There's already alot of simple mods out for the Pilot to shoot half darts and mega darts. I think it's a fun pistol. I saw 3D printed shells for the Pilot which I think is great. Open the breach, pop in a shell (half dart, mega, etc) and fire.
I think the Pilot's biggest selling point is actually how easy it is to mod. All you need is a couple inches of pvc and some electrical tape and boom you have a 150+ fps short dart shooter! All of this combined costs less than $25. Plus there are easily constructed inline clips as well if you're willing to do a little more handiwork. I've seen some that hold up to 5 short darts! IMO this is what makes the Pilot a lot better than the Knockout.
@@CosmicGaijin The PVC has a smaller inner diameter, so it can fire short-darts. The short darts generally travel faster than rival rounds, and the barrel can be even longer to maximise the use of the plungers volume! Super cool! 😎
You have to appreciate the fact that Nerf put out a rival jolt with it being the one blaster that most people likely wrote off as as a pass especially at its price. Yet somehow instead it ended up getting tons of mods for it right out the gate and being better than it has any right to be.
I love the new chronograph data and how you place blasters on a scale with other blasters. It really gives a visual idea of how good the velocity is compared to what’s on the market
I bought a Buzz bee double barrel like 10 years ago that has actual shells. you charge it by opening the breach. it pulls some string and loads the spring for 2 shots. you then put in the 2 darts in their shells. when shot the shells will fly out as soon as you open the breach and fly out super satisfying. if you only shot one it only threw one shell out. it wasnt very high quality or good but it was cheap and the coolest feeling nerf i had as a kid.
I think the big benefit over the knockout is not having to shove the handle back in to shoot. The knockout feels like you have to finish a pre-flight checklist in order to shoot it every time. 4 steps versus 3.
This thing's cool! As an at-home plinker though I'll go with the Knockout everytime, but maybe for a weird reason; fidget factor. The Knockout has so many steps, open beach, put in ball, close breach, pull priming handle, push priming handle back, fire. And for me that's more satisfying overall having that many operations to complete to fire a ball. But, as stated, maybe that's weird of me.
I used to watch your videos reguarly years ago but fell out of the hobby. I saw one of these with a couple of friends and we all decided to get one to mess around with and I thought of this channel. I had a lot of fun when I was a kid even if I couldn't afford anything but a Maverick thanks to you. The production quality has gone up a lot but you can't replace the vibe, never change man.
I think one of the best selling points of the knock out is the easy and cheap mods. They're about as drop in as drop in can get and pretty difficult to mess up printing. Mega is my favorite ammo type and being able to have a really high power pocket mega blaster is awesome. Even better is the short darts in line clip. With that you get 3 dart capacity blaster that fires over 100 fps with minimal modding for $11. I think this is going to help a lot of skeptical people get into higher FPS Foam flinging especially at that price. $11 for over 100fps short dart blasting is absolutely unmatched in the hobby.
Seeing as he normally doesn't enjoy break action guns, I guess the "Yo, check this out!" refers to the blue balls. Guess this is what hype for good Nerf guns does to you.
Am I the only one thinking of a proper double barrel using this style of loading? I don’t think nerf would make it but another company could. make it have a heavy prime so you can triple load and still get good performance. Like a pump action double barrel with slam fire that’ll let you shoot 6 balls and then you open the breach and shove some more in.
I think Coop needs to have a 3D printer or can be easily get access to one, since there are plenty of wonderful mods for this. Not mention all other mods for other blasters
Only two rival balls? Wow, that's cheap. They're so much easier to lose than a dart. But this might be the first blaster I've been interested in for a couple years.
Hey coop! I don’t know if you will see this but could you maybe do a “yo check this out” on the cool in line clips and stuff people make for this blaster?
Woah a blaster with a cool mechanic? That's rare these days
it's not even a cool mechanic
If any blaster gets anyone into moddibg it'll be this one. Cool mechanic is just icing on the cake.
@@real9346 I think break action is always fun.

I never seen a blaster like this before.
Exactly how does adding some tape and a piece of PVC make it go from 80 to 150 FPS? I’m genuinely interested.

@@ZakLeek oooooooo that makes sense. That’s pretty gangsta. Thank you for the info! 👏
@@CosmicGaijin you don't even have to open the blaster. The Pilot I can see getting a lot of people into that modding aspect of the hobby.

You mean the Knockout?
One of those mod kits makes it into a spring powered Demolisher Missile launcher. Look up the _"Meaker Mk28"_ from Meaker Arms.
Those Rival rounds are just insane. They fly so smooth and straight and steady, it's like gravity doesn't even apply!
praise hop up technology!

The OG shell ejector
This really makes me wish they would redo the Barrel Break in a new look and better springs.
I love the one-second pause whenever you say "blue balls" 😂 I don't know if it's intentional or not but it cracks me up
Seen some mods for this already and excited to see what else people do to these. Thanks for the review my man
I own it, I use it SO MUCH! Sometimes it has a one second small recoil.
Just muzzle load multiple ammo types until it does what you need #tinker
I think the big benefit over the knockout is not having to shove the handle back in to shoot. The knockout feels like you have to finish a pre-flight checklist in order to shoot it every time. 4 steps versus 3.
I honestly dig the knockout for that exact reason. It's half fidget toy and half blaster!
Yeah, I agree, but the Knockout looks better aesthetically, in my opinion, so I can't choose between the two!
Not if you just muzzle load it.
The pilot is one of my favorite rival blasters of all time. Just the fact that the break action is actually necessary makes it so satisfying to use

I think "there's no n-strike barrel lug" is the most iconic line of this channel now
After using standard Rival balls last night, seeing these ones with little curve after fired is scary
I like that graphic with all the blasters' fps readings. Gives a good visualization. You should keep using it.
Got this for my little brother for his birthday which is tomorrow. I really thinks he’s gonna like this one
My favorite part is the 3d printed shells. The pilot shooting a half length and then switch to mega. Great!
You just know he’s way too proud of the blue balls joke at the beginning
buying this thing was the first time ive bought nerf in years!
I got one almost immediately after it came out. The break action is super fun to mess around with.
I like how Coop has a bunch of Mega/Elite darts and other rival rounds all over the ground during the firing demo.
People have modded these already to fire short darts, Elite darts, Mega, Ultra, even shells... all with minimal modding.
...yea. It's good.
Some have just adapted to fire a couple types all at once - same as the knockout.
That might be the hardest product thumbnails you’ve ever had lol! Something about it screams that it means business lol
Yes a comparison between the Pilot and the Knockout!
This one makes me cross my fingers extra hard for a break action double barrel rival.
Come oooon Nerf..
Coop is on a roll with uploads recently

Its kinda like how the zombiestrike sledgefire is fun to use because of the break action
Always a good day when coop uploads
LET'S GO ANOTHER COOP772 VIDEO🎉
So glad he finally reviewed this :)
Bringing back the good ol it's a jolt reskin gag
Thought it's a knockout reskin but oh boy this is something else
a break action, bored out jolt reskin!
Seeing as he normally doesn't enjoy break action guns, I guess the "Yo, check this out!" refers to the blue balls.
Guess this is what hype for good Nerf guns does to you.
0:41 "automagically" That's how I'm going to describe department store urinals and UA-cam playlists from this day on for the rest of my life.
You should bring back the 90 second reviews for these kind of blasters
Finally another nerf brand gun. Great vid!
Bawls gets me EVERY TIME 😂
Did I hear you say "Auto-Magically", that might be my new favorite word !!
Wielding this blaster and opening the break action got me like
I am…EXEKILLER.
I want one now. Also wondering if the system can scale up for demolisher rockets.
Ahhh looking at that fps chart makes me feel old.
I remember the jolt being the most powerful blaster some years ago.
Coop loves when nerf gives him blue balls
Just picked one up today for my 12th birthday and it’s my favorite
Picked this up. It's a cool blaster.
So it's a rival break-action jolt, got it.

ok, this new jolt re skin is pretty epic
A friend of mine has 3D printed shells for different ammo types and they’re great
This is a cool blaster but coming with only two rounds is criminal
It's only to leave room for the half darts.😁
Bro really took two blue balls into a whole New level
Can you do a review on the X Shot Gattling Gun?
"It's like it's asking for it"
-Coop772
Only two rival balls? Wow, that's cheap. They're so much easier to lose than a dart. But this might be the first blaster I've been interested in for a couple years.
thats good cause they dont charge us more
Is the common choice to buy either rival or third party blasters now?
Never heard of a break system opening auto-magically before. Might just be the way I'm hearing things though.
what to expect from a coop video
1 is there a barel lug?
2 the grip annoys coop
btw i love your vids dude!
that is probably the type of gun you give a pilot though
single shot and smol
are you going to do another series overveiw on rival soon
the tactical knockout is real!
Automagically, taking that.
Also even when a cool mechanic is present, nerf still blue balls us with ammo.
They didn’t blue ball us
@@eya6350 the ISS just reported an unidentified object, gotta ring NASA to inform them it's the joke you missed.
If they made a bigger version of this I'd buy it. Super Shotgun kit for this when?!
I've been waiting for this review! Lol
I would really like an updated version of the rival series overview and top picks, last one was in 2019, thats already four years ago.
Coop approved now. Heck yeah.
Almost looks like a cut down Auto-9.
"Dead or alive, you are coming with me. "
0:41 so wait, automatically or magically? Jk funny mix of words, love it
Can you make the next video as which is the best takedown or kronos?
Also appollo
Automagically is my new favorite word
I like the way it looks, I like its perfomance… I only wish it came with more than only two rounds, it’s kinda stingy tbh
Does nerf rival pilot is not out yet for outside of America? Supporting Coop from Malaysia 😁
Finally bought a Kronos last night thanks to your channel
Snagged two due to how easily it's adaptable to half-darts and inline clips.
A jolt reskin that is original, really cool
Hey coop! I don’t know if you will see this but could you maybe do a “yo check this out” on the cool in line clips and stuff people make for this blaster?
By using more than 1 round per shot with rival springer, you can get squib
If we don’t get a double barrel version of this I’m gonna be pissed
Push your hand forward to make the shot fire faster.
You should do a video explaining all the Nerf lingo
A break-action shotgun pistol, this oughta be good.
good video like always Coop
hey coop, for a "yo check this out video" you should go over a few/some/all of the inline magazines that make it fire all different kinds of foam!
I feel like coop said accu-rival rounds to troll has ro because I think has ro made accu-rounds just to hear people say blue bawls
did he just say rival ROUND?!
edit: this was one of the most positive NERF blaster reviews coop has ever made!
one of the most positive NERF blaster reviews 😂
he only said “blueballs” 1 time in the review 😭😭😭
@@ForzaMonkey 😭🤣
@@ForzaMonkey I was too lazy to write "nerf blaster reviews"

classic nerf putting the amazing grips on simple blasters and the garbage grips on the complex ones
HES REVIEWING IT GUYS, BRACE YOURSELFS
How generous, 2 balls!!! how much would it cost Hasslebro to add more (6?)
Coop do a review on the nerf gel fire mythic and the nerf gel fire Legion
Hey Frank!
I’m stuck with three options. Which would you prefer?
Eaglepoint, stryfe or Fortnite ar-l?
Really wish the prime handle went back , like the knockout
Do you know where I can find a modified flywheel kit that’s already built?
The Pilot's safety works the opposite of the Knockout. On the Knockout back is safe.
