Dude the slot drilling was absolute genius. It's a perfect example of not having the "correct" tools for the job but still doing it correctly. Also that one drill bit was huge. Massive even.
Really clever way of making the slot, using those dowels. Goldilocks drill bit. Not too big, not to small. Just right. This is a really elegent design for a pump action musket. Kirky truly is an inspiration to us all!
@@1224chrisng are you saying you cant do wonderful things with an average to slightly smaller than average drill bit? for example you could drill a hole with an average to slighly smaller than average diameter
Man, the quality of your blasters has really gone up. This is an impressive build that I could totally see being sold to customers, maybe with a different trigger mounting than those clamps. Nice work!
I remember when custom nerf blasters looked like this: jank pvc and wood with hardware from Home Depot, clothe pins, and such. It’s kind of endearing seeing it again. I never built one, but I remember looking up write ups for rainbow pistols and other homemade designs.
ive never seen someone use this concept before and i really love it. i hope this becomes more popular for future 3d printed blasters as i think it has some real potential for high performance if used correctly.
I always thought that a dope idea for a Rival blaster would be something like a Prometheus, but with a large funnel attached to the top so that you can catch other people’s darts and fire them back at them
The Slot drilling Technique is so ahead of what I learned in Tech scholarship. Wow. I learned that "every second hole" back then also. Another Easy Way would be a combidrillbit with Milling teeth at the side or a milling bit. The Blaster is 👍
That project is a lesson in design. The way you chose every solution so it is simple yet reliable, while not being complex to manufacture is telling of the talent employed.
from start to finish that is a really well thought out design and build, and how transparent of you to give all the details, pun intended, keep on the good work, cheers
Love everything about this, such an elegant design, and that catch/ trigger mech may be just what I need to get my homemade pistol project to work, after I’d kind of abandoned it a few years back
That's a pretty sick build to be fair. Nice job... Wish more people would do this kind of old skool modding/blaster builds, rather than just 3d print everything
Wow. Just wow. This project was so fun to watch as everything comes together perfectly It’s the enjoyment of the project going perfectly from the start that we all wish for that we get from this, though I’m sure there were some hiccups and challenges Keep the great content coming!
gotta say, your incredible sense of humor is a good change of pace from some other crafting videos ive seen. very engaging. and funny. especially the sex jokes
Seeing you drill in lieu of having a mill is intensely relatable. Using the dowels is clever, I probably would have continued trying to drill between the spaces without support lmao.
the smaller the drill bit the better. less work required to get a clean hole, and easier to handle in the chuck. not to mention i love the noises machinists make when i tease them about the size :P
superbly crafted, a beautiful idea, and there was no part of this video that did not have me accidentally breathing in toast crumbs - you will hear from my lawyer.
Biggest drill bit I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a few. Sometimes I wonder how guys with huge drill bits like that ever make it fit, I guess they need a lot of cutting fluid 😂
Id absolutely pay for one of these blasters. I love all the techniques you used! That ball bearing catch is brilliant! Next you just need to make it into an RSCB so you dont need to reload from the front or something. Cant wait to see what else you make.
@@mattie_y hmm, i mean on the one hand if its just two ayyy shottie, on the hand of accuracy hmm... What about a lil relief valve of sorts using a pinhole where the next dart needs to stop, like the dart covers the hole when its seated in the rscb but when its pulled into the chamber it pulls that next dart but the pinhole stops the dart because suction?? Im very unsure. Maybe you could have an O-ring in there to stop the next dart? Ive seen people usually use a change of inner diameter to slightly smaller just enough to stop the next dart.
A little tip about drilling plastic: use slow drill speeds and a sharp bit. If you use a speed that's too fast or a dull bit you will melt the plastic leaving burs that are much harder to remove.
awesome concept :) not experienced in 3dp nerf but that trigger mechanism is mind blowing FYI deburrer and center punch would make your life a lot easier, both of them are pretty affordable
I leave for a few months and this man has optimized muzzle-loading firearms so much they load themselves. He created a self-loading musket. I'm in shock.
You should make this using rival and maybe a slightly flared barrel tip so that you don't have to be as precise and you might even be able to suck them off the ground.
Looks very good and it is high quality, you could 3d print the stock too and eventually a magazine feeding system and further develop it into a pump action nerf blaster, very good, been here since your first video and the quality has gone much further
Wiha is a great screwdriver brand. I've had my first ones for almost 10 years and they still work just as good after being used daily for about 7 of those years.
Amazing job! Have you considered printing a pressure valve that releases all the pressure from the spring at the same time? Like measuring how much pressure the spring generates just before touching the female part, then the valve opens exactly at that moment, letting through a much more pressurized air
We need a “Storytime with Matt Yuan” at some point, with him just talking about bringing these crazy contraptions of his to events. Secondly, we need a build kit on Out Of Darts or something for all of the Matt Yuan originals, because who wouldn’t like to plant a dart on someone’s forehead with a Kirby blaster?

So big I'm actually really jealous so I'ma go steal it from him

this is actually a good quality single shot blaster
Using a ball bearing as a catch is clean
Though the same thing!
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE make these files public. Thats the coolest ducking blaster I have ever seen.
Agreed, this is a really good design.
the part where you lined up the hammer hits with the beats of the song was great! i didn't even notice the music sneaking up on me till then
That drill bit probably has a good personality

Now you could make the opposite of a bullpup where the magazine is as far to the front of the blaster as possible
lmao
I'm absolutely amazed by the number of clever solutions in this build! You seem to effortlessly solve problems that would have me pulling my hair out!
The dowel trick was lowkey crazy. This whole build was just so ingenious, congrats man. P.s. you have great taste in watches
ive never seen someone use this concept before and i really love it. i hope this becomes more popular for future 3d printed blasters as i think it has some real potential for high performance if used correctly.
Awesome to see some designs in the style of old homemades, especially such unique ones. Would love to see the design released.
That trick with the wooden dowels was big brain time
The air volume on the blaster looks insane!
holy shit this feels like you genuinely studied airgun and gun design for this, great work.
I like how the grips were literally just Magpul, gives it a parts bin vibe that I dig. Your builds are rad!
A practical front loading blaster

Dude 16 year old me would have caused havoc in my town if I had watched your videos back then, glad to see nerf is still around and an active hobby

always love to see the guts of a mechanism

I particularly loved your explanations on this video. My favorite one so far!
I felt that line about "tools to buy when I'm rich" I'm constantly having to get creative when I make stuff.
Matt went from making a dangerous foam pistol to making whole pressure systems. Impressive.
holy shit this blastes looks insane, it seems like a very well and precise build, in order to has that effect, you problaby had to make miracle
Love everything about this, such an elegant design, and that catch/ trigger mech may be just what I need to get my homemade pistol project to work, after I’d kind of abandoned it a few years back
Personally I like the smaller drill bits, but you gotta be very careful with them. They snap very easily!
What do you mean small that thing was huge
NGL, I was fully expecting a vacuum blaster that just sucks darts out of the air, but this is much cooler!
The rnb song choice at 6:00 when the male and female ends connected safely using the rubber gasket was smooth

Actually a pretty cool way of using the vacuum to get the dart seated all the way back. Usually we just feed the dart at the back a coupler
Glad to see another nice design!
Very clever! Plus bonus points for kirb
you know the blaster is powerful when you cant see the dart flying
This guy is so underrated
quality vid and great craftsmanship
innovative use of vacuum loading
Your drill bit is huge! My drill bit may not be especially big, but can become mighty useful when you need to drill little pin hiles
Imagine connecting the dart and the blaster with a string, you could have infinite ammo with this
More genius and somehow satisfying then I thought it will be xD

Excellent invention. Only thing missing was a diagram explanation in the beginning before the manufacturing.
Try building a blaster that has a second spring that pushes on the stock for simulated recoil.
Amazing job! Have you considered printing a pressure valve that releases all the pressure from the spring at the same time? Like measuring how much pressure the spring generates just before touching the female part, then the valve opens exactly at that moment, letting through a much more pressurized air

I like every size of bit, but only if used with exacting precision.
