One of my buddies swapped out the shell release spring in his, and now when he opens the barrel, the shell goes flying. It's kinda annoying sometimes, but it's really funny to watch.
You can actually manually eject the shells without modification just by turning the ballel sideways or sorta flicking the whole thing while breaking. Ive gotten pretty fast with it personally
I did the same thing to mine, and I practiced catching the shell at the peak of its arc and putting it back into the stock in one smooth motion. It feels so cool to do once you get it down!
Yes, but they are also more delicate and harder to come by. I have a Sledgefire but only 6 shells, while I have over 40 shells for my Shellstrike masterkey attachment.
Managed to find a Sledgefire at my local recycling shop (think thrift store outside of a landfill). I was absolutely shocked to find it was not only in perfect working order, but it also had FOUR shells with it. Absolutely stunning
You can also easily remove the shell holster-stock for a more sawed-off appearance, and you can tweak the spring so that it kicks the shell out completely for faster reloads (but it makes losing the shells easier if you're not careful). It's been my go-to shotgun since it came out - I've thrifted ones just for the shells, haha.
Yep, I have a pair of them I have gently modded, painted and de-stocked for a LARP. Are the the most 'effective' thing? Nope, but WOW are they just satisfying to shoot. Toss in a few after market shells to carry a megadart, or rival balls, and its just a fun thing.
This blaster is one of my proudest mod accomplishments, that I haven't seen anyone else do. I took one shell, ripped out the dart posts, filed then sanded a chamfer into the back of each chamber, turned the plunger a third of a turn, replaced the spring with some ridiculous gate spring from home Depot that just happened to fit, redid the air seal, and took out the auto ejector mechanism, and this thing SLAPS. In my old HvZ days, I used it as a secondary on the Nerf sling (which has 12 dart slots), the barrel break dart holder on the rail for scavenging, carried it on my back with my stupid little semi-couplered and spring replaced Firestrike as a primary, and would absolutely clean house with how light I was running. The only parts of the mod I haven't gotten to do yet are brass barreling the shell, and making a swap in single mega shell. As it stands, you can select how many darts you want to fire (keep three in it, use for close encounters; load one for a second sniper shot, two for fast loading but still some spread, and reload three when you get a chance), and for hordes you can act like a mortar by staying behind the group while you just lob darts into the mob as they advance. And the advent of easy and cheap to get half darts has only made it better. The Sledgefire will always have a special place in my heart, even in a world of flywheelers and off-the-shelf high performance springers.
i miss mine. Had one for dorm nerf wars in college. I ended up manipulating one of the shells so i could load darts from the back and then fixing it into the barrel. So i could break it open and load three darts without having to worry about the shells all the time. This plus the hammershot and i felt unstoppable.
I loved mine so much! I actually chopped off the stock, smoothed it out and mounted the shell storage to the side of the blaster. makes it more compact and puts the shells closer to the barrel break.
Same! I accidentally broke my first one coz I thought the shells ejected harder the harder you opened it, but I managed to find a new one at a thrift store like a week later! gave the corpse of the old one to a tinkerer friend who tried to make it bolt action, and he just ended up butchering it.
These are still really popular for dart wars games in my area, people saw off the barrel and put on a peice of pvc, and boom you have a blaster that hits like a dump truck.
The Sledgfire is one of our favourite blasters (also one of the first ones we thrifted when we got into the hobby) and its great to hear you mention about the desire to put two together. The next big project blaster I'm collecting parts for is something of a similar nature, while it will use the internals from a pair of Rival Takedowns, the prime action will be break barrel! Oh it'll also be shell fed too 😄 Great timing for this video to come out, perfect motivation, thank you
I remember kid me wanting one of these so bad I would spend hours on eBay looking at them and watching different breach mods. I guess Kid me lives on considering I'm still doing that.
Walcom, you have inspired me to take my K26 Sledgefire to a Nerf war I’m going to today. I always tried to use AF waffle darts in it, and got bad range and spread, so I tried some Elite darts like you said, and now it’s kicking butt!
this thing seems so FUN to use. i'm only into foam guns with interesting mechanics and a fun feel to them so this would be 100% up my alley. we can only hope that they come to their senses and make things like this again. a dual one would be pretty cool, yes, maybe with a two-step trigger?
Great recap of a classic. Our local group is full of kids running singled Sledgies - the mechanical advantage of the break action prime means the even littlies can shoot 150fps lasers 😎
This was my first blaster ever, and I still love it. I mean, it’s a little bit broken. But it stills works, and I’m happy about that. It’s just so damn fun to use.
A tag back on the sledgefire makes me feel old for some reason, I'm only 18 but I remember getting one when it came out and loving it but losing the shells after like a week
Yeah sledge for is great! I would say that the right is even better, or even using it's needs counterpart to shoot elite days is an interesting idea. Rough cut just has a ton going for it. Good fps in both barrels, 4 shots, it is front loading, and higher mod potential.
I still buy these guys second hand for the shells when I find a cheap one. I 3dprinted a bunch of shells, but if you fumble a reload (easy) and drop one on the pavement it's done, so I prefer original shells
I replaced the spring with one from one of those bug asalt salt shooters. It fit in perfectly and gets write a boost. Can't chronometer it, but it's getting 50-60ft on 3 half darts. Love it!
This one is cool but just got my hands on a used Rival Saturn and put a stronger spring in it. That is the best. Gonna make two 10-round speed loaders and bayonet so it's battle ready. AF Spectrum minimized down to an Uzi as a secondary. I still wish they made sledgefires though.
he's talking doom slayer again with his dubble barel sledge fire 13:42 until 14:25 even while im from 2006 i know that game and many snes games where he's talking about ,and using the soundtrack from they are also part of my childhood because; my dad had downloaded over 700 snes titles with their roms ,while i was four or 5 and they are still there on my first pc and it is still working
if you can get one and hunt down some shells, follow the MTB guide to remove the air restrictors, enhance the seal, and re-lubricate everything. even without a spring upgrade, its amazing. with the spring upgrade and a pile of shells, you can be doom guy at any battle that doesn't allow heavy modding.
the goodwill price tag is a nice touch on a sledgefire I just picked up two from goodwill today and I'm racking my brain coming up with a way to make a break action double barrel on one trigger
Pin both barrels, barrel releases, and both triggers together. Install a new grip behind the original, and run a connection from the original now pinned triggers to a new one that actuates the pinned ones. Done.
What about the lightning blitz it has 2 more darts no shells more mod potential and even just plugging the pump and maybe re-barreling will make this viable.
I've done testing and discovered the dart zone long distance darts, you know the green and blue ones before waffles, and they actually go further than the average dart, not accurate though
If you use s-shot darts and press them to the bottom they fly super good. I’ve played many nerf wars and this top always get me the win with the extra range
I literally just thrifted one of these beauties this past weekend and searched for a video from you about it… Needless to say, I’m excited to see this one!
With a little bit of sewing skillz you could make some side saddles with elastic fabric. The side of the body was smooth enough to slap some sticky Velcro on it and you could make some removable shell cards. Limey Tactical did a bunch back in the day!
Can agree, I own one, and though it is second hand, I LOVE IT! The barrel feature (unlike ones like buzzbees) is sturdy and doesnt have a visible rope cord that primes it. The hammer is smooth and one handable The shells are nothing special, and if you have a 3D printer, you can just print out more The 3 shots are decent ranged, not too bad for a shotgun Fun to fire Fun to hold and good grip Sturdy stock Shame its hard to get though, but if you have one, it is great!
You can replace the stock spring with an upgraded one and remove the air restrictors for increased ranged, however from some recent personal experience replacing the spring for something more powerful is very difficult and potentially dangerous. The spring I got is from Out of Darts and I can feel the power in it, but installing it safely became problematic with other parts of the firing mechanism wanting to forcefully exit the blaster shell, including the tiny springs on two of the pieces. I ended up just taking a drilling tool and carefully removed the smart ar system and air restrictors just so I had something to work with.
I tried cutting the dart posts out of one of my sledgefire shells and it actually seemed to make the performance worse? Not entirely sure why. Maybe it made the air currents less concentrated or something but I digress. Anyone else have this problem, and is there anything you've found that fixes it?
I found my Sledgefire at the last K-mart in my county, and possibly the last one in Florida before it closed. I believe I got it in 2018 or early 2019, I brought it to Endwar 2019
Hey Walcoms7 did you know if you shave down the priming rod down on a jolt you can put a stock hammershot spring in it. My modded jolts parts I used in it” brass Breech, and a hammershot spring, “note, do keep the padded plunger head on, or re pad the head If you don’t want to crack the plunger head”
i wasnt alive in the early 2000s but i was in the later 2000s and my big brother gave me a bunch of old nerf blasters from then and they are 100000000000 times better then new nerf blasters

Welcome, Can you make a Tag Back for the Nerf N-Strike Maverick REV-6 please? Also I noticed in your to wall of nerf boxes you have like 3 or more
One of my buddies swapped out the shell release spring in his, and now when he opens the barrel, the shell goes flying. It's kinda annoying sometimes, but it's really funny to watch.
@@grench3298 Ok.
You can actually manually eject the shells without modification just by turning the ballel sideways or sorta flicking the whole thing while breaking. Ive gotten pretty fast with it personally
@@shelbykingnfs7216 Yeah, but just cranking the barrel down and seeing the shell go flying is rather entertaining.
Apparently a Maverick slide return spring will do that.
I did the same thing to mine, and I practiced catching the shell at the peak of its arc and putting it back into the stock in one smooth motion. It feels so cool to do once you get it down!
I found one of these blasters sealed in package at a goodwill once with all of the shells. Tempted to leave it sealed
You better.
Keep it closed
OPEN IT.
IT YEARNS FOR USE!
Use it please.
Leaving it in a package is an absolute waste.
I'll buy it! Just kidding, but I wish I had a sledgefire
These are so good holstered without the stock, the shells are also so much slimmer than the most recent ones.
Yes, but they are also more delicate and harder to come by. I have a Sledgefire but only 6 shells, while I have over 40 shells for my Shellstrike masterkey attachment.
Yes
The seldgefire was literally the nerf blaster that got me into the hobby. Love that thing
Found one without the shells at a Goodwill and bought the shells separately from ebay. One of my favorite nerf guns
Managed to find a Sledgefire at my local recycling shop (think thrift store outside of a landfill). I was absolutely shocked to find it was not only in perfect working order, but it also had FOUR shells with it. Absolutely stunning
You can also easily remove the shell holster-stock for a more sawed-off appearance, and you can tweak the spring so that it kicks the shell out completely for faster reloads (but it makes losing the shells easier if you're not careful).

13:55 I love the slow doom guy fade in, glad I'm not the only one who thought DB and Doom guy instantly.
i miss mine. Had one for dorm nerf wars in college. I ended up manipulating one of the shells so i could load darts from the back and then fixing it into the barrel. So i could break it open and load three darts without having to worry about the shells all the time. This plus the hammershot and i felt unstoppable.
Getting a singled-brass shell for my Sledgefire was a game changing upgrade. Stock I was getting 120+ FPS
I still have mine. It is one of my favorite blasters I own. I’ll take it any day over my trilogy.
I loved mine so much! I actually chopped off the stock, smoothed it out and mounted the shell storage to the side of the blaster. makes it more compact and puts the shells closer to the barrel break.
3:32 AND THIS TIME!
Gods I missed the Tag Back intro! And I LOVE this blaster.
My favorite part of the entire vid: "Circa 2013, you know, back when nerf was actually good."
I love how Doom guy appeared on the screen when he was ranting about making the sledgefire a double-barrel
I'm so happy you made this. The sledgefire was literally the first nerf gun I bought after starting to watch your videos.
I actually still have my Sledgefire! It was one of the few nerf guns I kept when I sold off my collection, because it was just too freakin COOL!
Same! I accidentally broke my first one coz I thought the shells ejected harder the harder you opened it, but I managed to find a new one at a thrift store like a week later! gave the corpse of the old one to a tinkerer friend who tried to make it bolt action, and he just ended up butchering it.
I loved the F-ZERO GX music in the beginning, great vid overall 👍
These are still really popular for dart wars games in my area, people saw off the barrel and put on a peice of pvc, and boom you have a blaster that hits like a dump truck.
We need a MegaXL sawed off. It’d just be too much fun.
@@andrewbingham5460 now you're using you're noggin, I think I could make that
Basically just the sawed off advantage
I wish I had a sledgefire
Funny Story: I found my Sledgefire at the Salvation Army a while back.

Finally, a shell blaster that DOESN'T lose its shells.
This was my first blaster ever, and I still love it. I mean, it’s a little bit broken. But it stills works, and I’m happy about that. It’s just so damn fun to use.
A tag back on the sledgefire makes me feel old for some reason, I'm only 18 but I remember getting one when it came out and loving it but losing the shells after like a week
The sledgefire is probably in my top 10 of most fun blasters.
“A sledge fire, is this a joke” “What is this 2013?” “This is the weapon of choice my friend.” “Makes your strife look like a pea shooter!”
Yeah sledge for is great! I would say that the right is even better, or even using it's needs counterpart to shoot elite days is an interesting idea. Rough cut just has a ton going for it. Good fps in both barrels, 4 shots, it is front loading, and higher mod potential.
Sledgefire is one of my all-time favorite blasters.
Another blaster to add to the shopping list. Shells will be easy to come by; saw plenty of offers on eBay for 3D printed ones.
I still buy these guys second hand for the shells when I find a cheap one. I 3dprinted a bunch of shells, but if you fumble a reload (easy) and drop one on the pavement it's done, so I prefer original shells
Print in tpu

walcom thank you for staying true to your self you are an insperation
The f-zero sound track is awesome!! You always pick the best music
A *shell* of its former self
Wow that looped spin at the end was beautiful... good video Walcom! I know it's been 2 years but whatev :)
I love this blaster so much I gave it to my cat so everyone I know will keep their hands the hell off it. No one touches it.
I watch your sidearm and duel wielding videos all the time, this is a super fun blaster!!!
I love the outro loop on this one
This one is cool but just got my hands on a used Rival Saturn and put a stronger spring in it. That is the best. Gonna make two 10-round speed loaders and bayonet so it's battle ready. AF Spectrum minimized down to an Uzi as a secondary.
I still wish they made sledgefires though.
I turned one of these into a breech load single shot with a brass barrel and silicone seal. It was a great shooter.
After looking for a long time. I finally had my Sledgefire just two days ago. AND ITS AWEASOME !!!
I still own one, it's a fine little thing that I use sometimes to prank my brothers. I kinda miss the days when Nerf made fun blasters
he's talking doom slayer again with his dubble barel sledge fire 13:42 until 14:25
even while im from 2006 i know that game and many snes games where he's talking about ,and using the soundtrack from they are also part of my childhood because; my dad had downloaded over 700 snes titles with their roms ,while i was four or 5
and they are still there on my first pc and it is still working
Tbh, I'm so happy i own a Sledgefire, because the design is just so much fun... 😸 And has a good spread too...
You know you’re old when you remember watching a review of the gun in tag back as a kid.
Now that they started making pro blasters, they should definitely make a pro sledgefire.
Sledgefire is probably my most fun Nerf gun ever :)
3:25 END OF AD(can we stop already)
Lilly: I appreciate you used used the F Zero GX soundtrack, most specifically the track named shotgun kiss. 👌
There's a 3d printable sledgefire and it's called the super sledge which will release soon by the username name of 'SillyButts'
If I ever get another nerf blaster, there are two options I'd go for. The Perses, and this.
I hope some day the Sledge return, the Trilogy DS15 is something but Bro the SLEDGE!
I thrifted one with only one shell. Even without the other 2 its still awesome! Really good shotgun
Sillybutts Supersledge is something I need in my life lol
Sledge and doominator, this is like a go to load out in mu opinion.
I think this is the best nerf gun that truly represents being a shotgun.
And this time on Tag Back!
ZURU X-SHOT DART are very fun to use in that one 👍🏼
if you can get one and hunt down some shells, follow the MTB guide to remove the air restrictors, enhance the seal, and re-lubricate everything. even without a spring upgrade, its amazing. with the spring upgrade and a pile of shells, you can be doom guy at any battle that doesn't allow heavy modding.
I got one of these at a yardsale a few days ago. Didn't have the shells though. I ordered some online, they got here yesterday. It. Is. Awsome.
I bought that at target my favorite blaster!!
I've been waiting to get a hold of the Sledgefire for a while until my cousin was finally getting rid of his along with a Hyperfire to me!
I got one off facebook marketplace for $6 with a slingfire $4 perfect working condition. I also like the Shellstrike
the goodwill price tag is a nice touch on a sledgefire
I just picked up two from goodwill today and I'm racking my brain coming up with a way to make a break action double barrel on one trigger
Pin both barrels, barrel releases, and both triggers together. Install a new grip behind the original, and run a connection from the original now pinned triggers to a new one that actuates the pinned ones. Done.
Didn’t expected a video like this considering nowadays you just keep uploading unboxing and review videos
What about the lightning blitz it has 2 more darts no shells more mod potential and even just plugging the pump and maybe re-barreling will make this viable.
I remember the K26 episode of this: “it can take a K26, but…”
love the sledgefire
I've done testing and discovered the dart zone long distance darts, you know the green and blue ones before waffles, and they actually go further than the average dart, not accurate though
If you use s-shot darts and press them to the bottom they fly super good. I’ve played many nerf wars and this top always get me the win with the extra range
idk why but the name feels so… syrupy and I love it
Now glue 2 of them together and make a boom stick!
Finally got my hands on one for $7 with two shells missing that this a steal
I agree that the sledge fire is best nerf gun ever
14:24 force a nature scout intensifies
I literally just thrifted one of these beauties this past weekend and searched for a video from you about it… Needless to say, I’m excited to see this one!
I never got that much range with my sledgefire so I'm waiting to get my hands on a trilogy if not a shellstrike
With a little bit of sewing skillz you could make some side saddles with elastic fabric. The side of the body was smooth enough to slap some sticky Velcro on it and you could make some removable shell cards. Limey Tactical did a bunch back in the day!
I really would like to see you try the double barrel sledgefire again. It may be tedious to do but I feel the payoff would be amazingly awesome
I've always loved nerf blaster shot guns they have always been my favorite and they are way more fun
Yo, this is absolutely awesome, I’m so glad tag back returned and with a very cool shotgun. Great job on this video (: 💯💯
Can agree, I own one, and though it is second hand, I LOVE IT!
The barrel feature (unlike ones like buzzbees) is sturdy and doesnt have a visible rope cord that primes it.
The hammer is smooth and one handable
The shells are nothing special, and if you have a 3D printer, you can just print out more
The 3 shots are decent ranged, not too bad for a shotgun
Fun to fire
Fun to hold and good grip
Sturdy stock
Shame its hard to get though, but if you have one, it is great!
Is there any way I can take out a part to increase its general firing power? I want to basically increase how fast and far it flies
You can replace the stock spring with an upgraded one and remove the air restrictors for increased ranged, however from some recent personal experience replacing the spring for something more powerful is very difficult and potentially dangerous. The spring I got is from Out of Darts and I can feel the power in it, but installing it safely became problematic with other parts of the firing mechanism wanting to forcefully exit the blaster shell, including the tiny springs on two of the pieces. I ended up just taking a drilling tool and carefully removed the smart ar system and air restrictors just so I had something to work with.
early zombie strike was truly the golden age of nerf...
Rocking that hair! Lol
A. Wish I had a good will. B. Wish I had a sledgefire. C. That is all, XD
I tried cutting the dart posts out of one of my sledgefire shells and it actually seemed to make the performance worse? Not entirely sure why. Maybe it made the air currents less concentrated or something but I digress.
Anyone else have this problem, and is there anything you've found that fixes it?
I read that the post can actually make a better seal by pushing out from the middle of the hollow dart body? Maybe that?
@@abelq8008 Huh.
So what you're saying is that the dart post makes the seal better by channeling the air to the interior of the dart?
I found my Sledgefire at the last K-mart in my county, and possibly the last one in Florida before it closed. I believe I got it in 2018 or early 2019, I brought it to Endwar 2019
While I am inclined to agree with the stated premise of the title, I think I prefer the Shellstrike still.
Can you do a tagback if the elite retaliator?
Hey Walcoms7 did you know if you shave down the priming rod down on a jolt you can put a stock hammershot spring in it.
