Cap, I'd just like to say thank you. I'm a high school senior and recently my life has been one major snowball effect where everything has been going down hill. Mental health has plummeted but in my search for anything to help get me to sleep or keep me grounded, your channel popped into my recommendations and has helped immensely to keep my spirits up in the face of everything, you've even gotten me back into the hobby in a way. To be completely honest (and I know it's a little cheesy) your cheerful spirit and passion for a hobby like this has saved many bad days from getting a whole lot worse and made me smile throughout it all. I know you might not see this, but if you do just know you're a great guy who's helped a poor schmuck like me crawl my way slowly from rock bottom, so again, thank you.
Captain Thank you so very much for going through you prep routine. These videos are super helpful and totally awesome. So thanks again for taking the time to go over all this stuff. You rock keep up the great work. Bangarang
Should one do a "cleaning" maintenance on blasters, and ammo delivering system, ie. magazines, cylinders, clips, and/or belt chains, after getting back home from an event prior to storing if it's not going to be used for a lengthy amount of time (what is a lengthy amount of time) to avoid build up of "dart dust" on flywheels and brass barrels? Or would cleaning it up just a few days, or to a week, prior to the start of an event be sufficient, just to ensure the blaster and magazine, cylinders, clips, and/or belt chains are working properly? Thanks.
Did I not mention that in the video? Thought I did. It might not have made the edit. Anyway, yes, also service you year after an event. Make sure nothing is primed, remove the batteries, empty your mags, clean them, etc.
I figured you will post a new video today and you picked a good one. still hyped for this years JENB. sad you aren't going but I will do my best to make you and the Aux crew proud. and the date for it is on my Birthday
one thing i noticed, although not relevent to anything, but useful, is that when one wraps 2 or 3 wraps of yarn around the barrel attachment, it stiffens up the barrels and they dont wobble as much.
Thanks Cap, this was very useful and informative to me. I read all of the OSU rules and still wasn't sure exactly what to bring and you helped me allot in clarify ing what is good to bring with your previous years of experience, I hope to see you there! PS: I wasn't sure if they allowed half-length darts since it didn't clarify that on the rules list ( which probably means they aren't, but still) do they allow half-length darts at their events now?
I heard Silicone grease or White Lithium Grease are supposedly safe for plastic/rubber. Don't get the spray, because they evaporate after a month or something. I'm not an expert and only opened up a few blasters before, so if your blaster ends up like swiss cheese, please don't kill me. In fact, safest bet is buy it from Out of Darts or Foamblast or etc. Those guy know a lot more about Nerf than me and are quite well-respected within the Nerf community.
Silicone lubricant is the best from my experience. White lithium grease tends to go bad over time leaving a nasty mess. Stay away from anything petroleum based as well as aerosol spray cans. I use Oatey’s Silicone Grease that I bought at Lowe’s.
Enjoyable video as always Captain. I wondered, do you try to put some kind of identifier on your socks, foam brains, etc to try to aid in getting them back?
Hey Captain. I found a post on the Nerf subreddit about the newer batches of Hammershots and thought I should share it with you. Someone noticed there were changes made to them and it affects the installation of OMW kits. (possibly other kits as well) www.reddit.com/r/Nerf/comments/fa6iis/heres_something_to_note_when_buying_a_hammershot/
I dont know if you have a video or you talked about this in another video but if you haven't then thats fine. Since I'm wanting to do some hvz games I dont know places or resources that I can use to find games. Thanks Captain Xavier.
Facebook. Most clubs have a Facebook group. And if they don't their members are probably members of the various Nerf Facebook Groups like the Auxiliary or NerfLife
@@Boomstickmods Spring Thunder is a cool gun. I have gotten to Nerf with the guy who made it. I remember taking a shot point blank from a singles shell right to the forehead that stung. He use to live in around Massachusetts for collage, but moved back to upstate New York after he graduated. Only time i have seen him come back is for these crazy HVZ that get run around here ruclips.net/video/ZhFChVNkpEE/видео.html . He hands out 3d Printed Spring Thunder Key Chains, and cards on how to order the gun. So he jokes that he gets to right off the cost of attending these HVZS as a business expenses.
Man I wish I had the money to do this stuff I have around 10 stock nerf blasters and they are pretty old, but I could never afford any of those fancy kits but I bet it would be cool to have!
I have a while video on starting Nerf events. Location is usually the biggest hurdle. Without knowing your location I can't give much in the way of advice. City parks usually allow Nerf bit always check with the city first. Schools will sometimes allow it.
@@CaptainXavier hello and thank you so I live In the UK and there is not meny in Leeds and I am thinking of a a way to have a way to play with friends and help others get in to the hobby
"I will still play if the game is still playing" ...Amen on that... Rain or shine...LOL...I better play...it's 7,817 miles ( 12,557 km) Guam, USA to Pennsylvania ...5,673 miles (9,114 km)Guam to Seattle, Washington ...etc...
Maybe it's cause it's late at night..well it is for me anyway..when you posted the comment it says it was 31 minutes ago so..just around midnight here in the south. Where you live the time may be different.
and one more thing im so sorry that im commenting so much but I dont know how to mod at all and I cant find anybody who dose mods like you and I really wish I really want everything u have ITS ALL JUST SO COOL lol but anyways if you can I would love either a shoulder cannon the scorpion or a modded stryfe full ato maybe???

This is certainly one of those videos you never knew you needed until you actually watch it...
Good show as always, Sir!
I spy a new spring thunder in the arnsenal! Nicely done, cap. Bangarang!
I was going to message you and ask if you got my package but now I can see that you did.
Captain

I think "train" could be another auxiliary warcry
They do look like a train
An amazing video! Excited to see you tomorrow to see how the missions are handled!

@@dexterthekitteh well JENB4 was on the day after last year
Pre-event loadouts and pre-event drills ahoy! So very necessary to help facilitate an enjoyable event for all.
Thank you for the advice, Sir!
_Look here, we have 4 months until Endwar. I don't plan to worry yet. Stop triggering my PTSD from 2017 and 2018_

Will there be auxiliary standard issue mod videos? Like for the stryfle etc.
Yes

Rumor is they do...but best to come prepared.
You blathered just about the right amount.
Every single war I say it, Preping your gear before a war, the most important step to remain on top as a player.
Curious, what kinds of lubricants should I get if I use springers?
Stuff that does not damage rubber

Just wanted y'all to know that this weekend I essentially bought most of a whiteout longstrike for less than $5
Goodwill is a gift from god
And that is why springers are awesome. Nothing can stop them!
Have you see the new MotoStryke that's coming out later this year? It's gonna be a game changer!
Excellent and very important video.
On an unrelated note, I'm happy to see the bullpup Retaliator is still around.
I love videos like this, especially as I am forming a foam-flinging club. Thank you sor 🙏
That springthunder is cool looking.
Awesome video. Very informative and useful.
You should make a mount for an umbrella on your vest! It would make shore you don't have to fuss about with a flappy poncho!
I love your half dart pistol and you and your group/crew
Good things to know. Good luck at OSU, BANGARANG!
I'll see you there, Captain
Guarantee you that everyone in the comment is looking fly and so are you
Enjoyable video as always Captain. I wondered, do you try to put some kind of identifier on your socks, foam brains, etc to try to aid in getting them back?
Nope. I consider all ammo expendable.
see you there
lord, he has a lot of hammer shots

What vest do you use
I hav the same orange ammo box that you have
What shotgun is that in the back? It looks really cool 😎
The spring thunder?
Jaret Turner thanks
When did you get that shoot gun blaster
i rock with a homemade pump action retaliator using an iron rod and epoxy
Ello comrades and Hello captain Great video.
Spoooon
Blaster next to joltburn?
what is the shotgun-looking thing on the wall under the stryfes
Its a spring thunder
What is that blaster sitting above the Talonclaw? I don't think i have seen it before
Nerf Demon it’s a spring thunder. It’s awesome check it out
@@Boomstickmods ok. The side panel just in front of the trigger looked different from what i normally see on the spring thunder and it thru me off

Hi, is that a spring thunder on your wall, or is it a shotgun converted Magnus?
Spring Thunder.
@@CaptainXavier very nice
Hey cap, Are those holsters custom or where can you buy em?
The Hammershot holsters are from 3d Printed Solid. The Stryfe holster is custom.
@@CaptainXavier is that a micro hammershot holster and where might i find one?
@@moyamaximillian yes and...the internet?
Man I wish I had the money to do this stuff I have around 10 stock nerf blasters and they are pretty old, but I could never afford any of those fancy kits but I bet it would be cool to have!
Hay cap what would be a blaster that yo really want?
I'd really like a half-track mounted Rival mingun.

At 2:43 I thought that he meant baby socks as in just really tiny socks, and not socks for literal babies. I have no idea why.

@@ShinKyuubi you're probably right, and yes, it was about midnight when I wrote that. Good morning and good night. [De-consciousifies]
I mean- you really weren’t far off :P
Can you link me somewhere to get a great tacticool vest for bigger guys? I'm about your size cap and cant find anything that fits right
Condor has larger sizes I believe. And most are adjustable. Worst case you can extend the straps to make them fit.
Are middle schoolers or high schools allowed at places like wsu?
Depends on the game. Some allow kids. Most don't
@@CaptainXavier Ok thank you.
Cool
OH SHIT
I live in oregon I didn't know there was gonna be an hvz
So when is the next HVZ at WSU?
Ps how much for commissions?
Not Twitchy he has a video on how he prices commissions. It’s something like cost of blaster(s) and parts x 2
@@darrenvoong9013 thx m8
and one more thing im so sorry that im commenting so much but I dont know how to mod at all and I cant find anybody who dose mods like you and I really wish I really want everything u have ITS ALL JUST SO COOL lol but anyways if you can I would love either a shoulder cannon the scorpion or a modded stryfe full ato maybe???
i can hear the rain
its nice
Wholesome. This is good.
ASMR goodness all around.
How do you find HVZ clubs
The internet. Most clubs have either facebook pages or websites.
where can u play these games and how old do u have to be
All over the place and age limits vary from event to event. Some allow minors if accompanied by an adult, some do not.
@@CaptainXavier oh cool thanks and one more thing how much would it cost for a painted full ato dimolisher?
Depends who you get to do it. First step is finding someone taking commissions (hint: I am not)
@@CaptainXavier ohhhhh ya the vid where you said you were taking commissions was from 2016 im dumb sorry
and sorry that this is so late some how I just found you

Hi
Not to sound weird but are you like Greece or Romanian
Not that I know of...why?
@@CaptainXavier just wondering because Auxiliary sounds foreign
Auxiliary is a Latin root word but it is an English word.
aux·il·ia·ry
adjective
providing supplementary or additional help and support.
@@CaptainXavier ah ok I was wondering why it sounded like a it was from a different country
@@notfeedynotlazy uh wat?
What does all the colleges listed have a W
