Buy your own MOAB: www.moa.international (US Distributor) What do you think about this video? It took quite some time and I tried to improve the production quality - I am looking forward for some feedback!
I think that it may help retention if you show more of your face whilst interacting with the mechanics. Not sure how feasible it is. Only hands, like This Old Tony, would need really engaging editing I suspect.
The people calming it is only for “heating problems” do not actually know how gatling/ motorized gatling guns work. I do like the fact that you took your time to explain in detail how your machine works and how it uses actual firearm mechanics/techniques to make a dart gun that not only looks cool but actually works
Great explanation of the mechanism. I didn't know that you use a cam to prime the plunger but it totally makes sense if you are priming multiple plungers in one cycle (taking account the energy efficiency and the load). Also the laughter while shooting the thing is only surpaced by the "mad scientist" laughter during making and testing it.
I can't wait for your next video about the de-linker! As someone that's interested in the engineering of things, I found this video very informative. Keep up the great work!
the rotating barrels, the delinking chain and casings are my favorite part about this blaster! its really cool, something i always wanted to make, plus there are benefits to casings such as making a chain as long as you like and keeping the ammo intact, thats probably why i havent seen gatling guns yet due to the nature of the darts, when i first saw your moab i was blown away! i knew it was possible but you made the first step, i do hope to make one eventually ^^
@@gatlingtommy yeah! That would be pretty cool ^^ eventually I want to make my own designs or the fallout 3 minigun, I would have to learn how to work with electronics though lol
I definitely see the improvement in the video production. Very good explanation of the mechanics, great 3D models for demonstrations, and it is always fun to see that BEAST unleash foam hell. And that’s not even mentioning the passion with which you are treating this project. All in all, keep up the great work!
Would love to have one of these, would hate reloading it😂. This is truly a seriously impressive feat and I love that the rotating barrel is actually integral to the mechanics of the blaster and not just a visual gimmick.
The comments make my eye twitch. Yes, heat was an issue, but only because you were shoving thousands of rounds a minute down range, and you can't exactly change barrels like with the MG42 and other MGs when in a plane in the middle of a dogfight.
I'm sorry, where in the comments did you find anyone saying this? I looked through every single one made before you posted this and nowhere did anyone say anything related to this.
@@gatlingtommy I'm fully expecting you to build a 3D printed automatic reloader where you can just enter all the components in to baskets and it assembled the chain for you xD
Darn!… I have a similar concept in my head but yours is better. And you not doubt have a lot of patience building this. So ever considered make a hand crank version? It basically the same principles but without the motor. You know for those who want something bit of Old Western.
Well it really took an absurd amount of time developing this thing… no clue how I was able to stay motivated… I thought about a hand crank version, would also make it cheaper, but there are a lot of other more interesting ideas in my head ☺️
That’s a good question. I think getting into a cad tool, experimenting until you have the first iteration of something you think makes sense and then trying an 3d printer to test out the design, would be a good start. This is the way I went, and the design mainly iterated and improved by printing parts and testing if the mechanics make sense. But I am also a studied engineer, not a mechanical but electronics, software and general stuff… so if it’s about the basic theory and so on I don’t know what to recommend (I am less a theoretical guy more an experimenting one)
Hi, I realy love your design and follow this project since i don't know when. I still hope i can afford the MOAB some day, but sadly i've to safe up along time until i may be able to. Right now i'm trying to design a single barrel, belt-fed, gun, and make good progress. However I struggel hard with the design of the ammochute right now and a few tips on design would be highly appreciated. I should mention that im "self taught" in 3d design and until now use only "tinkercad" for my designs😂
Love how the people whose comments you showed, talk about how the rotating barrels are just for cooling on the M134, which is just factually incorrect. By distributing the work needed for cycling the action among multiple barrels, the rate of fire is greatly increased. Additionally, with multiple barrels and mechanisms, the mechanical wear is also spread out, so barrels need replacing less often. P.S. People of the internet, don't talk about things you don't know anything about.
Well I think it was mainly convenience, I had only full length darts (and maybe even didn’t thought about half length darts/didn’t know of them at that time), one reason k didn’t switch was, because then the belt would have looked weird, from the proportions (each shell wide but short). Switching to half length darts would cost quite some redesigning, not sure if it is worth it. What would the benefit of using half length darts be?
@@gatlingtommy mainly usability for customers, since most nerf hobbyists willing to spend that much on a blaster use exclusively half length darts nowadays. Half darts are also generally more accurate.
Nope, I think this thing is way over engineered and over complicated - so I don’t think that they are interested, it would be to expensive to build and not enough customer for the resulting price tag
@@Caldoric There are a few that do that, notably the GAU8 and some other aircraft mounted miniguns, which do so since getting rid of loose links in a fast moving aircraft without damaging said aircraft is actually rather challenging
@@sage5296 true, devices of that scale do use that kind of mechanism, but they also are inherently not "miniguns", because they're too huge to fit the moniker.
I didnt know Tommy was German this explains why it works so well they over engineer everything. As an American there really is a difference in engineering between a chevy cruze a BMW z series and a 7 series BMW or a E 450 AMG Mercedes Benz
In real life guns, the multiple barrels is there so each barrel only fires 1/6th (or 1/7th or 1/8th etc) of the bullets, and thus overheats 6 (or more) times slower In this, Since it's a pnuematic system, the barrels need time to reset, more so than a typical gun as there's no propellant to blast the pieces back into place. Heating may also be an issue to some extent, but for pure burst firerate the reset time of each barrel is the real bottleneck
On the real minigun and mine the pieces are not blown back but moved back by that „reversed cylindrical cam“. The time it needs for that is not fixed, it depends on the rotation wpeed. Sadly there are still limits to the rotation speed…
Well 100 dps is at the technical limit of the current MOAB, I am not sure if it is sustainable or if it will break under some circumstances - that’s why I don’t want to sell this version
Oké Can I ask you a question Again please please React To This Can I please have a free Moab than I It's okay If You Say No I tell you understand it but please please I always Lose in a Nerf battle with my brother I hate that I Wanna Win for God sake yes thank you I hope you will React😅😊❤❤
The comments: "you dont need 6 rotating barrels its not a real gun" bros one of those who just cant do awesome shit even if he tried and spends life downplaying the accomplishments of others for arbitrary reasoning to make themselves feel better about it 😂

Wonderful Video, I and many others would love to see many more videos about the engineering that went into this blaster!

awesome to see another update gatlingtommy!!
Very nice 🐟
The visuals helped to follow your explanations greatly

I do like the fact that you took your time to explain in detail how your machine works and how it uses actual firearm mechanics/techniques to make a dart gun that not only looks cool but actually works
now you gotta make a machine that can auto load the darts and assemble the chain, that would be so awesome. good stuff as always!
I know, I would love to build such a machine, but I have a lot of other todos to do before… some day ☺️
I love seeing all of the engineering stuff behind this beast
Toasters really are everywhere
I dreamed of something like this when I was young and into blasters. Your dedication to make this work reliably is amazing!

@@dinkeycat The ones listed in the video.
I think they were questioning why a Nerf blaster needed to be Gatling style. They weren't talking about the ones that shoot real bullets.
Who's bringing a nerf gun on a plane?
Awesome to see! Looking forward to the next videos!
I would love to see a video explaining the de-linker and a 1 hour video of reloading😅
Maybe I should do a live stream about the reloading 😀
Yeah😏

Yes i have been waiting for this video great that you made this video. You relly explaind well❤
Thanks a lot!
Great job 👏
this is a great video, I would like to know everything about the mechanics of this masterpiece, thank you very mcuh, great work.
will there be a half-length dart version?
btw great vid, love it~
Not sure, that would be a lot of effort of redesigning
nice! elegant design
Time to team up with someone for a sentry model.
Do people actually think real rotary machine guns fire out of all six barrels at once?
The only thing the general populous has seen when it comes to rotary guns is barrels spin, gun shoot fast. Not a big surprise.
@@0bsidianPrime true, and some people still erroneously call them "chainguns" pretty often which always aggravates me particularly.
i mean we all know hollywood has no clue what a minigun actually is
@@0bsidianPrime "you are dead not big surprise"- a wise man who owns a semi realistically firing minigun.

make a tutorial how the magazine works and nurfs are loaded to the chamber?

Oh that took me quite a while to get right, around 30h and a lot of printed parts…
Do you really need a ammo chute?
@@gatlingtommy
Do you "realy" need the MOAB😂
LOVE IT!
If you were going to put longer barrels on it, how long could you make them without breaking the system?

Yes
cool minigun
We’re can you get the files for it
Why is the storage backpack square and why not be a cylinder so you could hold more rounds?
You are a god among men.
Would you join my religion? 😉
@@gatlingtommy I got u, I subbed
I'm curious, what 3D printer and filament types did you use for making this blaster?
Thanks to Daily Dose of Internet for introducing you to me :D
BRO 120k SUBS LETS GOOOOO
Can you talk about why you chose to use full instead of half length darts, and if it would be possible to convert?

@@Klipik12 ok, thank you
If I get just the blaster how much would it cost me
Love your videos
You mean w/o backpack and 500 dart belt?
I wonder if the new N series will allow for a “case-less” ammo system…
now you need to make a robot to auto load the darts into the cartridge
I know, that would be nice…
i wish i can disgn my own for cosplay
Most impressive! Have you been contacted by Nerf yet?
Nope, I think this thing is way over engineered and over complicated - so I don’t think that they are interested, it would be to expensive to build and not enough customer for the resulting price tag
Why don’t you make a 10 barrelled version of your gun?
What if U add a noder chain where the used ammo goes in the backpack
Too complex, too much extra weight. Real miniguns don't do that anyway, they use the kind of delinking method used here (or something similar to it).

Währe cool wenn die Datein für die Kette und die Hülsen auf thingiverse oder so währen, damit es zu einem Standard werden kann.
Finde ich ne gute idee. Ich habe am Wochenende auf der Open Sauce mit diversen nerfern gesprochen und ich denke das macht Sinn!
can i get the files to build it for myself?

Where are the cartridges coming from?
I printed the cartridges and links myself. They are stored in the backpack and pulled in by the blaster
Or a box under neath where the cartridges go

Can you play Sell The One That Shoots 100 Darts per second
Well 100 dps is at the technical limit of the current MOAB, I am not sure if it is sustainable or if it will break under some circumstances - that’s why I don’t want to sell this version
Oke
Oké This is my last Question please React To This one can you please please I will do anything Almost Anything Send me a free MOAB🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Also last Question Can I please get away to chat with you in private like Not for Just A Limited Time Forever
Can you make a shoot harder?
I could, but I don’t want to - it already hurts enough, 50 times per second, no need to make it hurt more
