Thanks Cap! He said looking up from his latest Rival acquisition. I didn't know abt the buffer tube skinny spring nexus, tee hee. Its a great way to get us shopping at the Worker outlets for an upgrade.
It's a shame there isn't a way to have a "Secondary Spring" that has a larger diameter to fit around the plunger rod and between the plunger head and the catch mechanism. You would probably need to have another bulkhead/wall in the shell for the second spring to butt up against, forward of the catch, but it might have worked - plus the springs would need to be matched so they both compress fully. Just an idea.
Just curious, but do you see the "Skinny Spring" setup becoming, over time, the standard? Obviously not for Hasbro, but it seems like talon mags with buffer tubes etc. seems to be a given with so many springers.
Becoming? I would say it already has. For high-end name brand springers anyway. Given that all recent Worker and DartZone blasters use them. The only recent brand name high-end springer that doesn't is the X-Shot Longshot. 3d printed blasters are another story. Not sure why they haven't.
Does the skinnyness of the spring have anything to do with prime weight? I have noticed that many skinny springers seem to have lighter primes than K26ed 3D printed springers, but equivalent performance, and was wondering if spring geometry had anything to do with it.
Love these episodes. I’ve learned so much. But I’ve been wondering about why these episodes center around the K26, meaning what makes it so special as opposed to a K27 or a K25? I’m sure there’s a reason but I’m new to the hobby and probably missed out on some key developments over the years.
Because, when I started this series, those other springs didn't exist or were not yet well known about. K26 was the common spring used to upgrade blasters back then. In newer episodes, I don't only use K26, I test other springs as well. But "Can it Take a K26, a k26, a k25, a k14, 788, or this random spring I bought at Home Depot?" Is not as catchy a title. ;) And it isn't about whether it can specifically take a K26. It is a quick check to see if the design lends itself to an easy spring upgrade.
@@CaptainXavier Unfortunately I currently don't have the funds to get such spring. What I'm talking about is the model S of the Ceda jet blaster that, if you wanted to upgrade the nexus you would take the Ceda spring and put it in the nexus instead of the base spring of the nexus. Walcoms7's video says it gets an fps range from 170 to 180 with the the Ceda spring in the nexus.
Yes. I'm pretty sure I mentioned in the video that most, if not all, of them have upgrade springs available. Some even come with multiple strength springs.
Important thing: most of the "skinny springers" (good term) can take the Worker upgrade springs for the Harrier and Seagull.

Thank you for this new term: skinny springers. Love it.

love the videos I just got in to nerf collecting and I'm learning a lot
Thank you sir! Bangarang!

3d printed blasters are another story. Not sure why they haven't.
You should call it Skinny Scouter Springs Special. LOL🤣
Captain, are you implying Nerf Springs are Fat ?
In general, no. The Longshot spring is though. :P
Do the stryfe and rapidstrike for the lols (or april fools but make the video hilariously long)

It could be. It could also be design, materials, or any number or combinations of factors.

@@CaptainXavier ahh I get it now! Thanks!
Is there any Swift/DZ pro MK 4.0 spring that are heavier then the 1.8 spring???
Probably? But I am not familiar with one.
Is the starting footage of you shoving a spring into an FDL a reference to Airzone's k26 FDL?
...it is not, no.
But now the important question: could a skinny springer take the penny mod? Or would a quarter or nickel be required instead
Might actually need to be a dime...
Why don't you upgrade the nexus pro with a ceda s spring... i watched Walcoms7's video on it and it gains about 20 to 30 fps more...
Is this a riddle? I give up. Why don't you do that?

is there a good spring mod for skinny spring blasters?
Yes. I'm pretty sure I mentioned in the video that most, if not all, of them have upgrade springs available. Some even come with multiple strength springs.
hi
no ceda?? or gf prime??
No, because I already covered them when they came out years ago.
