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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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 😎
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
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.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
I really want a sledgefire and I almost bought the tricerablast when it came out thinking it was a resting of the sledgefire 😂. Thankfully I didn't buy it
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!
Excellent video! Unrelated I found an aeon pro at a discount store for 2.00 us and whoa that thing stings when I made my wife shoot me with it from 15 feet away. Ouch. Thanks.
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.
nerf needs to take notes on their older blasters like this one. I mean, instead of making a t-style priming handle fortnite flare gun, they could've made a break action priming fortnite flare gun.
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
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'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
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
Yeah I agree, other than 3 or 4 elite 2.0 blasters and MegaXL, Nerf has been falling off. But good thing is most of their modulus and Rival line are still for sale 👍🏻👍🏻💥
Slegfire is sick, however my all time favorite nerf shotgun is the... Pump SG...........😂😂😂 no not really it's actually the Double breach. Yeah yeah yeah I It's almost as bad as the pump sg however for me idk why but it's one of my all time favorite blasters
Awesome TagBack Video featuring an Awesome blaster!! I keep my sledgies close, real close. They’re my fav… and my faviest of favs sends em w/ 25kg pushing!! Hahaha, it’s brutally glorious. I’d love for Walcoms7 to check out /review my family trio of sledgies, they’re constantly evolving and even have custom one-off stocks!! Anyways TY for what you do! Till your next one!!
I got one and got an extra 6 shells for it..cause I consider 9 a lucky number..take a look at my user name and I'm sure you'll figure it out. I did TWO mods on mine and it was simple mods that required only a screwdriver. I did the simple spring adjustment mod that made the ejecting action stronger so it would actually lift the shells out and depending on the angle, eject them fully..that was a mod that could be done with the stock spring used for that mechanism and just slightly altering the position of it. I also removed the stock to make it a 'sawed off' sized that I could holster in a back sling. I love my Sledgefire..then again because of my love of westerns I was a fan of the Zombie Strike line for the Hammershot, the derringer like pistol (who's name I forget right now), and the Sledgefire.
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”
man I wanted that gun ever since I was kid I would buy one off Amazon but it's like 99.99 for plus shipping I really wish I could have one of those you got a steal my guy
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.
Is there a video you can point me to of yours that explains nerf wars/games how they work and what the objective is etc. I'm really interested in a video like that.
I actually found a sledgefire at a goodwill, too! I didn't buy it, because it only had one broken shell, and the thing looked dirtier than an anime fan's underwear.
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
Reminds me I still need to mod mine. I have a beefier spring but with that installed the prime doesn't catch all the way, and I haven't found a fix for that yet.

I thought the trilogy was good, but sledge fire is better

I installed this app through this link and I didn’t get a single thing even though it was my first time playing this game 😐
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
Found one without the shells at a Goodwill and bought the shells separately from ebay. One of my favorite nerf guns
The seldgefire was literally the nerf blaster that got me into the hobby. Love that thing
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.
Getting a singled-brass shell for my Sledgefire was a game changing upgrade. Stock I was getting 120+ FPS
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

I loved the F-ZERO GX music in the beginning, great vid overall 👍
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'm so happy you made this. The sledgefire was literally the first nerf gun I bought after starting to watch your videos.
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.

Gods I missed the Tag Back intro! And I LOVE this blaster.

I really want a sledgefire and I almost bought the tricerablast when it came out thinking it was a resting of the sledgefire 😂. Thankfully I didn't buy it
My favorite part of the entire vid: "Circa 2013, you know, back when nerf was actually good."
Lilly: I appreciate you used used the F Zero GX soundtrack, most specifically the track named shotgun kiss. 👌
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!
Excellent video! Unrelated I found an aeon pro at a discount store for 2.00 us and whoa that thing stings when I made my wife shoot me with it from 15 feet away. Ouch. Thanks.
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.
Funny Story: I found my Sledgefire at the Salvation Army a while back.
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.
There's a 3d printable sledgefire and it's called the super sledge which will release soon by the username name of 'SillyButts'
nerf needs to take notes on their older blasters like this one. I mean, instead of making a t-style priming handle fortnite flare gun, they could've made a break action priming fortnite flare gun.
Yo, this is absolutely awesome, I’m so glad tag back returned and with a very cool shotgun. Great job on this video (: 💯💯

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?
Sledgefire is probably my most fun Nerf gun ever :)
Now glue 2 of them together and make a boom stick!
Can you do a tagback if the elite retaliator?
..or close it with your hand if your lame 😂🤣
Sledge fire is not better then the rough cut by any means sir lol
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
Who is the 10th one to like this video
Sledge and doominator, this is like a go to load out in mu opinion.
While I am inclined to agree with the stated premise of the title, I think I prefer the Shellstrike still.
1:12 I cast fireball
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
Yeah I agree, other than 3 or 4 elite 2.0 blasters and MegaXL, Nerf has been falling off. But good thing is most of their modulus and Rival line are still for sale 👍🏻👍🏻💥
yo
Oh I thought trilogy was 3 shot
Good afternoon
If I ever get another nerf blaster, there are two options I'd go for. The Perses, and this.
“There are no redeeming values of nerf today” *cough cough* motoblitz *cough cough* double punch *cough cough* turbine
Dont forget radioactive mods (@Tripp Miller), he makes EXCEPTIONAL shells and I think kits for sledgefires
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
3:32 AND THIS TIME!
I got one off facebook marketplace for $6 with a slingfire $4 perfect working condition. I also like the Shellstrike
“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!”
A *shell* of its former self
I wanna get this to complete a Nerf Cowboy build but is $150 on Amazon.
A Chinese W1887 replica is cheaper than this and that's $100-$110.
:(
I found a Sledgefire...BUT THE BARREL WAS BROKEN OFF AND MISSING AGGGGGGGGGHHH
Slegfire is sick, however my all time favorite nerf shotgun is the... Pump SG...........😂😂😂 no not really it's actually the Double breach. Yeah yeah yeah I
It's almost as bad as the pump sg however for me idk why but it's one of my all time favorite blasters

I to have a Sledgefire
Sadly last year the Barrel Broke.. im going to wish for christmas for a new Sledgefire
Me: isn't there a better more moder-
Walcom: THE TRILOGY IS A STUPID SHOTGUN
Me:... but i liked the trilogy ;(
For a second I thought this was a 10 year old video, cuz of the sledgefire
I feel like shotguns are always lacking when it comes to foam darts
After looking for a long time. I finally had my Sledgefire just two days ago. AND ITS AWEASOME !!!
I owned this gun since I was young and I absolutely love it but unfortunately, I broke mine. The Priming mechanism snapped :(
I hope some day the Sledge return, the Trilogy DS15 is something but Bro the SLEDGE!
The Judge is a way better shotgun in my opinion, way to slow of a reload, but it is fun
ZURU X-SHOT DART are very fun to use in that one 👍🏼
I got one and got an extra 6 shells for it..cause I consider 9 a lucky number..take a look at my user name and I'm sure you'll figure it out. I did TWO mods on mine and it was simple mods that required only a screwdriver. I did the simple spring adjustment mod that made the ejecting action stronger so it would actually lift the shells out and depending on the angle, eject them fully..that was a mod that could be done with the stock spring used for that mechanism and just slightly altering the position of it.

I agree walcomS7 nerf is lacking lately that’s why I’ve gone to airsoft👍….but hopefully I can love nerf again one day!
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”
If they made a double barrelled version of this blaster then I could easily use it as if it were the super shotgun from Doom
man I wanted that gun ever since I was kid I would buy one off Amazon but it's like 99.99 for plus shipping I really wish I could have one of those you got a steal my guy
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.
Now that they started making pro blasters, they should definitely make a pro sledgefire.
Didn’t expected a video like this considering nowadays you just keep uploading unboxing and review videos
This is literally just a modernized nock gun and im all for it.
My Sledgefire's barrel broke off, and I have not the epoxy skill to re-glue it...
I hope this doesn't mean Nerf is going the way of Super Soaker
I used to have this gun but now it is gone cuz some kids WHO hidden it somewhere when i hade a broken ankel
The sledgefire is probably in my top 10 of most fun blasters.
Is there a video you can point me to of yours that explains nerf wars/games how they work and what the objective is etc. I'm really interested in a video like that.
I actually found a sledgefire at a goodwill, too! I didn't buy it, because it only had one broken shell, and the thing looked dirtier than an anime fan's underwear.
Ya know, imagine if hasbro made an n-strike stock for this. We could have had a sawn-off sledge fire!
walcom thank you for staying true to your self you are an insperation
I might be weird but… honestly my favorite blaster was the Nightfinder…
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
I love how Doom guy appeared on the screen when he was ranting about making the sledgefire a double-barrel
Reminds me I still need to mod mine. I have a beefier spring but with that installed the prime doesn't catch all the way, and I haven't found a fix for that yet.
They should bring it back also slingfire and hemmershot (i mean the whole series they should continue again)
What about the roughcut? You don’t need shells and it’s a classic.
I hope you’re right, but considering it was thrifted it might have like an internal mod installed
Rep that Build shirt Walcom
I got my Drive one not too long ago
The f-zero sound track is awesome!! You always pick the best music
