Any time I see gears in a blaster, I immediately plan to get metal castings of them. Any time I see a priming rod or an indirect priming system, I plan a milled metal replacement. For as for actually getting the parts, I have a local store that can cast stuff for me, but the milling of parts still eludes me...
Great k26 video Captain. I've had this alien blaster for a couple of months but was afraid of what happened to yours would happen to mine, plus it lookes as complicated as I'd read about. Thanks for the take down, I think youre the first youtuber brave enough to do it. I think I'll leave mine stock. Thanks again for your great, informative and much needed videos on these complex internals. From the old, mad tank driving British nerfer. BANGARANG!!!
In the Alien Menace line's defense...it was a Toys'R'Us exclusive, and essentially died with the company; what we're getting at Ross and other stores are the leftovers that were already made (most of which still have TRU stickers on the packaging, even!). It never had the chance to live. ...just like your Ravager, apparently. RIP.
You should open up a cyclotron on an episode. Not sure how it could be modded (if at all), but man is it an awesome design. You could borrow mine if you want already disabled the locks...
There was the fellow who sent a couple blasters a few months ago, all of which from five below, who would enjoy seeing them at some point. But I understand that new blasters have priority :)
For nesting springs, couldn't you use some craft foam to solidify the plunger head and have the k26 compress into that if it can't compress into the plunger head itself?
Forgive my ignorance but have you tried to k26 the trilogy ds-15 yet? I believe I’ve watched all your episodes and I don’t recall seeing it in any of them, and it’s a blaster I personally own and would be interested in seeing how it takes an upgrade
The way that ravager works gave me an idea, what if someone was to fit a turbo advance plunger tube with a smart ar from say a doublestrike. Would that eliminate the need for that ring-switch-button and just let you blast off 40 darts successively? I think so. Now I need to find my doublestrike from the heap in the attic 😀 Also, can the regenerator take a k26?
The Iron Man 2 blaster isn't super rare, though it's uncommon. There's only one Iron Man blaster thats very very rare and that's the Iron Man Firefly which I'd absolutely kill to have
What do you thing of making a sort of parallel series with flywheelers, like how much they can be improved with a simple (or not so simple) battery replacement?
@@CaptainXavier I kind of meant to suggest for you to do it. I'm not even bought into the lipo system yet, though I plan on it soon. I wouldn't mind trying it if you don't want to, but I don't have much available for content right now. Plus, I do want to wait a little and see how this whole COPPA thing blows over before starting a channel.
I'm always curious how difficult it is to replace the gears in such a blaster so that you could get them better prepared for modded springloads. I would assume not easy, as I'm doubting nerf's using some sort of "industry standard" size.
You could always mold the included plastic one and then pour metal into the mold if you have..... a lot of tools. It'd be PRETTY ridiculous. Nerf doesn't use standard stuff because they don't LIKE us modding everyithng. Also nice avatar!
@@MelodyBurst Yeah, that's what I figured. You'd have to be rather committed to get that FPS out of it. I understand why Nerf doesn't want us to mod the things (Warranty!) but it's still a same that they try to stop us from doing so whenever possible. And thanks! I switched to this from a simpler version just yesterday.
@@notfeedynotlazy Honestly I was thinking casting a foam gear, then putting it in sand and pouring metal into the sand. It's a method I see a lot online, especially The King of Random, and it can be used to make higher-meltion-point metals
if the ravager has similar internals to the Guardian Crossbow, is it possible to use the ravager internals with a Guardian Crossbow to get better performance or rotation?
Captain Xavier I know this is completely unrelated, but you’re kinda the best guy I know to help fix blasters (heck you have a whole series about it) It’s a white retaliator from like 2013, the priming thing will slide back, but nothing happens when I press the trigger, it doesn’t even prime. imgur.com/gallery/ISjBNmx
@@CaptainXavier Ok. What is the radius of the gear, and how many teeth did it have? What type of file? Edit: What is the height? How big is the hole of the gear? Can your printers print a material that is strong enough to sustain a K26? What type of gear is it?
Hopefully Luke gives you more words soon, “A word from our sponsor” is a fun part of the series.
I could see the pain coming as soon as you removed the shell of that Ravager. I admire your perseverance.
YOU ACTUALLY DID A BLASTER I SENT YOU!!!!!!! (It was the Ironman blaster, obviously)
"A spring to surpass Plastic Gear"
...ok...that was pretty good...
Nice
@@CaptainXavier i am 25 ℅ russian BUT 75℅swedish
You should get Luke a Thesaurus for Christmas see what he says in response 😂
ahhh the iron man blaster looks like a fantastic design- like a better alpha trooper. Wish it could be upgraded!
Maybe you could turn the Ravager into a 4-round shotgun...
I was thinking MEGAs, but sure!
@@narenthebeesechurgerman422 A roughcut, but in a much more ridiculous form factor!

👍Congrats on 100,000 subscribers! KEEP IT UP! Also happy leaferixon day, ahing ading adurgen!👍
I wonder if it'd be at all possible to gear the rotation of the Ravager to the priming to fix that slow slam-fire issue... Thoughts?
Yay! Episode 94! Can’t wait for 100!

I love all your videos. And Nerf and Legos
Anytime I see gears I scream like a girl at a Beatles concert and run away 🤷♂️😂. Very interesting I had doubts but you never know.
There was the fellow who sent a couple blasters a few months ago, all of which from five below, who would enjoy seeing them at some point. But I understand that new blasters have priority :)
Planning to so a massive "silly episode" for episode 100 where I try to break as many blasters as possible.
The Alien blaster line was a Toys R Us exclusive line so not much of a mystery as to why it was so short.
I do believe that "rocking chair" is two words, so you did end up with a freebie.......
The alien menace has the coolest looking blasters, it's a shame there's been so little of them in the past few years
TRU died with it, If i remember correctly
@@Matt-md5yt You do, indeed.
You said ROSS and I immediately looked at the date this video came out lol
That Iron Man 2 blaster needs a paint job. It would look great in your colors.
I saw the Iron Man blaster, and just HAD to click!
For nesting springs, couldn't you use some craft foam to solidify the plunger head and have the k26 compress into that if it can't compress into the plunger head itself?
No, the only way to get enough compression is for the spring to get compressed into the plunger head.
Unscrewing the ravengers smartARs is very easy. Maybee you could build a 4×2 shotgun absolver with them?;)
Great stuff today. If the parts are similar to the Guardian Crossbow on the Alien blaster, maybe you can transplant parts to it?
wicked absolver go go
Forgive my ignorance but have you tried to k26 the trilogy ds-15 yet? I believe I’ve watched all your episodes and I don’t recall seeing it in any of them, and it’s a blaster I personally own and would be interested in seeing how it takes an upgrade
I have not.

Also, can the regenerator take a k26?
The blue ravager is actually a rare variant of the ravager, theyre normally orange
I have the first blaster you showed
Hey cap are those Stefan darts stuck in your dart catcher?
Yes
The Iron Man 2 blaster isn't super rare, though it's uncommon. There's only one Iron Man blaster thats very very rare and that's the Iron Man Firefly which I'd absolutely kill to have
That iron man 2 blaster would of made a good nic primrary with a inline clip and upgraded a bit.
What do you thing of making a sort of parallel series with flywheelers, like how much they can be improved with a simple (or not so simple) battery replacement?
I say go for it. I'd probably watch it.

Did you see Ezekiel's Stampede kit? I'm sure you'd love to take Eire to the next level.
I do not yet, but I want one. Not for EIR though.
You could get a new one, and take the broken gear, smush it into some kinetic sand and cast it with something
I love your videos man

Yay new gun stuff
So thus was the "flimsy blasters" episode, yes? I see :)
if the ravager has similar internals to the Guardian Crossbow, is it possible to use the ravager internals with a Guardian Crossbow to get better performance or rotation?
No, they are not similar enough to be interchangeable.
Does the auxiliary have a vehicle for transportation and has attack features that you manly use
No
Captain Xavier than you should try to make a man size Owen tank
Try the fort nite shot gun next I got one for Christmas and think it might be able to take it
Hopefully those new Ultra blasters will be spring powered...
Yes, please
Make the sling fire stock a n-strike stock attachment
I have! There is a file of Thingiverse for that. I used it to build my Stryfe Tommy gun.
Is it possible for you to look up a 3D model of it to 3D print the broken gear?
If someone had made a file for it, yes. As far as I know, no one has.
Captain Xavier I know this is completely unrelated, but you’re kinda the best guy I know to help fix blasters (heck you have a whole series about it) It’s a white retaliator from like 2013, the priming thing will slide back, but nothing happens when I press the trigger, it doesn’t even prime. imgur.com/gallery/ISjBNmx
You should get a resin 3d printer for cases like this
Have you tried to see if the springer part of the vulcan can take a k26?
Yes. It cannot.
Thanks! I’d guessed that it couldn’t but i figured you’d tried
Train Hope you didn’t break your camera when you hit it with the spring
I didn't.
What's with the aspect ratio during the intro?
...weird...no idea...it should not be like that...
Bro tried to put a K26 in a Rapidstrike 💀
Train!
Van you rear prime the Alien thingy (Well of course you *can* I'm just trying to suggest a repair.)
Pretty sure I mention doing just that in this video, don't I?
My exuberence deserves the snark this time. I accept the punishment.
SNARK! ;p
An old video, but a good one.
Hey I am a Nerf army veteran and soon joining the Airsoft Marine Corps
you might be able to 3d print the broken gear
If I had the file fornit, sure.
Rip ravager
Are you ever going to do more k26 and beyond?
Probably?
80 FPS out of a stock smart-ar blaster?! InTeReStInG....
My thoughts exactly.
The ravager is basically the G11 but not useful
That intro tho
Wait a minute, the intro's in 4:3!
Yeah...no idea why...I used the same template I always use...
I frankly don’t understand why so many mechanisms rotate upon firing rather than rotating on prime. The chance of jamming is greatly reduced...
I agree. I much prefer rotate on prime. I think they did it to improve performance with slamfire.
Hi
Sorry I'm late had to wait until lunch
hi
Can you k26 the fortnite hand cannon
Someday...
Captain Xavier from what I have seen it is internally a hotshock(basically)
This seemed like a rather sad episode overall
Still putting a k26 in the rapid strike,
I will make it work eventually! ;P
@@CaptainXavier stampede-rapidstrike can i get over powered
someone should make a full sentence using words from luke the sponsor
When’s the next featured fan builds
Today...once I finish editing it.
Oh
Hello
Hi
Settlers... of Catan?
That was my first thought, too...
Probably, he seems like the sort to play Catan. I'm not allowed to play Catan anymore. Not since...the Skittles Incident...
@@CaptainXavier ...is "the Skittles Incident" listed as a choice for your Storytime series?
Because it should be; it sounds intriguing...
@@MishraArtificer it is not. Some stories are better left untold...
@@CaptainXavier For our sake...or yours?
Any thing special for the 100th episode?
Yup
Can the Trilogy take a k26?
9:51 ... or use cad...
Yes, that too. Send me the file when you finish it. I'll wait.
