- Mod guide for the Nerf Rival Kronos: The default rival springer secondary.
This is my new favorite Rival springer -- and for good reason! Even With the stock spring, its holsterablility has no equal in the HIR platform. I expect many more mods for this blaster coming soon.
Thanks to Captain Xavier for the initial exploration of this blaster!

Missed opportunity to say *”hi, I’m out of darts, but you might still have a few”*
instablaster
Just got my spring the other day, took me maybe 10 minutes to disassemble, upgrade, and reassemble thanks to this video. Word of warning, this makes it even more difficult to pull the slide back, if you don't have good grip strength you may want to avoid this mod, my gf can't even pull it back at all anymore(shouldn't be a problem for those of us who are just kids at heart and not body). But I must say, wow, the power increase is pretty incredible. Far better than I expected. I put some petroleum jelly on the o-ring to get a little better seal and the gun shoots so fast now that i couldn't possibly want anymore in fear i might break something or really hurt someone. The nerf balls fly across my house seemingly instantly(~50ft from one end to the other, going over 130fps, there is pretty much no time to react), could easily take out someones eye by accident, even from just a ricochet. Fucking sick, I love it.
@Not Pancake YT surprisingly no issues at all, still the exact same as it was. Still takes a ton of force to pull back. I expected some parts to break with just how much extra force this thing puts on the gun but I gotta give it to nerf, they really over engineered this one
You've convinced me
@@YarshNBDP I've got 2 springs coming in for mine and I wanted to ask you how/why the petroleum jelly improves it and how/how much you applied it. I want it to be mean like yours haha
I ordered a Kronos and a k25 from your website a couple months. To my surprise, this was a really easy and effective mod, even for an 11 year as myself. Now my Kronos averages a speed of 120-125 FPS. For kids under 14, I would recommend a K25 spring cause a k26 would be a little too hard to prime, and would therefore be impractical to use in a Nerf war. I highly recommend this mod from out of darts.
Thanks for your feedback! It's always good to see people grow into the hobby.
How do 11 yr olds have good English this is not real

Dude, that 3-D printer is working in the background!!!
Thank you! I was not modifying a gun, but my son took his sister's gun apart to get a non nerf ball out that had jammed it up. So I was brought the pieces (which were amazingly all present) and asked to get it back together. This video was exactly what I needed. Thank you.
I bought the Kronos spring from OOD and upgraded my broken Kronos. I watched this video and was able to mod my first blaster. I felt so accomplished! Thank you Luke for this video!
My parcel arrived yesterday morning with your pre-cut K26 and my Rayven parts, I'm looking forward to installing the spring, it seems like a pretty simple mod, so shouldn't take too long,.
Thanks Luke, you're an absolute diamond.
If you get a chance look up the physics behind the Tippmann A5 Flatline Barrel on paintballs. The Kronos works the same way. There is a notch on the top side of the barrel about an inch inside. It's easy to feel, just put your finger in the barrel and you can feel it. What this does is as the ball exits the chamber it creates an upwards spin on the ball. This is effective upto a certain range, and what it does is makes the ball fly straight up to a certain range. After that if the spin still exists and the momentum is still present (which is what happens with higher tension springs being in) it'll zing off to a random side based on which way the axis of that spin will rotate, left, right etc. This is based on the balance of each individual Nerf ball. Some will balance to rotate one way or another, but the same ball will also zing off in a random direction. So, if the balance of the ball is more towards one side one of the two 360 degree access, there is no way of controlling which way that ball will be facing when it reaches the notch to generate that backwards spin that will make it go straight. So, it is advantageous to have a higher speed, which will get the ball to go further and be accurate... but where with the normal spring the ball will just start curving down, with the higher tension of spring, the chance to arc will be reduced to an accurate degree. Well... that's the physics part of it anyways, how it actually reacts can vary.
they corkscrew off when the friction from the air is greater than the force of the spin that generates the lift effect. the molds for the standard darts are not symmetrical so eventually the ridges along the seam drag and change the angle of the rotation, causing a change in the lift vector and it changes direction. if you fire the kronos sideways you lose that extra range from the magnus effect but instead you can shoot around corners :p
Amp-Hibious good explanation but maybe if you hold it at an angle it wouldn’t have a violent curve that you get at shooting it sideways or straight
So what would happen if you sand off that little notch?
Daym that's alot
@@BLNKT. you can just take it out it's it's own plastic piece that is seperate from the barrel
Absolutely lovely tutorial and I've seen quite a few for the Kronos at this point. Exceptional lighting, clean presentation, and well spoken. Well done sir! Looking forward to seeing more.
Top notch mod guide! Well done! You should do mod guides for all sorts of blasters, I think that would be really helpful. (Not just Rival)
Awesome!
Thing is, he's out of darts.
Ordered the spring off of etsy after watching this video, thanks for the extremely quick shipping and thanks most of all for turning the kronos into a hand cannon lol. Priming is definitely more difficult, but that is to be expected from such a strong spring.
I just bought 2 k25 springs the easier one to prime cannot wait to try them out - Love the content OutofDarts keep up the great work !
So hard to pull back, shoots as hard and a paint ball gun just foam balls. Thank you so much man.
Typo I meant to say as hard as a paintball gun.
I ordered your spring before I even had my Kronos 😂…the spring arrives on Tuesday and I can’t wait to drop it in
I ordered two of your easy prime springs for the Kronos. I'm planning to disassemble and upgrade both of my Kronos', as well as paint them. I couldn't think of a better way to do a minor upgrade than replacing the springs they've had since I bought them both. One definitely shoots harder than the other, this should equalize them. Then, the paint should make them truly amazing.
just received my k26 in the mail. thank you so much. i cant wait to install it in my blasters
1:50 y'know, that's the first time I've seen a nerf video mention eye protection, which is funny because just today I got whacked in the eye by a flying piece of plastic I had just nipped off a sledgefire. Gotta love the irony.
We try to remember mentioning eye-pro during every mod that requires them (almost every mod). Depending on the FPS cap, you *could* get away without eye protection at games, but it doesn't mean that you *should.*
@Outof Darts
I’m about to mod/paint one of these and this quick video has helped me plan out my build so much! I paused and screenshot a ton of images from this to use as reference. I couldn’t be more appreciative. Thanks!
I dropped you and your Etsy store a mention in the "show more" section in my review of the Kronos, for the K26 upgrade spring you sell.
It's a great blaster and I look forward to modding mine at some point when I get the K26 for it.
You do a great service in cutting the spring to the right length and removing all the sharp ends for the Kronos, saving us who don't have the special tools to do it for ourselves.
Thanks Luke for the great videos, store and service you offer, you have a great selection, I'm spoiled for choice, I may have to get some Hammershot cylinders from you as well!
Any time, I love your Etsy store, need the money to make a pretty big order though!
When I got my Kronos I thought is was you know just gonna shoot a few feet like yknow standard elite range. Oh how wrong I was. Why even mod it is fires as far as the regular rival blasters
I have an elite pistol that goes that goes from one end of the house to the other (at least 60ft). the Kronos should go at least as far as it, right?
My name's not important much farther
My name's not important, I mode mine with a 12 kg spring, and it shoots 120 easy with a angle, flat about 90.
I must’ve been tired while typing this out
Thank you! Just got my upgraded spring today and swapped it out, it’s a lot more powerful now!
wouldn't let me review the 3.7 k25 spring on the etsy shop so i will here. fast shipping, easy install, works great. Girlfriend won't be too happy to get hit by this!
Straight to the point, concise, informative and simple. Love this video man. You just earned yourself a subscriber :)
I bought a spring from u and completed my first mod using this video. Thanks!
I’d really like to see your take on MrHeathpants’ return spring mod to the Kronos. If you could make that modification readily available, that would be terrific! The return spring mod is something that Kronos needs!
upvote this
The biggest problem with a return spring mod on the kronos is that it would make it harder to reload, it has to be primed back to give access to the internal mag
So for those talking about Heath's mod making it hard to reload, he did add a steel reinforced mechanism to hold the slide forward while reloading.
I plan on doing one myself in the following fashion.
Epoxy upright "nipples" on both the inside of the front plate and the mag chamber the same length as whatever decompressed tension springs you're using. Add said springs to both sides.
Then in the removed safety lock hole, add a piston of some sort attached to a steel/reinforced bar that's long enough to block the slide while primed.
Then reload, push that bar down, slide lurches forward, ready to go.
Perreault Gamez hardware store
Outof Darts im late, but what about if you add a slide lock like on a real steel 1911? So you pull back the slide and push up the lever with your thumb and it keeps the slide back.
Hey Out Of Darts i just bought the K26 and K25 springs from your store to see which one I could handle but anyways thank you for the awesome tutorial
I just ordered the K25, T handle, and ghost door. I’m excited.
Definitely found my first nerf mod
Welp, I modded it, it was impossible to prime, opened it up to try to put the original spring back in, and lost the trigger spring..
Nevermind i found it
But does it now prime?
Glad ya found it but darn it sucks when ya lose something that nobod6 sells
unlucky
Yes!! Definitely like seeing mod-guides from you. Your setup is just really nice and I love the shout outs to Captain X and Nerf Curator
Thank you for making a clear and informative walk through for this mod. Can't wait to crack open my two! :)
Dude great video, just modded mine today w a spring purchased at ace, that sucker crumples soda cans now. Very easy to do thanks to your instruction!
UGGGGHHHH I've been waiting for the Kronos for so longgggg
I wish, I live in Australia gotta wait for someone to import them and put them on ebay lol. I have been buying Headshot ammo from your store :)
JUST ORDERED ONE!! THANK YOU!!!!

SAVAGE the Pirate amazon
I've bought your k26 mod kit and just installed it on my Kronos, amazing video and Jesus Christ it has turned the Kronos into the most powerful Nerf gun I've ever had, incredible kit and I'm very grateful thank you.
Mr. Out of darts, it's funny you just posted this video I just got this blaster and ordered the K26 from you today.
Amazing mod guide. Good lighting and easy to see What you are doing to the blaster
bought a spring off your shop because of this video. about to try the mod!
I just finished the first of the Kronos with the easy prime springs (K25?) I ordered from you and just ...WoW! Usually just my Prometheus makes me laugh when I fire it. First time I ever modded any blaster and I'm giggling my ass off at the power and accuracy of this Kronos! It's a damn zamby killa! Gotta go upgrade the other Kronos and then get that K26 up in my Hades.
Thanks so much for this great mod guide!
an important note: The piece you refer to as an optional safety is not part of the safety switch on the side. Rather, it's the lock that prevents pulling the trigger while the blaster is half-primed. I recommend leaving this in so you don't accidentally pull the trigger and have the breech slam close on your fingers while loading.
The old upside down plunger tube 🤪 Thanks I was stumped.
While she's wide open trim that trigger spring post a 1/8th inch and polish/shape the release ramp it really crisps up the trigger pull
I upgraded one with a new spring and it has insane power i used a mower spring from the hardware store and it worked amazing
Interesting. I used a section of k25 the same length as the original spring and get an average of 140 fps now. It was incredibly annoying to precompress but once it went back together it functioned flawlessly.
I can second this. I saw very similar performance to the k26 I had previously installed. I found the k25 a bit smoother on the prime as well. K25 also gives a lot more room for fine tuning by the user due to the extra length. It's easy to find a balance between performance and prime difficulty just by removing a bit at a time.
I haven't had any issues with accuracy. the only difference i've noticed is at a higher fps, the rival balls sort of "jump" upwards at the end of their range before dropping down.
Thanks for the k25 tip. I was having trouble priming with k26, but no trouble with k25. It's just that little bit lighter to compress but still a great improvement. I am getting 110fps average with k25, and 80fps at best with the stock spring.
dkdavid721 decompressing springs is so anoyinng it hurt my fingers and everything, like the long shot to take of the plunder head omg
I used this video to fix a jam and i love it 😍
Thanks for this simple and easy to understand tutorial. Mine ball pusher sometimes jams and I can't wait to crack mine open and see if I can fix it now
Thank you for this video, I'll be buying the part soon and I'll definitely buy from your shop!!
Well congratulations for your 100th video just noticied after watching for the third time... Wish you many more subs ...Happy to be here from the 18th video
Why the hell am I watching this?
Shhh. Just watch.
So, I'm not the only one thinking this. lol
Haha I agree 🤣
because 69
I don't even have a Kronos, or even mod a nerf blaster
My dad bought my brother an already modded version of the Kronos and my brother actually added on the pullback primer for the gun which makes more powerful even more than yours.
With the K26 in there it's a monster to prime, most of the balls went sailing over the 6' high fence in my 50' long garden. the hop-up makes them sail right over the fence with level shots. I'll have to print a T-Priming handle or another kind of priming grip as it just slips in my hand when priming sometimes because of the lack of grippy surfaces on the Kronos.
Didn’t realize how niche this was
Fantastic composition. Very artfully done.
Great video, thx man.
I already ordered a cut spring from you, and yeah, it now stings a little when you get hit. Thank you for giving me the main internal part to transform it into the Rival Desna. Now it just needs cosmetic work.
I also re-inserted the plunger rod upside-down initially, so yeah...
definitely would love to see the Hera & Mosfet tutorials keep up the good work brother! ;)
Ahhh I love your quality my man. I hope to have my set up like this asap
Thank you for this!
Just ordered 2 of these from your store!
Do you have 3d printed parts for the rival XVIII-500.
That is the Kronos the one in this video
Quick loader, quick loader holder, ghost door t spring
I'm sure that higher tension springs can also wear the mechanisms of the gun faster. I think if you want faster shots that are accurate, you're going to need a heavier projectile.
Congrats on 100 videos!
just ordered one too ...cant wait to mod it !!! thx
your k25 works like a dream keep up the good work
Im in Switzerland and kind of want to buy springs from your website but I dont know how much shipping will be
If anyone could tell me that would be awesome
92 usd shipping outside of us
@@moneebkhan3744 holy
Muchas gracias por tu video, desde nuevo no pudo utilizarla y como fue regalo no podía aplicar la garantía, pero gracias ti ya la reparé, muchas gracias por todo!!
Thank you for this video! i sub and picked the bell. keep up the good videos!
Just got my K26 in today, worked got a nice performance buff...but was waaaaay too hard for me to prime more than halfway 😅
thehollowlingwin just did the mod. I'm a grown man go to gym a few times/week and this thing is hard to prime. Man this thing shoots hard though!
newuser312 I feel better about myself, I thought my months of not going to the gym finally got to me. Right now I just ordered the new K25 spring, to see how much easier it's really going to be! 😅
Out of darts?
You mean OUT OF BALLS!!!
I really like the look of this blaster. Could you fit the hirmini's internals into this guy? Dremel a hole in the back so it can take the mags and boom! Flywheel awesomeness!
now I can cosplay with my deadpool guns rendering them incapable of firing.
I have two, I’m thinking of nodding them and duel wielding them by drilling out a hole in the back “rails” and tying the priming bar to a vest
when modding mine i like to catch the plunger in the catch mech to put it back in... probobly too hard to do with this spring lol
i thaught you would do this. LOVE UR CHANNNEL!!
Wow very video return spring, thank you for sharing
I ordered springs from you OutofDarts thank you for this mod video. It is very easy to follow. Can you please get your hands on a Starwars Captain Cassian deluxe blaster and do a MOSFET mod video in the future :D Thank for your videos and passion for Nerf..!
Im 15. This nerf gun is accurate for nerf. Very inpressed
Your screwdriver is a XShot dart in disguise.
Very crisp mod guide! I hadnt even considered curving the spring in that manner before cutting before.
Seen some people being able to double load the Kronos for a shotgun 2 ball effect by fidgeting at the back of the slide possibility of making it more intuitive for a "Double whammy"?
Would you consider doing an exploded view of all the internals?
That orange circle infront of the trigger how essential is it for the internals, removable?
I guess you could say you *Krono* 'ed the *Kronos*
Ba dum tsh
Ora nge it would be chrono’d
C O N F U S I O N
Thanks for the help
Yay love it got your spring and can’t wait to mod it. I have a question, are the front internals (barrel, internal mag) in one piece when it comes out of the frame?
Ya I don’t have anything to do during quarantine so I bought a crap ton of ur products
Hey Out of Darts, can I possibly commision a dual Kronos or Artemax for my nerf war loadout?
Thanks! It was super easy!
O2D I got my new spring and holy smokes. Scary! Any chance that spring is going to wear out the OEM parts?
Great guide thanks
Wait only 70fps for the stock spring? It’s supposed to be 90fps
He said 70 feet range not f/s
@@nglfrlollmaotbh oh lmao
It would be cool to have another vid of just firing it off at targets of different distances
Finally a mod guide!!!
Thanks so much!!!
You're welcome!
Great vid, I'll be hitting you up for those custom flat end springs when they are available!
is there a way to make the safety easier to release with the thumb of your shooting hand? I have to use my other hand because it is so damn hard to push up!
I would buy spring, but shipping rates to UK cost three times more than the spring
They should have a UK equivalent at a hardware store
This was really helpful!
Thanks, I followed your tutorial and it Worked very well, I'm in Mexico so I ordered the spring from amazon.
I want to mod my takedown to, do you know if the spring measure is the same as the Kronos?
Kind Regards.
Awesome vid! However when I went to order two, the cost of shipping was more than the springs. Any way shipping can be discounted? Im in Australia. Thanks
I think blastertech sells a Kronos k26
I have a two piece slide in my gun and I can’t figure out how to put it back in.
Go online and get a internal photo
MNemJef,mr_bruhman on reddit you don’t have to respond he posted this a year ago
Will you be making pre-cut springs for other rival blasters? I'm looking for a decent spring for my Artemis.
Great!
what spring length do you think will be good for the , Prometheus i think, the upgraded Artemis
Hey Out of Darts, You said hirmini is coming out this week. You scared me so much
Help! My kronos's tiny spring came right out when I shot it! I am trying to figure out to fix it... can you help me?
Bee YT mod at ur own risk
@@-Soapy- I fixed it! I had to take it apart and put the piece back in. It works just fine now.
Bee YT if I dry fire any blaster stock or modded what will happen, I’m asking because people say don’t dry fire but idk why I shouldn’t dry fire?
@@-Soapy- , I think that when the drum is slid in, it activates a little trap door where the air pressure can come through. lets say if you have a alphahawk (or any blaster where you need to push the button to slide out the rotating drum), it activates the trap door when it is slid in, so the air pressure has a place to escape. When you fire it and the trap door isn't activated, the air pressure has nowhere to escape, which therefore can harm the blaster. I know practically nothing about modded blasters, but I am kind of sure this is why it is bad for the blaster.
@@-Soapy- but if you want to know why to not dry fire a blaster that doesn't have a rotating drum and the trap door and everything, I am really not sure. Maybe it is better for it to have something in the chamber?
