It’s great that people can purchase high-performance springers off the shelf, but being the old stone that I am, I prefer the good ol’ days of my modified Retaliator
@@thenerfherder9586I still live in those days because it still is incredibly powerful, and also it’s cheaper to do than buying 3d printed stuff. (Yes I’m aware of the nexus pro, but I can get more performance from this if I install a half dart kit with a long barrel and a 12kg spring)
"You can remove the silencer but it just looks dumb so.... don't do that." Legend quote. But the nostalgia dudebro😭my face lit up seeing the Strayven and Uzi again! those stryfes are some of the coolest blasters i've seen and I really enjoyed this vid thanks coop!
I'm more into springers and plinking, but it's still cool to see how far electronic mods have advanced, especially in Stryfe's, which I haven't seen on store shelves in 6+ years.
Woah...this is a trip. Been watching for a while on multiple accounts and man, I never thought I'd see some of these relics again. Thanks for the trip my guy!
The Strife at 14:20 reminds me of a Custom you did way back in the days. it was some NERF with a carry handle you cut off and added a flat top and picatinny to it. then you painted it tan with black details. that Blaster was the Dream of my Childhood
Throwback! I remember seeing that Rapidstrike in your 430 dart challenge, and I used to watch your Dahamer Swarmfire integration for an hour non-stop when I was 7! It would have been amazing if you featured the Poonbow to show how super high end nerf has changed, Good Video,Thanks for all the good memories Coop!
I’ve been watching since 2015, and even though I haven’t nerfed in 4-5 years, I do still watch all your videos. To me, the hobby progression is bittersweet. On one hand, it’s “look how far we’ve come” but also, Hasbro hasn’t changed with the times, which you’ve said before isn’t likely because liability. As you said in the 2022 review, they led the way for so long and it’s sad to see them fall behind.
Wow, the nostalgia is crazy! I remember these mods from back in the day, it's amazing to think how much has changed. Thank you so much for sharing this, it was a really enjoyable video! 💙
THE STRAYVEN AND THE RAPIDSTRIKE "UZI"! They are amazing. I've been watching coop for idk how long and these blasters are legendary. Thank you Coop! THANK YOU! (10:50) (18:06)
I wonder if the future of Nerfing is going to be more of the dart side than on the blaster side. Improving dart design for better accuracy even at lower FPS would be a really interesting change to the hobby. I’m a plinker, so high accuracy springers are what I really like. Seeing more accuracy would be really fun for me.
I remember "modding" a new gun was just a shell that made a stryfe look like a kriss vector and painting it to look cool Now I just finished adding a second flywheel cage to my ma40.
Out of all of these the Strayven is still one of the coolest blasters he modified Honorable mention goes to the Dahmer which is 2 Swarmers and a Rapidstrike combined
Yeah i remembered most of these from your old videos. Doesn’t the rapidstrike uzi used to have a switch and battery at the back? I remember building caliburns back then, now i just buy injection molded high performance blaster
was honestly expecting some of the Demolisher mods you did to pop up, got to see some of the other mods you did though! honestly im still using IMRs in my stryfe but i recently got a Dart zone spectrum so thats been the replacement for my stryfe Hope to see more mods from you in the future coop
For a kiddo like me I thought a 9kg fitted pump retaliator was performing at 100FPS and pretty good, but now that I think about all the other blasters like the DZP MK3 and all that I realize that its not really that great lol
As someone who mods, i think its an understatement to say that modding is dead, rather its more niche. If you're a competitive player u dont need to mod these days, but people still integrate and overhaul.
Stryfes are still fairly easy to come by in the UK but the Swordfish's smoother shell looks a lot nicer with body kits and we never got a clear Stryfe.
hey coop! its really interesting to see how modding has come along. also i have a question... where do you buy IMRs because i overided my stryfe thermister and im running it still with AA batteries. keep up the good work!
Hey coop772 I have a nerf war coming up and was wondering what is the best nerf gun I could get my hands, and is the nerf prometheus still a beast when it comes to nerf wars?
A modification is when you change and upgrade a stock item with aftermarket items in ways they were not designed to. So if they were designed to be able to do that with hardly-even-aftermarket parts... is it even a modification? Or just customization?
"painted clear" is my favorite Coop quote
Why is this so relatable
VERY relatable
and it’s not “there’s no n-strike barrel lug”???? can’t believe you
this whole painted clear thing drives me INSANE
The STRAYVEN!!! Only the OG coop fans know how legendary this one is. Absolute masterpiece. So much memories… thank you Coop (10:55)
But really… it’s just a jolt reskin
@@charlesyuannOoOoOoO! The truth revealed
indeed

YESSS AGREED
Wow, talk about memory lane, I’m 17 now I’ve been watching you’re channel since I was like 10 so this was really a big trip! Thank you

Springer Peasant
Coop is best youtuber confirmed?
eh
HammerShot
Not best but a good one indeed
Yes confirmed
Not "THE BEST" But a good one😊
I really appreciate your stance on realistic blasters, in that they should not be brought outside, but they can still be appreciated and had fun with!
The nostalgia hit from hearing that outro music for the first time in a good 2-3 years is immeasurable..
Woah...this is a trip. Been watching for a while on multiple accounts and man, I never thought I'd see some of these relics again. Thanks for the trip my guy!
yesss
Can't believe I've been watching Coop since 2015. Seeing the progression with everything here is crazy ngl.
Recently got into Nerf a little over a year ago. Whenever I need insight, I go to you. An OG of the hobby.
Great videos!
the nostalgia is real in this one, i remember watching way back in the day since 2015

Didn’t coop have to sell that poonbow 😢
He did? That’s sad

This is a nostalgia hit! I'm glad Coop still has these older mods!
I love mod showcases because it makes me remember cool blasters I like
Wow, the nostalgia is crazy! I remember these mods from back in the day, it's amazing to think how much has changed. Thank you so much for sharing this, it was a really enjoyable video! 💙
great to see the mod content coming back!
Really had the nostalgia for the favourite blaster "Stryfe"...
This is a great trip down memory lane! It's awesome to see a lot of the mods that really roped me into the hobby. Thanks for making this!
I remember wanting the rapidstrike uzi so bad when i was younger. I feel so old now

The world if Coop still had the PoonBow (hands down my favorite mod anybody has ever done.)
The Strayven was a blast from the past.
Happy to see the black and grey Kriss vector from shooting stuff with tacticool blasters!!
“Go buy a Kronos, it’s a better blaster”
“Go buy a Harrier, it’s a better blaster”
-Same epic dude
Awesome video, cool to see the OG mods again!
Ah yes the strayven, from the old days when full darts were the standard and half darts were merely a curious side option called "steffens"
I still think it’s funny that we call our hobby nerf considering how far we’ve come from using nerf branded blasters
Coop those are incredible mods brings back so many memories seeing them again
The first stryfe in the video has an AK-12B style tactical folding stock.
i remember watching some of the original mods long long ago
the STRAYVEN is still one of the coolest looking blasters ever made
A trip down memory lane with the best!
I always liked the Strayven, thought it was an awesome mash-up but I think the KRISS Vector Stryfe is ma fav =D
Nice review down memory lane. ^_^
Great as always Coop! Love your channel!
I really want to see you actually mod a nerf blaster, I think that would be a great video!
I remember "modding" a new gun was just a shell that made a stryfe look like a kriss vector and painting it to look cool
Now I just finished adding a second flywheel cage to my ma40.
coop i been watching your youtube videos for like 6-7 and I gotta say you have grown as a person and as down memory lane youtuber.
Those are nice and best mods to your Nerf and offbrand foamflinging blasters Coop.
As always, quality videos. This one is a trip down memory lane, thanks.
Out of all of these the Strayven is still one of the coolest blasters he modified
Honorable mention goes to the Dahmer which is 2 Swarmers and a Rapidstrike combined
Coop's actually using springers. SPRINGER PEASANT!! GO BUY A STRYFE! Oh, they're crazy expensive too now?! Damn it.
Drinking game: take a shot whenever you hear coop say strife.
Yeah i remembered most of these from your old videos. Doesn’t the rapidstrike uzi used to have a switch and battery at the back? I remember building caliburns back then, now i just buy injection molded high performance blaster
was honestly expecting some of the Demolisher mods you did to pop up, got to see some of the other mods you did though!

Wow, just wow. These are awesome to see these again.
Shouldda shown screenshots of the POONBOW too. Great vid, Coop!
The nostalgia, holy moly man!
So sad to think that the LEGENDARY POONBOW is gone😢😢😢
This was a trip, one I really enjoyed
I loved this video. Been watching for a while and seeing all these blasters again was so much fun. I would have loved to see firing demos, though!
As someone who mods, i think its an understatement to say that modding is dead, rather its more niche. If you're a competitive player u dont need to mod these days, but people still integrate and overhaul.
hey coop I've watched your videos for 6 years now good work
Back when the retaliator mod kit was the meta springer..
Thanks for the reviews, they are super helpful.
Stryfes are still fairly easy to come by in the UK but the Swordfish's smoother shell looks a lot nicer with body kits and we never got a clear Stryfe.
hey coop! its really interesting to see how modding has come along. also i have a question... where do you buy IMRs because i overided my stryfe thermister and im running it still with AA batteries. keep up the good work!
PoonBow still my favorite of your mods.
that harrier looks soooo nice
Good to see these again!
Nice blasters! The Honey Badger Stryfe is my favorite!
I think we all know what you were going to say when you were talking about how you treated your strayven
I want to see nerf put their epic cosmetics on high performance blasters.
10 years from now there will be a new ammo type, just like those cheap Amazon shell ejecting blasters but BETTER
Enjoying the new modding content, coop!
Love them color combos Dudebro.
Great blasters and mods! A couple of these would get you turned into a pencil outside though LOL
Love all your nerf arsenal so good 😎👍
IMRs and Trustfires for setting your blaster on fire 🤣
Putting rifle stocks on Nerf blasters reminds me of that meme about Ukrainian tankers putting ERA on Leopard 1 tanks.
I miss the poonbow, his best mod ever imo
I think sold it 😢…
Damn, I remember when Worker was just that weird cheap chinese company when you just need a couple extra mags or a replacement trigger or smth
Please make a video specifically for your Nerf Scar Stryfe.
Hey coop772 I have a nerf war coming up and was wondering what is the best nerf gun I could get my hands, and is the nerf prometheus still a beast when it comes to nerf wars?
Does the Swordfish Vector frontguard take the N-Strike 25 rd mag? I could believe the stick-in part of it may be too short.
Coop idk if u know but u can shotgun load up to 8 rounds in the worker harrier 😂 thats the most ive been able to shoot
A modification is when you change and upgrade a stock item with aftermarket items in ways they were not designed to. So if they were designed to be able to do that with hardly-even-aftermarket parts... is it even a modification? Or just customization?
A 20mins coop video, man you spoiling me😂
Strayven brought back so many memories
What are basic thermo bypass mods? Coop mentioned.
Any Chance of a comeback of shooting stuff with Tacti-Cool blasters?
Nice. Also would you switching to the worker 23 short dart mags or just stick with the 18 short talon mags
You mean out of darts koda magazine correct?
Curious how you painted your Kirin…type of paint, technique etc. Want to address mine.
Hey coop! I got a Nerf War coming up soon in my area, Wondering if the NERF Modulus Recon MKIII would be a good gun to bring! Let me know please!
This was a cool video. Thank you so much for sharing. Take care.
I wish there was a full auto worker harrier
WHOA THE STRAYVEN IS BACK?
How can I do mods without my mom yelling at me to not do mods?
I think it’s strange that nerf is now a very bad company with bad blasters nowadays but the nerf game has never been better
Imagine a half dart Kriss Vector with slanted talon mags; it would look like a real Kriss Vector.
No need to imagine. Worker have half dart Kriss Vector kits.
Man, Worker have everything....I just Google Nerf something and their name always pop up
Please can you review the Elite 2.0 Operator BD-2, it has operator in the name so I’m expecting lots of tatics
I honestly wanna see coop review the qwk challenger blaster
Question: why isn't everyone switching from lipos to Li-Ion batteries. Titan Power are making them now
Bro I can't get my hands on a stryfe, I swear you have them all!
What grit did you use to get the paint job to look so well on the Harrier?
