    The problem with short mega is ALOT of events ban modified ammo. And other events say short mega doesn't count as mega darts for their special mega rules. Because cutting down mega kind of circumvents the "big dart" idea.

      I read people complaining about event rules, game modes, FPS caps all the time. I even read of people complaining about attending local events that are using game rules they found online from groups 2000 miles away. Here is the solution: play a local game using whatever the hell rules you want. It's absolutely ridiculous that I can't play a game using a Mega blaster ir a Boomdozer because of some bull$hit rules some douche bags made. It's nerf, play how you want.

      I agree, short mega defeats the purpose of the game balancing tradeoff. big dart = more power is kind of made pointless by making said big dart small again.

      ​@@avocadopeel7536Do half length and full length darts have different values? If not I don't see why you can't just apply the same logic, the short mega don't appear to be any more accurate and the ecosystem for them is pretty nonexistent. You could also make 5hem half as powerful, requiring 2 shots instead of 1. I like the idea because you could make mega shotguns that actually act like shotguns haha

  • @markfacebook
    @markfacebook Před 11 měsíci +4

    The fact that it's a grip-mag pistol with slamfire makes for an interesting proposition:
    Could you have it to where the trigger pulls back the slide AND fires the round, essentially giving it double-action?
    The Barricade has an awful trigger, but has a long enough draw that adding a gearbox that turns the draw into mechanical pull on the slide might get it to work IMO.

    • @CaptainXavier
      @CaptainXavier  Před 11 měsíci +4

      It might be possible...but certainly not feasible. The weight on that prime would be INCREDIBLY heavy. And it would be firing before chambering. Unless...unless the breach automatically reopens after firing like in a centurion. (though, I am leary of using the centurion as inspiration for anything) In that case if you could have it chamber and prime as you pull the trigger and then fire when the trigger is fully pulled. That could potentially work!

    • @markfacebook
      @markfacebook Před 11 měsíci

      @@CaptainXavier The Centurion wasnt perfect, but what what it tried to do it certainly has a place in the creative mechanism Hall of Fame.
      In a pistol form factor, I could see that being interesting for something small like short darts. As for the heavy trigger pull, im half-tempted to put a small motor and gearbox in to help with mechanical advantage on the trigger. But then im essentially making a pistol version of the Stampede.
      Which dont get me wrong, I dont hate the idea, but at that point if you're putting a motor in, just go all in and put flywheels.
      Kinda running into the Jeff Goldblum conundrum of "you were so occupied with COULD you do it, you didnt ask whether or not you SHOULD". Lol

    In regular half darts the dart head is a third of the entire length. In mega half darts the dart head is half of the total length. I believe we are cutting the mega darts too short.

      @runkurgan hey yeah? I would love to see the data you have collalated from your series of experiments testing various mega half-dart lengths that shows repeatedly what the optimal length is. That would be very useful information. :)

    • @CaptainXavier
      @CaptainXavier  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Because unless you have that you don't have a theory, what you have is a hypothesis. ;P
      But snark aside, I think it is a hypothesis with a lot of merit. There is almost certainly an optimal foam length to dart head ratio. But until someone does the aforementioned series of experiments, we won't know what it is. It might well turn out that this is the best ration. It could be that our current standard half-length streamlines are too long. We need the science!
