The Dauntless is truly one of the purdiest blasters I've ever seen. So wanting one, to turn into a steampunk pistol for functional cosplay. That fancy detailing be wonderful...
OMG that Dauntless is prreeeetttyyyyy! Came to see how my old friend the B'n'A would fare, not too surprised at the result. Still have mine, don't know that I'll ever get rid of it. =p
Wow I'm completely blown out of the water by the results Also I can't wait to see the med bag mod I can't wait to see that day have a spectacular day captain
I love the dauntless, but i always thought it should've been hammer prime. so i put the front of a dauntless on the back half of a double strike and make myself a 3 shot hammer prime steampunk/pirate pistol. and it looks amazing
I am building a very diverse Rebelle Loadout. 2x Sweet Revenges, 2x 4Victories, 2x Dauntlesses, 2x Pink Crushes, 2x Rapid Reds. All pistols. I want 4 hammer primers for the ease of firing and 4 direct prime for the power, and 2 flywheel for the spamming. :D
oh sweet Jesus, what i wouldn't give to get some sweet revenges. I can never find them for less that around $25 on ebay. can't wait to see what they look like when you paint them all up
I can fit 2 sweet revenges on either hip, 2 sweet revenges on my chest, 2 4victories above my butt and 2 4victories under my armpits for a total of 10 hammerprime pistols and still be able to bend over to pick up darts without everything falling off. Still got room on my back for something if I can figure out how to draw/holster it. Cargo shorts with big pockets for dart storage... All pistols came with their own holsters so you can use those (if you don't mind reverse-drawing your left handed sweet revenges) Trouble is now I have to mod and paint 10 guns! And mobility is kind of out of the window, a brisk jog is about it.
This has been a great episode for me. First, the Bow and Arrow was my first Nerf blaster. It was great to see it opened and tinkered on. This makes me want to go through stuff at my parent's house to find it. (I had a long drought between that and my first Recon.) Second, I am sort of glad to see that someone else thought that a Messenger, Dauntless, Lumante loadout was a good idea. I just need one more Dauntless and Lumante. I was slightly broken hearted to see that the Lumante didn't take K26. Oh, and an idea that just hit me as I have been having issues adjusting myself. On the blasters that take K26 or another spring upgrade, could you tell us approximate lengths or coils that you used to help some of us ballpark before we get started? Thanks as always, sir.
Captain Xavier That is what I have done in following a precious video of yours. I guess I was looking for a short cut. No short cuts in true modding I suppose.
Captain Xavier But that isn't always the final length. I just haven't gotten comfortable in trimming it down. I have one Messenger that works great, and another that is iffy. Do you suggest cutting a coil at a time, or a bit less?
Only recently found out about the dauntless myself and would love to get one. The only thing I would change on it is I'd try to make it hammer primed(Maybe see if the internals of a doublestrike or a 4 victory would fit?)
For the doubtless, could you make it a shotgun pistol? Make it like a blunderbuss pistol or, essentially a flintlock (I know it's not a flintlock design but go with me here) with grapeshot or birdshot basically, I hope you get my meaning.
Captain Xavier If the square of the hypoteneuse equals the sum of the square of the other two sides, then why is a mouse when it spins? I never could figure the answer to that one.
Where did the accent come from on the dauntless? As for the dauntless' priming handle, would a nightfinder or firestike counterpart fit? For the bow and arrow, it looked like a blazen' bow "pre-shell."
It sounded like you went New Jersey for a split second. Having a grandmother who managed to hang on to her Manhattan accent for the I don't know how many years she lived in Pasco, WA, I kind of have an ear for accents from that area.
I've never been the New Jersey in my life...I'm not even sure what a New Jersey accent sounds like. The Dauntless has a unique plunger head so I doubt they would be interchangable and it does not screw off. Yes, the Bow 'n' arrow is clearly the predecessor to the blazin bow.
How did u get a cycloneshock spring to fit in the secret shot it’s so much longer? I can’t get one to fit and won’t it lose compression over time? Sry just noob questions
random question but what do you do about painting something like the priming rod on the dauntless? I mean if you put on layers and layers of paint I'd think that would make it prime slower, but if you don't then it would scratch off immediately. this is why I just don't even attempt to repaint blasters anymore, as better as it might turn it compared to when I was 12 being an art student now
I recently thrifted a buzz bee baron, and doubled the spring up with a deploy spring. Instead of making it fire 2 megas, or rebarreling it for one elite per barrel, I had the idea of making it fire 3 elites at a time either with pvc or sledgefire shells or something, and have a real 2 shot shotgun pistol firing 3 elites at a time. I was wondering what you think of that captain xavier
OMFG Either I missed that episode, or I forgot about your sledgefire shell Baron. Naturally I added the deploy spring because I saw you do it. It does look like making a baron that loads 6 elites, and fires 3 per prime might be more work than it's worth though. Although if I ever have several lying around I might give it a shot.
Secret Shot takes TEK6, but...watch out...everything wants to jump back out. Cram the shell back on. There is no upgrade for the purse. However you can give it a few feet and fix it's consistency.
Hi Captain X, I will be selling my modified Longshot, and I do not have a Dremel. I plan to brass the breach, improve the air seal, and upgrade the spring (most likely Home Depot springs ). I was wondering how much easier it is to brass a breach with a Dremel, and how much Dremels are/where I can get them. Also, should the brass be the length of the full breach or a nerf dart? Thanks! I'll be sure to inform you how it turns out!
It depends on the type of brass breach (there are several designs) but most things are made easier with a Dremel. They vary in price greatly but can be gotten at hardware stores or online.
If you are planning on getting two Dauntless pistols, how about you make them like Duckfoot shotguns? Plus your whole Rebelle pistol loadout might as well be a Blackbeard Loadout amirite? Either way, I want to see a Dauntless fire all three barrels at once, painted to match a flintlock pirate pistol.
Have you see the new rayven it's called rayven fire I also just purchased a rayven with new motors and re wired and new switch and painted for 86 bucks good deal or not
My guesses are: no for the quatroshot, no for the purse blaster (forgot the name... Secret shot?), yes for the bow and arrow, and yes for the dauntless.
Recently found a Secret Shot at a thrift store, decided to try to do a penny mod similar to the Maverick mod. I discovered one thing: I THOROUGHLY HATE THIS BLASTER!. I have never, never had a foam shooter give me so many problems putting it back together. And once the actual blaster was back together, putting the stock back on took forever due to the dual spring loaded hinge. The irony is, during the fight, the friend I was secretly building it for called and asked me to lunch. After they hung up, the spring finally seated properly and the blaster is back together. It will take a three penny mod. Maybe more, but didn't want to press my luck.
That would be EPIC! I was planning to build a matched set for my Rebelle loadout! What will it run me and should I send you the blasters? Ping me via email! (in description!)
Captain Xavier Does it feel weird to be all the way up to 41 episodes of the series? Did you think, back when you started, that the series would go as far as it has? Oh, and my wife was stoked that you liked the fez and captain's hat she elected to send you. :P
Captain Xavier Walcom's video on The Judge was depressing as all get out, it's apparently a nightmare just to open & re-close, to say nothing of actually modding. I'd suggest having a good chat with him prior to doing that episode, maybe he can save you some headaches.
Captain Xavier I probably should have known, lol... You're kind of like your local Nerf community's version of my uncle Chris (though for him it was cars, not Nerf)- the nice guy with the great garage and spiffy tools who is always offering advice and helping people tune up their toys. :P
hi xavier, a friend referred me to your channel, and i saw that you do commissions, he said a while back that you were swamped with requests for commissions, but i was wondering if you got that all sorted out. if you did, i was wondering if you could do a commission on my nerf vulcan. i like it a lot, but its getting old. id like to make it better, but just don't know how.
I have already started one. But it got moved down the build list by other things. I think it would be cool...but not very effecting since it would not have any actually area of effect damage.
The secret shot looks really cool without the stock. It looks like an Uzi. The dauntless is just beautiful.
THE ONLY SECRET SHOT I ACKNOWLEDGE IS GREEN AND SHOOTS SURPRISE DARTS OUT OF THE HANDLE.
Shyid same
Amen, Amen
They shold make a new one
Thanks for the memory
The Dauntless is truly one of the purdiest blasters I've ever seen. So wanting one, to turn into a steampunk pistol for functional cosplay. That fancy detailing be wonderful...
I was thinking about doing it for a pirate load out
@@Strawberry92fs Yarrrrr, matey.
Just split the difference and go for a steampunk sky pirate.
Secret shot purse has slamfire. I found oyt when I got mine, i was surprised.
I absolutely love the look of the dauntless
The medkit idea is genius. And I'm excited to see your rebelle loadout.
OMG that Dauntless is prreeeetttyyyyy! Came to see how my old friend the B'n'A would fare, not too surprised at the result. Still have mine, don't know that I'll ever get rid of it. =p
I love the dauntless so damk much! It looks so cool! I really wanna get one at some point! The secret shot is absolutely rad too!
Wow I'm completely blown out of the water by the results
Also I can't wait to see the med bag mod I can't wait to see that day have a spectacular day captain
2:13 THATS MY PURSE! I DONT KNOW YOU!
ive never laughed that hard favorite review ever
I love the dauntless, but i always thought it should've been hammer prime. so i put the front of a dauntless on the back half of a double strike and make myself a 3 shot hammer prime steampunk/pirate pistol. and it looks amazing

Thanks as always, sir.
I always start by making the k26 the same length as the stock spring and shorten it from there as needed.
Captain Xavier That is what I have done in following a precious video of yours. I guess I was looking for a short cut. No short cuts in true modding I suppose.
Surely holding the stock spring up to the k26 IS the short cut...as opposed to counting out coils...
Captain Xavier But that isn't always the final length. I just haven't gotten comfortable in trimming it down. I have one Messenger that works great, and another that is iffy. Do you suggest cutting a coil at a time, or a bit less?
M'y fav show
another wonderful episode that I always wanted.
Only recently found out about the dauntless myself and would love to get one. The only thing I would change on it is I'd try to make it hammer primed(Maybe see if the internals of a doublestrike or a 4 victory would fit?)
Hammer prime would be better but not as powerful. I am including them and the Pink Crushes in the loadout for the power.
The Qautro blast was such a nightmare to assemble
For the doubtless, could you make it a shotgun pistol? Make it like a blunderbuss pistol or, essentially a flintlock (I know it's not a flintlock design but go with me here) with grapeshot or birdshot basically, I hope you get my meaning.
Guys we got 11 episodes till the 1 year anniversary of can it take a k26! Post all the silly, stupid blasters you want to see in that episode!
Don't listen to this madman! He is clearly a silly person. :P
Captain Xavier If the square of the hypoteneuse equals the sum of the square of the other two sides, then why is a mouse when it spins? I never could figure the answer to that one.
Bkzander He should a 98 crossbow
Captain Xavier IM NOT MAD! IM JUST CRAZY!

What accent?
It sounded like you went New Jersey for a split second. Having a grandmother who managed to hang on to her Manhattan accent for the I don't know how many years she lived in Pasco, WA, I kind of have an ear for accents from that area.
I've never been the New Jersey in my life...I'm not even sure what a New Jersey accent sounds like. The Dauntless has a unique plunger head so I doubt they would be interchangable and it does not screw off. Yes, the Bow 'n' arrow is clearly the predecessor to the blazin bow.
If you want a sample of a New Jersey accent, watch the Peter Dinklage interview from a Game of Thrones Comic Con panel where they ask where he's from.
How did u get a cycloneshock spring to fit in the secret shot it’s so much longer? I can’t get one to fit and won’t it lose compression over time?
Sry just noob questions
How do you take apart a barricade motor/flywheel cage
Personally? With a bandsaw...or were you wanting it to survive?
Hobby knife around the seam, dremmel for the post
random question but what do you do about painting something like the priming rod on the dauntless? I mean if you put on layers and layers of paint I'd think that would make it prime slower, but if you don't then it would scratch off immediately.

I generally don't bother painting past the point that is exposed when the blaster is not primed.

That dauntless would be a sweet steampunk cosplay prop, painted corecctly of course
Indeed. I have seen many versions and they are all gorgeous!
PLEASE SHOW US THE FINISHED DAUNTLESS!
did you know of the dauntless little sister it is a jolt that looks like a darrager
I am and I want it too!
Come on, I can't be the only person that saw the Secret-shot and thought 'that's a magpul FMG-9.'
Hey Captain! How would one go about creating a shotgun pistol out of a blaster similar to the dauntless?
Just drill out the ARs and increase the spring.
What happened to your metal bowl for screws? Captain
It is full of screws from other projects. :(
What about the *new* battlescout. Also I just found out how to do *this* as in the *bold letters.*
*nice*
*cool*
*neat*
*S P L E N D I D*
How
I wish I had a quadroblast, I got a doominator and lost the handle.
Love it and Hi Xavier remember me last time and before that
...nope.
Hi Captain X, I will be selling my modified Longshot, and I do not have a Dremel. I plan to brass the breach, improve the air seal, and upgrade the spring (most likely Home Depot springs ).

It depends on the type of brass breach (there are several designs) but most things are made easier with a Dremel. They vary in price greatly but can be gotten at hardware stores or online.
Captain Xavier thanks! Someone in Fuzzy Walrus Industries showed me a $20 one
Nice
If you are planning on getting two Dauntless pistols, how about you make them like Duckfoot shotguns? Plus your whole Rebelle pistol loadout might as well be a Blackbeard Loadout amirite?
Either way, I want to see a Dauntless fire all three barrels at once, painted to match a flintlock pirate pistol.
I have a question would you think about doing a stampede mod guide sometime in the future?
...I thought I already had...
Captain Xavier oh ok I see it sorry I mistook the internals video for something else
I integrated Rapid strike to Longshot, and firefly ti all of that. And it shoots like a rival blaster
Nice!
Thanks.Its my first Integration and I'm so happy how it ended
I dare you to figure out a cosplay where the dauntless fits in without painting it
Have you see the new rayven it's called rayven fire I also just purchased a rayven with new motors and re wired and new switch and painted for 86 bucks good deal or not
ZAPSRG considering stock rayvens fetch a hefty sum of $200 ID say yeah
Yeah, that is a heck of a deal!
I'm hoping you can be persuaded to show off that Dauntless when you're finished with it.
No! I have shown off everything else I have ever made but I will not show off that...ever. It will be for me and me alone! Mwahahahaha!
You monster!
You need to put the dauntless logo on the dauntless
My guesses are: no for the quatroshot, no for the purse blaster (forgot the name... Secret shot?), yes for the bow and arrow, and yes for the dauntless.
Close...but no. :P
One of these days I'll get it right.... One of these days...
AgentPhartz today is not one of "those days"
The dauntless would make a great shotgun pistol
i Was Incredibly Surprised that the Quadroblast Couldnt take a K26 spring while the Doominator took it PERFECTLY
Right! My thought exactly! I totally expected it to go the other way.
Yay!

Hi chaylo just wanted to say hi love your vids man keep being cool dude
Thanks!
Hey chaylo. I could do an orange and black flame hydrodip on a sweet revenge for you so it would be in your colors.
That would be EPIC! I was planning to build a matched set for my Rebelle loadout! What will it run me and should I send you the blasters? Ping me via email! (in description!)
Movie Tie-In Blasters
i have never done a electronic mod :/
Nice vid
Thanks!
Captain Xavier Does it feel weird to be all the way up to 41 episodes of the series? Did you think, back when you started, that the series would go as far as it has?
Oh, and my wife was stoked that you liked the fez and captain's hat she elected to send you. :P
I never thought it would get this far.
I love them, they are awesome!
*sees dauntless* welp time to go buy one *not on amazon* dangit
Can you turn the dauntless into a shotgun pistol
Yes...but I am not planning to.
41 already holy s**t
Pinky out like a sir lol
do you think the quatroblast has any room for a spring upgrade?
If you have the right sized spring, of course
Captain Xavier can you make a “Can it take a k-26 nerf doom lands edition”
Yes...once I get my hands on a Judge. I have 3 Doomland blasters right now. Need the 4th.
Captain Xavier Walcom's video on The Judge was depressing as all get out, it's apparently a nightmare just to open & re-close, to say nothing of actually modding. I'd suggest having a good chat with him prior to doing that episode, maybe he can save you some headaches.
Yeah...I was there when he got it...I was there when he opened it...I was the one who helped him put a Mazooka in it. :P
Captain Xavier I probably should have known, lol... You're kind of like your local Nerf community's version of my uncle Chris (though for him it was cars, not Nerf)- the nice guy with the great garage and spiffy tools who is always offering advice and helping people tune up their toys. :P
Thanks for replying
what the f is that paper in that corner doing?
Being blown by a fan.
hi
Hello
3:24 my purse is full.
What ever happened to the gears of war lance tutorials
hi xavier, a friend referred me to your channel, and i saw that you do commissions, he said a while back that you were swamped with requests for commissions, but i was wondering if you got that all sorted out. if you did, i was wondering if you could do a commission on my nerf vulcan. i like it a lot, but its getting old. id like to make it better, but just don't know how.
Sadly I am still swamped. :(
I just subescribed
:D
hey
Hi
Hi cap'n x
Hello
It's a guy of Etsy I've bought about 5 blasters off him he gives me good deals
Noice
Nerf Kronos, I want to know if it could take a K26
It can.
i wanna get a handbag nerf gun
Hmmm
sorry just had to comment to break the devils 66 comments
Cap could you build a mortar
I have already started one. But it got moved down the build list by other things. I think it would be cool...but not very effecting since it would not have any actually area of effect damage.
wow
im early this time.
Lol
Notice me xavier plez
@.o
Captain Xavier yay you replied I have been noticed, such happiness
Noticed...and judged! :P
Captain Xavier how do you judge me?
