The clone "sniper nest" outcome would actually be a really cool tactic for Star Wars-- take out the tank and start hitting it with repeating blasters just powerful enough to ricochet and shred the phalanx in front of it.
The firing at the droids was really satisfying! More of that! Big Armies Batteling! Automated contraptions that make them fire at eachothers! Cinematic battle scenes!
Man, that train design and scene was just brilliant! The wall of arrows was great too, but I wish you had done another attempt with a more fortified wall and/or where 1 person held it in place while the other launched the arrows. Thanks for sharing the fun though, it was great to see them all go off at once like plastic fireworks.
War never changes. I forget which SCP number was a bunch of living Lego, but imagine the carnage if they got their little blocky hands on this video, or even this channel.
The train part gave me an interesting idea. Could you try making a Lego machine gun that is belt-fed? You could attach the spring-shooters to a belt that is looped through using a Lego motor and as the spring-shooters reach the barrel, you can have one of the slope things setup to make them fire. Could be really satisfying and a cool build.
If you have a 20×20 panel or 20×20 worth of blocks put together, each hole in the back should correspond with one arrow. Put some blocks on as a handle and carefully line it up to fire them all at almost the exact same time instead of row by row
using the bottoms of blocks/plates would need some size adjustment bc bricks are taller than they are wide. technic bricks stacked up would be slightly easier as the holes should already line up
If you were to build another wall like that and place it *right* behind the arrows and make sure that all arrows enter that wall at a very low distance (probably no more than 2-3mm?) then you could press down with that second wall and shoot all 400 at once rather than going row by row :)
that looks fun! If my calculations are correct, compensating for the amount of launchers vs the amount of arrows, and taking into account the history of these arrows along with a bit of personal experience, I estimate you will have about 27 left after a year, and you will find a total of 6 behind the couch the year after!
can you PLEASE make a train that has an activating mechanism on it, that interacts with stationary shooter walls in a similar curved setup. then you can add a bunch of guys in the middle of the circle and all the shooter walls will be angled towards them! I think it would be so satisfying.
Very satisfying but I must say I have always appreciated the design for these spring loaded shooters for their effect, despite what many might say. I just hope they don't fade out too soon, or at least remain affordable value.
Fantastic! The train version looked the best imo. It has potential as well to have two rows firing at the same time or alternate them (have a gap in the top row while bottom row fires and vice versa).
Idea: Make something like a gatling gun where you have the spring shooters in a chain (using track pieces probably) and have it shoot like the train one, could be cool
First time I got a set with one of these in it, I didn't realize just how punchy the spring was and proceeded to launch the projectile across my room, where it promptly disappeared into the same dimension that lost socks and other small Lego pieces go to.
This actually reminds me a bit of the Korean hwacha. It was like a medieval 'rocket artillery' from 100+gunpowder driven rockets all lighted by a single fuse.
@@brickstorybuilds9664 0:12 I just got a smaller box like that on the right from IKEA and there was big ones like that there too so did you get it from IKEA also?
The train reminds me of a clip in a gun, very cool. As for simultaneous firing, you would need a second "wall". The first wall holds the arrows, the second one is made of bricks with holes. These holes would line up with the arrows and, when moved, should fire all the arrows at the same time. 👍
You could probably make them all fire simultaneously if you rigged up a wall of bricks with holes in em and lined up the holes with the ends of the projectiles
Brilliant video! I was hoping you would use the holes of technic pieces in a 20 x 20 grid to push the backs of each shooter down at the same time. I don’t know how easy the alignment would be on that…
Exactly my thought! It should be possible to rig an actual full broadside that way... Given how cheap they are I might actually have to buy some and do that...
I can imagine building a giant frame out of technic beams that slot over each of the bolts, so you only need to move it a nudge and every bolt fires simultaneously
To make them all fire simultaneously, you could build basically what the last one was but have a 1-2 brick gap between each row. Then make duplicate structure with the slanted bricks instead of launchers. Then just align the slanted brick structure with the gaps and press down to hit all the shooters at once. Should also probably cut down on the amount that didn't launch properly as well.
I wonder if you could make a backboard that used the same slope idea as the train for the 400 square? So that you could just press the two parts together and then every shooter fires all at once!
If you dropped the block of 400, would the shock cause most or all to fire at once or is the projectile so light they get held in by the springs? That way you could really get them all to fire simultaneously. You could build a shroud around the block to make it fall predictably :D
Have it fall onto a panel of slopes in strips that correspond with the rows of the spring loaded shooters. So as it falls, in a frame like your idea using gravity, the slopes would also use gravity to shift every projectile up a bit from the fall. They shoot straight up with this idea though, and that's not ideal.
You know, seeing that train portion, you could make a gun of sorts that shoots the missles with the launch mechanism acting like a casing. Just need to have something push the pseudo cartridge up, a ramp depresses/fires the missle, and then the spent cartridge is ejected.
Could there possibly be a way to design a contraption that fires them in a rotating stack? Much like a gatling gun, where rotating the barrel into places triggers the firing. You could perhaps make a crank, then put that firing pin you had the clones sit on sit behind the crank, and when the spring loaded block turns into place, it fires as it’s released from the spring. I’m sure it’s possible, I just don’t have the mechanical know how to do it myself
Would be cool if you had a contraption that would push on all of them at once, i think this can be done with some bars across each layer that has a second mechanism to move it down so it hits everything at the exact same time.
Alright, the train one is actually the best use of spring shooters i’ve ever seen

The train firing like a bloody machine gun was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen
My first thought when seeing the train was a giant machine gun MOC which uses the train as a belt to feed it ammo
It's got me wondering if someone has ever made a build using these as a missile pod, would be great on an armored train.

This is one of the most satisfying videos I've ever watched. That train made the 501st look like they're firing an LMG.
I love how the addition of 400 of them makes enough recoil to knock the entire device over.
Isn't it rather the moment of force generated by pushing downwards offset to the base?
Classic move by the stormtroopers to miss that droid.
It cost 400 thousand dollars to fire this weapon, for 12 seconds....
400 * 0.07 on average is not equal to 400 000 dollars.
What was your math?

You should build a Gatling gun from these. Using the entire shooter piece as the casing in an ammo chain style loader.
If you have a 20×20 panel or 20×20 worth of blocks put together, each hole in the back should correspond with one arrow. Put some blocks on as a handle and carefully line it up to fire them all at almost the exact same time instead of row by row
Thats what I was thinking. Or even a grid of technic.
using the bottoms of blocks/plates would need some size adjustment bc bricks are taller than they are wide. technic bricks stacked up would be slightly easier as the holes should already line up
Shooting everything simultaneously should produce significant recoil. I want to know how big of a kick that would be.

That's practically a clip-fed machine gun.
That train trick could be genuinely useful for brickfilms.
That train was pure genius, so satisfying to watch.
I'd suggest you to use a wall of beams with technic holes on them so you can fire all of them at once by moving that instead.
Very satisfying but I must say I have always appreciated the design for these spring loaded shooters for their effect, despite what many might say. I just hope they don't fade out too soon, or at least remain affordable value.
You need to make a grid shaped trigger for the wall to fire all of its arrows truly at once

I think a good use for these is make black projectiles and then put a bunch on the side of a pirate ship set so that you can broadside other ships
using trains as basically a belt fed magazine was awesome.
