This is 7 years old now… is this what aging feels like? But seriously while watching this video I was reminded of how your UA-cam channel was basically my version of Tv as a kid. I watched every video you posted (still do after 1/2 a decade) and modified my blasters to be in the same style that you made your’s, with citadel paints and using the pre moulded lines. I know you have had your struggles these last few years but if nothing else know that you quite possibly inspired hundreds of thousands of young kids to peruse a hobby that taught them mechanical inclination and useful life skills. It was my dream as a kid to meet you. I hope you realize the incalculable good you have implanted on thousands of kids, muse included. From one fan, Thank you
Incredible work coop! I wish I was as talented as you! But I can't mod, so in HVZ I just run a stock Stryfe, but your loadouts helped inspire me for mine.
I'd suggest doing basic lock removal to make it far less annoying. Google "stryfe lock removal" to find some good tutorials. You'll need some eyeglass screwdrivers, though.
Honestly, if you're not uncomfortable with the extensive editing/rendering, I personally wouldn't mind an hour long mod process video. Especially as someone who doesn't do Nerf, but just likes these sort of videos.
I feel comfortable in saying this is your best work yet! The curvy contour of the crossbow shell works beautifully with the smooth Apoxie Sculpt work. Fantastic!
+Elorram Basdo Just The Way Coop Wanted It To Be. But Coop Shouldve Done Something Like The Rapid Strike, With A Space To Put Your Fingers In And Clear The Jam, While Having The Top Lookin' Supah Tacti-cool!
Dear Frank Cooper, can you make a repeat of the 430 dart challenge with Stryfe, but with the Poon Bow? Just add a Red dot, whatevernred dot you want. By- Carl Hedemalm and TACTICS!!!! #FlywheelMasterRace!!!!!
At first I thought it was a really stupid idea to use the old Crossbow for a mostly cosmetic integration. But then I saw the finished product and wished I could do this! Good job!
Keep on going, and you may be doing something along these lines in the future. The Poonbow is not the absolute pinnacle of modding, and although it's among there, anyone who thinks no one has ever done better has obviously not seen enough. Besides, an Artifact flywheel cage and Hellcats will have more performance than this for much less.
+LinkTheNerfKid try asking it in superfluously fancy English, i.e. "Ladies and gentleman of the comment section, I do inquire to know the title of the musical composition that has been edited into this video presentation, that which I have just viewed. It is to my knowledge that is obviously not the work of the composer Darude, and thus I would ask that any devious individual refrain from suggesting that is the title of the work, for I have long tired of this stale ruse." it might not set off the autonomous response of "sandstorm" since you don't exactly have the given "what song?" question that triggers it. only people with a half decent vocabulary could even decipher it, so you filter out a lot of them right there
I can't believe you actually sold this. I really hope you didn't sell this for like 500, 1000 or 2000 dollars, but like half a million, because you created something so extremely unique that at some point it should belong in a museum.
Everyone in my class loves Nerf, not one of them have owned a Stryfe or modded anything so they were like "holy meme that is so cool" when all I did was use ultrafires but now LiPo power is my cup of tea
FULL ARTICLE BELOW: Modifications > The POONBOWposted Sep 24, 2015, 4:31 AM by Coop772IntroductionWhy ruin a Crossbow? What's the point? What was the underlying goal of the project... It was to rustle jimmies. Seriously, that was the number one goal of this project decided within the POON discussion forums long before the materials were purchased or the modification list was solidified. Too often I hear ridiculous comments about the Crossbow being the 'best' Nerf blaster and I thought it would be funny to hack one up just to watch people get butthurt about it. Don't get me wrong, I like the Nerf Crossbow. It has a comfortable shell with decent modification potential. But if you want to effectively use a Crossbow in a nerf war, the best modification you can do is to effectively transplant a homemade into it rendering the Crossbow dead. At that point, why not just build a homemade? That is my opinion. Everyone digs this hobby for different reasons, so don't let my opinion stop you from modifying and fielding a Crossbow at your Nerf wars if you'll enjoy using it. After some planning and tossing around different budgets for the project, I decided to pretty much throw as much money at the project that was needed to ensure I couldn't look back and say "upgrading [part] would make it better." With that mentality, this project has ended up costing the most out of any of my Nerf projects of the past. The whole cost is not visible in the final project, much of the funding was used for R&D to confirm theories about performance gains when using certain items (wiring,switches, batteries, integration materials, etc.). Modifications- Electronic locks removed- Mechanical locks removed- Flywheel housing and flywheels replaced- Xtreme 180 motor replacement- Low resistance wiring- Rev switch replaced- Rewired to Deans connector for LiPo battery- Battery tray cleared out to fit LiPo battery- Crossbow shell integrated- Rapidstrike rail integrated- LEDs added with "POONBOW' illuminated in stock Paint Job- Black vinyl dye primer- Gray base coat- Blue accents- Pink details- Matte clear coat
that is my favorite blaster mod on you channel, but you should add a barrel extension to make it look a bit better (you are the best, thax for being born)

I would love that
me 4 ..would be cool
looks so rubbery and satisfying to see man
good job
funkyREX rubbery??? Wtf
TH3 TURTL3 GAM3R the blue parts look rubbery like shrink rap rubber
that sounds like something coop would say as a sex pun
Who else just thought "holy flippin tactics batman" when they saw this?
ME !
HOLY FREAKIN TACTICS INDEED MY DUDEBRO
Me
We all did
Every single human on the planet thought that regardless if they saw the video or not
You took apart a cross bow and a blue stryfe. Thats alot of commitment to this build coop.
not only is this one of the best integrations I've ever seen, it's also a top tier stryfe.

I found this channel by accident and I'm glad I did

This is hands-down the coolest looking mod I've seen to date.
Look at the strayven or other similar integrations by Co-op.
Too bad he sold it
Alec Tan The Apache no he didn't
The Three People I've seen it in newer videos as well as he said it was his primary and he would not sell it
Alec Tan The Apache yeah
in his arsenal overview video he said that someone offered him an absurd amount of money for it, so he sold it.
me no
Then there’s me who thinks tapping a toilet paper tube to end of my barrel as a mock suppresser looks tacti-cool
if i wanted to buy it what would you say as a price (not that one but one you make extra if you get it)
+NormalDutchGamer I'm not offering commissioned work and The POONBOW is not for sale.
ow ok did not now but stil great build
+Coop772 I wish I could have the internals for the crossbow and the crossbow handle.
+Coop772 nice gun
+Coop772 I will give you 10 grand for it.
Coop this is maybe your best project yet

That was my joke D: counsidince?????
That joke is best used when an inedible object is wasted, or broken.
Good try though. ;)
Waste of Time it was wasted for the stock

Badum tss
Get it?
No?
Waste of Time m
2:52 THE CAT IS BACK
The Cat Shall Live On FOREVER!!
Did you have an extra 90’s gun when you sawed that one?
Um Coop... how do you use the jam door?
He doesnt need to - it wont jam
Evan Myers Simple. You can't.
jam doors are for camper scrubs
No need
You don't
3:27 Every Springer PEASANT out there who loved the Crossbow.
Now go and wreck everyone in HVZ. Heck, it could be Humans Vs Zombies Vs Coop and you would still win.
Franklin Cooper v. Zambies
Coop772 should modify a jolt and give it this paint job
Suicide Jolts are Bae
He did, its jolt reskin
this is kinda sad to watch knowing that he doesn't have it anymore
how did he lose it?
@@grog6300 he sold it a long time ago
i knowww it was such a good mod
Holy hell I remember when this video came out. You've progressed your channel so much in a great way.
Hey, you know what, your mod is SO GOOD, there's nobody complaining that you cut up a nerf bow.
awesome blaster but I wanted to tell you ITS A JOLT RESKIN
Like the leds. Makes it that much more special ;)
why it called poonbow?
Papa Scoots it says poon in the stock
His nerfclan is called poon
Cuz it's poo
Jk this blaster is amazing.
HE
I feel comfortable in saying this is your best work yet! The curvy contour of the crossbow shell works beautifully with the smooth Apoxie Sculpt work. Fantastic!
Captain Bojangles McPoonsnatch is a proud dad. This is a really freaking cool gun, good to see it wasn't just "another crossbow"
coop what you do is awesome your my favorite Nerf youtuber keep up the good work :)
Do you work for Nerf if not you should apply you'll probz have like a 95-100% chance of getting the job,bro you're amazing.
Perfect blaster till someone offered him a shitload of money
The fact he used the oats movie final battle music makes me happy
Coop: Cuts a crossbow into pieces
Moders: Wait, that's illegal
Why are Nerf guns today so complicated back then there were only like 2 parts
Well they do shoot at least 30 ft farther nowadays, so I wouldn't say it is all bad.
I ment inside parts

2:54
The Cat: ( *War flashbacks intensify* ) "GOTTA GO FAST!"
don't you need the jamdoor??
Nah.

Stop individually capitalising every word.
Dear Frank Cooper, can you make a repeat of the 430 dart challenge with Stryfe, but with the Poon Bow? Just add a Red dot, whatevernred dot you want. By- Carl Hedemalm and TACTICS!!!! #FlywheelMasterRace!!!!!
Too bad he doesn't have it anymore.
Oh thx for telling me
He don't have it
2:54 am i the only one who noticed the cat run by
No
if you thought you were the only one you are a idiot
well people with balls arent really idiots, btw i have a iq of over 160
their? that is no wear near the correct grammar
+Beannie “Beannieplays” Plays balls have nothing to do with IQ...
At first I thought it was a really stupid idea to use the old Crossbow for a mostly cosmetic integration. But then I saw the finished product and wished I could do this! Good job!
coop is the only person i know who would gut an entire crossbow just for it's stock
POONBOW coming to all good retailers!
(I seriously want this ;____;)
Ace64 Yes
Commission someone to remake it lol. Bc he sold it.
Ace64 Yes
(Though keep in mind it'll be REALLY, REALLY expensive.)
And I thought I was good when I put 180s in my Stryfe
Keep on going, and you may be doing something along these lines in the future. The Poonbow is not the absolute pinnacle of modding, and although it's among there, anyone who thinks no one has ever done better has obviously not seen enough.

Song? And If someone says fucking Darude Sandstorm I will fight you. I'm fucking serious and that joke is fucking old and not funny anymore.
+LinkTheNerfKid It's Darude - Sandstorm.
Self fulfilling prophecy with that butthurt comment to start things off, lol.
+Coop772 god damn it Coop
+Coop772 seriously though I want to know the name of that song
+LinkTheNerfKid try asking it in superfluously fancy English, i.e. "Ladies and gentleman of the comment section, I do inquire to know the title of the musical composition that has been edited into this video presentation, that which I have just viewed.

+LinkTheNerfKid Darude - Sandstorm :^)
coop that's the best use of the crossbow ever you.What a genius.
Honestly coop I think that this is the best way to demonstrate a beautiful mod
Glove snaps in the middle of the night and coop is standing next to your bed
Totally worth tearing apart the expensive crossbow
Love the face coop, when you snapped those gloves!!!
The noise of the Dremel sped up gives me the chills it sounds like the dentist drilling my teath
The gray on the gun looks like rubber omg so smooth
The intense sanding and the paint job goes very well , i really want one of these
I can't believe you actually sold this. I really hope you didn't sell this for like 500, 1000 or 2000 dollars, but like half a million, because you created something so extremely unique that at some point it should belong in a museum.
It's sad that he sold it for $70.
Source
No source then, huh?
the glowing letters is a pretty awesome addition
“I never wanna get rid of it”
Eventually sells it because someone offered a lot of money
This is the cleanest integration EVER
I wish you would've carved a notch in the crossbow "hood", it's that thing where the top barrel was. It would work really well as a sight
The only sad part is the fact that the crossbow is a collectable, but the POONBOW is awesome
“I never wanna get rid of it” sells it
The cat at 2:50 made me laugh. He just like "oh nuuuu! The Hooman is using the foam launcher again!!!"
Bro such a great blaster but your personality has changed for the better
At 2.54 Coop's cat is running like a black version of the cheetah
This is definitely one of the best blasters I have seen
Everyone in my class loves Nerf, not one of them have owned a Stryfe or modded anything so they were like "holy meme that is so cool" when all I did was use ultrafires but now LiPo power is my cup of tea
You should have done red orange LEDs, it would have looked like a borderlands fire damage smg. Awesome mod either way
THE SONG IS "CANT SLEEP" BY GUNNAR OLSEN
i’m glad this was on my recommendations
I bet a ton of people are terrified from watching this because they've been looking for a nerf cross bow for there whole life
putting on the gloves was funny AF
I live the feeling you get when it's super slippery
my gosh that was a tight spread of elite darts!
Wow, most professional ive ever seen. ever
I think thats the best mod youve done tbh
This is such a cool blaster! I am very jealous.

thats the smoothest nerf i ever seen
If the groupings are so tight, wouldn't you benefit from using a sight of some sort? A red dot or iron sight might work.
I'm surprised you didn't put the poonbow in your personal favorites playlist
me too
Those movie posters in the background must be quite dented now!
HOLY CRAP THAT THING LOOKS AMAZING!!!! GREAT JOB COOP!!!!!!
This mod is my fav that Coop did
It basically works just like the stryfe but I guess as coop would say its just for the tacticool looks.
Lol tacticool cat tactically sprinting at 2:53
That's the best modded blaster I've ever seen!!!!!!!!!!
The paint job is so smooth ;)
everyone gangsta until the crusader upgrades his crossbow to smg
You should've added a Stealth Ops Kit barrel extension it would have looked so freaking cool
that is my favorite blaster mod on you channel, but you should add a barrel extension to make it look a bit better (you are the best, thax for being born)
Beautiful. The best Stryfe around
Gigity,I like what mr cooper did with the gloves
Looks smoooooth, and kinda like it's organic!
"I never want to get rid of it," sells it later.
They offered him like 15K bucks for it. Wouldn't you also sell it?
