wait, what?

Can we see how hyper rounds and these smaller rounds work in those nerf grenades and claymore that everyone was talking about a while ago? Back then it seemed the smallest option was nerf rival rounds or dart tips and im curious if these make them more practical

I’m sure that China will clone them and have them available if there is a demand.

That shotgun Walcom was using is the Colonel Wasp Firefly. They tend to sell out very fast whenever they get restocked on monkeemods.

Amazing video. Thank you for pointing g out the environmental concerns for the smaller rounds. The fir science videos are always some of our favorites. Keep up the great work

I wish that we could get a rocket that is like a mini grenade that launches valken rounds that can be launched from a wrist mounted blaster, it would be really cool and take advantage of how practical valken rounds can be

Those smallest rounds would work amazingly in a Cornell wasp firefly, the shells for it would perfectly fit 3 at least of them.

I wanna personally thank you for your work and contributions to the modding community. If it wasn't for your wiring diagrams I wouldn't have figured out how to properly rewire all my blasters. Keep the hilarious content coming!

8:30 PURE WIZARDRY! I’ll gather the wood and prep the stake for the burning

valken rounds are everything hyper rounds should have been

One thing Hyper has going for it is the Pop with a Black Light. They don’t store the energy and glow themselves, but if the light is on them it’s a similar effect florescent paint. American Foam posted a short video on it a number of weeks ago, so I tried it one night. Also Capt. If you still have those worker Grenades, I’d love to know how many of those 50cal balls would fit. I was sorely disappointed with the number of hyper because they didn’t smush…. But the spread was really good. Most landed within 15ft, but a couple hit 40ft

Professor Xavier is at it again. Your exhaustive research efforts are appreciated, sir.

I am literally in tears of laughter with the loading of 3 rounds but shooting of 4 meaning it did indeed vacuum load one of the previous rounds and you can even hear it doing so I do believe which is part of what makes it so funny.

The heck! I nabbed a snes super scope in a bundle I just bought and I have a spare xbz. My goodness, what a great idea!

Having a mod idea centered around the valken rounds, and its not terrible i dont think. Adventure Force Sportsman. Create some sort of false bottom, add a funnel system, that plus gravity should only allow only 1 round chambering at a time. Hell, whole system could be 1 piece 3d printed, and reversible too.

I have never seen your modded super scope before. That thing looks *awesome* and I kinda want one

I feel like RSCBs would probably work, inline clips maybe but I could see double feeds happening

There is a spray paint they sell at craft stores called Design Master Colortool for painting silk flowers and such that is safe to use on different types of foam. If a different color is not available for the Valken balls (that is dangerously close to Vulcan balls and we don't want to anger Spock) then it might be possible to paint them a bright orange to see them better in grass. It is a fairly "dry" paint and doesn't make things stick together easily. Plus you'd have ammo in your colors. Also, it seems that we already have something capable of using Valkens in a magazine form: Harmonica "clipizines". Brass barrel a 10-shot harmonica mag and you have a 30+ round pump shotgun. Or take something like the Adventure Force Villainator and wreak havoc. 120 rounds AND a changeable drum? You might get away with just a strip of electrical tape in each barrel instead of brassing each one. I would also like to know how well the Valkens would do in a Nerf grenade or claymore.

iirc OutOfDarts made a PSA to not paint Rival rounds, because they end up ruining blaster internals (he has a video on it from a while ago). The same might also happen with valken rounds, so I wouldn't recommend it

@@gyrosoftalt I could definitely see regular spray paint damaging internals, but this paint is specifically made for painting different types of foam. Another alternative may be RIT dye, might be worth a try. Or maybe just send an email to Valken and see if they make alternative colors, I've never understood why they didn't make darts and other ammo fluorescent orange to begin with.

I like the addition of the lab coat.

Wonder if dunking the .50 balls in magnetic paint would ruin them or if the paint would be strong enough to pick them up with a magnet cart, if it worked you could just have a tow behind trailer picking them up for you, but I don't know that the paint is nearly that good.

valken rounds are now unavailable, everyone ran to buy em lol

I love the lab coat! Also i would love to see a proton pack for the .50 cal rnds in a unassuming flywheel blaster..... ideas they are flying!!! MUHAHAHAHAHA!!! Edit: i love the magazine would try it!!!

Captian What a fantastic look at these omnidirectional ammo. Love the format. Keep up the grear work.

The Nexus Pro is a fun way to shoot the Valken rounds. Just load up a short dart magazine and put a short dart on top.

The sound of the Spring Thunder pumping is painful.

A little unrelated to shotguns but I had an idea of trying to turn the ultra 2 into some kind of hopper fed blaster instead of cylinder, it would need one of the elite cages to fire valkens but it may fire hyper with the stock cage.

Thanks for comparison!

Brass barrelled Hammershot cylinder absolver would probably be a beast.

For the little rocket barrels, instead of taping them to your connectors, you should buy one of Out Of Darts's receivers that are meant to be put on a nexus pro and permanently attach it to a threaded connector, that way you can put any little rocket on any of your air blaster as it will be GODULAR! (Godly modular)

I can only imagine the Hyper rounds shotgunned indoors and bouncing all over..

Great video. Science!

the paintball ammo in the crooked cousin is kind of ridiculous. Use it with 2 per barrel in the triple, as your foregrip. Last ditch "not today" shot.

I see captain Xavier , I like , I click

Idea for the hammer shot a load out where you have different ammo in the 3d printed cylinders to confound the opponents so they don't know what you are going to shoot next

I like the idea of using the mags to shotgun those 50 caliber balls. Though I would recommend making it the length of a full sized mag, only because it would allow for independent mag chambers on the mag so that the balls don't necessarily have to be loaded in multiple of 2, 3, 4, or how ever many the mag can fit across

I was thinking, "what about a talon magazine," as Captain popped up at the end of the video. Mind reader! Wow, that has so many possibilities.

Great video! I think the one thing I would add is either text on screen saying which rounds you're currently testing, or timestamps in the description for each type of round

In the case of the valken rounds, I'd bet you could breach load them into a non takedown elite caliburn like Ullr. Also, I vaguely remember Dr. Flux experimenting with the valken ammo about a week before, running them through a commandfire.

I have the exact same Star Wars shirt, very nice

You can tell this man is serious about SCIENCE! He’s wearing a lab coat, which outside of writing down the results, means your not screwing around. Though in all honesty, I do like that someone can look at a video like this and if they wanted, try to replicate the result you got, or come up with something different.

@CaptainXavier

2 жыл бұрын

Well...the first shot kinda was that. My Super Scope has a long brass barrel built into it.

I sent the aluminum and blue rival barrels. (Both materials had single barrel and triple barrel models included.) They worked well for me. The single barrel and triple barrel would fire up to 9 each. The single barrel would group fairly tight with 8 and spread more rapidly with 9. The triple barrel would group tightly with any multiple of 3. I used them on a drain blaster. (I don't know how an XBZ compares.) (The blue ones come from the Dollar Tree as blowguns.) The following is copped/edited from an old email. The single barrels can hold 1 to 9 rounds at a time and spread differently based on round count and brand. The scar barrel holds the groups together for smaller round counts but spreads a full 9 out rapidly for some reason. The absolvers can hold up to 3 per barrel and seem to group a little differently based on brand. When working on some rival shotgun projects I found three barrel materials that work for my application, 1" PEX, Aluminum tube; and dollar store blowgun. All three have different, bore friction, weight, aesthetics, outside diameter, price points; and ease of use. (The blowgun is cheap, light and has low bore friction but can be hard to cut straight because it is squishy, for example.) I found that a single PEX barrel loaded with 9 rounds spreads much faster than 9 rounds in a 3 barreled PEX absolver. I also found that Adventure Force Tactical Strike rounds group much tighter than Nerf rival rounds. (A single barrel of Nerf tends to get 7 of 9 through a door at 15'.The 3 barreled absolver will get all 9 Nerf through a door at 25'.)

Personally not much of a fan of these increasingly smaller rounds, as a nerfer who doesn't have a large personal property and very few arenas nearby, I absolutely HAVE to go to parks and they just aren't possible to easily pick up.

I think for indoor games and for a last ditch buckshot blaster these smaller rounds have potential, but anything that's going to dump more plastic outside is a step in the wrong direction for the hobby.

Talon Mag for .50 balls? I'll add that to my list

ive seen the same criticism for hyper on most of the other nerftubers and I'm curious, do you think different colors (like safety orange) would be a better color, or do you think the ammo is just getting to small for grass based locations? Rival seemed to have the balance right for me and since the ammo was larger the rounds tended to sit on top of most grass, but hyper and others in size tend the slip right through
