- Today we are talking about one of my favorite blasters to come out in the last year. Problem is, it has a major flaw...

My only complaint was the slickness of the stock so I replaced it with a Worker buffer tube stock. Like many, I only use Worker Talon mags and the one Seagull mag with this blaster so I've not experienced the o ring issue. I do wish Worker would release an Orange magazine (Dragon Claw) for this blaster but I reached out to them and they said they had no plans to do so.
That not surprising, the orange was a special order just for OOD and they didn’t start making the matching mag colors til after those were available iirc. But I agree that would be cool. Luckily the 18 rounders come in orange anyway!
I've seen folks get the seagull up to 300 fps using a few sabre parts, the 1.6x300 spring and a spacer I think? I think there's also a hole in the plunger tube that can be sealed as well. Good luck!
Unfortunately, They are not using standard 1g darts to get those numbers. I’ve already gone through those combinations . It takes 1.8 cut swift springs to get that out of this blaster. And the prime is god awful at that.
Also, I would advise against covering that hole as it actually provides a small amount of acceleration at the beginning of the stroke, releasing the plunger rod. And it can mess with your blaster at lower FPS
Awesome! Thank you so much for the informative and thorough review! Very helpful to know about Koda compatibility.
Glad you found value in it! The next vid is gonna be a wild one so stay tuned
Thank you for the info and your opinions. Take care.
Thanks, you too!
Great video man.
@@samdavidson6483 thank you!
Great video. I am looking forward to the mods you made to it.
Thanks! Just to clarify, I didn’t mod it. The blaster that I teased at the end of the video about 18:31 is not a seagull, it’s a harrier that I modded to be as small as a seagull but significantly more powerful.
As someone who’s done the Koda compatibility mods, it’s really not that difficult to do and totally worth it if you have the tools. The seagull is still one of my favorite blasters and I get a lot of use out of mine
Agree it’s pretty easy to do!
How do you do it?
@@Hamboadloaf there’s a printed part that replaces the mag release with a tooth about a mm or two higher. You gotta cut out space in the shell for that, and then cut and bend the dart gate up a little bit to account for the higher placement of the feed lips. Took me about 10 minutes with dremel and some scotch-brite
@@IkAAris521 that’s wonderful to know! Thank you so much!
I've taken some 220 grit sandpaper on the trigger guard of my Fire Rat as it was also giving me the sharp edge feel. The plastic is thick enough so that you can round off the edge enough so that it sits more comfortable in your hand. It's a bummer that this one is made of metal. I wonder if someone could make 3d model of a more rounded trigger guard for it.
Id argue that the issue is more of a Mag issue rather than a blaster issue. The blaster is made to work with worker Talon magazines and not necessarily Koda or Tachi mags as their feed lips are shaped differently. Plus I don’t think that Kodas are really necessary on a Springer. 15 Rd talons with or without an extension are more than enough in my experience
I might have been on board with that logic if the worker harrier didn’t exist… but it does and doesn’t suffer at all from this issue.
Kodas are not necessary in casual play, that’s true. But pretty much every competitive team in the US has at least one set of kodas on their team with many having only kodas.
It’s the durability of kodas that make them so appealing to comp players. And many tournaments divide ammo in sets of 20 darts so it’s easier to count. Plus although the spring strength is not necessary for a springer, if you have teammates running fly wheels or AEGs … you want to run max compatibility in case they need mags from you.
@@kingofgames234 oh I thought the harrier had the same issue. I don’t use Kodas so I wouldn’t know. But I might since I just got a Spirit :P
@@Seththenerfer yeah the harrier works perfectly with both kodas and tachis. That’s part of why I chose to do the cut down harrier mod for Maryland mayhem tournament instead . Got a build guide I’m currently working on for that and in it I explain more of why I did that. But kodas contributed
I put the xyl unicorn frontgrip on it and a better buffertube stock. The stock buttstock is not comfortable for people with long arms The iron sights are fantastic. Put a worker 8° Bcar on it for almost perfect accuracy.
Agreed on the unicorn front grip, I also use that one! Using the GFZ BCAR on mine
I put a $50 red dot on mine. The iron sights are too low to get a proper sight picture (for me at least) and are not adjustable.
@@melntess yeah I think I’m one of the few that prefers a super low height over bore. Most people would prefer your set up. On my Lynx I actually ran a set of risers under the iron sights to get the up where I wanted them. I actually use a $50 red dot WITH my irons inside the window on my comp set up. I might post about it later if people are interested
@@kingofgames234 that's how I had mine, co witnessing on the irons. Then I realized that I'd rather just shoot blind if my sight battery died than use the irons. 😂
@@melntess oh I see what you mean. But I actually have my irons for one distance and my optic set for a much further distance… I use them simultaneously. Depending on how far or close my target is.
Interesting compatibility issue. I've never run into it because I have a few dozen Talons in my arsenal and I don't think I've ever even tried to use the lone Koda in my stash with the Seagull.
I test all the mags I own with pretty much every blaster I review but also my entire team uses kodas . So I had thought about switching to this blaster from the Val M so I can share mags with my team. My usual primary uses reverse angled talon mags 😭
Thanks for the video. I’m having the same O ring issues with the seagull. Could you share what O ring size I should get, or a supplier that sells them?
Can you do a vid on the mod to fix the koda issue? I’d greatly appreciate it
Is that a fingerboard on the wall that’s sick
Yes… yes it is haha it’s a Santa Cruz tech deck iirc. Good eye! 👀
@@kingofgames234thanks it’s also cool with the ghost on the bottom
@@UGooD45 thanks, my can variant collection is getting out of hand 😂
@@kingofgames234it bigger then mine
Big blind is still my fave on the new album ❤
So good 🙌
17:57- I am some people
Oh trust me, WE KNOW 😂
does yours prime get crazy stiff on the 1.6 250 and the 1.6 300 spring too? Mine does
What issues
Does worker have an official website?
@@Acryodite not that I know of . When I say “directly from worker” what I mean is that it’s a first party up grade. I should have worded that differently.
@@kingofgames234also have you herd of Brooklyn Tony’s flywheeler there’s not hardware kits for it but it looks promising also it’s hardware is pretty cheap it only needs inserts and electronics. You should check it out
@@kingofgames234 have you herd of the 3d designer Brooklyn Tony he has a flywheeler that does not need a computer to work just basic electrical components and hardware I suggest checking him out
