REVIEW: Mega XL Boom Dozer (ft. Shotgun Cylinder Mod)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- Not to dwell too long on this, but Hasbro hasn't exactly been up to par with their latest releases. However, this blaster seems to be one of the exceptions.
Christening the new Mega XL line, The Boom Dozer is a six-shot cylinder-fed blaster with slamfire, shooting the largest dart ever. If Mega is like Hot Dogs (as Adrianna of FoamBlast would say), Mega XL is Bratwurst. I'm surprised at its efficacy; and apart from a couple of joints, It's easy to take apart... And that's where the fun really begins.

![[REVIEW] Chinese Foam Flinging Shotgun w/ Shell Ejection | GARBAGE!](/img/1.gif)
Great video! Odd that you're having issues with slam fire. I haven't experienced any of that with mine. Judging by how it's failing it looks like the locking piece that interfaces with the back of the cylinder isn't engaging properly. I'm glad you like my shotgun cylinder designs although you should've told me you didn't like the sharp edges! I could've fixed that for you. I just kept them in because I wanted it to be as easy as possible to manually rotate. As for the new ammo type i definitely think it should replace rockets.
I think mega xl could fill some of those roles that a rocket does but the rockets should still be viable but mega XL should out class it
If you developed a shotgun cylinder for BoomCo ammo, would it be called the BoomCozer?
HELLO!
Coop772 also had issues with the slam fire. I believe it may be a similar issue to the doomlands The Judge. The cylinder was so big and therefore heavy, that it skipped darts sometimes. (This may not be the case, there is a noticable size descrepancy)
Imo rockets should either be buffed and have XL replace their role, or squeeze in a spot for the XL between Mega and rockets
Fun fact: "Chicken" (the one who developed the Boomdozer shotgun cylinder) is actually part of my local war group.
@@Nintenja889 Actually, the Chicken from SENC is FlyingChicken, this is a different group from Canada
@@nerfspartanEBF25 cool to see Canadian nerfers, I'm in BC trying to get my buddies and kids involved, so far I'm just blasting at my daughter as she runs through the yard
@@JohnJames. What part of BC are you from?
@@nerfspartanEBF25 lower mainland, mission
@@JohnJames. I have family from the area, though I live much further away!
I love how everyones just printing more and more now.
In the end, all I have to say is Brett needs to revisit food-based artillery with the Boom Dozer in mind...
100% agreement
Oh no, not again…..
Indeed.
@@fancy4468 Oh YES
Hope you Guys are working on a Barrel for the Proud Papa to fire the XLs
A singled half dart cylinder would be ridiculously impractical, but hilarious to see how much power the internals have. Also, these are definitely rockets!
The waffle is right in between the white rival blaster and the blue star wars blaster in the top left corner.
Hey! Nice catch. I actually forgot to move it from the last video we filmed (which hasn't been edited yet). Expect it to be in the same place in one of the next videos.
I REALLY appreciate the shot with the MXL between the Elite Missile (Demolisher Rocket) and the Mega Dart.
That is a much better size comparison visual than next to the Mega, Elite and Short Darts to me. Thank you
You're welcome!
I really enjoy the big rockets! I hope they make them without fins in the future since we value their size and power in different game modes. These mega XL will definitely be a class below, but seems better than regular mega. I give this a 3.5 :) Thanks for your review video, always clear and informative!
Ok good sir, with your recommendation as well as Dr. Flux, I shall buy this and have fun with it!
Need to update your shirt now, with all the new ammo types out now
Lol
You know a blaster is *truly* big when even Luke looks like a kid holding it, lol 😆
The full length cylinder sounds like the one I'd be most likely to buy, as it would fill in some of the massive hole left in the front of the blaster. Sadly, it looks like a large chunk of shell (one of the cylinder shrouds) would need to be chopped off to make Megalodon-style removable cylinders
That moment you brought out that shotgun mod I knew I needed to get one at some point.
I think a shield buster alternative is appropriate, maybe in some game specific specialty role it definitely shows a lot of potential like you said.
I know a bunch of us are definitely going to be looking for that spring upgrade, as well as a smaller front section to de-rez that muzzle will be a instant hit and something a lot of people will appreciate from this ridiculously large new blaster/ammo type!
finally a better judge.
Can't wait for more parts for this blaster!
Ran a game with this last weekend, one player started in the middle of the building, which was filled with Terminators. Terminators had swords stuck out (think Evil T-1000), and had to always walk. The human player started with a regular blaster and if they hit a Terminator it stopped them for 3 seconds. They had to stall and avoid the Terminators, find the MEGA XL, and then use that to destroy the Terminators. It was hilarious, got really stressful for the human, and I 100% agree about MEGA XL is going to be awesome if we find fun ways to use it.
OoD
That is a pretty neat blaster. Thanks for the fantastic review. Like the shotgun cylinder. Keep up the great work.
I'd really like to see a cylinder that has 6 triple inline clips that each hold 3 darts. That way you could have 54 darts loaded and fire 3 at a time consecutively 18 times. I think that being so large, this blaster is probably one of the only ones that has the plunger volume to do this and it would make a pretty effective blaster for CQB.
Thanks for this review guys, this is the first time I've seen an in-depth review with the internals of this blaster! 🧡💙🤍🧡
P.S. I think that the XL darts should be valued either the same as rockets, or they should replace rockets and bump rockets up to a new category.
I did use something like this
I'd love some inline clip shotgun cylinders!
I was thinking of this too, would be GREAT
that would be insane
insanely cool that is
Thumbnail is top tier
Thanks!
I can't wait to see a proud papa attachment. Then I think you'll see a LOT more of this ammo type being used in games.
Your Editing is Spot On!
I think megaXL should fill the role of shield buster/ killer since demolisher rockets aren't as common anymore. Keep mega as shield piercers
🍞🍞🍞
Hello!
I do look forwards to getting some of the fun options for this
Along with your Multi-Elite and Triple-Mega cylinders, I would also like to see a "Single-Mega" for High velocity.
I want to see which blaster in this line is best adapted to a sealed breech & good length of brass barrel. Such a big plunger tube should give really good performance with a single shot dart, without the need for a large spring.
It’s crazy how there’s already kits for the boomdozer
Great video. Awesome blaster for sure
id love to see a cylinder for The Judge that made use of that huge real estate. You could almost double the capacity. Even as is, a spring upgrade can make it doable especially with elite darts on the outer row and waffles on the inside.
The problem with slamfire is that it spins after trigger pull like disruptor, it should be like the surge fire upon firing
Just imagine when the jolt of this comes out.
I definitely see this as equivalent to Demolisher rockets rather than Mega. Volume in loadout, size of requisite blaster and effective ranges would seem close enough.
Instead of just a different cylinder, would it be possible to create removable large shells to insert in the existing cylinder?
That's a great idea, I hope someone makes it a reality! I would, but I I'm à noob with Cad software
FRED MEYER! Every time I hear that I think "I want to tell you a story
About the last time I was in Portland"
Imagine the shotgun cylinder but extended however far it can but it’s an inline clip giving you several times the 6x5 shot capacity
Perry with the save!
I made mine into a mega shotgun. I plan to remove the AR and as much dead space as possible. I ran into issues with older worn out mega darts. Those type of darts didn't get out of its chamber and caused a jam. I may need to put in a stronger spring too. I'd really like to make a masterkey that will support Mega XL.
I'm super excited and can not wait!
I like how on his shirt, there isn't an ultra dart. shows how much he doesn't like them!
I find that the white retaliatory stock fits it pretty well
Boom dozer feels like a sledge hammer that can shoot from the handle
Finally, a dart you can’t possibly lose
You just jinxed it.
if someone made some type of rail gun flywheel powered mag fed Mega XL Ammo sniper rifle then I would see some purpose for the ammo type other than a replacement for rockets but as the blasters nerf has released so far go I just see them as a better functioning version of the rockets. (Obviously the new ammo type has a lot of potential and I can’t wait to see what the modding community does with it.
Nice! Would like to see the MegaXL shells for the double crusher!
Hey, a 3D printed "smoother" piece for the big logo would actually be pretty rad.
It would be really cool to have a quick change barrel, especially if you can quickly change ammo type if needed.
I agree that Mega XL should be equal to rockets in terms of special ammo. Use them for special zombies/units and objectives depending on the game mode. Though from my experience splash damage tends to be hard to enforce due to the difficulty of determining if someone is in the radius of a projectile.
I'd like a full length cylinder sized for gluing in 17/32 brass. A cylinder 2 full sized darts long with 3, 9/16 chambers would let us make a 3 dart RSCB shotgun! A cylinder chambered for spring thunder shells would be cool. (Perhaps with a loading gate like the cartridge converted cap and ball revolvers of antiquity. )
I have a feeling several of these blasters and cylinders are in my future!
The boomdozer is basically the mega XL cyloneshock. I think it would be better without the goofy muzzle on the front obstructing the darts from making it out of the blaster. I really like it though
Let me be the first to point out that, now that Nerf has a new ammo type that’s actually cool and fun, I think out of darts needs to add Mega XL needs to be added to your stickers, tape, tee shirts, and other insignia.
Oh man very cool, you beat me to designing one!
Extra cool blaster very excited for this one.The Mega Xl darts are very cool. I think the slamfire didn't work because of the dart.
We found out that in slam-fire the darts can leave the cylinder enough to not get a good air seal, and a partially fired dart will jam the cylinder.
I think 4 dart would have been better for the shotgun cylinder. Both for getting more power, and more importantly a tighter grouping through that barrel. It's obvious from your footage that the 5 shot has a tendency for some of the darts to clip the inside of the muzzle which is making them tumble out, defeating the purpose .
Purpose wise should definitely be a shield breaker.
I wanted hasbro to make a rocket launcher line for nerf but this is nice 👍
I would love to see XL replace the rocket and the rocket be reassigned a NEW function....perhaps its function would be that if you're tagged with a rocket you have to immediately stick your arms out and spin around. Anyone you can reach by hand where you stand is also out. LOL!
That's a thought!
Street Sweeper shotgun. Looks nice. I am amazed all the darts are making it out the barrel from that far back.
Hasbro also shows a 10 pack of the Mega XL darts. Not sure if those have been released though. MSRP $9.99. So a buck a dart.
Seems like Hasbro might be using Mega XL to indirectly kill off demolisher rockets, or the mega missile as i believe they call it. Still, it might be for the best, seeing as how these darts appear to be more durable than the demolisher rockets. And they can be stored a lot easier than the rockets. The Fortnite GL is a prime comparison in that regard, same capacity, yet a whole lot wider than the Boomdozer. Also can't wait for the Proud Papa attachment for Mega XL darts
What I'd like is a way to let them use Trilogy shells in the revolver, and have them clip into it,
Can't wait for a mega xl jolt
im assuming the problem with slam fire is the cylinder rotation. the prime handle seems to shoot before the rotation is complete which causes the bullet to not be there in time to be launched
Gigantic revolver!
Hey luke! You know the Dart Zone Villianator? I was thinking, what if you made a drum that used half darts only? Would be cool, and it would make it look even more like a Thompson!
Awesome review! can you do a review on the worker swift as your next video?
Thanks for the video. I have to ask - have you ever seen an air blaster by whamo? About 40 years ago, my parents were friends with people whose kids had something I've never seen in any store. It had no ammo - just air. You could shoot what seemed like a ball of air and you could easily feel it from accross a decent sized room. I don't remember the actual name of the product. It was relatively small - one handed aiming. You pumped it from a lever on the top and it would then shoot the air - no CO2 cartridge.
Ok so hear me out mega xl version of the centurion would be completely impractical but I would still buy it
Imagine the size of the mag!
Bro someone needs to make a half dart singled brass breech for this because damn that plunger tube
You get a 👍up because you made me laugh about ultra darts thank you 🤣
Got one for $15 very excited
literally a nerf m32 rotary grenade launcher
also i think this ammo type should be treated like a 20mm grenade where it does big splash damage but within a very small area
8:28 No option for Rival rounds? That looks like it can fire 5 or 6 Rival rounds per shot.
This guy's always really thorough in his reviews. Even a little too critical sometimes I think which is why I'm shocked he didn't mention how uncomfortable the right side of the grip is. I really like this blaster and actually prefer to only play dart tag now with mega/XL darts for easier cleanup but I can't play for more than 10 or 15 mins bcuz the shell cutout above the right side of the grip juts out and digs into your hand which hurts your index finger. Stupid idiot whoever didn't make the shell symmetrical on both sides above the handle. Unless it's necessary for internal function. Idk, either way it sucks. But mega XL is great. Can't wait for XL megalodon.
I'd say it's comparable to the rocket's rule however wouldn't do area damage
Are you guys still considering doing the replacement barrel for this?
I kind of want to see what it'd look like
The slam fire does the same on my disrupter and slam fire was like the reason why I bought it perhaps a lemon
Question! What are the OD and ID measurements of the darts themselves? Do you feel that they would be better off with a barrel or a peg for homebrew designs?
OD=30mm, ID=19mm
The darts are tight enough for an air seal only at the back ⅔ of the cylinder, perhaps designed to limit drag. For community designers, I think the best thing to replicate the results would be to have a barrel shorter than the dart.
ID is pretty much the same as the old Big Bad Bow arrows so anything that can fire those can fire these including the BBB itself
i love shotgun blasters but they are rarely battle effective. this seems to offer a good option.
Legitbread has now passed Out of darts in number of subscribers!
Not that you deserve to be passed, plus you're still growing
Honestly, this blaster has rendered my prototype rocket launchers obsolete mechanically. Only thing I still have is the aesthetics because its styled off an MGL.
Yeah, I'mma wait for the Doubledealer or the Big Rig.
1:56 - RRRR!
I'm real curious if the new XL darts can be fired from a demolisher hamp or a meaker mk28.
Make a new kind of barrel attachment point for these darts!
For the sake of simplicity, I think they should be equivalent to rockets. However, for game balance, I could see a 2 shot rule where the first hit counts as mega and a second hit counts as a rocket.
I want this, but might wait till it's on sale...we will see. And it should replace demolisher rockets.
Love the hugeness of it. #girthdart
Is it possible to make an inline clip shotty cylinder?
i think it be cool if you made a lil' rocket barrel that shoots the foam discs
sorry that its so random just a thought that crossed my mind
Im looking forward to getting one as soon as possible. Have you tried mega xl on the proud papa yet?
Now that we have our hands on the ammo, we're currently testing Little Rocket barrel options!
Which cylinder mod to you recommend for power? Half length darts?
I turned my The Judge into a revolving rocket launcher. It doesn't work very well. This is basically doing what I was trying to do with my The Judge, so I'm interested. That logo is super ugly, though. I'd have to find some way to redo that whole area.
I would put the m xl in between I would say the first shot on a shield piercing but then if it get shot with a mega it breaks the shield
Someone said somewhere on the internets that you can stack two short darts into each hole in the full sized dart version of this mod, shooting a total of 10 darts per shot. Do you think that would work?
Like the triple Little Rocket barrel it would work, just with a little less performance than it's designed ammo type.
Okay, Luke. We love you and all that. But you can't just try and subtly drop a bomb like that at the end of your video. "The MKIII will already be here by the time this video is live." Do you have any idea what you've done? The anticipation and hype we all have has been pretty intolerable since the announcement, and now we KNOW that you (and I believe walcom) have one in your hands. I can't tell you how frequently I'm pushing refresh on my RUclips notifications page. I can't tell you how excited I'm getting every time I hear a notification tone on my phone. This is cruel and unusual punishment for a crime and none of us committed. Please, please, please expedite production of the MKIII video, with all of the juicy details. Keep up the awesome work.
This is the only way I would buy a mega XL blaster
You need to review the Worker Swift!
It's on our list! There's just so many more blasters that take priority!
How I see ammo types should be ranked it should be
Darts/rival rounds: standard
Mega: high caliber
Mega XL: grenades
Missile: rocket
Now THATS a big iron.
if a game type uses these they should count as mega on the first hit and rocket on the second hit
Is the hole in back of the dart the same size as the Elite Missiles? I.e can you fire Mega XL dart out of a Demolisher or Tri-Strike missile launcher?
I believe American foam tested that, and unfortunately the inner diameter is a bit larger than a missile post, making it too loose.
The only thing about counting this as Demolisher rockets is the DMs tend to be a single shot blaster so you can't get the rapid fire rate of a revolver. (Appart from the fortnite GL)
A six shot rapid fire shield destroyer could be over powered.
But yeah it needs to be more useful than a mega dart.
What 3d drawing software do you use? i want to lear bro this is amazing...
We use Autodesk Fusion 360. Stay tuned for our warehouse tour video, where we will go more in depth with our design process.
Is there any tutorial on how to install the shotgun cylinder mod
you should make an inline 5 shot drum
