The rotofury is highly underrated. Still my favourite blaster. There's a pretty serious prejudice against mega in the nerf community, and that consequently hurts the prospect of specialized rules. But I've always felt that megas should have a special effect. You can carry less of them and they are less accurate. I think that justifies the enhanced ability.
I don't know if this is just me but I really miss seeing the statistics of the before and after the K26. I feel as though it really puts into perspective how much the blaster is improved by. I don't know I'm just nerdy for numbers :)
The centurion plunger reminds me of the stampede in how the firing works. I have a stampede I worked on for 10 hours with breaks for snacks, it was from a goodwill and only primed half way before the motor quit. Manual fire with the blaster open was... interesting.
I mean, I've heard of Rotofuries being finicky and heard of them stripping regardless, but nothing definitive. Regardless, it is definitely a viable load on fly primary with the spring upgrade (and if you don't need Megas, a rebarrel). Also fascinating to see the overengineered mess known as the Centurion deconstructed further.
I upgraded my doublebreech and the priming handle snapped. Harvested its plunger tube and am now working on using a section of it on an XPT nitefinder.
Personally, I expected the Centurion to never take K26, seeing as I got one of the Grey-trigger buggers shortly after they launched here. Best thing I can think of to do with the Centurion to upgrade it (and not scrapping it for shell) without upgrading the spring - convert it to "HPA" like MTB-Ryan's Sledgefire.
Even though the Rotofury can technically take a K26, the telescoping plunger rod makes it very brittle. I recommend reinforcing the point where the rod connects to the head with epoxy so it doesn't break.
So I got a broken centurion at my local thrift store so I decided to pick it up and try to fix it I need that Halo sniper feel But then he teleports past the picture of the internals I desperately need That’s just funny 😆 Looks like I will have to be a wizard too
The rapidstrike stock is very comfy on the rotofury. I did it once and it was hideous but very comfortable. I defiently recommend it if you decide to not do a stock mount.
something cool that I (or you) could do with a doublebreach is to take off the dart holders, add a reverse rail to it, attach it to the side rail of a blaster, and attach the modulus tri-strike mega barrel thing and have something really cool for the 2 blasters that have a side rail and a barrel point.
The centurion fires fine without the barrel, and you can remove the barrel by prying it off with a screw driver without damage, in fact, I run mine without the barrel
Captain Xavier, I suggest that perhaps you could then use the k2 rotofury as a primary with it singled for elite darts like I have. You could use PVC to therefore achieve this and have a really high powered top off blaster. ;)
Captain, Do you know how much a red Vulcan is worth? I have one with everything it comes with, and I may sell it but want to know what it's worth! Keep doin your great vids!!!!
Personally, I love the Double Breach and Centurion. The Cent is simply a fun blaster and for the wars I partake in we rate Mega hits as worth double when playing game modes where you have either timed respawns, or a certain number of hits before being out. Makes Mega's have a place without ruining the function of standard guns.
I know this is an older video Captain but you may be wrong about the Centurion. The spring doesn't actually go around the white bit on the bolt. The white bit is actually a sleeve that the spring sits inside of. There is a mod guide for the Centurion by an Australian nerfer who can be quoted saying "They should have called this the Phoenix because in order to improve its performance you have to kill it and make it rise from the ashes." I haven't gotten around to modding mine but I intend to.
Captain Xavier Ah. I've gotten a few of those... I'm building a Bolt Gundam cosplay armor for 2018 ComiCon San Diego. I'm relying on a heat gun and lots of PVC and ABS for the bulk of the armor, and I've snagged, scratched, scraped, and/or cut myself at least a dozen times just getting the chest and arms roughed in.
Interesting, the rotofury works in a similar way to my flipfury. Which isn't that supprising considering its basicly a larger version. Also, I believe you can separate solvent welded parts by putting them in boiling water.
I hope it is on the docket already, But I wonder if the Dart Zone Magnum superdrum can take a K26 and does it improve the performance? (I saw you got one in the recent thrift run.)
I love the Magnum. My only gripes are that the drum is not removable without light modification (just use e-tape to hold the catches down) and that the wrist thing is super unsteady. I plan to get a couple more at my next Target run and turn the wrist rests into handguards.
Here's a good question. Do you know of any mod kits that give the Rotofury metal internals? I've been wanting to make something for mine because I pound on the poor girl at my DR LARP in Mass. and I want to treat her to something special. I've thought about sourta "machining" my own parts out of steel/aluminum rods and plates, but I haven't done it yet. Plus, I want to try and make metal gears (Not Metal Gear) and the rod for it somehow. Any thoughts?
Just put k26 in my Rotofury and now most of the time I go to prime it, it just slam fire and it only catch sometime. Any thoughts on what I did wrong? and how I can fix it?
Now if I prime it fast it works but if I do it slow it slams. I'll just call it good for now and mess with it again when I take it apart to attempt rear load mod. Thanks for the help.
One piece of advice, and feature that I'd like to see: when you fire the blaster, you should tilt the camera up so the user can watch how well the dart is flying out of the barrel downrange. Makes it much more meaningful to see how well the k26 affected the performance from POV
Given that I am firing it in my shop...it isn't going to tell you much. When I remember to I do chrono readings and ranges tests but it was pouring rain so I didn't.
if only the centurion had as long a plunger tube and small enough plunger rod so that an insanely large K-26 that accompanies the ridiculously long prime and just launches the darts away, man what a missed opportunity
Get some of the worker Mega Converters for the roto furry so that way it would be an insane elite blaster aswell as being able to go back to mega for any evil plans you have.
Did you hurt your finger? I'll probably K26 my Rotofury now, what length of K26 did you use? I look forward to the bow episode and the revolver episode!
Could you try out the rotofury 3D printed shotgun cylinder? It's on eBay, and I've been kind of doubtful that it will work at all, considering that it has a barrel, but I was wondering if you could make a video about it.
Captain Xavier they aren't in stock rn, but make sure to keep an eye out. Also, they are kind of pricey, about 40$, and they also need some minor modifications to the shell to work. But, I figured you would like that kind of thing. Also, on the lanard triple shot, would it be possible to have 3 sledgefire shells on the cylinder, and 1/2 inch pvc thread? I thought it might be neat to keep to quick reload ability without sacrificing modularity.
Actually for real a cool idea for the double breech is to drill out the ars then rebarrel one barrel to shoot an elite so that way you fire an elite and a mega at the same time... wait hold that thought.
I do as well..Though part of me wants to also K26 a rotofury and get an OMW rebarrel for elites...That might be a bit overkill though. That and I lack any real ability to do these things lol
What does acme even stand for? And I wish they didn't make the centurion so overly complicated, the only use I see in it mod wise is shoving a air tank in it and making it a true nerf sniper
No, it does not have a solid plunger tube like most blasters. It has a hollow one that the air passed through. It is a very strange design and there is a reason most people don't even try to mod them. They are overly complex and very resistant to modification.
Centurion might be overengineered and functionally crap, but by the gods that sound it makes when you fire is satisfying as hell.
*SIN-DINTS*
I 100% agree
KA CHUNK
Also the vibrations in the stock making you (kind of) feel recoil
🤤
I like how the Centurion is so unnecessarily big that it just dwarfs the Doublebreach and the Rotofury
Its for sniper status
You are brave for even considering opening the centurion.
lance alderson I took apart a deploy and greased it
lance alderson
That is very true.
I took apart one to make a hpa blaster and I will be opening another to keep stock with no locks.
fox colberg Rival Balls, man.
The rotofury is highly underrated. Still my favourite blaster. There's a pretty serious prejudice against mega in the nerf community, and that consequently hurts the prospect of specialized rules. But I've always felt that megas should have a special effect. You can carry less of them and they are less accurate. I think that justifies the enhanced ability.
Honestly I feel like the Centurion is responsible for most of the Mega hate.
Honestly, I have a rotofury, I shoot it a ton and I always wondered why no one ever talks about them
I love the rotofury, had a broken one and scrapped for parts, that spring is super beefy and is the perfect size for most of the blasters I use
I imagine that a rotofury rebarreled for half darts would be an absolute beast
@@blobfishiant8487 with an in line tube in the barrels, I would shit my pants if I saw that on the field
I don't know if this is just me but I really miss seeing the statistics of the before and after the K26. I feel as though it really puts into perspective how much the blaster is improved by. I don't know I'm just nerdy for numbers :)
It is not just you. I miss that too.
I'd call the type of plunger in the centurion an inverse plunger
Metro_501 I'd call it clown shoes silly.
That seems correct although you can nearly can that thing a plunger tube, because it literally has holes in the plunger tube
I call it "the result of some cheeky wanker at Hasbro making a shitty plunger"
inbred plunger
The centurion plunger reminds me of the stampede in how the firing works. I have a stampede I worked on for 10 hours with breaks for snacks, it was from a goodwill and only primed half way before the motor quit. Manual fire with the blaster open was... interesting.

captain xavier is a wizard and a good guy he helped me fix my retaliator on the nerf diagnostic and repairs
Same here!
I upgraded my doublebreech and the priming handle snapped. Harvested its plunger tube and am now working on using a section of it on an XPT nitefinder.
Personally, I expected the Centurion to never take K26, seeing as I got one of the Grey-trigger buggers shortly after they launched here.

Did you really catch a bug before you opened the Centurion? That is amazing.
i have both the rotofury and double breach thank you for doing this video
same
SO DO I
The Doublebreach is a gray trigger variant
So I got a broken centurion at my local thrift store so I decided to pick it up and try to fix it
I need that Halo sniper feel
But then he teleports past the picture of the internals I desperately need
That’s just funny 😆
Looks like I will have to be a wizard too
My friends Centurion's barrel piece broke off at the perfect point and it did actually still fire without the barrel
5:39 You could also ty and link the pump grip to the Breech door for easyer reloads.
Very true.
The rapidstrike stock is very comfy on the rotofury. I did it once and it was hideous but very comfortable. I defiently recommend it if you decide to not do a stock mount.
something cool that I (or you) could do with a doublebreach is to take off the dart holders, add a reverse rail to it, attach it to the side rail of a blaster, and attach the modulus tri-strike mega barrel thing and have something really cool for the 2 blasters that have a side rail and a barrel point.
thank you captain xavier thank you so much
you can use (and im not joking) a superglue soacked napkin peice to hold the barrel lock in place
The centurion fires fine without the barrel, and you can remove the barrel by prying it off with a screw driver without damage, in fact, I run mine without the barrel
Since the cinturion is so overly complicated would you be willing to use the stock for an integration?
Captain Xavier, I suggest that perhaps you could then use the k2 rotofury as a primary with it singled for elite darts like I have. You could use PVC to therefore achieve this and have a really high powered top off blaster. ;)
great to know about these captain I just bought a roto fury not to long ago and it is on the top of my list for mods.
Captain,
Do you know how much a red Vulcan is worth? I have one with everything it comes with, and I may sell it but want to know what it's worth!
Keep doin your great vids!!!!
The Cosmic Gamer it's a very rare gun they go up to 300$ the most
Yes, very valuable. Pretty much all the Crimson blasters are.
Captain Xavier I have one too. I've seen a few for sale fairly cheap. Mostly people selling their kids old blasters.
Hey captain Xavier does the slam fire still work on the double breach
The Cosmic Gamer they are worth a considerable sum of money
6:46 you can take it apart pry it forward and put a thing in a hole thing idk whats its called and it comes off
Could you chono the before and after on the rotofury please?
do think u can make the rotofury but switch out the fore grip for a pump grip
Personally, I love the Double Breach and Centurion. The Cent is simply a fun blaster and for the wars I partake in we rate Mega hits as worth double when playing game modes where you have either timed respawns, or a certain number of hits before being out. Makes Mega's have a place without ruining the function of standard guns.
MongooseJake same
Did you switch cameras at about 2:39?

Captain Xavier Whatcha do to your finger, Cap?
Colton Berreth
stop
Oddly, I cut it on some PVC while making a new attachment for EIR
EIR STRIKES AGAIN!
Captain Xavier what motors would you suggest for a rapid strike
Captain Xavier Ah. I've gotten a few of those... I'm building a Bolt Gundam cosplay armor for 2018 ComiCon San Diego. I'm relying on a heat gun and lots of PVC and ABS for the bulk of the armor, and I've snagged, scratched, scraped, and/or cut myself at least a dozen times just getting the chest and arms roughed in.
Does the centurion take k26 when it has the elite conversion kit that bobo reviewed a while back?
Interesting, the rotofury works in a similar way to my flipfury. Which isn't that supprising considering its basicly a larger version. Also, I believe you can separate solvent welded parts by putting them in boiling water.
I love my Rotofury, been tempted to send mine to you to tinker with and do a soundbox for it similar to Bobololo's American Stampede
whenever commissions open up again, of course
You mentioned the minimum coil amount for the roto fury was curious how many that ended up being for the k26 plan on doing this mod
No idea. I generally just go with the same length as the stock spring.
On Rival blasters, you don’t have to prime them to change the magazine.
This was a nice surprise. I really want all of them, Double Breach for cosplay and Centurion for integrations.
I hope it is on the docket already, But I wonder if the Dart Zone Magnum superdrum can take a K26 and does it improve the performance? (I saw you got one in the recent thrift run.)
Adam Markle yassssss!
It is. I plan to do it and Reaper together.
I love the Magnum. My only gripes are that the drum is not removable without light modification (just use e-tape to hold the catches down) and that the wrist thing is super unsteady. I plan to get a couple more at my next Target run and turn the wrist rests into handguards.
They sure as heck should be able to take a K26, considering they are so big they should have to problem fitting them in.
Could you rip of the front half of a centurion and make it a barrel attachment point?
Thanks for the Mega line. Any chance of putting a K26 in a Raptor strike?
I doubt it but we won't know until I get my hands on one...which could be a while...
you could but pvc or brass in the double breach and make it a shot gun that shoots elite darts
The centurion needs to be brought back into Mega XL. Obviously not the same name but the same concept. Basically just a mega XL cannon.
Here's a good question. Do you know of any mod kits that give the Rotofury metal internals? I've been wanting to make something for mine because I pound on the poor girl at my DR LARP in Mass. and I want to treat her to something special. I've thought about sourta "machining" my own parts out of steel/aluminum rods and plates, but I haven't done it yet. Plus, I want to try and make metal gears (Not Metal Gear) and the rod for it somehow. Any thoughts?
I think there are some metal gears out there but I do not have a source.
Captain Xavier I will have to locate such a thing and I'll send you the information if you like :)
Is there a torsion spring that is equivalent a normal K26?
Probably? But I do not know what it is.
how many coils of K26 Can the Rotofury take so i know where to cut mine?
I do not know. I cut it just slightly longer than the minimum to ensure there was not spring rattle.
ok will look at my spring when i take it apart later this week, thanks
Modular mega would be sweet
Just put k26 in my Rotofury and now most of the time I go to prime it, it just slam fire and it only catch sometime. Any thoughts on what I did wrong?
and how I can fix it?
You can try to increase the catch. Is there any pre-compression on the k26?
No pre-compression. The catch for the slam fire part on top?
Yeah, typically if it is not catching the culprit is the catch.
Now if I prime it fast it works but if I do it slow it slams. I'll just call it good for now and mess with it again when I take it apart to attempt rear load mod. Thanks for the help.

"fortunately for me, I happen to be a wizard!"- Captain Xavier
if only the centurion had as long a plunger tube and small enough plunger rod so that an insanely large K-26 that accompanies the ridiculously long prime and just launches the darts away, man what a missed opportunity
Nice background music captain... no wonder the FBI decided not to capture you
Sledge Striker you have to find somebody to capture them. The bunker is still undisclosed!
This gives me a reason to get a Double Breach. And a plan for that second Rotofury.
7:39 welcome to florida
Get some of the worker Mega Converters for the roto furry so that way it would be an insane elite blaster aswell as being able to go back to mega for any evil plans you have.
The Double *BREACH* is actually like breaching a room or breaking the law not as in *BREECH* loading pistols like the ionfire
...I am aware...but I didn't name the blaster. Hasbro called it the Doublebreach. Take it up with them...
can the imperial death trooper blaster take a k26
not sure if you have done this one
How many coils of k26 did you use for the rotofury
If I didn't say it in the video then I have no idea. :(
😿 all you said was “ the minimum amount without spring rattle”
Then you have as much information as I do. ;)
thanks
This should be a TH-cam Red series! It's that good!!
Casey's Comics HUSH. If they hear you, they might do it! I DONT WANNA PAY
Casey's Comics I'd get TH-cam red just to watch it.
Did you hurt your finger?
I'll probably K26 my Rotofury now, what length of K26 did you use?
I look forward to the bow episode and the revolver episode!
Yes.
The same length as the stock spring.
Which bows and revolvers have I not already covered?
Could you try out the rotofury 3D printed shotgun cylinder? It's on eBay, and I've been kind of doubtful that it will work at all, considering that it has a barrel, but I was wondering if you could make a video about it.
wait theres a rotofury one? WHAT?!?!? that is so cool! I knew they made em for
cyclone shocks.......
I was not away of this either...I REALLY want one now!
Captain Xavier they aren't in stock rn, but make sure to keep an eye out. Also, they are kind of pricey, about 40$, and they also need some minor modifications to the shell to work. But, I figured you would like that kind of thing. Also, on the lanard triple shot, would it be possible to have 3 sledgefire shells on the cylinder, and 1/2 inch pvc thread? I thought it might be neat to keep to quick reload ability without sacrificing modularity.
Captain Xavier do you have access to a 3D printer? I might be able to make one in Solidworks and send you the .stl
he has mentioned housing one for a friend and walcom might let him borrow his
so does the centerion have simulated recoil?
No, it has real recoil...just not from the round firing but from the bolt returning.
could I send my rotofury to you to fix? not even really fix, someone primed it while it was open and it's guts went everywhere
Brutal. If you pay for shipping here and back I will...but at that point it might be cheaper to buy a new one. :(
Captain Xavier ok
I might just buy a new one so I can put the spring in the old one
Commissions soon ?
What length of k26 do I need for the rotofury
Same length as the stock spring
Thanks Captain Xavier
I have 3 of the laser sight blater in the background if the double breach one
Wow...didn't know that it was reverse plungered...
Has the Captains finger been injured?
captain how much would a three stage fly wheel rayven cost so I can save up
I have no idea. I have never tried one...and really have no desire to.
Captain Xavier plz I will give 130 for a two stage
Captain Xavier I am crazy exited I just got a nite finder and and need a primary
That would not even cover the cost of parts much less the time and shipping costs...
Captain Xavier I just want the parts soldered together
Captain I'm sorry to say zombie squad 7 has been lost. we were ambushed and surrounded, I was the only survivor.
Nipples
Well...pants!
you should put a magnus or a buzzbee boss inside of the centurion.
You should do a video trying to make a spring and air and flywheel blaster of that is possible
WHAAAAAAT the centurion is reverse plunger why am I not suprised
u can buy direct plunger systems online for centurion my friend got one and I think he put a spring that is more powerful than k26 inside
Actually for real a cool idea for the double breech is to drill out the ars then rebarrel one barrel to shoot an elite so that way you fire an elite and a mega at the same time... wait hold that thought.
ooooh, I like this idea!
I do as well..Though part of me wants to also K26 a rotofury and get an OMW rebarrel for elites...That might be a bit overkill though. That and I lack any real ability to do these things lol
+Miryn I want to cut down the handles and epoxy another rotofurry to it
+Skyler Kirby with all acual mods
why not just run a crossfire?
dammit. The mega centurion disappoints again lol
The centurion looks like a Barret 50cal
Bangerang Mega!!
where do u buy you're k26 I can't find any
McMaster-Carr
brandon stovold and out of Darts on Etsy.
Capt. do you have a powerbolt yet?
No, but I have the older Buzzbee version of it.
Good. I'll throw it in a box for a slamfire episode
should of watched this before taking that part off my centurion... yeaaaah...
There was an audio change
I know the season is over but Dart Zone Magnum in the future?
It is on the list to be in next season. :)
my double was a total lemon. second barrel NEVER worked
Why is the double breach photo shop 😕
For the same reason it is not present in the recap.
Captain Xavier,
You should try and make a double titan tank over, under, shotgun
The centurion was such a disappointment. I liked the recoil feeling
so how are you liking out of darts at your wars
It is really fun when he is on your team...and hilarious when he is not. Seeing a wall of Rival rounds coming at you is amazing!
What does acme even stand for?
And I wish they didn't make the centurion so overly complicated, the only use I see in it mod wise is shoving a air tank in it and making it a true nerf sniper
It is an old Looney Tunes gag.
Yo, X, I need some brass! Where can I get it
Online. Hobby Stores, Hardware Stores, brass dealers on street corners.
How about a video on multi plunger blasters? E.g. Double shot, Vigilante, Dart Zone quad pack shotgun
Good thought. I don't have the last tow though.
Cap try and make a direct plunger centurion it should not be hard as then it’s like a less complex stampede
Can jolts take k26 well?
I covered that in a very early episode.
+Captain Xavier I don't remember seeing that but I have seen all of the videos on the channel. I guess I'm just a little out of it
that rotofury live long?
Still alive so far.
Could You Mod The Centurion Pump With PVC?
To do what?
To Take A K26?
No. The issue with the Centurion is that that K26 will not fit around the plunger rod.
What If You Used A Small Wooden Dowell For The Plunger Rod?
No, it does not have a solid plunger tube like most blasters. It has a hollow one that the air passed through. It is a very strange design and there is a reason most people don't even try to mod them. They are overly complex and very resistant to modification.
sick dood
