap and tools in my backyard along with a welder. I'd just need too buy some internals like plunger and stuff and I could throw something together.
Its not the rifling not imparting enuff spin on the darts, its the bamboo darts ur using - the groove sections are smaller in diameter therefore string n bearing scars sometimes cannot put enuff pressure on those sections. Worker bamboo darts also wear out alot faster compared to worker normal ones due to the thicker sections getting wear out/thin out faster resulting in very erratic accuracy when using scars bcars. Will have to replace ur worker bamboo very frequently if you use bscar/scar to prevent accuracy loss over time or make sure ur bscar/scar r not the optimized types in the amount of pressure it puts on the darts.
Fair enough, I would love it if you came up to Queensland and played some skirmish is on the Gold Coast we have a heap of good ones, there is a couple milsim events coming up soon as well

This is a good option. For scope camera I'd suggest the Runcam Scope Cam which you can mount on top of the scope or on the picatinny rail in front of it.
Hi Bradley, how would you compare the harrier and Kirin in terms of build quality?
Similar, though the main difference is one being bolt action and one being pump action. That's the biggest decision point between the two.
I got mine on day one and i am absolutely loving mine. Sold my swift to get it. I am getting the same numbers as you and im using the stock plunger tube.
Do you like this more than the Bradley Phillips Caliburn?
fill the gap in the plunger with A-B glue .

It appears to be a Worker vertical grip.
Hi what is the size for scope railing on top? Is it 20mm or 11mm? And do you suggest to change into metal plunger?
20mm, and metal parts are always good for durability
Just wondering how low you can go with FPS on these? I enjoyed your video on the Sweetheart Storm getting down to 100fps. Would it be possible to get a Harrier under 160fps?
For that you'd need a very weak spring or very short barrel, shorter than the blaster itself. I'd suggest the new Worker Seagull instead for your needs.
My Worker Harrier air seal lasts about 10 seconds with the "hand test". Is that an issue? Should I return it, fix it or not worry about it? I'm new to the sport and have no way of telling if it is affecting performance.
10 seconds is plenty
Thank you!
@@BradleyPhillipsYT
are these high powered nerfs legal in QLD like gel blasters?
Yes, sure are
Hey mate just wondering what the max distance you could comfortably get hits at with this blaster?
Probably 50M or so before it comes more to chance
Hey Bradley I been watching you for a while, I was wondering, if i want to buy a more powerful blaster than a nerf, would you recommend me getting a dart blaster or an airsoft blaster? And which model would you recommend?
If Airsoft is legal in your country, get Airsoft. The reason we use gel blasters and Nerf blasters here is because Airsoft is illegal.
Do you know of any airsoft blaster you could recommend?
@@raulantonioguerrero6208 I don't have first hand experience with any of them, but I'd go with some kind of AEG to start with.
Hey! Nice gun! Just a question, Do you know what the scope you have is?
It's a Holosun HS506
do you by chance have a link?
A comparison with the swift would have been a nice extra in this review.
This is a smaller, more compact Swift with threaded barrels and quick takedown. It's better in pretty much every way. I haven't had my Swift in quite a while.
I would agree. This is a sleeker swift 2.0.
Just got my Harrier on Friday :) Are you still using the worker adjustable riser?
I tend to just aim higher rather than bother using it
Out of curiosity what sight are you using for your harrier setup? Been looking for a good optic for mine
I'm using a real steel Holosun HS506 but generally I'd recommend a cheap red dot Airsoft sight for around $40 on Amazon or eBay
365 mm barrel?
Brad, I thought you said chronoing your blaster without a SCAR was cheating XD
The video I said that I'm pretty sure I was using a bearing scar which doesn't even affect fps
@@BradleyPhillipsYT actually yeah it was a Bcar on the sweetheart.
What do you think is better this or the dzp mi 4.0
Definitely this
@@BradleyPhillipsYT the prime definently looks smoother on this but I think the durability of the 4.0 plunger rod is better but there hasn't been alot of above 300 fps testing of the 4.0
@@trentencraig5622 time will tell, but you could buy two Harriers for the price of a Mk4 here so if the plunger breaks you're still one blaster up.
Which is the best bcar for this blaster ?
Best bang for your buck I'd say is the new flag and armour CNC metal one.
Would anyone run a trion over a harrier?
Maybe if they prefer the look of the Trion
Where did you get your optic?
Opticsplanet
@@BradleyPhillipsYT Ta. You went all out, I was looking on aliexpress, but the sig options on that site look pretty special also. US pricing tho by the look of it, might be out of my ball park.
It's strange how your Harrier came with thumbscrews, no one else I know got thumbscrews, instead the crappy worker screws haha. Also good call with the Sabre plunger, I'll be picking one up soon, also, the metal roller catches and mag releases should be coming in about a month.
I'm guessing it's the later batches or something, whether that's Frontline Foam only I'm not sure on.
It's frontline foam, it's a $5 accessory they sell
Derrikk uses those on his Harrier so he can take it down on the field. I assume he just threw them in for you haha
BRO AWESOME VIDEO. !!! I WANT TO BUY THIS GUN JUST FOR IN-HOUSE USE. SHOOTING TARGETS AND HAVING FUN WITH MY SON. WILL THAT BE GREAT YOU THINK ? THANKS ALOT FOR YOUR VIDEO
Hi bro, may i know what scope u using on that blaster n where can I get it?….
It's called a Holosun HS506.
i just got the sabre plunger and found no real improvement with it.using the 1.6 and 365 barrel im only getting a max of 272 with the avg of 265 with gen 3.
Those are the non-bamboo version of Worker darts, right? Interesting.
Bp i luv ya mate❤.... thank you
Feeding the algorithm
Going to trade in my SIG spear for a Harrier. Worker QC > SIG QC. 😂
Maybe one day Aus gov will make all nerf dart blasters Cat. A firearm lol
Don’t say that. You will give them ideas. 😆
Honestly as an Australian I could just make my own springer for cheaper.
What would you make?
@@BradleyPhillipsYT ehhh I got some scrap and tools in my backyard along with a welder. I'd just need too buy some internals like plunger and stuff and I could throw something together.
@@akirausagi8275 Welder? Sounds like it would be a heavy blaster.
@@OZTutoh nah, welding can be light. It'll be full metal ala pipe guns from fallout.
Its not the rifling not imparting enuff spin on the darts, its the bamboo darts ur using - the groove sections are smaller in diameter therefore string n bearing scars sometimes cannot put enuff pressure on those sections. Worker bamboo darts also wear out alot faster compared to worker normal ones due to the thicker sections getting wear out/thin out faster resulting in very erratic accuracy when using scars bcars. Will have to replace ur worker bamboo very frequently if you use bscar/scar to prevent accuracy loss over time or make sure ur bscar/scar r not the optimized types in the amount of pressure it puts on the darts.
The worker rifling is suboptimal even for standard Worker darts though.
you should do more 3d printed reviews
Any blaster in particular?
@@BradleyPhillipsYT a review of the SBL by gavin fuzzy would be cool.
Next Australia will ban silverware and you'll have to eat your food like a dog on the floor.
i am a toy =)
YEAHHHHH
First. Reeeeee!
buy a 3d printer
Is there a particular 3D printed blaster you would like to see?
@@BradleyPhillipsYT no, buy a 3d printer
@@Fynn_baxter I actively try to avoid having 3D printed parts on my blasters. Your idea seems counter intuitive.
Fair enough, I would love it if you came up to Queensland and played some skirmish is on the Gold Coast we have a heap of good ones, there is a couple milsim events coming up soon as well
What optic are you using
