seeing the switchfire gives me a vague idea for a moduar system of various firing mechanisms to replace the standard one based on the situation. dunno how far it can go tho.
I would love to see those "Wii game blasters" on a wrist band for a quick 4-shot deal without taking up both hands. Maybe a finger button to trigger the launch mechanism.
Excellent. Starting next week it will get more interesting as I plan to start doing revolvers. But I will also be spacing them out more. I hammered through these to make filler while I built my Etsy and commission stuff.
Captain Xavier of the 501st, you have made yourself my next target, there is now a high price on your head and you will pay for joining the Empire. Yours truly, Alxieous
Did you have to upgrade the dart tag/clear shot catch spring. Do you think it would support a Snapfire (the single shot orange pistol) spring addition?
Would you ever consider redoing some of these older videos, to give them some of the stuff you do now, like showing how the upgrade affects the FPS and accuracy?
Yeah...I cover that in the video. It was originally released as the StormFire in the Dart Tag series but later re-released as the Clearshot in the Zombie Strike line.
Go rewatch A New Hope. Specifically, the Detention Center scene. The guard who approaches Han, Luke, and Chewie draws a DH-17. So does the officer in charge. www.flickriver.com/photos/89573038@N04/16215176200/ So unless you are suggesting those were rebels...
Interesting note on the history of "Captain Xavier." I originally used that persona in medieval recreation and he was a French pirate. Capitaine E'Xavier de Normandie. I spoke only with a French accent and for years people thought it was my real accent.
I was watching some videos talking about silly twitter dramas and outrage, stuff that makes you feel negative emotions, as I was consuming what's being fed like a helpless creature. And I had to stop it, so I closed the video, then I saw this vid on my feed--I jumped on it (figuratively). I should fix my bad habit of playong youtube video whenever I can, but while I still have that habit, I'd rather fill that with positive, interesting or informative stuff, like your videos. Just wanted to say thank you, it felt really nice to see the thumbnail of your video, haha
can we please see a video where the pistol is not IX.Like a vintage blaster or something from the larami line.I mean those are the things which need an actual upgrade.
I will be getting to other blasters eventually. Season 1 is single shot pistols. Season 2 will be Revolvers. Season 3 will be Mag fed. Give me time. There are lots and lots of blasters to get through. :)
Captain Xavier this was the fastest youtube reply ever.I am one of the few adults in my country who nerf.And yeah your mods inspire me. P.S. I wish there was an active nerf scene in India.
I do not have a chrono. I am also still looking for a good location to do range tests. Big city problem. But in general all these modded pistols have been hitting at least 75ft flat.
I am working on getting a range set up and saving up for a chrono (they are oddly expensive). I also got a bow scale. Soon I will be able to give all sorts of maths on what exactly my upgrades improve.
So, does the Clear Shot require a heavier catch spring in order to work with a K26? Also, could you provide me links to where I can find a K26 and a proper catch spring for it?
Yes it does and no I cannot. K26 can be bought from McMaster-Carr and I do not have a source for catch springs. I have collected mine of the years from many sources.
When I first painted EIR I wanted her to look "tactical" so I painted her black. But left all the orange parts orange so as to not get shot by the cops. I then made all my gear match EIR.
It varies wildly. It is based on the cost of parts and the time involved. A simple commission can be as little as $30. A big one can get into the hundreds of dollars.
Well my first thought was a knife that fires its blade...but that should too ridiculous...so I googled it...and that is exactly what it is...I am making this happen!
The sad thing is that you cannot have a functioning nerf gun in the 501st. You can use the shell but it has to be completely deactivated, including lights.
I'm sure he will. He normally uses O Fortuna (from Carmina Burana). He went with this version of Offenbach's Can-Can music for this series of videos, because it (and they) are kind of silly.
...no...there are no nerf blasters that can take a full 11in k26. It would be physically impossible to even fit that much k26 in them much less have the structural integrity to survive priming it. Most Nerf springs are closer to 3-4ins.
I have a commission, but I don't know if you could do it, get the star wars blaster you featured in this vid, put a MONSTEROUS homeade plunger tube in.
Captain Xavier A ballistic knife is a plastic knife used by Russian Special Forces (Spetsnaz) that the blade can be ejected out, rather than it's usual knifey purposes.
Watch the Detention block scene from A New Hope. All the Imperial officers are carrying them. Thanks, I am pleased with it. However, I do not discuss prices in the comments.
when I saw the axe come out to open the rebel blaster, I couldn't stop laughinh
Excellent! I was going for humor. :P
you get a k26, you get a k26, you all get a k26
jjjacer get out, Oprah, lel
Would you say that this, Episode IV, gives you A New Hope for a Star Wars blaster?
Get out...
That's great:)
You sir, have an excellent sense of humor.
Snorri Bjorn no more, you have my mercy, no more puns.
lol
seeing the switchfire gives me a vague idea for a moduar system of various firing mechanisms to replace the standard one based on the situation. dunno how far it can go tho.
How about you doing a drain blaster shoulder cannon
That shell for the rebel blaster... I NEED IT
The hotshock shell is pretty amazing too
eBay my dude...
Or r/NerfExchange . Or Craigslist. Or Goodwill.
4 for 4! That was amazing.
Everything is coming up Milhouse
fununcle lol
Glad to see you do the switch shot. I was hoping it would take a k-26
7:17 CaptainX.exe has stopped working
No one messes with the 501st
where do you get k26 springs, and also it would be cool to see if a hammershot and/or a strong arm will take a k26
The link is in the description. And I will be covering revolver and hammer primed blasters soon.
thanks
Hope your channel grows you are already one of my favorite youtbers
Me too. Thanks!
I would love to see those "Wii game blasters" on a wrist band for a quick 4-shot deal without taking up both hands. Maybe a finger button to trigger the launch mechanism.
YES PLEASE!!!!!
Dear god, Captain Xavier. You madman.
:D
I've been enjoying this series.
Excellent. Starting next week it will get more interesting as I plan to start doing revolvers. But I will also be spacing them out more. I hammered through these to make filler while I built my Etsy and commission stuff.
Hmm, the switch fire could easily be used as a wrist mounted back up, or an under barrel attachment.
Every thing is a nightfinder reshell, even the jolt.... and the rapidstrike!
No, everything is a 1969 Nerf Ball reshell. Do your research! :P
The clearshot can take a pretty good spring upGEIRd!
That Star Wars blaster will be shooting lasers
A 3-D printed trigger mech for the switch shot would be amazing
Ex switch shot is my all time favorite. Did you change the catch spring since you upgrade to a k26
Yes
Captain Xavier thanks for the quick reply. Now I need to grab some k26 springs. Is brass breach a big increase or cpvc good enough? Brass so pricey
(shrugs) I have not compared the two.
Captain Xavier of the 501st, you have made yourself my next target, there is now a high price on your head and you will pay for joining the Empire.
Yours truly,
Alxieous
Captain Xavier I'm not a rebel, I am a Stormcloak and Dovahkiin! Fear me imperial buckethead!
XD Oh common! You are mixing genres just to confuse me! :P
Captain Xavier Fus Ro Dahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! XD
*blows up your planet from space Who's laughing now! :P
Captain Xavier I am, bc I shouted Become Ethereal so I'm invincible trololololololololoLOL!
The Wii game was flippin awesome. makes me want a wii again
I have one of those rebel trooper blasters and want to upgrade it so much, would love to see what all you had to do in order to modify it.
I will do a full mod video on it now that I have the tools needed to brass barrels easily.
What about the droid attack on the Wookiee’s
Did you have to upgrade the dart tag/clear shot catch spring. Do you think it would support a Snapfire (the single shot orange pistol) spring addition?
Yes, and probably
Captain Xavier thanks. Turned out the spring was too small so I put an x shot scope spring in it. Catches fine works better.
Captain: it'll take K26 like a champion
Me: the Champion couldn't take a K26 tho...
+Jackson Gomez ...I see what you did there...
Hey congrats on 100k views, I've been subbed ever since walcom put a link to your channel and I will stay here till TH-cam shuts down
DoogMan1 well... now it's 8,000,000 views...
The hotshock looks cool, but the star wars blaster is epic
Jeremy Lopat yea
what is your Etsy page, can you link it in the discretion
he hasnt made it yet.
Here you go: etsy.me/2ELpSYN
Would you ever consider redoing some of these older videos, to give them some of the stuff you do now, like showing how the upgrade affects the FPS and accuracy?
isn't the stormfire the clearshot? and hotshocks can be made into awesome ultra match blästers
Yeah...I cover that in the video. It was originally released as the StormFire in the Dart Tag series but later re-released as the Clearshot in the Zombie Strike line.
what size drill bit are you using and what size or sizes of brass are you using great video.
17/32 for both.
thanks again, weren't you on walcom's channel and mad that drain blaster.
Yup. He is the reason I finally made a TH-cam channel
sorry to inform you that the star wars gun is only used by the rebels in the movies that have them
Wanna bet?
Go rewatch A New Hope. Specifically, the Detention Center scene. The guard who approaches Han, Luke, and Chewie draws a DH-17. So does the officer in charge.
www.flickriver.com/photos/89573038@N04/16215176200/
So unless you are suggesting those were rebels...
Clean sweep! Cheeki Breeki
I have one of them rebel trooper blasters. What exactly did you do to open it? Because I'm terrified of breaking mine
I used a razor blade to cut the end caps. Once through I was able to open the blaster enough to get the internals out.
I'll give that a shot. thank you!
THAT is a French accent *gasp* you should dress up as a French officer and make a foam saber, that would be so COOL!
Interesting note on the history of "Captain Xavier." I originally used that persona in medieval recreation and he was a French pirate. Capitaine E'Xavier de Normandie. I spoke only with a French accent and for years people thought it was my real accent.
congrats on 3k subs
Can you use the Magnus spring on the stormfire?
I have no idea.
Captain Xavier I just tried it it was to big saw cutted down but the catch wasn't working so yeah
Sweet buttery goodness....
this is really good
the hotshock would just SEND elite darts chaylo!
wait for it...
LittleBiglsteele also you could.male it shoot rival that would be cool
yep!
WAIT FOR IT...
When I was really little I got that Star Wars gun For Easter.
where can I get my hands on some k26
McMaster-Carr
how much does a k26 cost
Bo vine tv $12 for 5 11in coils. plus shipping.
Captain Xavier thanks i love you thift and loadout videos
I was watching some videos talking about silly twitter dramas and outrage, stuff that makes you feel negative emotions, as I was consuming what's being fed like a helpless creature. And I had to stop it, so I closed the video, then I saw this vid on my feed--I jumped on it (figuratively).

P.S. I wish there was an active nerf scene in India.
I happened to be sitting at my computer.
That is tragic. You shall have to be the Nerf Prophet there! Spread the good word of Nerf!
will definitely do so
Just a question when you modify the blaster could you do a chrono reading or a range reading?
I do not have a chrono. I am also still looking for a good location to do range tests. Big city problem. But in general all these modded pistols have been hitting at least 75ft flat.
Captain Xavier k thx I'll consider your word
I am working on getting a range set up and saving up for a chrono (they are oddly expensive). I also got a bow scale. Soon I will be able to give all sorts of maths on what exactly my upgrades improve.
M too I saw one for 300 $
this is prolly a dumb question but wut r u cutting the spring with? waiting for the hot shock to come to the great white north
Bolt cutters
I really appreciate u taking the time to answer such a stupid question lol... I can't wait to buy some shit on etsy
E. Sh I'm not sure that is a stupid question, so many people use dremels, because they don't think of bolt cutters which is a far better solution.
Lol thanx... I reeeelly didn't want to resort to my Dremel...glad I asked.
You have a n strike elite switch shot
YoLoPLayZ gAmeZ HE SAID IT IN THE VIDEO
Do a video on can the Mediator take a k26?
What's the music does he use in the transitions?
+Itz_Average YT it should be in the description.
where do you buy the k26 springs?
Mr. The Fish Bros in the description
So, does the Clear Shot require a heavier catch spring in order to work with a K26?
Also, could you provide me links to where I can find a K26 and a proper catch spring for it?
Yes it does and no I cannot. K26 can be bought from McMaster-Carr and I do not have a source for catch springs. I have collected mine of the years from many sources.
Sorry for the mistake it auto corrected
That looks like the zombie strike clear shot, the first contestant.
jonfundy ? It essentially is
0:42 and then re-released in the elite series
But at the time it’s in the lease
Your standard colors (Orange and black) are a great combination! How did you think of it?
When I first painted EIR I wanted her to look "tactical" so I painted her black. But left all the orange parts orange so as to not get shot by the cops. I then made all my gear match EIR.
Captain Xavier Oh cool! I just found that combination by painting a car in a video game.
Where do you buy the k26 springs from?
+Everything Doge Out of Darts Etsy shop
Captain Xavier ok thank you
how much do you charge for commissions on average?
It varies wildly. It is based on the cost of parts and the time involved. A simple commission can be as little as $30. A big one can get into the hundreds of dollars.
Mic has definitely been improved since this video
I would hope so. If my videos had not improved at all after almost 4 years...that would be kinda sad...
you should wrist mount the first three
Can you please give the Hotshock a K26 and make it shot rival rounds?
...I already did...
You should use an electric drill to open up the Nerf guns
Make the switch shot into a ballistic knife then tell Walcom. He apparently really wants that.
What is a ballistic knife?
-senpai noticed me-
boi
how can you make blessed with the ability to make amazing nerf guns
but don't know what a ballistic knife is
Well my first thought was a knife that fires its blade...but that should too ridiculous...so I googled it...and that is exactly what it is...I am making this happen!
Tell Walcom I suggested it
Walcom will know who you're talking about, but make sure to refer to me as Seiji. Don't question it, just do it~
4:37 to think that this entire series started because Captain Xavier bought too much K26 for a Hotshock...
Bobert Johnson Yup...that is exactly what started it...
can you do a lawbringer or a vagabond?
If I ever get one, I will give them a try.
The sad thing is that you cannot have a functioning nerf gun in the 501st. You can use the shell but it has to be completely deactivated, including lights.
...lame...
Tfw he gets so irritated taking apart the rebel blaster, he just start throwing springs at it
I hit it with a hatchet at one point...it had it coming...
clean sweep
XD I thought that was a suggestion for another blaster. I googled it and got nothing...then I figured it out. :P
Aha nice! How is the mounted shoulder nitron idea going?
It is on the list...somewhere...
Captain Xavier looking forward to it
will you change you music please?
I'm sure he will. He normally uses O Fortuna (from Carmina Burana). He went with this version of Offenbach's Can-Can music for this series of videos, because it (and they) are kind of silly.
I need to buy some k26 springs
Link is in the description. :)
The first blaster "the clear shot" Really surprised me!! Did you make the k26 shorter by cutting it?
Yes. I have to cut the spring for all of them. K26 comes in 11in coils.
have there ever been any winners yet that you didnt have to shorten the spring for?
...no...there are no nerf blasters that can take a full 11in k26. It would be physically impossible to even fit that much k26 in them much less have the structural integrity to survive priming it. Most Nerf springs are closer to 3-4ins.
Can you make a Metal Nerf blaster that can take a full k26 from scratch. It will be your homemade Moster blaster.
You would need a winch to prime it...like a war crossbow...that would seriously hurt people...and now I kinda want one...
BOI that’s a rebel blaster
Seriously...have you never watched Star Wars Episode IV: a New Hope?
@Will Williams precisely!
If i went to a nerf war and saw all the guns that you use, i would run in the opposite direction
Or you could come stand next to me...that is always an option. :P
Hold on if hasbro doesn't want us to modify these things why do they allow you to take it apart?
So you can repair it.
Captain Xavier you are one of my favourite youtubers I hope you will reply but probably not. : )
I want to see a Nerf primaries episode like a Retaliator or an Alpha Trooper
Season 3 will cover mag fed blasters.
Captain Xavier What Season are we on right now?
what is your etsy page
Cman5785 not up yet bud
the etsy page or the blasters?
Cman5785 Nerfing both
Cman5785 Nerfing both
I am working on it as fast as I can! :P Give me time! (flails frantically)
I have a commission, but I don't know if you could do it, get the star wars blaster you featured in this vid, put a MONSTEROUS homeade plunger tube in.
Make the switch fire into a ballistic knife that would be cool just imagine
What is a ballistic knife?
Captain Xavier A ballistic knife is a plastic knife used by Russian Special Forces (Spetsnaz) that the blade can be ejected out, rather than it's usual knifey purposes.
and so he did
The clear shot didn’t last
Fyi LoL
BUT THE DH17 IS USED BY REBEL TROOPS
As well as by Imperial Officers...learn your canon... :P
I haven't heard of it yet but ok. But! I like the bullpup retaliator you made. How much would you sell it for?
Watch the Detention block scene from A New Hope. All the Imperial officers are carrying them.
Thanks, I am pleased with it. However, I do not discuss prices in the comments.
oh I haven't seen a new hope in a while. So should I email you about the bullpup retaliator? I'll title it Bullpup Retaliator Price
Can you see if the Rival apallo will take one. or the Magnus. Those are Pistols.
how do I comission?
Email is in the About page of my channel
thanks
Better to join the 404th!
Never! Long live the Empire! :P
I want to do this
do the hammer shot, we all love them. Except for WalcomS7, he hates it
Can’t wait to join the 501st! but seeing as you half to be 18.......and I’m 12...........I have a while
Howto and style? More like game show!
U called the hotshock :bigshock
Probably, I also tend to call the BigShot or HotShot rather than Shock. These things happen.
Captain Xavier where do you get your k26 springs???
What is a k26
It is a spring. The name comes from the manufacturer's serial number for it.
That’s a rebel standard issue blaster not imperial
Ha, caught another one! Better go brush up on your Star Wars lore.
can you do an alpha trooper
Eventually, yes. Season 1 is single shot pistols. Season 2 will be revolvers. Season 3 will be mag fed.
ok cool thanks cap
You actually have the elite one
I think your trying to say the switch shot, that you forgot to specify
Yeah, I thought it might be but the logo just says N-strike rather than N-strike elite so I was not sure.
Theres blasters that are N strike blue that Arnt elites. like the N strike Blue longshot! thats not elite! but its blue.
Maxwell Dees I know, but the longshot is commonly referred to as elite by many others, so it makes it easier to say
Magazine fed blasters
I will get to them.
do the sharpfire
cycloneshock
can my rayven take a K26?
Yes
The real question is, can you take a K26?
It has already been established that my system is hydraulic, not spring powered. So no. :(
