Gel blasters- they're actually much less accurate then Airsoft and even high-power nerf, so a nerf blaster makes for an excellent sniper-rifle equivilant for a gel blaster field!
Another fascinating review. I'm always surprised to see how few players realise that they are a fair bit wider than they think they are, making it so easy for you to snipe a bit they think is under cover.
I just love watching you school airsoft users. The Swift looks awesome and I think it has made my Elite Caliburn obsolete. If you get the time what would be the FPS numbers with the longest barrel and the weakest spring. I'm hoping that might get it into the usable HvZ range.
Honestly doubt the darts would leave the 550mm barrel at all with the 1.2 spring. I'd personally rely on the rifling to drop your fps a little on the stock config or maybe even the medium barrel.
Thank you for all the amazing camera scope footage, it really emphasizes the accuracy of this blaster. Even through tiny little gaps in the scenery, your darts are still finding their marks with excellent precision.
Hey Bradley, great video as always. I haven't had to modify the breach, and have not experienced any problems with AF Darts, being that they are by far the skinniest darts on the market by a country mile, Worker Gen2 on that really fat foam does give that issue, but its because the weakest 1.2 spring is so weak that when it does happen, I can hear it fire, the air compresses and then the plunger bounces backwards from the pressure and lowers the final amount of of air delivered as a result. And it's more noticeable the better you make the air seal. Using a Monkee Mods 40cm barrel on the 1.4 spring yields much better results than what your getting which tells me the stock barrel is to short for that spring load. Taking that into account, I would say that the 550mm barrel is also to short and if it was longer, it would perform way better. This is a magnificent offering for new people to enter the hobby with as it will suit a range of play stules and games, other than being just a SNIPER platform. I see this a way better value for money than a Caliburn, as the shell constuction is excellent compared to any other comparably priced blaster. It is very solid, and weighty. It does not have the creaks and groans the Nexus Pro and DartZone Pro Shells have when priming. The performance I am getting is going toe to toe with your Sabre on its light spring, but with better range on that 40cm barrel and the 1.4 spring than your Sabre M20 on it largest spring and barrel combo at a 3rd of the price. So extremely happy. You should have kept tinkering with it, its a much better platform than you have given it credit for.
I would love to see you try out and review the spiritual successor to this blaster; The Worker Harrier. Curious your thoughts/viewpoints on the Harrier in contrast to the Swift.
hey Brad great review!! I bought the Orange one (looks awesome with an orange Katana mag, if only they were compatible...) from Monkeemods cheers for the discount. Loved the ease and performance of this thing after years of building longshots. I hope they send you a ZWQ S100 WAR SAINT to review I'm really interested in one of those too but want someone like yourself to give it an honest thumbs up. Keep up the great work I love seeing the new gen nerf youtubers keeping the hobby updated!!
Great review as always. I wonder if that easy prime is also contributing to the lack of punch that the spring seems to have. A long spring with a long tube just not developing enough back pressure quick enough, to really accelerate the dart and maintain the acceleration. I like the idea of the blaster but the inconsistency in fps and lack of responsiveness of the spring & plunger combination means I will hold off until people play with different combinations of springs and barrels to sort this.
Brad, are you sure the AF Pro darts are sometimes to big? Because I fire mine through 17/32 brass, and the problem I've noticed is they are sometimes too small. (Roughly 1 in 10). The same darts that will sometimes squib will also slide out of my brass barrel. I've largely fixed this problem by sorting them using a spare piece of brass. I'm going to return the bad ones once I get a full packs worth.
Thanks worker. You gone and made my 8 prophecies obsolete. 😜 seriously though, aesthetics aside, this is boss. Great consistency with the big spring. I was going to get a caliburn, looks like I’ll never have to now
My prophecy failed where the priming bars connect to the bolt sled. Screws stripped themselves and now I can't connect them without replacing the sled. This is after buying replacement screws after the first set broke. I might just dumpster it.
@@DraconisMarchVIIdamn! That blows. Don’t give up on it. You know you had some good times before the bad. I highly recommend the metal sled, it makes changing the sled screws easy as they just float in the holes and aren’t a tight fit as with the plastic sled. Blastertech in Australia has the parts online (sled and screws). Dean is a legend and is only too happy to help
Huh this is the first time I've ever heard of AF Pros being too big lol, for me my problem is some being too thin, and falling out of 13mm barrels. Also even with the red o-rings I'm still pretty disappointed in the consistency with the medium spring, and barrel, wonder if there's a way to fix that
Question I’m thinking of painting the white part purple and was wondering if it would get rubbed off my the pump grip? Also what would be a decent paint
Hey Bradley, I just wanted to ask you if this is a trusted affiliate link because the Swift that they're offering on their site is a lot cheaper than most other places. Thanks!
Just thought I’d let you know blastertech said it will now come with bothe lower springs and barrels it won’t come with the strongest spring and barrel though
Strange you say that the red o rings work best while IME that green o rings work and according to walcom the green ones are better. Maybe different batch inconsistencies?
Just tried the Sabre barrel, it fits into the blaster and all but the pusher doesn't fit into it. The flared barrel end of the Worker barrel is a requirement. Though a Kury barrel may work.
@@BradleyPhillipsYT eh, I got spare barrels. When I finally get ahold of one I'll see about flaring it for shits and giggles. Thanks for testing it tho!
I think there is a sling mount you can attach there. I agree that it should be a full length rail though but wasn't an issue for me mounting my Runcam on top of the scope.
I think it would be a little inconsistent in velocity if you tried to get it that low. Would be better off with a retaliator style blaster like Nexus Pro.
What can one expect if they use the strongest spring(1.6), but keep the medium or 350mm barrel? Can they still expect an increase in fps from the medium spring?
Hello nerf community I never really got in to the hobby grade level stuff but I want something that shoots hard like really hard and right now I have narrowed to two options the 300fps Caliburn and the Worker Swift. I am pretty long so looking for something sniper like that honestly just slaps. Pros of the Caliburn being I can shoot my full length ridiculously far and maybe pick up an aeon pro to get an adapter and another good secondary option for an introduction to half-length? Also I like building so probably will do the DIY kit which could be fun depending on what happens. OR I could go with the swift that looks cool and seems to have an easier prime and less to overall worry about but makes me shoot an ammo type not carried by the regular blasters. What do you guys think I should do?
I'm wondering if we would be able to get them in New South Wales and other states that are not allowed to have gel blasters as these would still be fun to play with
@@BradleyPhillipsYT it really sucks how we are not trustworthy enough to have gel blasters or Airsoft or anything like that I think our government sucks and suck the fun out of life
Didn't try but the springs are optimised for the specific barrels, so med spring with short barrel will just be lower fps than the med barrel. Should solve the issue though.
Now in stock at Monkeemods. www.monkeemods.com/nerf/worker-swift.html
It's ok, worker for me and thanks for réduc 👍

Definitely grabbing one of these, mainly for the easier prime.
Just battled against a swift user in game and yes the darts do fly SWIFTLY

Had to replay that several several times.
waaaaaaaaaagh
What optics are you using in this video or what optic would you recommend in general for a blaster like this? Cheers
I think he forgot to say he was doing a headshot only challenge. :)
I love seeing how far dart blasters have come, fantastic video as always!
This is some top tier nerf content, amazing work and very thorough review! Also the blaster looks great too.
The consistency in the shots with this blaster is fantastic...

Fantastic video Brad.
I'll be picking one of these up for sure.
I would love to see you try out and review the spiritual successor to this blaster; The Worker Harrier.
Curious your thoughts/viewpoints on the Harrier in contrast to the Swift.
Great reviews, as Malaysian nerfers/foamwar we collect to buy more dozen PCs .
Exactly what I was waiting for and wanting from dart zone! Excited to get my hands on one! Great work as usual cheers 👍!
that airseal is nuts
what setup do you use for your m20 sabre like what scope and stuff
Pretty sure he uses what I use, a Novritsch 1-4x scope ($79)
Cool, this is the blaster i look forward to the most this year. Hopefully i'll be able to find one.
The beginning was just great

Love the review 💜 I’m so excited for this blaster
It's definitely a game changer for injection molded blasters!
This and the Gameface prime might just get me back into the hobby
Hey Brad, I just wanted to ask. Do you know where to buy the springs and the different types of barrels for the worker Swift?
Great review as always.
I wonder if that easy prime is also contributing to the lack of punch that the spring seems to have. A long spring with a long tube just not developing enough back pressure quick enough, to really accelerate the dart and maintain the acceleration.
I like the idea of the blaster but the inconsistency in fps and lack of responsiveness of the spring & plunger combination means I will hold off until people play with different combinations of springs and barrels to sort this.
Possibly wax/polish the barrels for more consistent fps?
What’s the downside of using the strongest spring with the shortest barrel? Accuracy?
Excellent video! Awesome blaster.

Yeah, I've had more sizing problems from worker darts than af darts
it is likely because of humidity and atmospheric pressure
Would you choose the worker swift or Orion blasters Lynx
Amazing vids my man
Hi Bradley, do you use teflon tape for air seal?
Question I’m thinking of painting the white part purple and was wondering if it would get rubbed off my the pump grip? Also what would be a decent paint
I gotta say, that intro is pretty SWIFT
Spring for life
Great, thorough review as ever.
Hey Bradley,
I just wanted to ask you if this is a trusted affiliate link because the Swift that they're offering on their site is a lot cheaper than most other places. Thanks!
Monkeemods is a very trustworthy store
A part of the blaster reminds me of Soldier 76 's weapon from overwatch and now I'm thinking about buying this blaster 😏
Just thought I’d let you know blastertech said it will now come with bothe lower springs and barrels it won’t come with the strongest spring and barrel though
Awesome that they're including the 1.4 and 350mm barrel at no extra charge!
Hey brad question, so there wasn't an issue getting this nerf blaster through customs? No issues?
It's Nerf, there's no issues at all
Good luck finding the darts
So how much will it cost in the US? Thanks for the review, Brad. I seriously need one.
I think $180usd
@@BradleyPhillipsYT Thanks!
Which scar did you use in the accuracy test Brad? Im having terrible accuracy with the worker plastic scar and monkeemods scar
Worker string scar
Which scar would you recommend? Blastertech or worker stringed (which degree) or anything else? I'll use it most with the 1.4 spring
Blastertech
Strange you say that the red o rings work best while IME that green o rings work and according to walcom the green ones are better. Maybe different batch inconsistencies?
Guessing they changed it, mine was an earlier model
@@BradleyPhillipsYTdid you teflon tape under your o rings?
I have a question. Which blaster is the best between the worker harrier and the swift?
The Harrier is much nicer I'd say, smaller profile, and more gun-like.
so am I wrong to worry that the white version will yellow quickly?
This thing is so cool!!!!! And nice gameplay!!!
What settings do you use on your chrono for half length Pros? Like weight and length?
Those settings are only used to calculate joules and aren't needed to calculate velocity.
Hey Brad, does the Sabre barrel fit in it? Also will Monkee Mods carry all the upgrades? Guessing they will
Just tried the Sabre barrel, it fits into the blaster and all but the pusher doesn't fit into it. The flared barrel end of the Worker barrel is a requirement. Though a Kury barrel may work.
@@BradleyPhillipsYT eh, I got spare barrels. When I finally get ahold of one I'll see about flaring it for shits and giggles. Thanks for testing it tho!
Yeah Im really sad that gel blasters aren't allowed in NSW which is annoying so I'll prob move to queensland
Your Videos are the best!
Greetings from germany!
So what's the expected $USD price for this upon release?
I think around $180usd
Kind of really want one of these
Hi, what is the weight of the Swift please compared to other blasters..?
About the same as a Caliburn or Longshot
@@BradleyPhillipsYT longshot with worker kit or omega kit please..? or just stock longshot..?
Worker kit
@@BradleyPhillipsYT much thanks 😃🙏
Did you have the dart problem on the medium and higher power configurations
No
@@BradleyPhillipsYT cool. The other thing I was wondering is what kind of FPS you get with max spring and shorter barrels
What about the medium barrel paired with the heaviest spring? 220fps avg?
Probably around that, maybe even a little higher
Hey Bradley, what scope do you use?
A low power variable optic
Ok thanks man!
Curious about the scope you have on the Swift, what is it?
It's a low power variable optic, I usually use it at 1x but it can zoom to 4x. Got it from Novritsch.
is there a link to the listing? I can't seem to find it on monkee mods
Awesome video, can't wait to get one 😀
Hey Brad this looks awesome!, what kind of distance are you getting with this blaster?
It can do around 70 metres maximum
@@BradleyPhillipsYTnow that's pretty wicked!
it looks like the swift is missing the front rail section. Do they sell it separately or is that just the end of the rail? It looks a bit unfinished
I think there is a sling mount you can attach there. I agree that it should be a full length rail though but wasn't an issue for me mounting my Runcam on top of the scope.
@@BradleyPhillipsYT Hmm... I may try to design a 3d printed rail section to fit there once I get my swift. Thanks for the info!
Where did you buy that
This vs a U Caliburn damn it’s so hard to choose. Any idea which I should get?
I'd choose this for the durability
Do you think it would be possible to configure a swift for 130 FPS cap games?
I think it would be a little inconsistent in velocity if you tried to get it that low. Would be better off with a retaliator style blaster like Nexus Pro.
Where do you find the strongest spring/longest barrel? I can’t seem to find them anywhere
They'll be stocked by the same retailers who sell Swift.
@@BradleyPhillipsYT In that case, I’ll take this over the Lynx! Thank you!!
What can one expect if they use the strongest spring(1.6), but keep the medium or 350mm barrel? Can they still expect an increase in fps from the medium spring?
Yes but fps will be lower than using the 550mm barrel
Hi Bradley, great video you have sold me. Can you recommend a scope, please. For the UK.
I'd check Amazon or eBay for an Airsoft sight. Can get them for around $40
@@BradleyPhillipsYT Thank you, much appreciated.
Why is my configuration only available 132FPS (280mm Barrel+1.2 Spring) , confused~~~
That's really friggen cool.
If I didn't have my M20 this would be my favourite blaster
Cool they give you a shorter Talon. Hope they sell them seperate as well.
They do
They’re on sale on AKBM
AWESOME!!!!! not a 3D printed blaster haha... Monkeemods better be prepare for the horde.......

Novritsch low power variable optic
Nice! Good job Worker. Hope to get my hands on one too. Let’s hope the QC for future production batches of Swift are of same quality build.
put ballistic tracker on ur SL-8 so you would not miss the bullet drop .
i guess thats goodbye to every springer i've ever had or built.... lol
I need this with the big long barrel. I also need to get me the full metal upgrade kit for the nexus pro
Dude that’s hilarious, those were my top two things I needed to get before I went and got both of them. Swift performs INSANE.
Do they have toys sniper
Lmao, that one guy got shot like 7 times
Hey mate. Do we need to register these?
Nope
Did you try the "MED" Spring on the shorter barrel? - It may fix the delayed firing, as the stock spring may be a little too weak.
Didn't try but the springs are optimised for the specific barrels, so med spring with short barrel will just be lower fps than the med barrel. Should solve the issue though.
My included mag doesn’t drop freely for some reason
Nice one..
Thats a nice blaster, what scope do you use on it
what it is on taobao already
