I'm just waiting for someone to attach a motor and a gearing system to the pusher of that flywheel core after it's been modded. Make it shoot like 30 darts a second lol.
I always thought K’Nex was such a cool convergence of the “creative” and blaster world. It’s like the fun of legos but you can go tagging with your build when you’re done.
It's definitely more toy than performer...and yet still keeps up if not exceeds NERF most of the time in terms of performance. Had I had this when I was young it would have been my favorite toy ever.
Speaking of Convergence, that would be a pretty decent platform to make a Plasma Cutter. Even better, one could build a shell around the “skeleton” to make ANY nerf gun
@@WalcomS7 it's not hard to overcome the mass appeal/casual approach performance from Hasbro these days. They should definitely tap into the enthusiast market with a dedicated pro line of foam dart blasters, but that's another topic for another day. I'm happy with the resurgence of these K'Nex toys and the fact the company is pushing this crossover. Great review 🔥
This would make Greg Renko very happy. His shorts about COD, or any other game that uses firearms would be much easier because he could take less time trying to make the grip, and just use these peices, and they look much cooler(even though you don't usually see the grip in his shorts. I love Greg's vids so much, he's a great youtuber).
This makes me miss my K'Nex so much - I love the endless possibilities. Plus you could just 3D print a custom piece if something isn't working out quite right.
this is the most unique blaster on the market. you can literally make ANYTHING you want, which means if you buy this and play with friends, then you and your friends will have a bunch of different results that fit them. i would honestly buy multiple of these if i could
Those are pretty nifty. I bet the 'core' pieces could be modified pretty easily to take beefier motors. I can see a lot of uses for this both as its own stand-alone thing and as a way to rapidly prototype other blaster project ideas.
I love this! It’s a change from normal Nerfed Nerf, the uber Dart Zone blasters, & all of the custom beasts out there. Definitely a place in the market for this.
A long time ago Coop built a double barreled pistol that sort of looks almost like a Cortosis Battle Droid's hand (i.e the barrels were side by side, but spaced kinda far apart) And I still want to get the sets to make that possible
I'd say a 2 or 3 day event. For the 2 day, day 1 is build and test, day 2 is the actual war. The 3 day sounds more interesting though, where day 1 everyone gets the most basic of kits then goes out to scavenge other kits to add to their blaster, day 2 is build and test with what you found, day 3 is the actual war.
Even though this was just a chintzy 10 minute commercial, I want to love it! If I was into K'nex like I was into Lego for 40 years, I probably would. Curious about the aftermarket modding capability now, if it can take better motors & batteries and what kind of shells can be made with K'nex. I'm worried all the shell designs will be skeletonized, but maybe it can make some techno-organic looking stuff. Cronenberg variants like the gristle gun but with plastic levers and gears and bars.
Hey walcom, just to say, you are really inspiring for me and your reviews are a big influence on my purchases on blasters, hope 1 day I can be as cool and popular as you
Omg ... At 5:37 ... Was that a Jörg Sprave-imitation, or just coincidence? 😂 I know him, because he is from Germany like me, but is he famous in the USA? 😅
There are knock off Lego blasters that are pretty cool as plinkers or stringers. Also there are plenty of online blogs creating blasters out of Lego parts.
This would really help me to get a chance to finally build a K'nex NERF version of the Bastard gun from Metro 2033, Last light and Exodus games. Or maybe Dead Space 3 crazy weapons combo. Who knows, even a wrist mounted blaster. Hopefully I can order one for my B-day.
As uncomfortable AF as K'Nex were as helmets and BodyArmor when young me repeatedly built them, and tried to keep my EyeBalls intact long enough for an InstantPoleroid... I would still try to make a CrotchGun mounted around my waist, with these.
Would you do a vid/slight mod guide on the hyper mach 100 with the dimpled 50 cal balls? They feed through mine beautifully and nevery jam. The one downside is the door that normally is the perfect width to stop hyper balls from hitting the flywheels before you pull the trigger is not wide enough to stop the 50 cal balls, so as soon as I rev, this thing spews the few balls that escaped into the flywheep cage. I think it would be a worthwhile vid
These make me wish I still had my old Cyber Knex stuff. Giving all my autonomous robots mag fed flywheel blasters, bwaha. At least it did come with three mini springer dart launchers
i think the idea is good they just need to make the design of the moter way simpler, instead of basically a premade blaster you can modify, give use just a motor and then tubes and gears and belts and let us create the entire gun (i really just wanna make like an MP-40 or and MG-42 but the mechanism looks big and clunky)
8:39 in vid Knex mechwarrior was a thingabout 20 years ago i personaly only liked the dark series 4 (fire mech / catapult / converted construction mech) those have parts that last but you can barely find them anymore (i got construction mech and the catapult mech compleet). firebug almost 2x compleet missing rear panel jetpacks. stil looking for it. P.s i might consider scanning the parts of these mech or dowing a custom overhaul once i get time for that. But yes they are kinda forgotten in 2023. Also ather downside to most of the mechwarrior sets before dark age 4 is that most of them hard cardboard art on them. so a lot of these sets basicialy turned to dust or got torn apart or stuf whent missing or got destroyed. (it would be cool if somebody had time to make proper 3D printed parts for the old mechwarrior / cardboard) but its probaly gone cost a lot of effort + manuals and instructions are scares ive been trying to collect information on the subject. ---- p.s im unsure if my idea's are workenbale im gone start a new job next month.
Pretty sure that's why it has those finger grooves on them. I tried to add a foregrio but there was definitely a point I had spent too much time on this lol.
Thanks again to K'Nex for sponsoring this video!

Nice StormBolter! It's almost as good as Drac's.

And a pretty cool alternative to Lego😎

Renko is great. He's been making Knex blasters for ages lol.
He would probally love it tbh
Ya know what would be cool? If Greg Renko made a how-to video on how to make his K'Nex "guns"
Thank you for the Jörg Sprave quote in there Walcom, thank you
Something interesting to see would be modding the cages to be able to multi-stage them for higher fps
This makes me miss my K'Nex so much - I love the endless possibilities. Plus you could just 3D print a custom piece if something isn't working out quite right.
Thank you for the “let me show you its features!” I also watch Joerg Sprave.

I appreciate the Joergsprave reference. Made me smile!
So glad you came back to these! I built a bullpup design with a couple of the sets.
Loved the Joerg Sprave reference
I think we're going to see an increase in turrets with all of the K'Nex masters out there.
His custom blast is just a 40k storm bolter
And I love it
I've played around with K'Nex before. It's entirely possible to make this full-auto.

a literal "build your own blaster" toy, now that is awesome
Hey walcom, just to say, you are really inspiring for me and your reviews are a big influence on my purchases on blasters, hope 1 day I can be as cool and popular as you
That looks SO much like a skeletal Storm Bolter from Warhammer 40k and i LOVE it!
These sets really epitomise kid friendly prototyping Jank blasters done primarily for fun over performance
These are legit cool, loved mine. I really need to mod mine haha.
Nice Joerg Sprave nod there.
Only the best.
As a fan of building bricks (ex: Lego) and occasionally blasters (ex: Darts) this line is right up my alley
Omg ... At 5:37 ... Was that a Jörg Sprave-imitation, or just coincidence? 😂
I know him, because he is from Germany like me, but is he famous in the USA? 😅
Super cool, we have all the parts you need! Thanks for sharing!
Cool! Lego should dip there toes into the foam flinging market
That would be expensive...
There are knock off Lego blasters that are pretty cool as plinkers or stringers. Also there are plenty of online blogs creating blasters out of Lego parts.
@@lon6boardlord I made something like that but it shot a rubber band
@@RetroFoamStudios ha good point

Damn the editing, dude. Great as always. How long does post production take you?
Wellcome to the forge
Man you know it's real crazy when you start making nerf stens and greaseguns
5:36 OMG, a Joerg Sprave fan (Slingshot Channel). Awesome.
Awesome
ngl this thing is a hvs god walkcom really made a killing machine
wow this is a cool system
Oh now that just gives me all kinds of ideas for some Frankenstein that screams overkill
"The Emperor provides, the Emperor K'Nex."
I had no idea that there was MechWarrior K'nex!!! I must have it! (I built a Madcat/Timberwolf out of Lego once BTW)
Build your own blaster!
Walcom: alright bet!
*_MAKES A FREAKIN K'NEX VILLAR PAROSA!_*
😅😆😎👌🏻 absolutely sick, man!
Joerg would be proud, though it’s not made of plywood and rubber
glad you noticed too xD
Man this looks awesome! Next we need a Lego one xD
btw love the Slingshot Channel reference B)
Thats not a Slingshot Walcom!
Dat "JoergSprave" quote, tho... 😂😂😂

This looks like the new double-barrelled thing elite 2.0 is gonna release
U da best

Never* flywheel*
for those wondering about the music, it’s from jojo all star battle, at least the first two

That's nice bro 👍 I like your videos .
The thumbnail kinda reminds me of the quake nailgun
i got one of these a while a go and made it into a bullpup with a safety switch.
@5:38
...I wonder if Joerg has made a Nerf slingshot?
That looks like something out of doom.
IT'S TIME FOR TAG.....?? no
IT'S TIME FOR K'NEX CYBER WARS!!!!!!!!!
now thats cool
What is that monstrosity! 😳
Omg you made a double punch
Time to make some 2 bandit-faction type guns (maximum clip)

Something about that thing screams Ghostbusters to me
I'd just use the magazine as a handle like an OG-43 and call it a day lol
Pretty sure that's why it has those finger grooves on them. I tried to add a foregrio but there was definitely a point I had spent too much time on this lol.
Maybe lay 4 cores flat on top an next to each other, mags sticking out the sides, for some true shotgunning!
Sick!
Does knex have RC cars? Could you make an RC tank shooting darts out of knex?
Do the new Nerf guns crossover with Dungeons & Dragons
I love knex lol
But are the darts and magazines standard size?
ChimeraTech Over Dragon.
We all knew what would come after "and this is what I came up with". Gosh, we're nerds. Where the laugh at tho
Who’s here from the discord announcement?
Cool I guess
Where's the FTW FWC made to fit the K'nex fittings?.?
Let me at it!
did he just reference that German guy that makes crossbows??? at 5:43
Someone is watching naughty German streams... LOL
I don't know
Stormbolter?
did he say part 3?
lego nerf guns when?
Deleter MkII
They don't take nerf mags sadly
it's a semi auto deleter
Knex n sheet
Nerf stole your design!
Fortnite K'Nex vZ 2030 mark my words
Knex deleter
Haha I was the 100th like
So.. This video is just an advertisement?
So?
no, it’s a sponsorship

Nice neck beard.
Time to build a turret...
