Thanks Albert :) I would like to see it too, unfortunately cannot afford such equipment :) I did number of tests - compared no rifling vs this. There is defo a difference but with certain brands only. Some dart brands seems inaccurate no matter what I do. For other - I defo feel rifling is working cause difference is noticeable.
not even a minute in, noticed the trigger discipline, and also checking the chamber before a dryfire to ensure there was nothing in the chamber, very good.
I love this thing. The fact that it can fire full auto, without any motors, shows some real engineering went into this. The HK slap is a really nice touch too! I'd personally make the bolt release handle a little bigger for even better slapability ✋
Really ingenious solution to regular nerf guns not having any blowback, so requiring motors to be automatic. The only improvements I can think of is smoothing down and miniaturizing the shells, and maybe replacing the bulky rubber bands with springs to wrap around the dart, which would be discreet but also probably more powerful. So then the smaller shells would allow more to fit in a magazine, and maybe even increase the firerate if I'm understanding the basic function correctly.
I think the main problem with miniaturizing and using springs would be strength of the prints. You might have to start machining at least the cartridges out of something, maybe Delrin
Ingenius! I always thought about a design where the energy required to cycle the mechanism is stored in the shell or the magazine :O Thank you for realising this design
So smart using the shells as the firing mech! I would have never thought something like this was possible! Stinks the shells are so big but I assume that's necessary for it to get any kinda power from the bands. I absolutely love it though.
Very cool, we had completely overlooked rubber bands for shell ejection! We might be able to incorporate rubber bands into our Lil' Thumper shell fed pistol design, so we don't need a modded spring from a power popper! Awesome 😃👍
Amazing work! So very unique too! Now I can't help but think what fun a sized-up MegaXL-firing version of this might be like. Ooh wait, if you figure out how to make this design a revolver that looks like Hellboy's Samaritan? You'd be a hit! Hell, I'd be your best customer and cheerleader.
not only does this look cooler than most nerf blasters but it also looks like it would be more fun to play with. Idk why but for some reason blasters with low ammo count seem more fun to me.
A good way to integrate it into the meta would be to miniaturize it and rail mount it... would be good for hvz, especially with megaxl or mega shotty shells
bravo on the design. that shell is absolutely massive, looks like 50mm or so. while i dont think it would be reasonably possible a smaller diameter would be neat.
That kicks an unbelievable amount of ass. Now I'm getting all sorts of ideas. Capacity wise, would this work better as a clip/drum fed blaster? And what if you use springers to get some genuine high performance out of this?
@@leblasto Another thing that could be possible since you're using shells would be a double stacked mag. Still, even with a 10 shot capacity this would become a must have for me.
It would be awesome to get the brand of rubber bands used in this video, not to mention maybe a semi auto variant? I dunno, maybe one with realistic select fire?
This is absolutely brilliant. Any velocity readings for the darts, and could it perhaps fire other ammo types? (I'm thinking of putting in Ultra darts since they're a bit chunkier...)
This is an incredible proof of concept but I feel something of this scale would need to fire at least 3 half darts or a few rival rounds effectively to really make the sheer size worth it. It's absolutely beautiful overall though and the mechanisms function great, fantastic work and I'm really impressed by the amount of effort put in.
Im curious if the shells could be shrunk down at all. Only method I can think of is if the Bands are replaced with springs, but maybe that defeats the purpose of being easily made.
This is amazing! Out of interest, did you take inspiration from "simunition" training rounds? The telescoping cartridge concept for blowback is very similar and it's impressive that you've managed to pull this off!
For your next design i think maybe instead of using rubber band propulsion the firing pin pushes a mechanism that pushes the dart into some flywheels, its probably more complicated than that but hey the design is with a shot. Also you SHOULD have more subs than me, the fact you dont is a crime.
Actually with fly wheels it would be much less complicated. I did this on purpose because I wanted fully mechanical blaster where all the energy is contained inside a single shell. If you are familiar with real firearms - you will notice that it works exactly like this. No electronics, pure mechanics :)
Yeah there should totally be a warhammer 40k bolter version of this...and something chainfed.
Sweet work!
Absolutely
For the Emperor
aside from a bit of cosmetics and deleting the stock it basically already is a bolter
Bolter is microrocket gun w/o shells (cartridges)
@@exliesky no
Imagine having this, i would screaming in the Nerf wars "FOR THE EMPEROR"
Yes
„Für den Kaiser!“
Yes same although id be screaming "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD"
The fate of xenos, mutants and Heretics are one and the SAME
@@Dj_Dedf1sh117 uh oh! You just did a heresy! Please hold position while the inquisition comes to reintroduce you to the emperors light.
That rifling effect looks interesting. Would love to see slowmo of the darts spinning or longer range tests! Great work engineering this!

It is so wonderful to install a blowback power source in a cartridge case and develop a mechanism like a real gun. Great work!
Someone should make this gas powered
at this point just make a real gun that fires foam darts
not even a minute in, noticed the trigger discipline, and also checking the chamber before a dryfire to ensure there was nothing in the chamber, very good.
No batteries 😮 you're a genius
The problem is that I'd assume the bands are gonna get loose in a much shorter time than springs.
yeah thats my one concsern
Yes but rubber bands are cheap
@@MeatMonger_ and taking it apart is pretty easy so its no issue
I love this thing. The fact that it can fire full auto, without any motors, shows some real engineering went into this. The HK slap is a really nice touch too! I'd personally make the bolt release handle a little bigger for even better slapability ✋
This is so cool. Those shells are huge!

This is an adeptus astartes boltr. it's meant to have big shells.
the size of the shell and the mag reminds me of a 40k bolter. Looks cool!!
“ITS THE EMPEROR OR NOTHING!”
This is awesome. Well done!
As i firearms nerd I aprove this toy. Very close to a real design.
Definitely one of the most unique blaster designs I have ever seen! If this could shoot at 200FPS, I'd build one immediately!
bruh how you managed to make a full semi-auto purely mechanical dart blaster in of itself is an innovation on nerf, congrats!
Ingenius! I always thought about a design where the energy required to cycle the mechanism is stored in the shell or the magazine :O
Thank you for realising this design
The shells are so huge. Reminds me of a warhammer 40,000 bolter
FOR THE EMPEROR!
FOR THE EMPEROR AND SANGUINUIS.
So smart using the shells as the firing mech! I would have never thought something like this was possible! Stinks the shells are so big but I assume that's necessary for it to get any kinda power from the bands. I absolutely love it though.
My friend, you just made a bolter, the emperor approves
This is my favorite 3D printing project ever
Incredible work. You, sir, are a freakin' legend.
Very cool, we had completely overlooked rubber bands for shell ejection! We might be able to incorporate rubber bands into our Lil' Thumper shell fed pistol design, so we don't need a modded spring from a power popper! Awesome 😃👍
This is quite impressive. Some great work getting this thing operating smooth

This is one of the coolest things I've seen!
Dude made a 40k bolter on accident, massive applause and I really want a nerf Mega version of this now.
Jams are super easy to clear, you just rack the charging handle
This guy made a literal bolter that’s so cool
Dude that system is genious, amazing work
With a bit of work I could see this being an amazing Warhammer 40k bolt pistol replica
I love this and everything about it. Finally something new in our field. Thank you!
Dude. This is awesome. Excellent work
This is absolutely wild! How have I not seen this!?
The holy bolter.
*FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!*
Just picked up the files for this and can't wait to print it.
cheers! let me know if you need any advice with printing/troubleshooting :)
First vid, only vid. Im subscribing. THIS IS WHY I WANT TO GET INTO MAKER CRAFT!!!
Eyy, I saw this on reddit a while back! Super cool work!
awesome, mechanical beauty 😍
I love seeing things that younger me would have loved
Mechanicus adeptus engineering at its finest
*Really* cool stuff! Super unique!
this is top tier toy engineering
Man created a heavy bolter
The Emperor of Mankind approves
this is so impractical, I love it.
That’s awesome.
Need a pump action one using 40MAX shells.
Thats just a bolter and i love it
not only does this look cooler than most nerf blasters but it also looks like it would be more fun to play with. Idk why but for some reason blasters with low ammo count seem more fun to me.
This is absolutely AWESOME.
Cool bolter bro
Man built a Nerf Bolter
Self ejecting cartridge system without any pressure-based propellant like gas or gunpowder, just pure fucking genius
A good way to integrate it into the meta would be to miniaturize it and rail mount it... would be good for hvz, especially with megaxl or mega shotty shells
bravo on the design. that shell is absolutely massive, looks like 50mm or so. while i dont think it would be reasonably possible a smaller diameter would be neat.
At least the size of a 40mm grenade
Neat, and even more impressive that it fires from a closed bolt, but desperately needs a higher fire rate.
"In this episode, we're gonna show you how to neck down a 20mm cannon shell casing to Nerf dart caliber for maximum insanity."
A warhammer bolted designs would be really cool
Actual simunitions use a similar expanding case system to make the firearms that use them reliably cycle.
That kicks an unbelievable amount of ass. Now I'm getting all sorts of ideas. Capacity wise, would this work better as a clip/drum fed blaster? And what if you use springers to get some genuine high performance out of this?
I am thinking about drum mag :)
@@leblasto Another thing that could be possible since you're using shells would be a double stacked mag. Still, even with a 10 shot capacity this would become a must have for me.
The Emperor is pleased of your action, gran Tech Priest of Mars
THANK GOD i wasnt the only person who saw this and was like
"FOR THE EMPEROR."
^
Excellent design, very smart! I need to get me a 3D printer!
This is brilliant dude, guess I'm designing I new blaster now
With refinements to the shells, you could make something with a higher capacity and fire rate.
It would be awesome to get the brand of rubber bands used in this video, not to mention maybe a semi auto variant? I dunno, maybe one with realistic select fire?
My man just 3D-Printed a Bolter gun. Amazing!
All these arm chair engineers lmao.
Ingenious design! Has a very 40k vibe to it. Just how long and how much material did it take to print? Lol
What in the grim dark 40k universe is this!?
This is absolutely brilliant. Any velocity readings for the darts, and could it perhaps fire other ammo types? (I'm thinking of putting in Ultra darts since they're a bit chunkier...)
hey, it is 60-80 using resistance bands. Fitting ultra can be a challenge to due complex mechanics inside the shell.
@@leblasto and also having to fit more in the a slightly smaller area due to the dart being biggee
"KILL THE XENO'S! PURGE THEE UNCLEAN!"
We need a coop review
BOLTER FIRE BROTHERS!
This is an incredible proof of concept but I feel something of this scale would need to fire at least 3 half darts or a few rival rounds effectively to really make the sheer size worth it. It's absolutely beautiful overall though and the mechanisms function great, fantastic work and I'm really impressed by the amount of effort put in.
Man really said *pulls out comically large shells*
Nice work and even has the hk slap you need to get into gun manufacturing
IT'S A BOLTER! IMPERIUM AETERNA!
It already exist sometging like that in merf but its not auto matic eject so nice job
What a chunky gun
I wonder if you could somhow make a multi dart shell for this
it is coolest toy i ever seen!
Im curious if the shells could be shrunk down at all. Only method I can think of is if the Bands are replaced with springs, but maybe that defeats the purpose of being easily made.
Springs and metal parts can reduce the size of this by at least 30%
But as a concept - its amazing
And now someone needs to make a Bolter with this.
Dudes shooting his bolter FOR THE EMPEROR!
This is amazing! Out of interest, did you take inspiration from "simunition" training rounds? The telescoping cartridge concept for blowback is very similar and it's impressive that you've managed to pull this off!
Bruh you're a goddamn genius
That's a nice Bolter
Walmart in 2007 to 2009 had a toy gun that was a buzz b and it like like a old school Winchester rifle with the leaver action and 8shells but cool toy
I thought this looked really goofy, until I looked in the description

@@leblasto im saying maybe a version that hits like a freight train would be awesome! Id love to see a performance version!
i love a blaster you can slap. like i say, slap it like you love it!
Cool stuff!
I wonder if you can change the design of bolts for strong springs instead of rubber bands 🤔
wow this is sick.sadly i dont have a 3d printer.yet. might eventually buy the files and 3d print it once i have a 3d printer though.
Hey nerf,If you ever wanna make a limited run 40k bolter,call this guy
Yo should make a version of this with a longer barrel. And a bigger magazine.
Do you plan to make a version that uses springs in cartridge mechanism? Would be more effective than rubber bands.
Imma need a Painted Bolter version real quick 😂
very epic and cool and do more
I'm so thankful to have real guns and not toy guns as a grown man
also nice auto sear instead of just a hammer follow
So much FGC-9 Mk.II vibes here
