Honest Review: The ELITE Caliburn 4 (THE NEXT GENERATION OF 3D PRINTED PERFORMANCE)

Ойын-сауық

Captain Slug is one of the few Nerfers who has been in the hobby for as long as I have, and he's still putting out fantastic designs for the hobby. Here's the latest iteration of the Caliburn, the easily most prolific 3D printed blaster in the hobby.

    I wonder if I'm the only one waiting for the hilariously glorious day where we get a Mega XL Caliburn. If a Caliburn with a normal like k25 spring can get 220 or so with half darts, I would hope for over 100 even with Mega XL. Bonus would be that this would allow for a high power Caliburn to be under fps limits for many places, like my personal main HvZ - 120 fps Mega XL darts sound like they'd be prime for actual long range sniping with an fps cap.

  • @CaptainSlug

    The plunger tube material would have to be much bigger since the bolt arms moving out wide enough to straddle a Mega XL would make them not fit inside the 1-3/8" ID plunger tube. The Mega Caliburn can only manage 130 fps typically, so Mega XL won't work without more plunger volume. Don't expect me to make a Mega XLburn anytime soon given how few Megaburns I sell annually. The bow I'm working on will have Mega XL as an option, and that spigot will also be backwards compatible with the FLAK.

    @@CaptainSlug Woah, thanks for replying! I guess it does make sense that a Mega XLburn would be an extremely niche thing. I guess it would make sense that a Mega XLburn would require the plunger tube, and I guess by extension the rest of the blaster, to be significantly bigger, only seems right for the comedically massive ammo lol. I'll definitely be looking out for that new stuff you're working on, mega xl and its possibilities as a "low" fps long range ammo type are very exciting to me, so things that will be able to use it from big name high quality creators like you are very cool!

    I’m curious how the magwell holds up. I had a DevilZ magwell that broke on the rear where the plunger tube is held. I’m not sure how it happened.I am curious as to how solid the two piece magwell is. I would think that having it be in three pieces like the previous version would reduce stress on the entire magwell and make obtaining replacement parts easier.

    It can't be installed in older caliburn magwells since the other half of it is the side-by-side mag releases at the back of the magwell. The internal profile of the magwell also has to be cut out a bit at the rear to fit the square end of the talon mags. I do however have remixes of the older magwells available that allow this type of magwell to be added. So you can print and install one, or order the parts to do so.

    Captain slug offers hardware only kits as well as fill kits including the printed parts on his Etsy shop. I printed mine, I know that my printer is really dialed in for high quality. I did buy his hardware kit though. I had a bit of finishing to do, but overall I'm super happy. I bought both the lowest spring and the highest spring, and getting hit with the lowest spring at 35 feet gives a good sting.

    My take might be a bit more controversial, but as I see it, it's a regression from the Caliburn U in all core functions. The flat aluminum bars bend easily (and I have had to straighten them multiple times both in assembly and after even minor drops), the entire action is rougher, and assembly is far more difficult. I'd rather see the new features (passive magwell adapter, airbrake) retrofitted to the Caliburn U. It's better than the classic rod versions, but I would take a Caliburn U over a Cali 4 eight days out of seven.
