Had to do a bit of digging to find this video! I'm going to try and mod my Cycloneshock to take a K26 now (and also not break my blaster and/or face in the process). It'd be super interesting to see revamp videos of older content like this in your more modern style, with the range tests and chronograph info and so on. I'm certain a K26 Cyclone would be flinging those beefy Megas at 100 fps or even more - assuming the catch stayed catchy and the plunger tube didn't kerplode, of course. =]
So up until 2015 my dad worked at a night club called stars as a DJ, so anyways, he modified it to the point where if you shot someone from a descent distance it would leave red welts, he just used it to mess with people, but when he got fired, (long story that I don't wanna talk about) he gave it to me, but somehow it got lost in our backyard for about 2 years, so I'm currently working on fixing it, do you guys have any tips? (Im not that good at modding)
Recently all I did to improve my Maverick was throw in a Jolt spring I stretched out to fit in place of the stock spring and that was more then enough for a decent performance boost. I didn't remove the air restrictors or dart posts either.
Wow, I had never heard of the penny mod before. Thanks for mentioning it in your video, I looked up a video on it and now my maverick is on par with my other elite pistols.
I don't know if it was a decision madde after this blaster was produced or if I just got the unlucky unit that was glued solid. I had to carve away to release the trigger catch spring it was sealed along all edges. And the plunger head was screwed and glued in place I couldn't actually get it apart I had to unscrew the spring off and screw the new one on... lol
you cant put a k26 in a hammer shot because the spring in the hammershot is too small to put normal springs in, so unless you find a 26 kg spring thats as small as a hammershots, then it cant take a k26.
That is correct. I use it to describe the things you have to collect that exist purely for the purpose of being collected. So if the mission is "You have to collect the ten parts of the reactor in order to stop the Zombies." Then the glow sticks the represent the "reactor parts" are McGuffins.
My Maverick was my first Nerf blaster. It still works and is in my closet. I still use it. I have a strongarm, but that fails to fire the darts more than 10 feet often as the barrel rotates while firing and it hits the dart.
Mine was taking out the barrel posts on a strongarm and i didnt know what the return spring was for at the time so i threw it out. I also put the catch on the wrong way so you could only slam fire it. IT SAT LIKE THIS FOR 3 YEARS until i decided i would do a quick change cylinder mod on it, i did that mod, then fixed the catch. When I first took it apart I was 10, and didnt notice that i couldve just slid out the cylinder part way to take out the barrel posts
I just got my K26 from Out of Darts today for my Strongarm. Any tips on how to get it to prime that easily? For me, I have to prime it sideways and use p-much every ounce of strength I have - as a full grown adult.
Not really. It later discovered that k26 is NOT a good option as the slam fire mech is weak and breaks eventually. Honestly I would recommend downgrading to one of the springs specifically sold for it.
I think the strongarm rotated on fire so the slam fire would work, if it rotated on prime it would jam like the maverick, if it were to rotate on trigger pull it wouldnt move the barrel every time you prime.
the hammershot is my favorite blaster of all time. I am currently modding one (im not very good so all im doing is removing the air restrictors) and spray painting it. any suggestions for mods that i dont have to use expensive items like dremels and brass barrels and all sorts of crazy techno things and stuff i dont have to go to a hardware store to buy
Bandi Craft - Minecraft & Madden! I would recommend using an orange mod works spring which you can buy off eBay or amazon, which are about 20 U.S. dollars, I would personally recommend looking up the online directions though, since you mentioned you were a beginner. Hope this helped!
ThePieOfLyfe {Bandi Craft} ROBLOX & More! The strongarm is better watch walcoms7's video since then you dont have to read a +1000 characters long coment
Hey just a quick question for Captain Xavier do you take gun request and if you do do you think you could make me an EIR and if you could how much would you take for it with all the new attachments
I guess you could try putting a k26 in the nerf splitfire, alpha trooper, retaliater, and rampage. (Also you missed the splitfire it's the double nitefinder that splits in two)
What would be the best spring you can put in a Maverick? I'm trying to turn one into a rifle and I want to make sure it has enough power to at least clear the barrel.
@@CaptainXavier Oh wow you replied, I love your videos and I hope I didn't offend you with my comment. Quick question, Do you have any tips for modding the Nerf Centurion's plunger or what I should use to replace the plunger system? After stripping a screw in the outside and taking a good amount of time getting that out, I open and I find out that the plunger is all epoxied together. Thank you if you read this!
Still curious why they ever put a rail on the slide of the maverick, I mean unless your putting a priming handle its pretty useless compared to the strongarms rail which you can put stuff like... a scope... a...... Lets be honest rails on a revolver are pretty useless except on ones with a stock / barrel attachement.
Captain Xavier, I have a Strongarm that I got from Goodwill. It is missing the dart posts and hardly fires. When it does fire the darts one fly like a foot. Should I open it up and just replace the spring or scrap it?
@@CaptainXavier I just upped the spring. Now I need a catch spring. Nothing looked out of place on the inside. Except the drum was a little jostled. Thank you for your help, sir. Keep up the good work. New video was awesome.
I have seen people run dual Mavericks and survive entire HvZs. I have also seen people run dual Mavericks and have them both jam on day one. I suspect the Maverick is Loki's blaster of choice and with it he messes with the masses. :P
Hey, uh, Cptn. Xavier. Seeing as you've dealt with Mavericks, I was wondering if you could diagnose a problem with one of mine. The shell is amazingly clean, and I've cleaned the internals and done all I can, yet, every time I fire, it makes the most.. agonizing snapping sound, as if the blaster wants to break its plunger. Should lubrication fix it, or is it no good?
Honestly it was still a bit trash, but at least it wasn't burning trash. I'm willing to bet it did benefit more from better springs than the original, though. Made the internals a bit weird? Kinda like a Strongarm with less severe brain aneurysm.
Kind of a weird question but are you recording in stereo? Idk if it's my shitty headphones but I would recommend mono for this style of video if you are.
Yup, several people have mentioned this over the course of the 2 years this video has been up. It was a pointlessly pedantic when they did it as it is now...
As little as possible without getting spring rattle. But I will warn you right now, it will not last more than a few shots before the catch gets too worn down to work.
+Keyona McBride oof, so we are not talking "repair" we are talking a complete replacement of all internals. That is a full commission and I am not currently taking new commissions.
You can put a k26 in a cycloneshot?
Imagine that with the 18-round shotgun cylinder...
No one is safe
Shotgun with 70 fps elite performance for 3 darts
Bobert Johnson that would be so op I would get a boner swing that😂
@@Cringemoment4045 yep around 100-150 fps
What blaster are you talking about? I've googled cycloneshot and cant find anything lol
Ima paint my strongarm like a maverick
Ima trade my friend a strongarm for a maverick
ima paint my glock as a nerf gun
*Confusion time*
r/madlads
Dont
Do the flip fury, guardian, firefly, and the spylight
I have the of those and some will be in the next episode...not tell which ones. :P
Captain Xavier please do a hammershot
the Hammershot has the spring in the handle. It can not take a K26 because there is not enough room.
Adam Markle atleast try
ELITE STORMTROOPER it's impossible for even a spring upgrade

I have 2 Mavericks from when I was about 4 or 5
Australian Nerf Boy me too
My pride and joy of nerf is an old longshot CS-6 that my dad gave me, there's a story behind it tho

I am glad the Icon series Spectre is direct plunger. I put a k26 in it and now it is my go to secondary/psuedo primary.
every body on amazon they are having great sales for Nerf i found a tri strike for 30 dollars
Noice
Do you know of anyone who's designed a replacement cylinder for the Strongarm that holds more than 6 darts?
Yes
Who would that be, and where can I obtain one?
Thingiverse. There is a 9 and a 10.
@@CaptainXavier Hahaha
Loving the new mic, it's a definite improvement. Keep up the great content!
Sweet, thanks for the feedback.
3:11 on double speed, gave me a chuckle. Thanks Captain!

@@CaptainXavier he meant before that lol

You need to do the specter elite variant. It has different internals (aka it is direct plundered)
you cant put a k26 in a hammer shot because the spring in the hammershot is too small to put normal springs in, so unless you find a 26 kg spring thats as small as a hammershots, then it cant take a k26.
Hey! Spoilers...I haven't posted the hammer primed blasters yet. :P
Captain Xavier Hey are you going to do a Sharpfire blaster?
K26s aren’t 26 kg
Do one on the blaster in the back of the meteator stock
I have a stretched maverick spring in a triad.
Can you link me the video of you fighting in the medieval armor. It sounds interesting
th-cam.com/video/EZ5OnFtmTWU/w-d-xo.html
Captain Xavier wow, you actually replied again, and I have another question, what are mcguffins? Sorry to pester you with questions
Astro Nautical a macguffin is what ever is relevant to the situation eg the idol in Indiana Jones is a macguffin
That is correct. I use it to describe the things you have to collect that exist purely for the purpose of being collected. So if the mission is "You have to collect the ten parts of the reactor in order to stop the Zombies." Then the glow sticks the represent the "reactor parts" are McGuffins.
the n-strike elite spectre is actually diferent it has a direct plunger and the ar is in the plunger instead off the cilinder
...I know. I covered it in Episode 25.
My Maverick was my first Nerf blaster. It still works and is in my closet. I still use it. I have a strongarm, but that fails to fire the darts more than 10 feet often as the barrel rotates while firing and it hits the dart.
Someone should mod a strongarm to not rotate on firing but instead rotate by squeezing the trigger like a maverick
My first mod was the penny mod 😂
Me too😂
Mine was taking out the barrel posts on a strongarm and i didnt know what the return spring was for at the time so i threw it out. I also put the catch on the wrong way so you could only slam fire it. IT SAT LIKE THIS FOR 3 YEARS until i decided i would do a quick change cylinder mod on it, i did that mod, then fixed the catch.

Not really. It later discovered that k26 is NOT a good option as the slam fire mech is weak and breaks eventually. Honestly I would recommend downgrading to one of the springs specifically sold for it.
The Maverick was later rereleased in the ghost ops series
I wonder how hard a k26d cyclone shot would shoot an elite dart?
Very hard...for about 10 shots...then the catch will break. :(
I have a clear maverick that I treat like a brother and it functions perfectly
I'm Illiterate therefore I cant tie my shoes so I tripped while trying to read the description....
I think the strongarm rotated on fire so the slam fire would work, if it rotated on prime it would jam like the maverick, if it were to rotate on trigger pull it wouldnt move the barrel every time you prime.
I think so too.
I wonder what blasters will be featured in Season 2 Episode 2?
fununcle hammershot. willing to bet
Spoiler alert it won't. Lol.
I'll take that bet. ;)
right then Xavier. . . I bet you exactly 1 like if you win the bet!
You are betting it will...thus I am betting it won't...and as the person making the video...I might have some insider knowledge. :P
In five years my two Mavericks haven’t jammed once
Damn. Looks like I need to go toss some K26 into my Elite-converted 8-dart CycloneShock...
Holy ballz don’t shoot me with that
What type of blasters are you doing next season
Also nice toque
Mag Fed
Dual strike? Planning to buy one ^-^ but surely i want to know first if a k26 will fit
Huh my maverick has never jammed I wonder why I’ve even recently modded it but I’ve had no trouble with it

Go get a Titan 8 or 10k spring along with a metal hammer and a metal trigger
Here's a question for you will the upgraded cycloneshock work with the worker barrel inserts?
As far as I know. I don't have any so I cannot say for sure.
Hey just a quick question for Captain Xavier do you take gun request and if you do do you think you could make me an EIR and if you could how much would you take for it with all the new attachments
This gives me nostalgia because the maverick was my first gun
I guess you could try putting a k26 in the nerf splitfire, alpha trooper, retaliater, and rampage. (Also you missed the splitfire it's the double nitefinder that splits in two)
I would really like to see a Guardian Crossbow with a K26
It is on the list. :)
The centurion plunger tube is just...
The strong arm bears the weight of the K26 elegantly, rejoice
where do you get replacement catch springs?
Fastenal. #155 is what I use.
thank you so much!
Will the Strongarm still work if you put the K26 Spring in but don't replace the trigger spring?
The catch spring? No.
Captain Xavier Dang! Is there any other replacement I could use like a pen spring or something?
Yeah, try a pen spring.
Captain Xavier Cool! Thanks for the advice!
I done a restrictor removal on my maverick and specter
what? strongarm k26... damn
and that cyclone shock . would be an amazing secondary with elites
Aaron Hubscher lol u did to
What would be the best spring you can put in a Maverick? I'm trying to turn one into a rifle and I want to make sure it has enough power to at least clear the barrel.

Does the penny upgrade thing work with a reverse plunger blasters...cause i wana do it with my recon
Probably not? I don't think there is enough room in the back of the recon.
Great audio quality!
Captain Xavier, I have a Strongarm that I got from Goodwill. It is missing the dart posts and hardly fires. When it does fire the darts one fly like a foot. Should I open it up and just replace the spring or scrap it?
It sounds like it has already been modded...badly. I would open it up and see what was done to it.
@@CaptainXavier Okay, thank you.
@@CaptainXavier I just upped the spring. Now I need a catch spring. Nothing looked out of place on the inside. Except the drum was a little jostled. Thank you for your help, sir. Keep up the good work. New video was awesome.
So... a cyclone shock with a k26 re-barreled for elite darts would tear a whole in space time, correct?
It certainly would have some zing.
My maverick has not jammed since I got it a year ago
I have seen people run dual Mavericks and survive entire HvZs. I have also seen people run dual Mavericks and have them both jam on day one. I suspect the Maverick is Loki's blaster of choice and with it he messes with the masses. :P
if you take out the air restrictor in a triad as well as a tek 3 spring you got a shotgun pistol (something I'm sending to walcom soon)
How do you brass the barrels on the strong arm
How do I? I don't. Not worth the effort in my experience.
i whould love a brass barell and spring upgaded mavrick
how many cache springs/ what springs did he use?
Mega blasters were designed to be tougher because they fire well mega darts so its only natural they can handle a k26
Can a stryfe take a k26?
Watch the Holiday Special episode. I cover the Stryfe.
Am I the only one who likes the maverik because the barrel rotates on the trigger pull
Captain I was able to put k26 in my specter I just had to shorten the k26
Cool! N-Strike or N-Strike Elite?
You should do the rough cut
I will be doing a special AR blasters episode at some point.
At the strong arm, did you dremel the spring holder or the k26?
The spring holder.
Can you go into more detail on how you dremeled it.
Lebeefncheddar i have to assume he just slowly wore it down and tested it little by little until he had the fit he was looking for
I don't really mind the audio so long as it isn't REALLY bad
if you really barreled a cyclone shock drum for micro darts it would be awesome
Worker makes conversion kits for them. I have not bought them yet.
the screw that keeps the plunger head in my cyclone shock broke any suggestions for a fix?
Get a bigger screw.
@@CaptainXavier the post is still lodged in the rod.
Maybe the DoomLands series for the K26.
You called the cyclone shot a big shot????

Should lubrication fix it, or is it no good?
BronyinDisguise i think you should lubricate it. I had a strongarm with the same problem and lubricating it cleared that noise
i think it is when the plunger does not make a seal
What Spring did u use to upgrade the spring in the Mavrick
No idea...one from "the bin"
can the *elite* spectre take a K26?
can it take a k26 disruptor
Ive heard that taking the AR out of a strongarm weakens it. Is that true?
And what does brassing barrels do?
+shadowsa2b yes, taking out the AR is bad with this blaster. Brassing will probably result in it not firing at all.
what would a well modified Strongarm from you cost from you? your etsy shop is apparently empty as of this posting.
Hey mate, the Elite Spectre uses a direct plunger, might work better? Hell, it might make the thing less of an eternal dog.
Hey yeah? That is a HUGE alteration from the original.
Honestly it was still a bit trash, but at least it wasn't burning trash. I'm willing to bet it did benefit more from better springs than the original, though. Made the internals a bit weird? Kinda like a Strongarm with less severe brain aneurysm.
I don't think it can take a k26 though.
where do you get your springs and nerf guns
Goodwill and mostly from dead blasters.
Kind of a weird question but are you recording in stereo? Idk if it's my shitty headphones but I would recommend mono for this style of video if you are.
I have no idea...is there a button for that?
Captain Xavier there may be a button on your editing software but I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Hey, quick question captain X. What are the FPS readings out of the K26'd strongarm? Considering getting some to put in mine.
No idea. And I do not recommend it. It can take it...but the Slam Fire mech cannot take it long. I recommend getting a lighter spring.
Have you tried replacing the plunger rod with a reinforced one? I've got a 7kg spring in mine and it's been okay for two-ish years.
@@CaptainXavier k25 ok? ordered 2x 6kg springs for 2x strongarms but wonder how big i can go without breaking them. awesome mod vids btw.
So I guess this means the Disruptor will take a K26.
mfw ive used the maverick so much i know how to press the trigger when primed and only have it rotate the barrel, not fire the dart
Can't find you.on stay..help
What's the song he's using during the timelapses?
I have a maveric, a strongarm xd and a spectre barrel in the elite colors edit: would you send me the springs?
Did anyone notice that he called the cycloneshock near the end of the video?
Yup, several people have mentioned this over the course of the 2 years this video has been up. It was a pointlessly pedantic when they did it as it is now...
Did u call the cyclone shock a big shock?
Probably...I have been known to make mistakes.
Which dremeling bit did you use on the strongarm
I have a carving bit. No idea what the technical name is.
If you could just find a nerf zombie strike brain saw upgrade that would be awesome👍🏼
You should do the flip fury
If I ever find one...
Can you see if the rival line takea a k26
I use the Cyclone Shock instead of the Magnus, at this point.
Don't care about the sound, but it is better now, then in the "first" seriens.
i actually just got a cyclone shock, and im curious, is the ar easy to remove?
Yes, but don't. It will actually decrease the power.
@@CaptainXavier ... Well crap
Guess i need a new cycloneshock XD
Well live and learn :)
The 2013 Spectre is direct plunger.

How much K26 did you put in the mega cyclone shock ?
As little as possible without getting spring rattle. But I will warn you right now, it will not last more than a few shots before the catch gets too worn down to work.
Captain Xavier
Dang, they should make a metal catch
Hi there. I found a stryfe at a thrift store. Its broken I was just wondering how much money would you charge to fix it?
+Keyona McBride cost of return shipping and a Twix...plus any parts. Any idea what is broken?
Captain Xavier no rever triger and everything rusty on the inside its really bad. Doesn't shoot with new batteries.

Hey man just wondering what kind of ranges you get with a k26 cycloneshock. With rivals and Megas.
No idea yet. I am still searching for a place I can do range tests.
