Does the worker talon mag adaptor come with the blaster? If not where did you get the adaptor?
The shell prevents the foam from squishing while loaded in the mag, which makes the blaster very consistent and accurate.
I just realized that's the root of the problem. Thank you for this wake up call! I kept blaming the mechanism seal and plunger tube seals. You're 100% on point!
The shells are good for consistent fps and it stops the darts from getting damaged
As a leftie the swappable bolt is great.
Lefties are the demons of Babylon disguised under the veil of righteousness
I’m a rightie but I totally dig ambi blasters like this. 👍🏻
great review! Noticed the low standard deviation in our testing too! Really really impressive result from this blaster.
I was surprised the shell ejecting config was so consistent considering its basically shooting from one very short barrel into a longer barrel
I can't lie, this is one of the first blaster reviews where I actually watched through the whole of the chrono test. The results are just absolutely astounding. Keep it up Brad!
Also, would it be possible if we could get a vid of the accessories you use? As in the best the tac gear you use on a game to game basis?
I think tac gear is more of a personal preference thing, glad you liked the chrono testing.
I recently got my Kirin and I love it, super consistent Chrono numbers like in the video.

this sniper is immaculate, great review. iv'e been anticipating a look at the talon kit.
Loving my Kirin. Just got the Talon kit. Not sure if I want to keep it since I have 10 rd. Flypoint mags, that shell clink on the floor 🤌
I appreciate the thorough review. Thanks, Bradley.
Side note, you can easily unprime the blaster by firing it while holding the bolt back
Thought that was common knowledge lol
I was hoping I'd finally convert you to shells, but I'll take a glowing review instead
With enough of them and a net attachment I could make them serviceable, but magazines are definitely my preference!
@@BradleyPhillipsYT the right loadout and setup can get them very competitive, but it's definitely not without some trade offs like low capacity
Another quality review, can't wait to see your next review on the harrier
Amazing Video. Please do more gameplay videos.
Of course, there's not many people doing them so I always try to in every review
Was waiting for this review. Great vid. What an outstanding blaster. I love the look
Beautiful footage
Another point is this isn't a sample version but the production version currently sold
I doubt the metal plunger tube makes that much difference, if you want and fps boost I'd suggest trying Worker Bamboo darts
I love my Kirin, and usually run it with shells haha
Do you find that you lose shells or that people step on and break the shells?
@@BradleyPhillipsYT Yes, both, although they don't get broken very often. Mostly they get mixed in with the unsorted darts and I have to go through and find all of them. I also had some weird issues with the injection molded shells that came with my Kirin so I only use my 3D printed ones.
Have you modded your Kirin?
@@0oDUBLINo0 I have a couple extra springs for it, but other than that no. I currently don't have a talon adapter for it either
@@legoboy-ox2kx right on. So you would recommend it then?
Cool blaster, but my vote still goes to the harrier. When are we gonna see that review, Brad?? 🙏
Next weekend, same time
@@BradleyPhillipsYT Can't wait! Love your videos, dude!
glad I didn't impulse buy the Baise so I could impulse buy this.
Interesting point of review is I didn't get a metal plunger tube from my kit from frontline foam n apparently seems to be a totential reason of mine hitting less good review
Nice review as always... It seems a great blaster for sniping..
And anyways can you review the XYL unicorn blaster?..
Yeah I have one of those on the way soon
Imagine that 50 cal balls
You could load them into the shells, but 50cal rubber balls are far less accurate and have less range.
I'm glad I clicked, any blaster that has shells is not my preference. I can't be bothered with picking them up, printing or buying new shells after they get stepped on in a game. But because it was you I thought " what the hell". I didn't realise that there was an option to convert to mags. I have seen this blaster around for a while but never been interested, the makers/distributers should promote that aspect for those of us that don't want shells. SO the prime wasn't too hard with the highest spring? I'm seriously looking at this now as a possible buy - thanks.
The prime wasn't bad at all, I think the talon adapting kit was an afterthought that only came out recently which would explain the lack of promotion
Bradley when you reviewing the Worker Harrier…. Been dying to see you use that
Next weekend, same time
How do you take the extractor out of the bolt and switch it over? I need to do that but i cant figure out how to actually move it. I've unscrewed the bolt from the outer piece and the extractor gets stuck before I can remove the bolt entirely
Me to!
Great video as always I love your content, when do you think we will get the harrier review
Next weekend, same time
@16:56 definately not me waiting to blow myself up with a claymore and taking innocent players with me heheheh
This was from a few weeks ago so I think the claymore would be if you are featured in next week's video about the Worker Harrier.
Pull the bolt all the way down and push down is the hard lock for this blaster.
The plunger head on mine split into two pieces on mine after about 100 shots, no dry fires really a bad design with plastic head and steel shaft. That's a 3 piece plunger. Got it from shellington I've contacted them no answer yet.
I use the aluminum plunger tube i bought extra, it works wonder with the high-powered spring, over 1000 shot now without any issues
The kirin is an awsom blaster (Bolt Action Sniper)
I got this blaster a few days ago with the 2.2 spring, but I couldn’t prime it with one hand. The priming was noticing my heavier with the 2.2 spring.
I wonder if you installed the sled correctly, if it's not sitting in the channels properly it would be a very difficult prime indeed.
@@BradleyPhillipsYT just converted my kirin into worker talon mag accepting. And I found the priming of the 2.2 spring to be a bit easier compared to shell ejecting. Also I was able to deprime the blaster fine by pulling the trigger and the priming handle .
I know it shouldn't matter but I'm annoyed your upgrade came with a metal plunger tube and mine didn't lol where did you get yours? Mine was blastertech
Mine came from Phantom Toys
Can't seem to find a seller of the Talon kit that includes a metal plunger.
Should be the same performance as the plastic one. I'm not sure why they sent a metal one with mine if that's the case
@@BradleyPhillipsYT Shiny and sturdy. And shiny.
I feel like this blaster is under priced even for being expensive, for me in the us, FF sells this for 210 usd, the 3d printed wrenfield is 180 usd, so in a weird way, I feel like it’s underpriced
Wait until you compare the price of the Harrier against the Talonclaw T4
Oh you can forgo using the shells and straight to the darts? Ok I kinda want one now.
Yeah I probably wouldn't have used it otherwise 😂
Great video!
Any reason you didnt try the heaviest spring and long barrel with the shell ejection?
I wouldve loved to know if the shell ejecting plungertube makes an fps difference compared to the "normal" one with skinnypusher.
It's not recommended to use the 2.2 spring with plastic parts of the shell ejecting kit. The talon adaptor kit uses aluminium parts.
@@BradleyPhillipsYT
Ah sure, but the talon kit doesnt come with an aluminium plunger though does it? So the plunger itself is still just plastic.
From my understanding the plunger itself is what potentialy breaks with the heavier spring. For example frontlinefoam had their plunger snap after extended use of the heaviest spring. So if only the plungertube and pusher are aluminium that would mean the strongest spring would still be risky to use regardles of which plungertube you would use. Though i guess it might be *more* risky with all plastic?
Edit: in case anyone else interested in this topic is reading this, I did some more research and: Frontlinefoam, who snapped their plungerhead in half by extended use at 300 fps, has designed a new 3d printed plungerhead which is supposed to be more sturdy. That seems to be the most important replacement when tuning this thing around 300fps.
It's the metal bolt arm and metal pusher. The plunger rod is still plastic on mine.
Hey Bradley, I know you ordered from Phantom but as I am in the US. I will be having to go through Shellington themselves. If I just wanted to buy it for recreational target shooting. Is there any reason I would need the extended barrel, 300 FPS spring, or upgraded aluminum ejector? I am mainly concerned about a consistent shot from the ejectable half dart shell. I also do not want to have the rifle breaking down from excessive use. Not sure if the stronger spring would wear it down quicker. Appreciate any insight you or anyone else has thanks mate.
Saw in one of the comments 300 FPS or 2.2 spring seems to be overkill. Think I would be safer with the standard 2.0 spring that comes with the rifle. As the comment talked about breaking the plunger potentially.
what barrel did you used,and from where did you got it?
ooooooooooooooh
Hey brad do you know long it’ll take for zhenduo toys to send you your blaster? (Nice videos btw)
A couple of weeks usually
Ok thanks brad cause it’s been 2 months so I’ve just been wondering
@@user-kx9eg1jt8g I'd guess it's probably been seized by customs then
Oh ok will I get the money back then?
And how long does it take for the money to be back in your card? Thanks
hey , where'd you get these parts?
very coolio
Bradley could you make a video about scopes and red dots?
I have a couple of scope related videos you might find interesting. Here's one of them: ruclips.net/video/CU0xwqxWLyk/видео.html
@@BradleyPhillipsYT Cool! name of the scope you use on this Kirin!?
@@youtuber-452 I used a red dot *sight on here called the HS506 from Holosun
Aw man I'm in the philippines
question about the talon mag adaptor. Is the magazine latch supposed to work while it's installed? I can see the adaptor has a lever that should interact with the blaster's mag release but it seems to be in the wrong way? the magazines are a super tight fit into the adaptor and the adaptor itself is also really tight fit into the blaster so can't remove it.
I couldn't get it to function aside from friction fitting the talon mags
@@BradleyPhillipsYT yeah that seems to be the go. Holds it solid enough anyway
Having used both Would you prefer this or a worker harrier in a 300 fps sniper mode?
Harrier, pump action is far more practical
@@BradleyPhillipsYT Thanks, what if you used the side charging handle on the harrier instead of the pump grip?
review the worker Harrier pls
Video next weekend
Does the mag release still work with the kit? Or you just yank the angled talon out?
You just pull the mag out like the original first talon mags
@@BradleyPhillipsYT Ahh, so it basically nullifies the mag release? Not quite a fan of that, just yanking it out :/
3:26 I'm really hating the discrimination lately. I come in peace.
What is the scar barrel thing?
When harrier :)
Video next weekend!
Yippee e
This actually makes me want to get it, would it be worth it if the spot i could use it would be easy to lose darts?
Darts aren't that expensive, but it depends how many you would go through in a day.
@@BradleyPhillipsYT probably lose about 20 max?
@@pulsar7980 however many you fire I'd estimate losing at least 10%
FIRST COMMENT. nice blaster.
What optic are you using
This is a Holosun HS506. But you could easily use a $20 red dot from eBay/Amazon/AliExpress
@@BradleyPhillipsYTthanks mate. just a quick question if you don’t mind I bought this blaster recently and opened it up to put in the 2.2 spring. It was way too hard to prime with one hand so I put the original spring back but it seems that the blaster has lost a lot of its original power with the same spring. Any ideas?
@@joshabcdefg1233 had the same problem, but somehow when I converted it to take talon mags the 2.2 spring priming became easy enough to prime with one hand
The metal parts like the bolt arm probably make it easier to prime
@@BradleyPhillipsYT any ideas about why it’s less powerful for me
It's junk
