      Damn they coulda made MONEY with dat m1 garand. Other clip fed blasters wouldve been cool too. Imagine a clip fed lever action rifle, with those straw darts. Or a type 100 mechanical full auto smg. Heck, they couldve made side clip fed sniper rifle but with a twist. The clip would be only 1 dart length, but the dart diameter is BIG. Missed opportunities, man :(

      I feel like if they didn't add a crazy gimmick in every blaster that made them damn near impossible to use effectively and marketed the straws as a new and revolutionary type of ammo that could out compete foam darts, then I feel like the company would've been a great success.

  • @gamerguy425
    @gamerguy425 3 ปีที่แล้ว +96

    I think the arrival of accufakes, rival, and eventually waffleheads/half darts was a bit of a nail in the coffin. Now they're kind of obsolete because they shoot less far than nerf and their accuracy has been matched or beaten. If they came back they'd have to start out all over again with a new ammo source or ignore the FPS limit thing.
    The clips were also quite annoying because you could insert them too far unlike a magazine you could just jam in without thinking.
    They had some worthy ideas and they will definitely be remembered as an interesting footnote in blaster history

    • @bottlely

    I still have my Rapid Madness and it’s one of the coolest designs I’ve ever seen. I lost the 20 round clip, so I have a 8 round clip and I have 6 straws left. But I took it to a friends nerf war one day. (2018) They had at least 30 different top of the line nerf blasters. (I had 2 rival Apollo’s that were labeled too powerful) and they said that rapid madness what the coolest gun they’ve ever seen. Even though I didn’t have bullets, we’d fire it off to scare the other team to not move so we could reposition. Best underrated, colt classic, air powered machine gun blaster ever.

    Can't say I think too highly of Mattell after BoomCo went down the toilet. They bought Mega Bloks and rebranded them and I'm worried they'll go down too. I love their Halo sets!

    One day, while I was sitting on a sofa watching TH-cam videos. My little brother walked up to me with a BoomCo pistol behind his back. He walked up to me and said, hey there. I said "whats up?" then that was the moment where he pulled out the pistol and shot my eye, I was crawling on the floor crying and my grandpa heard my cries. He rushed over to see me holding my eye and crying on the floor and immediatly knew what happened. While he was trying to do something about my eye, my brother just stood there. Laughing about how he shot my eye. Laughing and talking about how this was be how I died. My grandpa shouted at him and tended to my eye.
    After all that. My grandpa took all the nerf and BoomCo blasters he found, and just yeeted them into the trash. All of my blasters except the only one in my bedroom..
    All of them were freaking expensive. All bought by me, all just simply yeeted into the trash bin outside..

    With the clips (that were much better than magazines) BoomCo had a big potential.

      If only you could actually smash the clips into place with no worry of it flying out the other side. That, would have been nice.

      @@daciannation5847 agreed you think for someone going against a brand as big as nerf you think they would have R&D'd the shit out of them to make sure all these flaws except the darts werent a issue but i guess companies in a feast or famine market never seem to learn

    Here’s another banger: maybe they should make older guns with BoomCo new stripper clips. Like a BoomCo K98k or Mosin Nagant. Perhaps a Sten could be made.

    I think part of their problem was focusing on clips instead of magazines.
    Real life guns use clips to load an integrated magazine, and the closest thing you'll see to what BoomCo did with their clips are the removable cylinders in some revolvers.
    Hell, BoomCo's Straws are technically far better suited for magazines than darts since they can't be squished and deformed by the spring pressure.
    It baffles me that they thought clips were in any way a good idea.

    Yeah, unfortunate story. Sad downfall, because I always thought BoomCo blasters were really cool, and they could still be making cool things; it's a big shame they aren't. Luckily, we at least have lots of foam blaster modders and creators to still bring original things to the table. Good video!

    @steampunksamp80 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I remember wanting the shot gun so bad, and the pistol too, I still have my rifle, it is by far the best fort that air system, because the sound works well enough to pass off as the sound of a halo assault rifle firing

  • @noahboat580
    @noahboat580 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Pffff toy blasters are sick. My personal favorite as a kid was the Buzz Bee Toy's DB shotgun. I had some sort of nerf assault rifle that was yellow/uses magazines, but the fact you can eject plastic shells was badass, and you had 4 of them. I bet those plastic shells are a pretty penny online, then again who remember buzz bee toys?...

    The boomco Needler and the Magnum were the best guns. Most replica guns are usually built with a wildly different design to be practical or they get proportions wrong but those two were built perfectly

    interesting video, I have Nerf and i heard about BoomCo but never able to get hold of it, sad to see BoomCo gone. probably Habro will copy that straw ammo after BoomCo dead...who knows. thanks for the video. this is first time watching your channel. love from Malaysia. take care, stay safe.
