From what I’ve heard, the fortnite rockets have less of a spin due to the more straighter fins compared to the regular demolisher rockets’, so that could be a reason for the inaccuracy.
@@BaconCheesesteak I’m guessing no. It would have to very oddly shaped and I don’t think rockets have as much power as darts do compared to its mass. Of course this is just speculation but I think that the spin that older rockets give is enough to keep it fairly accurate
Very awesome build. From the perspective of those of us that haven’t done much modding (but enough to know how difficult it can be), you give yourself too little credit. That blaster looks rad and it is totally gnarly (slang to go with the paint scheme😂)
Found this video later than most. But I've been working on a replacement back end for it to turn it into a proper springer. The problem I'm running into is designing a priming mech that'll work with the under barrel prime. Gearing it seems like the primary solution, but then there would need a full priming rod and gear train and a way to keep the rotation mech intact, then there's the catch/trigger that can handle the spring weight required to fire rockets at a respectable fps....
I'm tired of people acting like this isn't impressive. This is just pure Wizardry! People say my Wildfire mods are impressive but this just blows it out of the water! Keep up the good work and please show more of this!
It took me awhile to finally get a chance to sit down and watch this video. I’m not even half way through and I’m just gonna say it... “brilliant”. Impractical? Meh 🤷♂️ Cool as heck? Yes! 🤠👍👍
That is the sweetest thing I have ever seen to be honest with you I was watching one of welcomes videos and I was thinking about the same thing but not a magic strike I was thinking of using a rapid fire 20 but now that I see what it looks like with a magstrike I'm in love pretty cool mod I give you props
Great video. That’s a pretty good solution. Best rocket launcher ever is still the Ultimator though it was the least stealthy blaster ever also. Keep up the great work sir.
Love this mod! The rate of fire should be fine, if you need a full auto grenade launcher in nerf you have probably made some questionable tactical decisions.
I was a bit unsure about getting one because I'm not a Fortnite fan, so I didnt see why I would want Fortnite merch, but now seeing its mod potential, I need one.
Could you make a video or post something regarding the paints/methods you use? I’ve heard you say you use a vinyl dye, but I’m really unfamiliar with anything other than a typical rattle can, and the colors you use are AMAZING!!
Has this kind of system ever been done before? Because this is so brilliantly simple and now I want to try designing a 3D print custom that works like this but with regular darts. The concept of battery-powered systems that aren't flywheelers is something I'm really interested in and this is a whole new way to do it
Wow, that was an excellent explanation of how to do a compressored magstrike. I’m guessing you would get better performance with a rigid tank (like a titan or similar) instead of a bladder like the magstrike, but air blasters aren’t my strong suit. One person on Facebook noticed that the fins on the rockets the GL comes with aren’t angled, which could explain some of your accuracy issues. (Although demo rockets aren’t really an accurate ammo type to begin with) All in all a very impressive build and I love the Behemoth of a blaster you’ve turned it into.
Quick action gas valve solenoid connected to a secondary gas chamber... 1st chamber holds the gas supply, 2nd chamber cycles and fires the rocket. That way the system is constantly charged. Lower cycle times, like a big ass paintball gun.
yeah I guess on the new nerf stuff you should do the screws by hand. my pharaoh had the plastic melt and freeze the screws in place from using a power drill. one screw was stuck and I pushed it out and the screw head popped off. another one I had to drill the head off to get it out.
@@Rancid_Ninja yeah prob the way to go. I usually do by hand anyway but I never had the plastic melt like that with other blasters I opened and closed with my power drill
Hey before I attempt this MOD, did you try upgrading the stock internals first and just werent happy with the results bringing about this mod? Or were you just like oh no, I know just what this needs! Compressed air! I'm wondering if a Rapid Fire 20 could be a good match. I dont currently own one at this time but theres one for sale for $20 I may grab unless someone says "no that wont work at all" or otherwise. I have a mazooka but I'd hate to rape it just for the internals...wouldn't be worth it.
Nerf isn't one of my hobbies per se, but I love the mechanical complexity of these 'toys'. Also, I have an idea for this thing. Essentialy, air is delivered from a paintball tank, and the drum is spring wound, [same as real steel]. Delete 90% of that 'barrel', leaving just enough to remount the foregrip. Effectively semi-auto, zero barrel drag. Thoughts anyone?
I wondered why noone did this yet and then I found your channel this video got my sub lol this thing is sick!,p.s the new rockets are crap they dont have angles stab fins so they dont spin like the old ones
recently acquired 1 of these & it does not fire. the indexing works but will not fire ... not worked on 1 of these before so any advice would be appreciated, please
AFAIK the bladder system of the Magstrike isn't ideal for single projectiles, since it can't release all its air at once like a rigid tank. But with the straight-finned Fortnite rockets, increasing the power might just drop accuracy even further.
Btw if I remember correctly one of Cap X's vids on rockets he found out you can put direct orders on Buzzbee rockets on their website for $1 a piece (don't quote me on that).
I just got my hands on one of these things from the local thrift shop for 5 bucks, so if someone could point me to a parts list I'd be really grateful.

I've never seen so much complexity and ingenuity put into a mod before. This is absolutely brilliant. Well done doc
@@davedoesthingsdreaded That was worth looking into. Thanks!
From what I’ve heard, the fortnite rockets have less of a spin due to the more straighter fins compared to the regular demolisher rockets’, so that could be a reason for the inaccuracy.
Would a SCAR barrel work for a Demolisher rocket, I wonder?

Awesome job! That's made me happy, from the paintjob to the thing itself! ^_^ Long live the Magstrike!
Glad you like it!

Amazing colours
What brand of paint are you using? Your colors come out amazing!
Krylon Fluorescent Paint
amazing build! first video i watched when i got home from work. soon ill have some space to attempt builds like these.
Inspires me to get my pnumatic Magnum Superdrum + Magstrike finished
Do it! that sounds very cool!

Love this mod! The rate of fire should be fine, if you need a full auto grenade launcher in nerf you have probably made some questionable tactical decisions.
you need to order some buzz bee rockets direct from buzz bee
God damn, its not fair your work is so clean.
Yes Sir! I was thinking of the same thing when I saw COOP's video on it the other night. Great job brother.!
That is a great mod, much better than what hasbro offered!! Awesome inspiration!!!
Ok, I’m LOVING the color scheme
Ive done that compressor set up on a magstrike back in 2017. Running 2s. Didnt use a batt gauge, but the rest is as you say. Nice work
This is everything I wanted. Thank you sir
This is way simpler than I thought it would be! It looks to be within my capabilities. Thank you for making this video
Glad it was helpful!
What brand and paints do you use? I’ve been wanting to paint one of my blasters in some neon colors and these always look so good.
the key is I vinyl dye all parts white before the florescent paint
That’s really really cool! I can’t imagine how much time you have in this mod. Thanks for sharing Dr. Flux!
Only just found the vid - this is such an amazing job. ROCKET THE WORLD =D
Just Brilliant Work Doc, keep it up!

Ingenious.... That is all
I’m probably not getting a GL but I’m working on modding my Pharaoh
He isn’t wrong it is really heavy lol
This destroys basement wars
What air compressor is that? Nice job by the way!!!
just some old tire pump i had in my truck for years
Did you take it out of its housing?
Hmmm. Doesn't the magstrike release air slowly, as it's meant to fire darts full auto?
yes for the most part.
OMG I LOVE IT. HOW AND WHERE DO I GET ONE.
Now I have a reason to get a GL....dang it Dr. Flux, I was trying to save money!
i would recommend doing the same thing but with a titan tank. Im considering making another with that.
@@drflux If only I could find those in my local thrift stores.
“ what makes me a good Demoman? IF I WHERE A BAD DEMOMAN I WOULDN’T BE SITTIN HERE DISCUSSING IT WITH YOU NOW WOULD I?”
By the way, get Fortnite Rockets if you want genuine Nerf rockets. I mean they're the same thing other than color.
how many fps you got there?
I for sure have a desire to do this souped up to a ridiculous amount
Love this build to this day. I actually went back and improved performance on it.
Very nice.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great build, rockets at Toys Rus four for 12.99 cdn
i have that same shirt
We need a blaster that can fire rockets extremely well, not just ok, but excellently
Love it

Why don't you make custom rockets that dosen't hit the barrel
