The Lynx was my first hobbyist grade blaster and it is phenomenal! The design is so well thought out and the accuracy was so shocking that I actually ended up getting a reflex sight to for it XD
I love the Lynx! It was the first fully 3D printed springer that I made and it works so well and looks brilliant. I'm glad to see that you like it too! 💜💛
Hey there! You've got a really informative channel. As someone new to the modding and custom blaster world I've got a request/suggestion. It would help new people a lot if you mentioned the exact options chosen for the blasters you review. What kind of spring, which barrel, what kind of 'catch' it uses (I don't even know what that is!), etc Thanks! your enthusiasm is infectious!
The Lynx is out of my budget, so I'm sticking with my AF Conquest Pro. Granted, there's never a review that doesn't make me not want a Lynx in my arsenal! The blue and orange is sooo beautiful on yours, and its ease of operation as well as power is even better! One day I'll drop the stonks for one of my own~
Yup, knew it was going to be a winner two years ago when I had my hands on it at Ragnarock. Took my Lynx, courtesy of the Foam Pro Shop team, to Atomic last month and was extremely pleased with it. Glad you put the chrony numbers up because I was puzzled at your early claim in the video. For those wondering, the Lynx easily hits 250 with a 10 kg spring load, decent seal, and longer scar-less barrel. With the scar installed (and a shorter barrel) it drops to around 235 in my experience.
@@raedien Pretty sure that the spring you're talking about is the 8kg spring, I was planning on buying it from OOD but the shipping cost is really expensive. You did say you used a 10kg spring, do you know where you got that spring from?
Love my Lynx, also got mine from SFI but I really have to experiment with springs and barrel lengths since mine's hitting lower than I'd like. There's an extended stock on thingiverse that makes it so much more comfy for people with longer arms and I recommend a pouch on your hip so you can just gravity drop the mags straight into it for convenience.
I use the thicker stock plate and enjoy it quite a bit. You'll want to check your seal if it isn't hitting how you want. The scar has an impact on fps and the blaster kinda demands fresh, quality darts. This is based on handling several beyond my own. I recommend AF half lengths.
My only issue is with the painted springs and the aluminum guide barrel in the catch, the paint has been scraping off the inside of my SF25-TC and depositing on the o-ring. Same thing is happening with the edges of the aluminum guide barrel so I get aluminum flecks on there too. That's been most of my maintenance, just popping out the catch and plunger assembly to clean flakes of material out. That being said, it was a dream to build, easy to print the parts, and I used it at a game in San Jose recently (where I met Dan himself) and it was, as Luke said, incredibly accurate and powerful. Definitely picky about darts though, AF Pros are definitely its favorite.
@@raedien like I said, I'm using the sf25-TC, which is a talon claw spring. It's recommended by Dan and used in silverfox's lynxes. Either other people have this issue and don't care or there's something wrong with mine. But you're right, the similar power spring that Dan sends out I don't recall having that issue with, that spring just eats my prints because neither end is rounded.
@@raedien hahah I definitely feel that! The lynx is easily my favorite blaster in the hobby, both aesthetically and performance wise. And heck, maintenance is a breeze too!
@@raedien If you look during the close up, you can actually see paint flakes too so i think that's just a byproduct of that spring not being specifically designed for the lynx
Commented twice on my mobile but they seemed to be either cut or something went wonky with them. A pre-built proton pack in base colors, with ring and container, without adaptors or battery/accessories is around 100 USD more than the base Lynx.
I need help with my Perses. The battery is fully charged but the blaster won’t fire, let alone rev. The Perses is my favorite blaster in my arsenal and I want to fire it again. Can you please help me?
How good does an air seal need to be to assure consistent performance? My lynx isn't nearly as good, but it'll still hold air for about 10 seconds before it has no air left in the system.
Nah he did, just shooting so many balls is way more satisfying then beings able to hit something, it's more fun to have something that's automated them manually tbh 0:44
@@outofdarts yea, they cost to much for me, i mean i have to print them and use my filament and eletricity in my country isnt that cheap, still cool products
Please, PLEASE!!! I have searched everywhere for whoever makes/sells the foregrip on your lynx. For the love of all gods, new and ancient, i beg you to plz tell me tne name of this grip and who makes the bloody thing!!! Ill name my 3rd born after y'all! (Dartface)
I am sorry but a lynx worth more than a proton pack. I am sorry I am not the most loyal to the outofdarts empire. I confess I have been watching coop and drac. I confess I have badmouthed outofdarts. I confess that I've only bought 9 outofdarts products. I confess I am depressed this video is so late. I confess I've only watched 12 outofdarts videos. I confess I've only subscribed since COVID. I confess I think Luke should move to Jangular's area. I am sorry everyone for all the bad things I've did. I hope the community can forgive me.
@@outofdarts Spring tension was too high for advertised amount of darts. Obviously that could be dealt with over time or with modification. Size was not comfortable to play with. That can be a personal thing but humans are more alike then they are different. The volume seemed like an odd choice as well. The most common competitive format in our growing hobby tends to put players at roughly 50 rounds each. Obviously you could simply run 2x25 but considering the aforementioned issues it just seemed weird you went with 29. *shrug* Just not for me.
@@raedien Thanks for your feedback! As an aside, we did release an updated spring to reduce dart compression, as further testing on springers revealed the same issue as you pointed out.

Maybe I'm just not reading your your site correctly but is there a hardware kit only for the Lynx?
@@zrman96 you can buy hardware kits from Orion Blasters.
Love my Lynx, best springer ever. Man if you can license this design to Nerf Zone or Dart Zone you would be a very rich man.
What does he have on it like spring and stuff ?

That's an amazing blaster! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Great work, Dan!

I keep seeing you in a lot of nerf videos, so much that I now see your videos dude
You're the best, Clint!
Your reptile love and nerf love make me relate to you more.

Clint on Nerf videos? Yo.
Great video, thanks Luke! And thank you Silverfox for making another lovely lynx =)

Me, who already has one: " : ) "
I love the Lynx! It was the first fully 3D printed springer that I made and it works so well and looks brilliant. I'm glad to see that you like it too! 💜💛
I've had 3D prints from everyone in the business! Silver Fox are still the best without question.
This blaster has been on the top of my primary wish list since it came out. Should really just get one.
I am literally printing out my Lynx right now as I am watching this video.
Yea this one is a definitely must have for me, when I first saw it on Walcom S7 I knew it was gonna be real good.

Sounds like you need a spring with a wider diameter. A lot of people use long shot springs but they tend to bunch up and contact the spring guide.

Is that a sf25 tc spring? Looks wider than mine
I like that front grip, it looks AMAZING. if you don't mind me asking, where did you find that?
Right‽ SilverFox Industries printed that grip along with the rest of the blaster! - Perry
everyone: ooo lynx
me: 29 round mag
Mine is getting printed.... once arrived hope I am able to put it together and have no issues :P
I love that grip.
Looks awesome! Which blue filament did Silverfox use?
Not sure how expensive it is to run a proton pack, but I would say OOD probably got the better deal

Hi! Shoot us an e-mail to orders@outofdarts.com explaining your issue. We'll be better able to diagnose your problem there. - Perry
Any springer with a proper barrel and scar combo can be the "most accurate blaster ever"
How did you get the pyrangle v5 to be a tight fit on the rail? I had to use some e6000 in there cause it was super wobbly
It's not a terribly tight fit on mine either. I might swap it for a vertical foregrip if I ever get to a game that this would shine in.
Awesome video, where can we get that scar barrel, keep up the good work
We do sell SLA scar barrels on the shop here!

Did Silver Fox print the SLA scar as well?
Nice shirt
Which filaments did you have yours printed with?
Still love it.
Hi Luke , I wanna ask how much if I ship a coolook battery and charger to Hong Kong?
Have you seen the worker swift?
We have! There's one in the studio now waiting to be tested. - Perry
That look hella sick
Nice vid
It's like a zinc in a rifle version
What games do you play? Are they like air soft?
There are several variations, but the most popular are 5v5 tournaments and Humans vs Zombies (HvZ).
How much does the Lynx weigh?
So i may have missed it but which barrel was in your lynx?
The scar or the actual barrel? - Perry
The actual barrel cus on his site theres multiple barrel selections
I'm not at the studio right now, but my guess would be the 15.5 inch barrell, as it doesn't have enough length without the Worker SLA scar. - Perry
Awesome ty
Nice
What spring was in the blaster?
I'm pretty sure it was a K25 spring. Silver fox has some special K25s that can complement the color filaments they use in the blaster.
My favorite springer is a Spaniel 😹
Is it posible to make it full dart one
Bullpup!
Finally
How heavy is the prime?
I would say it's not too heavy for the average hobbyist, and the prime feels really smooth. It does wear you out if you try to slam-fire, though.
Ty
You should sell Jupiter and proton pack hardware kits please
how can you get the priming handle like that tho?
i just think they look cooler and i really want one
