The “banning” of gel and air-soft in China has lead a lot of the manufacturers to turn to foam. I don’t have the complete story but I believe this “blaster” was a retrofitted design originally intended for a completely different ammunition type. A video on other products like this would be great, Chinese Taobao is absolutely filled with weird and wonderful products, I don’t know how many of them make it to Amazon, Wish etc.
you know what i really love about the conclusion, his tone on what he says before his camera switch from himself to the blaster, you can see on his face he is holding that typical tone when he hates a blaster
interesting info guys : this product was first designed as a gel blaster , but shortly after it hit the market , CHN government banned all gel blasters （gel blasters are somewhat in a grey area right now） . So the manufacturer had to come up with an idea to keep selling their product , that idea was to transform it into a foam blaster basically by making a new shell type for foam darts （the shells used for shooting gel actually allow it to shoot multiple rounds at one time）, and it was just an entry level gel blaster to begin with , so the performance can only get worse because now you shoot foam on the same platform . Now on China's market , there're even blasters based on Winchester rifles that shoot foam when you frontload them but shoot gel when loading in shells , and the foam shooting function is just a scam they use so the products can be sold legally .
for the gels conversion to work, the blaster also need to be equipped with an inner barrel. so yes, they even SELL inner barrel kit, approximately 8mm in diameter (gels size ard 7.5-8mm) to make for total conversion to gel blaster
This could have actually been something really cool, with proper half-dart shells and good performance like the Firefly. Thanks for the video Frank, and I agree that a warning about cheap, poor quality blasters would be good! 🧡💜💚

Thanks for the awesome work, Coop.
I think the quality control for this blaster varies from blaster to blaster. Mine doesn't have that screw sticking out inside the barrel. It also never jam like coop's. I don't recommend this blaster for performance nerfer though as it only hits about 50-60fps.

I bought this blaster, it's actually massively fun to shoot! I paid about 60 bucks for it, and it does not have the same issues as the blaster in the video. Jams happen from time to time, but they're easy to clear once you learn how the blaster works. The biggest issue is that it seems to be quite difficult to find extra shells for it. Mine came in a different box, so might be that the one in the video is a knockoff.. Mine also only came with 6 shells, no red dot sight or shell holder, but the design is pretty much identical. As for loading capacity, mine holds 5 shells + 1 in chamber, so 6 total. And there are no screws poking into the barrel. Looking closely at his blaster, it doesn't have the UDL logo, so I suspect it's a knockoff shown in this video, a hugely overpriced one at that. Careful what you buy of Amazon, I guess...
There is a different version of this blaster that I own that holds 5+1 shells, doesn’t have the screws poking out of the barrel, and seems to function a little better. It comes with less shells, no shell holder, and no red dot. Honestly though I just have it because it looks cool.
@@danielhughesmusic Its probably still going to be relatively low because this is from china and I believe they def have a limit and most of this are pretty low FPS-wise
I got the updated version of this one in the mail a couple of days ago, and wow, I haven't had any of coop's problems, this thing is fun as hell to use. ALSO, with the dart fit problem, it's completely the manufacturer's fault. The darts suuuuck. I recommend half-lengths HIGHLY.
More trashy reviews would actually be very interesting! Mainly to warn us away from the trash, you know the whole 'I go through the struggle so you don't' with the reviews, but also in case you find a diamond in the rough. Who knows! It's very unlikely but seeing more than Dart Zone and Nerf would be awesome!
I have this exact gun, and I would like to rebuttal a few points: I am able to hold 5 shells in the tube, Idk why you said it only holds 3. Jamming isn't ever a problem for me, as even if a shell does get stuck it is very easy for me to get it unjammed by just rechambering and it fixes the problem I have never had a problem with the darts not coming out, they always worked as intended. Maybe the gun you have is a knock off of the gun i have, because I compared your link and my link to the gun, and mine has a different manufacturer. Also, I noticed a few differences between your gun and mine, like how the tube spring handle is black, unlike mine which is red.
Exactly, me too. I have this blaster as well and doesn't have any issue as the one coop has. Mine also has a red spring cap and doesn't have the screw sticking out in the barrel. I think coop has a different blaster compared to the one we have.
I don’t think your being negative at all your just telling us the truth! And quite honestly that’s what matters , an honest review that keeps the viewers safe from wasting our hard earned money! Thanks
This is one of the worst versions of the blaster I've come across, and way too overpriced as well. There's a 6 shell capacity version (one in the pipe and 5 in the mag) that doesn't have the kind of problems you're having. Most pre-buit/pre-assembled (for the most part) blasters coming out of China are *INTENTIONALLY* done with low to very low FPS - allegedly to comply with Chinese "toy" laws. Some sellers that sell variants of that blaster also sell spring upgrades for them separately to get around "compliance laws". Normally, they "allegedly" can't sell a hard hitting blaster out of the box *UNLESS* it's a kit that you have to build yourself. Nerf "rifle" replicas like that still comes partly pre-assembled (especially the main body), so naturally, the fps will suck on purpose. This isn't a dig against Coop or anybody, I actually agree with him about that thing being garbage. I'm just trying to explain why the fps sucks and also why the QC/QA of that thing is horrible.
@@ITSJBGaming I forgot the site where I originally saw it as I first heard about this 3rd party blaster a few months ago. Will have to hunt it down as they're sold in a lot of places under different names/brands - Amazon being one of them. You can either follow Coop's link in the description of this video, or venture to other sites. Or you can just search UDL XM1014 Shell Ejecting Nerf Blaster. That's the actual name of the "original KO" as the one Coop bought was a knock-off of a knock-off. Coop essentially got scammed with a KO knock-off!! Yes, that's a thing - there really ARE knock-offs of knock-offs.
@@wbybhx9939 as far as I can recall, I believe the real UDL has at least more capacity than the one Coop bought. I remember one guy shoving at least 4 or 5 shells into it (the 5th being in the pipe, or was that 6th, I can't remember).
I have one of these. Yes the range sucks. They do not shoot well at all, however mine does hold 5 shells in the internal tube mag, as well as 1 in the chamber so you can load 6 in it. Mine feeds fairly reliably also. Not perfect, does jam sometimes but it’s not that often. Also, yes the safety is backwards to my real steel shotgun which I only noticed when he mentioned it since I don’t use the safety on either. My safety is not having a round in the chamber.
So I didn't buy this one, but I bought the UDL m1887. My opinion is basically the same as in this video. However, it doesn't gum up like you describe this one plus there is a fairly easy spring swap and I've designed a much better shell for it. Watching this vid has made me want to review mine in a video. Edit: Big question, was yours primed on arrival? Mine was primed on arrival.
Listen my friend. As someone who has debated buying on of those Chinese 1887s. MAKE THE VIDEO. lol. I will subscribe right now and out notifs on if you post vids on these.
@@timliefferink the shells can't load multiple ball rounds in them but will work with half darts. Loading also takes some getting used to, but other that that, it's alright.
@@timliefferink loads shells in pretty smooth, once you get used to the funky loading gate. Occasionally, like about one in 20 primes, a shell will fail to lift from the elevator into the chamber, but it's nothing catastrophic. (This means the shell did load from the mag tube into the elevator, but failed to clear enough to chamber, you'll feel it seize up when it happens.) You can also have a shell shoot back from the tube if you fail to properly insert the shell, forcing you to finagle the shell back into the tube. Overall, I would say it's got some quirks, but nothing too demanding, it is annoying when it happens, but I haven't noticed any significant malfunctions from the blaster itself, which may be due more in part thanks to John Moses Browning.
Hey coop! I would like to say that the brand of this blaster is actually a Chinese brand. The one that I got holds five shells but can hold one more if you prime the blaster and load the other shell.
Weird, mine holds 6 shells without issue. And the rotating stock is how you unlock the real Benelli M4 stock to extend it. I guess this is another example of chinese manufacturers including half assed features in their copied products without fully understanding their purpose. Been an issue since they were copying Mauser and FN pistols in the 30s.
Theres multiple of this thing but i dont think they are all the same brand i saw a sawn off m870 and a full stock m870 and extremely overpriced (in my country) kar98k and mosin
It shoots jolt levels of power, mine came primed, which made it weaker and it basically has all the same flaws minus gumming up as badly or as often and it doesn't have any weird barrel screws. So slightly better, but it has potential with better shells and a stronger spring/better air seal. I guess the same could be said of all of these knock off's though. Edit: It also holds 5+1, so better ammo capacity.
The lever action I got was awesome. Have to be really careful what you purchase, some models are shell eject only and do not fire darts. With my purple lever action, I can one hand prime it if I use my shoulder as a brace. When primed, can spin-cock it just like the terminator. The blue one I got does not fire darts, which kinda stinks but oh well.
It's a super cool and pretty looking replica of a Benelli M4, which I think is the main purpose of this product. Shell ejection is just for cool anyways. We are already sacrificing performance, so I'm not too bothered by it. It seems like they at least used good materials and mostly did a good job copying the original firearm, so I wouldn't call it overall trash, just trash performance.
I hope that adventure force or out of darts makes something based off this which actually works well. This thing makes the warden look like a nexus pro
Hey Coop, when mentioning average stats such as how many times an issue occurred (for example in this vid you said 5 times during your testing) can u give an average out of how many attempts such as saying it jammed 4 to 5 times out of 1000 shots. When u say something as vague as it just jammed 5 times it dosent properly articulate how many times the issue presents itself. Just a bit of constructive criticism, love your vids and keep up the great work dudebro
In short, just get a Spring Thunder. It runs consistently, does different shell types, and can actually do shotgun-style scattershot, and actually doesn't cost all *that* much more.
Pro tip: if you don't want to watch the blaster fire -- or more accurately, not fire -- you can always look at Coop's dog. You have a very cute dog btw :)
One thing that made me excited for this(though I think it’s illegal) is that it’s clearly modeled after John Wick’s Benelli M4 because it even has the Taran Tactical logo as seen in the movie! But the price and poor quality are real bummers. Thanks for the heads up!
@@returnedplague Yeah! I actually designed a replica of the same logo myself in tinker car and applied it to a talon baseplate so I can print my own taran tactical base plates for talon mags!!
I have this and the quality is actually pretty good. The company that made this is UDL, a chinese company that used to make gel blaster. The one coop has is different and most likely a fake UDL. The good one has a red coloured tube magazine cap and a red bottom on the grip, Coop's was black. The real one holds 5 in the tube and 1 in the chamber. Coop's holds only 4. The real one coms with only 6 shells, coop's comes with 10. The real one doesn't have the screw portruding in the barrel. However, even the real one doesn't shoot fast, only around 60fps.
I live in Hong Kong and I bought this blaster for roughly 30USD (including shipping), mine hold 5 + 1 shells and definitely shoots above 50 fps, jams happened sometime but not to a point where it annoys me. The colour of my shotgun is slightly different from Coops and there isn’t anything blocking the barrel. Is it possible that this is the knock off version?
Yeah, I wonder if he got a knockoff of the knockoff. The box wasn't onscreen for long, but mine is the UDL brand and looks identical, but definitely holds FIVE shells, not just three. And no screws blocking the barrel either.
@@1qaz2wsx3edc4rfv4 Yep, my tube endcap and pistol-grip underpiece are both tomato-red, not black. I just figured "meh, manufacturing variances", BUT, @Coop772's model is such a stinker, that it might be an important identifying trait between "UDL" and "knockoff-knockoff" versions...
@@1qaz2wsx3edc4rfv4 Agree, other people have reviewed it and there is no way it's that terrible. Probably a knock off of UDL. Then do you think it's worth purchasing?
So this is obviously based aesthetically on the Bonelli M4. This is the same shotgun that is used here in the US Marine Corps. The stock was designed the way it is to easily lock up very close to the grip so that it does not interfere with the flak(plate carrier). It makes it much easier to wield in close quarters. Which as a breaching tool is what it will usually be used in.
@@Davenzoid It rotates when you go to adjust the length of pull, it's not just a straight pull like an M4 carbine stock. However you have to push a button to unlock it so it can rotate, it doesn't just do it whenever.
As a gun nerd, this thing claiming it’s an M1014 angers me, because that’s literally a semi auto combat shotgun, not a pump action shit-gun. Also Italy is jacked, and this thing disrespecting that area bugs me, even as a Canadian.
The ability to turn the Gun to Side without moving the Stock has also some real Shotguns (like tactical Verions from Benelli) and the use of it is really to make sure your chamber is empty after the last shot without breaking your hold (sorry for my maybe not so good english but I hope you understood what I meant)
It actually can hold a total of 6 shells, 5 + 1 in the chamber but i recommend only 4 + 1 in the chamber since it will push the spring a bit too hard :)
One thing to consider about this blaster is that the one sold on Amazon that coop has is either an outdated version from the Chinese company or a knockoff version as the other reviews on RUclips and a few other sources say that this blaster isn’t that bad. Further evidence is that this blaster only has a capacity of 3 but other reviews show a blaster with a capacity of 5
I think you might have a lemon or inferior version Gordon soo made review on same blaster (with orange trigger) That worked much more consistently and shoot harder
Yeah, I have one too and it's a real looker but not much of a performer. But still, it holds 5 in the tube and has no screws blocking the barrel, so I think maybe Coop got screwed by a "knockoff knockoff" that isn't even the gray-market UDL "brand".
Not really, coop bought a different version or a fake udl xm1014. I have one and it never jams or had issues like portruding screw. Get the one made by udl and not the one coop bought. The real one should hold 5+1 shells and not 4 like coops. They also only give 6 shells and not 10 like coops. The one that coop has is weird or fake.
Can you chamber a round and then load an extra shell into the mag tube? I wonder if this would at least be useful as a teaching tool for operating a real shotgun. EDIT: Yikes, I just heard the price tag. Seems better to just run snap caps in an actual shotgun for teaching/practicing. As always, great consumer advice, Coop. Thanks!
Thank you for doing this actually. I don’t trust these Chinese products at all. They look good but they have poor performances. Also, if you’re not free to choose you’re not free at all. Wise words, Coop.
It looks really cool tho. More as a prop weapon. Maybe they’ll refine it and fix its issues but maybe other custom or off brand companies can make something similar in function and look that performs well. At least this is still better than the Warden
There is, but strangely it look exactly the same but have different quality, i got mine pretty cheap like 41usd, Then again Chinese product are very inconsistent
Yes, it doesn't shoot far, only about 60fps. However, after i watched coop's review, it seems there are different versions of this blaster. I have one and it's different with coop's model. Mine holds 6 shells and doesn't have screw sticking out in the barrel. Mine fires consistently and never jams. The colour of the end cap on the magazine spring is also different with mine. I think the one coop has is a different version to mine.
holy shit its as been at least 5 years since i tuned in, coop my guy i love you but let me introduce to my friends the gym. (still love you are awesome)
My man here just saved me some money. I saw this on Amazon and impulsively put it in my cart. I did a quick Google search of the product, found this video, and emptied my cart.
There's a different version of this blaster. You'll want the one made by udl. It doesn't have the screw sticking in the barrel. It also hold 5+1 unlike the one coop has. The cap at the end of the magazine tube and the bottom of the grip is also red not black like coops. The udl version doesn't jam but it doesn't shoot hard maybe around 60fps. Don't get the fake one coop has, get the udl version instead.

Did you buy from the Amazon link in description?
I’m sorry but that tactically half-folding stock is absolutely hilarious
Ans super tacticool
i just came back after like 5 years, frank looks so different
For what it's worth, the weird twisting function of the stock is a carry-over from the actual Benelli M4 stock.,
Coop is looking a lot slimmer! Whatever you are doing, keep it up!
More trashy reviews would actually be very interesting! Mainly to warn us away from the trash, you know the whole 'I go through the struggle so you don't' with the reviews, but also in case you find a diamond in the rough. Who knows! It's very unlikely but seeing more than Dart Zone and Nerf would be awesome!
Maybe a vid talking about companies that only make barely functional props, like buzzbee
I have this exact gun, and I would like to rebuttal a few points:
I am able to hold 5 shells in the tube, Idk why you said it only holds 3.
Jamming isn't ever a problem for me, as even if a shell does get stuck it is very easy for me to get it unjammed by just rechambering and it fixes the problem
I have never had a problem with the darts not coming out, they always worked as intended.
Maybe the gun you have is a knock off of the gun i have, because I compared your link and my link to the gun, and mine has a different manufacturer.
Also, I noticed a few differences between your gun and mine, like how the tube spring handle is black, unlike mine which is red.
Exactly, me too. I have this blaster as well and doesn't have any issue as the one coop has. Mine also has a red spring cap and doesn't have the screw sticking out in the barrel. I think coop has a different blaster compared to the one we have.
I believe that the one he has is a copy of another companies blaster
Yeah I think coop got a knockoff. Gordon Soo reviewed this differently
Coop hates this thing so much that he put his dog there when he was firing it, so that part of the video isn't unwatchable. Good vid btw :-)
wdym it’s not blocking the camera
I don’t think your being negative at all your just telling us the truth! And quite honestly that’s what matters , an honest review that keeps the viewers safe from wasting our hard earned money! Thanks
This is one of the worst versions of the blaster I've come across, and way too overpriced as well. There's a 6 shell capacity version (one in the pipe and 5 in the mag) that doesn't have the kind of problems you're having. Most pre-buit/pre-assembled (for the most part) blasters coming out of China are *INTENTIONALLY* done with low to very low FPS - allegedly to comply with Chinese "toy" laws. Some sellers that sell variants of that blaster also sell spring upgrades for them separately to get around "compliance laws". Normally, they "allegedly" can't sell a hard hitting blaster out of the box *UNLESS* it's a kit that you have to build yourself. Nerf "rifle" replicas like that still comes partly pre-assembled (especially the main body), so naturally, the fps will suck on purpose.
This isn't a dig against Coop or anybody, I actually agree with him about that thing being garbage. I'm just trying to explain why the fps sucks and also why the QC/QA of that thing is horrible.
Hello, I read your comment and I really like the concept so if the blaster you knew about is somewhat good enough could you put the link in here
@@ITSJBGaming I forgot the site where I originally saw it as I first heard about this 3rd party blaster a few months ago. Will have to hunt it down as they're sold in a lot of places under different names/brands - Amazon being one of them. You can either follow Coop's link in the description of this video, or venture to other sites. Or you can just search UDL XM1014 Shell Ejecting Nerf Blaster. That's the actual name of the "original KO" as the one Coop bought was a knock-off of a knock-off. Coop essentially got scammed with a KO knock-off!! Yes, that's a thing - there really ARE knock-offs of knock-offs.
Oh that explains why this has different features as the real UDL isn't this bad
@@obsidiansands ok thanks
@@wbybhx9939 as far as I can recall, I believe the real UDL has at least more capacity than the one Coop bought. I remember one guy shoving at least 4 or 5 shells into it (the 5th being in the pipe, or was that 6th, I can't remember).
1:51 "each dart holds one shell" that made me instantly get a scary image in my had of this thing straight yeeting a plastic tube at me
Remember guys, each dart holds one shell.

@@Coop772 Coop, Your tactical dog looks awesome!
@@Elitlent NERF DOG!
*any darts the dog eats is your fault not ours
I have one of these. Yes the range sucks. They do not shoot well at all, however mine does hold 5 shells in the internal tube mag, as well as 1 in the chamber so you can load 6 in it. Mine feeds fairly reliably also. Not perfect, does jam sometimes but it’s not that often. Also, yes the safety is backwards to my real steel shotgun which I only noticed when he mentioned it since I don’t use the safety on either. My safety is not having a round in the chamber.
1:10 as a gun collector and enthusiast , i give you respect+
I love how in the firing demo, coop's dog is just watching coop or the hallway where he's shooting at.
So I didn't buy this one, but I bought the UDL m1887. My opinion is basically the same as in this video. However, it doesn't gum up like you describe this one plus there is a fairly easy spring swap and I've designed a much better shell for it. Watching this vid has made me want to review mine in a video.
Edit: Big question, was yours primed on arrival? Mine was primed on arrival.
Listen my friend. As someone who has debated buying on of those Chinese 1887s. MAKE THE VIDEO. lol. I will subscribe right now and out notifs on if you post vids on these.
I ordered the m1887 but it hasnt arrived yet, other then bad performance, are there any issuess or other things worth mentioning with it?
@@timliefferink the shells can't load multiple ball rounds in them but will work with half darts. Loading also takes some getting used to, but other that that, it's alright.
@@EmonWBKstudios how smooth is loading in Shells, and how often does it jam
@@timliefferink loads shells in pretty smooth, once you get used to the funky loading gate. Occasionally, like about one in 20 primes, a shell will fail to lift from the elevator into the chamber, but it's nothing catastrophic. (This means the shell did load from the mag tube into the elevator, but failed to clear enough to chamber, you'll feel it seize up when it happens.) You can also have a shell shoot back from the tube if you fail to properly insert the shell, forcing you to finagle the shell back into the tube. Overall, I would say it's got some quirks, but nothing too demanding, it is annoying when it happens, but I haven't noticed any significant malfunctions from the blaster itself, which may be due more in part thanks to John Moses Browning.
Can we just admire how doggo was watching the shells drop like "oo that's kinda cool!"
It’s similar to the deploy (not in class or anything)
They are cool to mess a bit around with but when it gets to shooting…
The deploy is good if you dont get one thats decrepit and im offended you would compare it to such trash like this
@@Bartho_85 man why talk like a twitter user
How do you even get offended about a blaster dude?!
@@Revengilate r/woosh
They’re both mag fed, pump action and a free tag. Very similar.
The dog's reaction during the firing demonstration told me all I needed to know about this blaster.
Hey coop! I would like to say that the brand of this blaster is actually a Chinese brand. The one that I got holds five shells but can hold one more if you prime the blaster and load the other shell.
yea same with me i got mine off of zhenduotoys the brand was UDL
There’s a sawed off double barrel version, can you try that?
Weird, mine holds 6 shells without issue. And the rotating stock is how you unlock the real Benelli M4 stock to extend it. I guess this is another example of chinese manufacturers including half assed features in their copied products without fully understanding their purpose. Been an issue since they were copying Mauser and FN pistols in the 30s.
Same here
1:28 I was surprised to not hear a giggity
I saw a lever-action shotgun from the same brand. It looks awesome but doubtful about its practically. You should review it to see if it's any good.
Theres multiple of this thing but i dont think they are all the same brand i saw a sawn off m870 and a full stock m870 and extremely overpriced (in my country) kar98k and mosin
It shoots jolt levels of power, mine came primed, which made it weaker and it basically has all the same flaws minus gumming up as badly or as often and it doesn't have any weird barrel screws. So slightly better, but it has potential with better shells and a stronger spring/better air seal. I guess the same could be said of all of these knock off's though.
Edit: It also holds 5+1, so better ammo capacity.
Oh hey modding wizard
The lever action I got was awesome. Have to be really careful what you purchase, some models are shell eject only and do not fire darts. With my purple lever action, I can one hand prime it if I use my shoulder as a brace. When primed, can spin-cock it just like the terminator. The blue one I got does not fire darts, which kinda stinks but oh well.
@@TheOnlyPedroGameplays Hi there.
It's a super cool and pretty looking replica of a Benelli M4, which I think is the main purpose of this product. Shell ejection is just for cool anyways. We are already sacrificing performance, so I'm not too bothered by it. It seems like they at least used good materials and mostly did a good job copying the original firearm, so I wouldn't call it overall trash, just trash performance.
Not to mention they’re $150 on Amazon, so might wanna be using that money on the Dart Zone Pro MKIII for the better money, along with extra magazine.
id use the money on the nerf trilogy so i can get a nerf shotgun that actually works :p
Maybe the price like that in the US, but my country is closer to China so I can buy it for about 25$.
I appreciate videos like these. Despite the bad performance, it could still make a good cosplay/fight scene prop.
I hope that adventure force or out of darts makes something based off this which actually works well. This thing makes the warden look like a nexus pro
All of the other sin this part 4:07
He its shooting
Me:DOGGY
I love how he just doesn't care, Coop is not afraid to crap on any product and I love it.
That joke of having slam fire at the trigger really got me laughing WHAHAHA ( 2:38 )
Hey Coop, when mentioning average stats such as how many times an issue occurred (for example in this vid you said 5 times during your testing) can u give an average out of how many attempts such as saying it jammed 4 to 5 times out of 1000 shots. When u say something as vague as it just jammed 5 times it dosent properly articulate how many times the issue presents itself. Just a bit of constructive criticism, love your vids and keep up the great work dudebro
Good to see you, Coop.
That laugh at the lack of Nerf barrel lug - Priceless.
In short, just get a Spring Thunder. It runs consistently, does different shell types, and can actually do shotgun-style scattershot, and actually doesn't cost all *that* much more.
I’m not rich
Pro tip: if you don't want to watch the blaster fire -- or more accurately, not fire -- you can always look at Coop's dog.
You have a very cute dog btw :)
One thing that made me excited for this(though I think it’s illegal) is that it’s clearly modeled after John Wick’s Benelli M4 because it even has the Taran Tactical logo as seen in the movie! But the price and poor quality are real bummers. Thanks for the heads up!
finally someone noticed the fake logo!
@@MrFreefonix420 well, I’m glad to hear that!
@@returnedplague Yeah! I actually designed a replica of the same logo myself in tinker car and applied it to a talon baseplate so I can print my own taran tactical base plates for talon mags!!
I have this and the quality is actually pretty good. The company that made this is UDL, a chinese company that used to make gel blaster. The one coop has is different and most likely a fake UDL. The good one has a red coloured tube magazine cap and a red bottom on the grip, Coop's was black. The real one holds 5 in the tube and 1 in the chamber. Coop's holds only 4. The real one coms with only 6 shells, coop's comes with 10. The real one doesn't have the screw portruding in the barrel. However, even the real one doesn't shoot fast, only around 60fps.
Technically, the shotgun is just the military version of the benelli m4 but that's not the point I glad someone else noticed that too.
The dog is cooler than the gun😂
"Now I will show you it firing.....sort of" Best line ever
Just recently got back in to nerf so I restarted watching the channel, it’s been like 3 years since I last watched you,loving the new hair style
I live in Hong Kong and I bought this blaster for roughly 30USD (including shipping), mine hold 5 + 1 shells and definitely shoots above 50 fps, jams happened sometime but not to a point where it annoys me. The colour of my shotgun is slightly different from Coops and there isn’t anything blocking the barrel. Is it possible that this is the knock off version?
Yeah, I wonder if he got a knockoff of the knockoff. The box wasn't onscreen for long, but mine is the UDL brand and looks identical, but definitely holds FIVE shells, not just three. And no screws blocking the barrel either.
@@robblerobble8382 yeah same as mine, and the ammo tube has a red cap instead of a black one
@@1qaz2wsx3edc4rfv4 Yep, my tube endcap and pistol-grip underpiece are both tomato-red, not black. I just figured "meh, manufacturing variances", BUT, @Coop772's model is such a stinker, that it might be an important identifying trait between "UDL" and "knockoff-knockoff" versions...
@@1qaz2wsx3edc4rfv4 Agree, other people have reviewed it and there is no way it's that terrible. Probably a knock off of UDL. Then do you think it's worth purchasing?
@@HelloHimmie 30USD for the UDL version is definitely worth checking out , I had so much fun with blaster and its a great tool to learn quad loading
The Taran Tactical logo is the best part of the entire gun. That tells you how bad it is. It's almost disrespectful.
So this is obviously based aesthetically on the Bonelli M4. This is the same shotgun that is used here in the US Marine Corps. The stock was designed the way it is to easily lock up very close to the grip so that it does not interfere with the flak(plate carrier). It makes it much easier to wield in close quarters. Which as a breaching tool is what it will usually be used in.
Who asked?
...no, the stock does NOT rotate like that on a real xm1014. If it does, it'd be a bad stock
@@Davenzoid It rotates when you go to adjust the length of pull, it's not just a straight pull like an M4 carbine stock. However you have to push a button to unlock it so it can rotate, it doesn't just do it whenever.
@@carbon8ed ah alright, thanks for clarifying. I thought i dont remember it just rotating willy nilly like that
@@carefulman3673 I asked
ANOTHER video? I’m loving this
Strange blaster to review, but I don't mind.
Have you seen the Worker Swift?
Do you think you could improve the blaster?
Like, for example: making the spring stronger, fixing obvious issues, etc.
As a gun nerd, this thing claiming it’s an M1014 angers me, because that’s literally a semi auto combat shotgun, not a pump action shit-gun. Also Italy is jacked, and this thing disrespecting that area bugs me, even as a Canadian.
Oh no, it hurt you feelings!
@@Uragan00829 Yes. Me angy.
I don't think I've gotten the pleasure of hearing Coop RIP into a blaster like that before. I am happy to have gotten to have this experience
$150?!?! I laughed so many times while watching this review.😂
The ability to turn the Gun to Side without moving the Stock has also some real Shotguns (like tactical Verions from Benelli) and the use of it is really to make sure your chamber is empty after the last shot without breaking your hold (sorry for my maybe not so good english but I hope you understood what I meant)
I think it's probably just for looks rather than function
I'd imagine that this might be only useful as a prop gun, repainted of course
Coop can you do a xshot kickback rewiew cause It shoots very hard
It actually can hold a total of 6 shells, 5 + 1 in the chamber but i recommend only 4 + 1 in the chamber since it will push the spring a bit too hard :)
I broke mine because of this reason, it broke the stoper from stop feet the shell to the chamber, now all shell want to go to the chamber at once.
One thing to consider about this blaster is that the one sold on Amazon that coop has is either an outdated version from the Chinese company or a knockoff version as the other reviews on RUclips and a few other sources say that this blaster isn’t that bad.
Further evidence is that this blaster only has a capacity of 3 but other reviews show a blaster with a capacity of 5
I think you might have a lemon or inferior version
Gordon soo made review on same blaster (with orange trigger)
That worked much more consistently and shoot harder
Yeah, I have one too and it's a real looker but not much of a performer. But still, it holds 5 in the tube and has no screws blocking the barrel, so I think maybe Coop got screwed by a "knockoff knockoff" that isn't even the gray-market UDL "brand".
Can you use it without the stock like a sawed-off shotgun?
I have this one, but can load 5 in barrel, work fine, but doesn’t hit that hard
Nerf: "I make the worst guns"
Random Chinese company: "hold my shotgun"
Not really, coop bought a different version or a fake udl xm1014. I have one and it never jams or had issues like portruding screw. Get the one made by udl and not the one coop bought. The real one should hold 5+1 shells and not 4 like coops. They also only give 6 shells and not 10 like coops. The one that coop has is weird or fake.
@@Makotosaber link? This looks really cool so if there's a version that actually is good I might get it
This is so expensive on Amazon… It is around 20 dollars in China if I didn’t remember wrong
Yeah i dont get why its so expensive on amazon, its makes this blaster alot worse than what it is
Can you chamber a round and then load an extra shell into the mag tube? I wonder if this would at least be useful as a teaching tool for operating a real shotgun.
EDIT: Yikes, I just heard the price tag. Seems better to just run snap caps in an actual shotgun for teaching/practicing. As always, great consumer advice, Coop. Thanks!
Thank you for doing this actually. I don’t trust these Chinese products at all. They look good but they have poor performances.
Also, if you’re not free to choose you’re not free at all. Wise words, Coop.
I haven’t seen these videos on like 6 years it’s crazy to see and hear the evolution
It looks really cool tho. More as a prop weapon.
Maybe they’ll refine it and fix its issues but maybe other custom or off brand companies can make something similar in function and look that performs well.
At least this is still better than the Warden
There is, but strangely it look exactly the same but have different quality, i got mine pretty cheap like 41usd,
Then again Chinese product are very inconsistent
@@h3ll0w0rld7 so coop might have been sent a faulty product?
Interesting
@@Notbladestorm like I said it’s from China it’s 50/50
The shotgun: “do you trust me”
People who don’t watch your reviews: “with every cell in my body”
So you're telling me that this dart gun, with a heavier pull than an average dart gun, has a lower muzzle velocity than a Jolt? I'm disappointed.
Yes, it doesn't shoot far, only about 60fps. However, after i watched coop's review, it seems there are different versions of this blaster. I have one and it's different with coop's model. Mine holds 6 shells and doesn't have screw sticking out in the barrel. Mine fires consistently and never jams. The colour of the end cap on the magazine spring is also different with mine. I think the one coop has is a different version to mine.
Its because of china toy law

Just came here from the 1887 shottie review, Very similar looking blasters color wise, but this one is garbage compared to the 1887
Yeah I bought this like a day before coop reviewed it and was immediately sad but it's pretty fun to plank with
holy shit its as been at least 5 years since i tuned in, coop my guy i love you but let me introduce to my friends the gym. (still love you are awesome)
It looks so cool. Shame it's well below par on performance.
Thanks for the review. I like the face that you don’t sugarcoat stuff. I wish more reviewers were like you.
What a shame It looks so cool
The dog looks so amazed by the nerf gun firing I love it :D
My man here just saved me some money. I saw this on Amazon and impulsively put it in my cart. I did a quick Google search of the product, found this video, and emptied my cart.
There's a different version of this blaster. You'll want the one made by udl. It doesn't have the screw sticking in the barrel. It also hold 5+1 unlike the one coop has. The cap at the end of the magazine tube and the bottom of the grip is also red not black like coops. The udl version doesn't jam but it doesn't shoot hard maybe around 60fps. Don't get the fake one coop has, get the udl version instead.
Where have the years gone. Nowhere this is the exact same coop I once knew
I like how when you were doing the firing demo ur dog was watching the darts and becoming confution
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
jeez coop, big change huh.. havent seen a vid of yours in years. keep them up
