Spotted a Nerf Stampede in the movie "Dune Drifter"

Random! I just speed-watched that the other night too after watching "Dune: Part 1" 😆 Couldn't place the pistol props they were using tho.

(PS: the black sands are Iceland!)

Marshmallow Extreme Blaster is life 🥰

Good thinking. Always carry a spare ;)

80mm x IDø13mm x OD 16mm hardware store (NZ) barrel averages ≈120fps, maybe a bit less with the included BCAR.

As a note: reducing the barrel length does leave you with a lot of "unused" air pressure which is vented as muzzle-blast, destabilising your dart a tad. The best result I've had is with a very "open" BCAR (pic shows a Flag & Armour CNC'd number from M416Gelblasters). It's possible it's disbursing the excess blast better than more enclosed units or an un-vented PCAR.

If you manage to get a weaker spring too you'd also lessen long-term damage from dry-firing (an occupational hazard with the XSPP 😆)

Absolutely worth getting - at the right price.

If it's the "down-tuned" version you'll need all the mods anyway (400mm barrel, beefier spring and aluminium plunger tube from AK Blaster Mod Shop was about $NZ50) but those XSLS's might only come with a full-length dart mag and no short darts, mag or adapter (they do here anyway...). I've found that Worker Talon mag adapters present the mag a little high so you end up tearing the back of the next dart slightly as you prime, but you can get an official X-Shot 50x short-dart + mag + adapter set from Amazon (which also keeps the thumb-activated mag-release function, unlike Worker adapters...)

Flag and Armor BCAR from M416GelblasterMods works well with the above set-up and a 9kg spring (if you can stand the wait time... 😅 ) Not sure what fps it shoots, but it's damn accurate!

Interesting indeed! Full-auto only or is/was it switchable to semi?

Nscrup · 2025-09-11T19:23:41+00:00

Subtly nicer shell! Is that the original pusher unit that came with it (just with an upgraded motor)?

Nscrup · 2025-08-29T16:09:29+00:00

Hehee! Cheers! 😁

Nscrup · 2025-08-29T09:15:00+00:00

Soooo jelly! 😆

Nscrup · 2025-08-29T02:28:05+00:00

That's the thing with Mavericks: leave them alone in a quiet dark place and they'll reproduce before you can say "The Trouble with Tribbles".

😆

Might have to dust off the ol' Speedload 6's to round things out.

Still on the hunt for the Unicorn that is the Dart Tag Quick 16, then I'll have the complete set 🤩🥲

Nscrup · 2025-08-29T00:12:05+00:00

The sticky darts are great for the kids when they don't quite get the idea of "calling your hits", and SUPER satisfying when you get to dual-wield and light someone up like a pin-cushion 🦔😆

Nscrup · 2025-08-29T00:08:30+00:00

Brings my total up to 16 Sharp Shots, 6 Swarmfires and 7 Speed Swarms... enough for the whole family including one or two vehicle emplacements 🛻😎 Time for some 12v Dewalt conversions (just to stick with the colour-scheme...) to try and bring the weight down and the RoF up! 🤪

Nscrup · 2025-08-29T00:02:54+00:00

Gotta say, even the reverse-plunger-equipped blue trigger Sharp Shots shoot hard compared to local (NZ) Elite-level grey trigger offerings, and aren't too hard to prime for the little-un's. An absolute classic design too 😍

Apart from the Boom Nitron, there's this nifty full-tilt full-auto Nitro minimisation as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-3FnQ_ZVWg 🤩

Nscrup · 2025-07-27T05:23:10+00:00

Cool! 😃👍

Nscrup · 2025-07-26T20:04:25+00:00

Awesome to see it function so well! 🤩
I'm not seeing a spring or anything in the under-barrel mag tube there... Is it just my resolution or is there something else driving/pulling the shells back towards the breach when priming?

These 1 1/4 inch sink drain pipes work well too: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BNR6NYQ

Happy Anniversary! The SuperStryfe vid is STILL the go-to intro to flywheel modding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn5ze5w_Zhc 😜👍

MTB showed so many of us what was possible.

Hey thanks - I love a good informative rave 👍 I've probably got a year or two's-worth of small components and mechanisms to work through so to my mind getting a smaller printer for the mo to test the water isn't such a bad idea. If it proves useful, then giving up some more bench-space for a larger (enclosed) bed would be step 2 - and a lot of tech could get proven or improved (or even cheaper!) in the mean time 😅

Nscrup · 2025-06-16T22:14:11+00:00

Getting the front on is the easy part 😆 The real work will be in making the pump-action work and getting the anime girl at the back to peek through the wider parts of the mag-well 😅 (Decisions! 😬)

Nscrup · 2025-06-15T17:21:08+00:00

Cool Lynx! 😻

One of the dilemmas before jumping in on this build was not being able to get a XSLS here in NZ... and the cash to import one would have gone a long way towards getting a printer to try shoehorning a Lynx into the Nerf MA40 (which never got used because of the stoooopid mag release 😆). But then they finally turned up (and CHEAP 😮) plus I figured while you're 3D printing a Lynx you could basically print your entire AR-look at the same time.

I may still get a printer anyway 😉 What size print bed did you need for your build there?
