I've also been playing Nerf since I was 10 to 12 years old but I only have three blaster which are Maveric, Jolt and an Sharp Shot Dart Tag. Back then it was only the blasters my parent can afford to buy for me even though I would love to have a Deploy CS-6 or a Vortex Praxis. However, now that I'm already 21 yrs old, for the past month my girlfriend and I already purchased 6 great blasters and it was because of her that we purchased Nerf because she also can't afford to buy one when she was a kid and now we enjoy playing together. My point is, it is never too late to enjoy some things that we didn't enjoy before. Thank you for your great UA-cam Channel man! I hope you and your family will keep safe from covid.
Thanks so much, you stay safe too. I’m glad to hear you seem to have a great partner who knows we never have to grow up! And playing as an adult is a very fun time, I have some videos of friends and I playing and it makes me pretty happy!
I have an old Raider, and modifying the air restrictor and strengthening the spring, with a plunger tube buffer to deal with it brought it up to 90 FPS on my chrono. Not bad for a blaster I literally found in the trash at the curb walking my dog one evening about fifteen years ago.
@@maritimefoamYou can read a decade worth of forum posts screaming "You can't get any good power out of a reverse plunger Alpha Trooper or Raider!" but examining those blasters today reveals that's simply not the truth. They're not AS good as direct plunger designs, but they're not bad either.
Brilliant video thank you! Just aquired a rampage for free and looking forward to doing this mod! 🤙🏻 The explanation and talk at the beginning was particularly helpful!
I'm glad it could help! I will say, it's been pointed out by some talented modders that my chrono might be reading a little high, so if you are using a chrono and are lower, that is probably normal :P But whatever the actual number is, it works way better, and is still easy to prime thanks to the pump grip. My Retaliators with the same spring are now not that great for kids because of that top prime without much to grasp onto.
Kudos for trying harder. If i can get ANY nerf(specifically nerf) springer(dart blaster) to 100fps w just a spring upgrade im ecstatic and walk away lol.
This is very helpfull thank you very much I btw have a titan minigun elite series on wall power plug and shoot no slow firerate anymore I live in the netherlands btw Its very fun
Honestly I’m not 100% sure, you should think about joining Nerf Modders Welcome or Nerf No BS on Facebook! A lot of experienced Nerf people there who could probably help with that specific question!
I looked at the reviews for the rampage spring and they are mixed (many reports of it not being the same size), will any spring work? This is one of my first mods and I wanna be on the safe side
Question: do you have to pull the priming grip back quite fast to get it to catch? I'm trying to fix this problem in my rampage but i don't know how to
What are your thoughts on a 12kg spring for the blaster? I'm choosing whether to get the 7kg or 12kg but I'm worried the 12kg spring would be too heavy for stock Nerf internals
A few ambitious modders have converted the Raider to take Rampage internals, but the amount of shell-cutting required will probably take a serious toll on the sanity of those who attempt it...
1:43 Too old for it? That's actually funny when his uncle is knee deep in the same hobby and is probably twice or thrice his age. He's just at the wanna be cool kid age, people that has these kinds of hobby never stray too far from it once they get back into it again at some point 10 or 20 years down the line. Same for me with Transformers/mecha in general, I stopped collecting when I was like 13/14 cause I got into mmos and videos games and then I would spend money on those, Fast forward like 10 years and I get the itch and buy a single figure. That's all it took and now my personal home office is just a big mecha display room and I get to do my job in this room. My sibling is the one that actually likes nerf, she's the one that actually would buy 1 blaster every few years but about a month ago, she went to me and said "Wanna buy a nerf gun?" I was like sure, so we went around the city checking different retail store for the best places to get one and now a month later, were rabbit hole deep and is already looking and buying high end and high fps blasters out of the box or with minimal mods and have been checking our area if there's a nerf community here we could join. Plinking alone is honestly a good stress release but we hate it when we use regular nerf blasters and we can't really hit stuff hard, hence the rabbit hole into high fps stuff. Even my buddy who was laughing at me for getting into nerf also got into the modding aspect of the hobby, I made him play with our nerf guns one day he came by and the next thing you know, he's going around the city and other places checking thrift shops, marketplaces, and garage sales for nerf stuff to mod.
Haha, love this story, thanks for sharing! Yeah, when I say “too old for it” generally I think (if I remember correctly) kids just hit a zone of really wanting to “be mature” - it comes around for many of us :)
@@maritimefoam Thanks for reading too, I wrote it not expecting anybody to actually care or read it. I just wanted to share my experience about getting into and out and back into a hobby and dragging people in to join me as well. I've tried getting that friend into mech collecting and sure he'd buy a Gundam or two since he does like mechas but not on my buying level, but with the nerf thing surprised me, I made him play with our nerf then next day, he has bought a bin already from the market and was watching UA-cam for mod guides.
@@lanoche I feel like it’s 100% a hobby that can surprise people if they give it a shot with how much variety and if there is too it! I also read every comment! So I care haha. I’ll admit, I can’t keep up on all replies now though.

I get that haha

I btw have a titan minigun elite series on wall power plug and shoot no slow firerate anymore
I live in the netherlands btw
Its very fun
Sounds cool! I have one of those in a box ha
can you add a retaliator breach pusher thing to a rampage? you know the thing where the dart sits in before being fired? are they interchangeable?
Honestly I’m not 100% sure, you should think about joining Nerf Modders Welcome or Nerf No BS on Facebook! A lot of experienced Nerf people there who could probably help with that specific question!
I’m seriously considering putting rampage internals in a gear up Raider.
Had that thought too
@@maritimefoam I will legit send you a rampage and a raider for you to do that to for a video if you send it back to me after it’s done
Can I have links to the spring you used?
7KG spring from Out of Darts or even Amazon would work! I would go OutofDarts.com so you know what you are getting!
I looked at the reviews for the rampage spring and they are mixed (many reports of it not being the same size), will any spring work? This is one of my first mods and I wanna be on the safe side

Try upgrading the catch spring
@@laptopcat6673 thanks, I tried with a new rampage and an upgraded spring and it works

Way too much. Unless you’re switching everything to metal. I found 9kg iffy.
Gonna tackle this mod tomorrow night thabks fkr the video!
Good luck! Did this one awhile ago, who knows what bad advice is in there lol
A few ambitious modders have converted the Raider to take Rampage internals, but the amount of shell-cutting required will probably take a serious toll on the sanity of those who attempt it...
haha, tempting for the ultimate sleeper
Where can i find modding springs?
Outofdarts.com is an excellent place to start. Ordering from them you know that the spring you're getting will absolutely work for your project.
Sad it was a rampage and not a raider, I would’ve loved a blue fire extendable stock,
I have one of those! It's cool! The only reason to prefer a raider! :P
Where did you get the catch springs and trigger springs?
@outofdarts :)
@@maritimefoam alright, thank you

Hello brother i need the bullet reload item plz help me
Pardon?
@@maritimefoam I need magazine
Hey where did you get the spring?
Out of darts website! :)
I took off both notches because the audio wasn't clear and now my rampage is destroyed :[
Risk of modding! Always go slow when cutting!
@@maritimefoam is there a chance you can send that part ypu don't need to but can you?
