![[REVIEW] Newisland Sharp-Shooter | RIP-OFF MODULUS?!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/xp2_PoS4A_I/mqdefault.jpg)
At 54 and being a grandfather,I can still get away with playing NERF with my grandchildren,so you're never too old Coop.
It’s too wholesome
NERF
I hope life has been treating you well so far six years later
Happy 60th!
@@jameswolf5513 It's almost 61 now.
When it comes to Nerf, and other things that society would say is a no-no for legal adults, I subscribe to this philosophy I heard a RUclipsr called TJOmega say: There is no age limit on fun. If you have fun with something, you should never let another person tell you that you're too old for it.
Or too young
"We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing"
- i forgot who
@@sinnamontoastcrunch3 too young is absolutely a thing
I collect hotwheels and people say I shouldn't because it's for little kids but I still wanna do it, pressure is hard to do what I love
Do what you love in life and dont listen to others
+Uncharted 4 ok thanks
Thanks that really helped! :)
Breaking rc That's what internet "friends" are for! ;)
+BlackMambaAirsoft lol...
I hate people that are against any one of these. I love all three, they're all great!
First. Get rekt noobs.
NO FAIR!!!!
Y u bully me
Lmao you can TELL this is 5 years ago just by Coop's comment.
U big booli
How about 6mm nerf darts filled with paint?
+AstralCantaloupe or a bb :\
I don't think that would shoot very far
KillerSaladman who knows :P
that is the best idea ever...
AstralCantaloupe smart
When I was 12 I thought of these 3 hobbies.
I chose Nerf because Airsoft is illegal in my country and I can't even find any paintball sites in my country (they're legal)
Nerf has cheaper products while airsoft maintains a realistic look during games.
Are you dutch?
Ben jij nederlands?
luc bremer Nope.
Where you from?

Malaysia, a little not-so well-known country
Interesting comments. I never thought I would hear Nerf compared to airsoft and paintball. Being that I'm 40 (almost double your age) I'll provide my thoughts on the topic. I sold my Tippman A5 with upgrades to purchase an airsoft M4 and pistol. My son has been randomly buying Nerf since he was old enough to pull the cocking mechanism back, but I never gave it much thought. It wasn't until "Dart Warz" opened up in our local town that Nerf even crossed my mind. At that point, price comes into play. Nerf is WAY cheaper. I spent over $300 on my A5 and around $250 for my M4 and pistol. If you spend $99 on Nerf, you are buying top of the line. Heck, $50 may be top of the line, depending on the series you are into. For us, we don't have to worry about darts or discs because they are provided by the facility. If I had to buy good loadouts for 4 people for airsoft or paintball, I'd be broke. With Nerf, I can pick up 4 CS-18's for $160 (even less when on sale) and be competitive. Well, competitive being anything that shoots more than one shot at a time. The free rentals are complete garbage and the cost to upgrade is so expensive, you'd be better off putting that money toward buying the blaster.
The next big thing for us is age. My kids are 8 and 10. I doubt my daughter will ever want to play airsoft or paintball because it hurts. And even if she did, I'd have to wait another 5+ years. With Nerf, the entire family can go out and play today (including my wife!).
Now, I have the excuse that I'm a father playing with his kids. I can't see myself and a bunch of 40 year olds playing Nerf in the park, it just wouldn't happen. But my wife and I chasing our two kids around in the park.. Totally...
Cs-18 isn't a blaster name (I'm not trying to sound rude) the blaster is the rapidstrike
James Zawacki that should be funny like you go to the park :
-yeah let's go play nerf
And four 40 years old guys playing nerf
xD
James Zawacki I
Damn. U really think I'm gonna read all that?
I am of similar age, and I am into airsoft and nerf. It really sucks that you get the too old comments. I tend to lean towards airsoft because, the people I play with are of similar age. No one plays nerf nearby me. I loved the tips and, happy nerfing.
Yeeaaahhhh, spin all the yarns you want, Coop. We all know why 12 year-olds won't invite you into their basements (yes, that sounds creepy). They all know that you would annihilate them.
Woah
So true
Hey another railfan! I am a fan.
Im into airsoft but i have a few nerf guns to and i enjoy bolth. I also love real firearms
But the single best part about Nerf is the spontaneity. I can just hide nerf guns around my house, and at any time I can whip one out and shoot my friend and start a war with absolutely no fear of hurting them or damaging my stuff. You could never do that with the other two.
Holy_Diver Very true
The part about the bossing around in airsoft, just become a sniper. Youre a lone wolf 95% of the time. No one bosses you around.
Except about the fact that getting a decent sniper costs around 400$ and to become a good sniper takes multiple years, and you can’t bring a sniper to an indoor facility. And if anything happens to the gun, and it’s a sniper the repair will cost anywhere from 200-300 dollars to repair, unlike my M4 which costs 60$ to fix.
@@aidenturton6204 what the hell kind of of rifle are you looking at? You can get a decent rifle well under $400. Repairs do not cost $200-300. It doesn't take much skill to not move alot and find a good sniping position, so no it doesn't take years.
@@aidenturton6204 Yall responding to a 5 year old comment and I am responding to a comment that is 3 weeks old.

But I wanna spray and pray all day every day
UR 2 OLD 4 DIS.
Alright, no really that's a joke. I agree with you on this video 100%.
Just stumbled upon your channel. Great life philosophy. I rarely play any of these games (I prefer target shooting and competition with the real thing), but I'm fascinated that there is such a sub-culture of "Nerfing" (never heard the term before). I'm subscribing because this seems wild.
Nerf 4 Lyfe! I also airsoft, but I won't ever stop buying Nerf. I mean, sometimes you just want to whip out a nerf gun a shoot your friends. Ambushing friends when they walk in the door is awesome.
I like paintball because of range, accuracy, hit confirmation, powerful feel to the guns, and the force behind the projectiles adds a psychological aspect to it. However, the guns and ammo are costly and getting overpowered is no fun (and this will happen often because you are most of the time restricted to your local fields if there are any). Nerf has good weapon variety at a low cost (I do have quite a bit of nerf stuff) but they break and jam easy (most of mine are broken or operating below standard). Plus you are very vulnerable when reloading since you are playing in close quarters due to low range. Although you CAN play it anywhere, I have trouble finding/making a good area where there is a lot of cover and space to move (homes and hotel rooms are too linear). I haven't gotten too far into airsoft but I would like to get back into it. I just don't want to be outgunned though like in paintball.
what nerf guns did you buy? they don't jam, especially when modified
airsoft is fun for indoor target practice but most fields seem to only support tight groups of milsim players instead of casual fun. Paintball is to expensive for regular play imo but sounds like you might have a better time playing casually. Like a lot of cool hobbies you are limited by where to play and the community.
Nerf is great because you can goof around in the house or yard without upsetting the neighbors. if their new rival line is good it might be about the closest you can get to playing paintball at home. Fun for all ages and it baffles me that people would rather play cod.
PLAY AT A AIRSOFT FEILD NOT MILSIM
I believe that nerf is for people who don't want to spend a lot of money and are just trying to have fun. The people who say that airsoft is better and we need to man up can do what they want. Because airsoft, paintball, and nerf are for fun and it is not like any of them will take very far in life. But we can make memories with all of them.
NorCal Nerf And the fact that they don't hurt. Also, KEEP IN MIND Nerf is for kids
Slime Dime then why is there a whole adult community
KL-1104 I meant that Nerf was meant for kids, I know adults play it too
Yo, this is why I love ur Channel. You got me back into nerfing and got me into modding. Your channel is the best nerf channel on RUclips!
When he says come at me at the end, I just imagine some 3 people hammering him with bbs, darts and paintballs and the screen closes out
I think it's cool that you play nerf at 23
personally I have experience with all 3 hobbies and they are all a lot of fun and have their own pros and cons. One think though sometimes the paintball community can be a bit toxic but mostly they are perfectly fine.
I love your vids I would never come at you
FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE WHO DOESNT TAKE ORDERS!
tchanka
As far as I know, airsoft is actually illegal in New York and some other US states.
Yes it is illegal in NY
Dennis Claros I have been to fields in NY so I dont get how this is so lol
***** Dude. That's illegal and it can and will get you killed.
(Seriously, there are REAL cases where this kind of shit happens.)
***** Have fun with that.
I live in ny, where is some Airsofting places you know of
I believe (on the cheater subject) that paintball has the least amount of cheaters, because of the visual marking. In my experiences airsoft players, unless they are pretty young, will use the honor system and take their honorable death. Nerf, i cant speak for, i have never really played any serious competitive nerf.
I bet if you made a 1st person shooter video game style Nerf war video you would get several millions of views. Other kids have done so with less than average war videos.
first person shooter?!?!?!???????????
First person shooter is meaning see out of someone else's eye
Yea... Would be verrrry awesome...
use Go pro on head for that
Thx for doing this I always wanted sne1 to compare all 3
You're too young to have such a wise perspective on life. I'm sure you could write a book on it - " Zen and the art of Nerfing"
nerf can be played year round, indoors or outdoors. If you play paintball in the winter, you have to play it outside, and it really stings when it's cold.
Paintball and airsoft both sting, but that's because the projectiles go fast and far -- something that makes Nerf a lot worse. The fact that I can dodge Nerf bullets when my younger neighbors want to play is horrible.
Airsoft is far more realistic and it's in the middle as far as price goes. It has been proven that Nerf darts get worn down over time so BB's are more cost effective as well.
Unless you live in an apartment building or something, airsoft and paintball are far better, it's just down to the pain and the price.
And you may not find the pellets
Ryan Brown Realism is not the most important thing. If you want realism join the fucking army you pansey. Nerf is fun for all ages and can sting if you have a modded blaster and shoot at short range. I have both airsoft and nerf and enjoy them both but I think cost and fun is more important than realism. Also you recover nerf darts you can't recover bb's.
Joeyplaysgames Realism isn't the most important thing in your eyes, to a lot of other people it's a reenactment of war. I plan to join the army when I'm at the age. It's a matter of personal preference and if you can't find that you're stupid. If you want to stay at a low price and enjoy how Nerf plays than that's fine. And as far as pain, it doesn't matter, getting shot by something that stings doesn't make you a bad ass. I would love if airsoft didn't hurt but personally it doesn't really matter for my preference. Not to sound like an airsoft elitist fag, but I'm sure a modded Nerf blaster doesn't hurt as much as an airsoft gun.
And for recovery of Nerf darts,as I said in my previous comment, Nerf darts get worn down over time and it's proven, especially from modded blasters just because of the impact on the cheap foam. It adds up. Airsoft guns are completely different and you can't compare the ammo - airsoft bb's are made of plastic and are going at speeds of 320+ FPS, half the time hitting a pack of dirt or a tree, made of wood obviously, and the other half
hitting a human. No matter what it hits it experiences some form of corrosion, and because of how airsoft guns and the shooting mechanisms work, it's generally not the safest to reuse them.
It's not comparable. All I was saying was the pros airsoft and paintball had over nerf. No need to get all pissy.
You've never heard of an indoor field? Really? Lol.
I play paintball, but I want nerf stuff because you can't shoot paintballs at home :c
or can you
+Noah Kowalke OHHHHHHHHHHH
Nope you can't it's gonna ruin the walls
+Rockstar 555 it was joke
+Rockstar 555 WHO CARES ABOUT THE WALLS WHO NEEDS THEM XD
3:44 coop there are things called bio bbs they are biodegradable so you can shoot them outside :)
I think most trolls forget that way back in the day someone designed and built the first nerf gun, and I bet that it wasn't a ten year old who came up with it. Most things like toys are designed by adults, look at models or even radio control. Most would think they are toys but not too many kids can drop $500-$1000 dollars building a nitro powered rc car. I am an adult and have many hobbies that people think are for kids, look at the new blasters that nerf has come up with, how many kids have a spare $80-$100 dollars lying around.
I don't play nerf. I play airsoft if I'm short on cash. I play paintball if I have enough for paint.
you are NOT to old for nerf
You can never be too old for nerf.
+Cookiebit127 Not necessarily...
+JJlox48 Yes he is
+Ziquifii no... he's not
i just buy a few good air-soft guns and Nerf guns i do both MIND BLOWN BOOM! ( : O
Send an e-vite to your friends for Nerf then you get tons of people and play at the park MIND BLOWN (again) BOOM! ( : O
Catman10000 shut up your like 10
How old are you hmm?12? I'm not ten I'm thirteen numbskull
So? I'm shire your vocabulary isn't much better. And I don't cuss because I don't have a dirty mind
Wow you don't even know what a numbskull means means you're stupid assuming my age.
If this was a post on a forum, I would up it so much. Air soft is just nod my style, I play nerf to mod and to play with my brother (he's to young to play pb) but I have really been drawn to paintball. However, paint is 60 bucks at the field and I have heard the Canadians have 150 for a case. I don't have a job yet so I can't play paintball as frequent as I want to. But I think all of the three hobbies have their pros and their cons. And not to stir up a argument, I feel that air soft is easier to cheat because you can't see the markings. Also, they have reballs in paintball that are rubber and are reusable. Great video coop!
Couldn't agree more. No such thing as too old to enjoy yourself. Being in Aus Airsoft is out and paint ball heavily restricted so that only leaves nerf! Our local group has about 50 members who get together monthly for wars and our ages range from 16 to 29. We all have fun because we are all there for the same reason.
In nerf I know alor of military hand signs so when I do some in a nerf war, the poor 11 year old deaf kid is wondering why I just threatened to bomb a handicapped McDonald's parking lot
you forgot light strike and super soaker in your comparison :)
I personally think nerf is the most affordable an paintball is the least affordable. Airsoft is in between and more realistic than the others.
Nerf can't compete
True
Moto rider14 Ever caught a dart to the eye?
Rival
With mods and rival rounds it can
Dr Oddfellow this is hilarious. I think nerf is cool bit this argument...
XD
Wish I would have found this awhile back because I went out and blew 350 on a paintball gun that I have used for actual games 5 times also I had a setup before that and people made fun of it so instead of getting good with my setup I just, of course, bought a better gun so whatever you choose don't be ashamed of it and just practice
I personally think that nerf is a little better for the current situation in Brazil, having a good blaster is much cheaper than a good gun and although some blasters can cost over 400 reais There will still be cheaper options off-Brand or someone with more than one blaster can lend to those who don't have
man i remember it was my bday a day before this came out and when i saw it i thought coop knew it was my birthday so i freaked and was so happy
"All three are for losers. You should just play with real guns!"
How much of this do you get, and how good does it feel to tell them you do?
I get comments like that every once in a while. I don't usually respond to those individuals, though. Just by asking such a question, I can tell they wouldn't even begin to understand our reasoning for enjoying this hobby.
i fucking hate people like that
I love how lasertag is completely ignored lol
it's not as big, and is easier to set up and play.
I play laser tag instead, because I dont have to look for the darts after playing...
It's great to know that somebody else shares the opinion that one hobby isn't better than the other.... but one way or another.... You will spend loads upon loads of money into said hobby....
I thought the vid was quite good!
I'm and old dude and I have some nerf blasters.
I also like astronomy, and have 3 telescopes.
You're right on Coop, and I ain't coming at ya!!
Srry gramps but we don't care that u like astrometry
Colin O'Meara I got your gramps hanging,nice spelling.
I am made fun of just because I play nerf and I still play so shut up coop can do what he says he can do if he likes nerf leave him he makes very good video's so leave him alone
I'm from Brazil and one of my friends says: Nerf is ridiculous get into airsoft. But in Brazil airsot is only for people that are +18 and heve the autorization(I think that's right) of the army, and a stryfe is 150 Reals and the cheaper airsoft is about 1500 Reals
I got my nite finder ex-3 to shoot over 100 FT! By replacing the spring with a 4 in 25 LBS. But it is REALLY hard to colk.
night*
how you try to slide nerf into this conversation
As an Aussie I really hav no choice and plus we hav grey trigger guns plus I'm not much of a modder so it's more intense having to get up close just to shoot your target
I know what you mean about nerf bullets but you can buy koosh darts really cheap
10:11 His armpit is sweating o.o
This video was recommended to me, somehow. Interesting time capsule! Things sure have changed when it comes to public perception of nerfing. I haven't encountered anyone who has displayed the attitude of me being too old to collect blasters. Friends, family, coworkers all think it's neat. Perhaps because public perception of general nerding out has changed so much.
I'll assume Coop still gets those haters in his comments. But I'm fairly certain that most of his haters are hating for something completely different. Like bashing Ultra. You're wrong, Coop!
I like Nerf and paintball.
me too
never to old to nerf
+TeamGalaxyWings You`re absolutely right I don't consider Nerf to be just a toy it can be used for target practice if you don't want to damage things
yes
GXCVIL depends on the dart
Yes you can be
you are not to old for nerf you can never be to old to do something you love
Is there like highend nerf guns? Like maybe guns made by other companies but shoot nerf darts? Or do you just use regular nerf guns?
Nobody plays Nerf around my residence, and I'm too poor to get into airsoft or paintball. So, I buy a whole bunch of Nerf, especially spring blasters, 'cause working the action is fun and I can safely shoot them at home. Flywheels are for practical use, like actual wars.
Coop I noticed you said something about 12 year old playing nerf in this video but me and most my friends have been playing airsoft since we were around 10 and this is the same for a lot of people
If you want a competitive nerfer to battle I'm always up for a challenge
I'm 11 and I love paintball my dad also likes it so it's nice
Interesting, pretty much my thoughts too, I'm 25 and I've been nerfing since I was about 15 or 16. There are quite a few guys in the city where I live that are 10 or more years older than myself that frequent wars.
I like nerf because it's cheap and doesn't hurt as much airsoft and paintball
Totally Agree :)
agree man
AIRSOFT doesn't hurt Iam 10 compeeting with high FPS gun just wear protection but paintball does hurts
Madhav me to
Nerf? Cheap? How
Nerfs are awfully pricey for their performance
Good point coop, good point.
this video is officially six years old
thats crazzy, coop is the only RUclipsr that iv been consistently watching for the past 5 years
Good job Coop! I personally enjoy airsoft more but nerf and paintball are fun hobbies that enjoy as well.
I hear you on the not having a large Nerf player base around. Out here in Nor Cal the biggest group I know of is an hour and a half away
I live in Nor Cal and i have a group of buddies, about 8 of us, that'll get together and do BBQ and nerf every few weeks. Its good stuff. I hear ya though, Not too many people are into Nerf around here.
Where in Nor Cal?
Coop, u the man bro. There's nothing wrong about pursuing a hobby. Playing with nerf or airsoft or whatever doesn't make one a nerd. It's all about having fun, no matter what age you are. I have a couple of nerf guns myself. Lots of people play in my college too, so I see nothing wrong.....
Like you said, haters gonna hate :)
I agree if people wanna judge let them judge its a free country. So i can play whatever i want
Thank you so much for making this video. It was desperately needed.
People who play air soft make me mad because they act like they’re all tough and wear all this tactical stuff and act like they are in the army but if they were in the army they’d pee their pants and quit. I’m not saying I’d join the army but I don’t act like I’m in it In the 1st place
Ryan Ray Yes they do that, but they don’t actually think that they’re total ballers. Like coop said they talk the lingo and dress the part because they like feeling like they’re in the military, it makes it more fun for them.
I'm 21 and nerf not like hardcore but I always look at what blaster is out and make a judgement call if I should get it or not but I have an infatuation with guns/blasters
In the 5 boroughs it is illegal but in long island and upstate ny it is not. Also airsoft gi ships anywhere in the states even to queens Staten Island brooklyn Bronx and even Manhatten.
Keep up the high spirit man!, I wish I had a nerf gun
My friend next door, we play with nerf guns and we can play it outside in his big yard or in my large (and has lots of cover) basement.
just play with what you what to do
Why can't we all just play everything?
Not everyone is rich enough or has enough time.
Because there's this thing where the equipment for these hobbies don't just fall from the sky
i've seen tonnes of nerf mods and paint jobs, and your nerf mods are the best that i can find on the internet, nerf is definately the most affordable of the three, and you can customize nerf alot more that airsoft or paintball, agree, would watch again would subscribe 10/10 ghost antics
I'm 29 and still play with Nerf blasters, so yeah, 23 really isn't too old.
I play Nerf, and I quit airsoft because I don't like hurting people and getting hurt, and with nerf, you usually have less of a chance of getting in trouble
I know how ya feel coop, my parents; siblings; and grandparents, all give me a hard time about playing with NERF. But do I listen, PFFFFFFT No!😆 #NerfForLife
My freinds and family make fun of me for playing with nerf guns then I show the pictures on my phone and then they stop
***** pics of my work perv
Don't worry your not to old for nerf
The last point is something I think I needed to hear. I started to kinda hide the fact that I really fucking like Yugioh as I got older because people (Magic players especially) were telling me that I'm too old for children's card games. I never saw it as something FOR kids, but rather accessible enough for them.
As for a relevant point, I honestly have no business really watching your channel since I am an enthusiast of none of these hobbies. It's just...kinda impossible right now. I just like your channel, but personally I think if it were a possibility, I'd pick airsoft since you say modding is simpler. That's what pushes me from Nerf, you HAVE to do heavy duty modding to be competitive. :C
A few minutes ago i commented on somebody that sais pokemon is better than nerf, and i randomly told him yugioh (spelled wrong) is way better... Than i readed ur comment, and now im feeling bad...
That pit sweat at the end...
Can you guys help me with my load out? I play nerf. I want a full auto, I need rails, a rail close to the front for bayonets, and a rail on top for a shield, I want a removable stock for a chop-stock. Thanks for suggestions.
Rapid strike would probably be your best pick
You were right about all of that. I am a subscriber, I agree.
very thought , i like air soft and nerf but theres no big nerf events near me
I like nerf because it does not hurt or kill
"I like it because it doesn't kill me."
Hax ja Mix
how?
I found this very interesting. Glad you made it.
But dude... I BOUGHT THOSE SAME FUCKING CHAIRS!
Also nice to find out you airsofted for a little too
my brothers played with airsorf and paintball. I'm completely into modding and I may try integrating some airsoft guns just for lols. cost is a slightly smaller matter to me.
(plz don't take that as arrogance.)
yeah Good time!!!
i’ve never understood why people tell other people that they are too old for something. as long as you enjoy it, that perfectly fine.
Hey coop come to malaysia we have lots of free games at lots of places go to Facebook and type "roughnecks (MY)" and there are also adults.......many of them. XD
Lol I live in malaysia too
I was born in Indonesia, close to you but I'm in USA now
what you said at the end was awesome. I shouldnt listen to those people who think nerf is for kids. ITS FUN SO SCREW THE HATERS
you can kinda do the same exact thing that you can with nerf, with airsoft. You cant really with paintball but you can with airsoft but i do agree with the fact that nerf is probably the best to tinker with because they are so low priced compared to airsoft.
Nerf is way easier to get into in Australia as you need a gun licence to get a paint ball gun and airsoft is just plain illegal so nerf wins but they are seen as just toys so their really is no scene. Oh well my main interest is really just modifying blasters anyway.
If I had a choice I would go with paintball due to trust issues with airsoft.
BTW you forgot the forth option: laser tag
