#nerf #3dprinted
I don't have a 3D printer. So here's my please. Please, Doc! Sell a kit of one of each. If you do, I'll be one of the first to purchase. Love ya, Doc. 🤘
I second that, I’d love to buy a shell variety pack!
i definitely agree, i don’t have a printer either but i need these shells
what country you from
Etsy sells them
I LOVE THIS BLASTER! Very compact, inexpensive, and has all the mod potential. I slapped my old MK2 barrel in my Pilot and the break action never gets old! Slaps with the AR left in because it has large plunger volume but to still have a comfy grip at the same time. Did I mention the great iron sights and the beautiful ringing sound that's made after you fire??
So should you or should you not take the ar out, or is there something else to take out for more fps
I actually remixed his short dart shell to use 17/32 brass. I also made a longer one that fits ~5" of brass, which is about the ideal barrel length for the Pilot's plunger tube.
What's that hitting? 120?
I’ve got about 6 inches of brass and a K26 in mine and get around 165fps!
Just got a 3 in 1 shell that clams it can hit 140 with a single short dart. Also got a mega shell as well. Thinking about changing the spring at some point to get even more power out of it.
Very Glad you did a review on this blaster and all the current printable shells and inline barrels on thingiverse. It’s been a lot of fun switching ammo types with the one I purchased earlier this week and I agree that this one’s going to be a lot of fun for the community. One question/comment I have about the review; What was the distance you were shooting at the targets with all the various types of ammo? It was hard to see in the video what the distance was (maybe I missed you mentioning it?). I feel like knowing the distance of the target from where you are standing would give us more of a good sense on how effective the “mods” are.
I'd love to see the safety double as a way to open the barrel.
Looking at the internals, you might be able to print a new safety switch but add a post to it for a spring (next to the screw mount). Then put the other spring post behind the trigger, on the mech that holds the barrel closed. That way when you push the safety forward to lock the trigger, the spring will pull the arm down just enough to let it open... The new spring would have to be stronger than the one at the bottom of the handle (the one keeping the barrel closed).
There’s a mod on thingiverse that gives you manual operation of the breech and deletes the auto open on prime. An absolute MUST for the inline clip stuff.
@@chrisboro3145 I've seen one added, but not one that incorporates the safety. I'd like to keep it ambidextrous for anyone who'd want to use it.
Who the heck puts a safety on a toy anyway 🙄
The Rival Pilot with these 3D shells makes the Breaking Wind by CYardNerf obsolete. Around ($75 + or -) less you have an injection molded blaster that does the same thing. Like you mentioned, @0:15 I agree with you saying that it is the best offering will see form Nerf for 2023.
I saw someone mod the safety switch to open the break action
Do you have a link? I tried, but could not conceive a way to make it work without heavy modification.
Please give the link dude, we’re begging.
We definitely want to get are hands on the Pilot, the Knockout was awesome and had loads of mod options. With the Pilot its even better and as shell fed nerf addicts then this is right up our street, right out of the box, just add shells! When we do get one then we'll also make are own shells, which will include a couple of spigot launcher shells for MegaXL and demolisher rockets 😃
I just got the Pilot and I can't love it more than I do. It shoots very hard and straight right out of the box. I really wish they made the same hop up on the Pilot for the Helios and Pathfinder. The previous Rival blasters would work so much better with the hop up tab the Pilot has. Anyways, 10/10 blaster would bang
Thank you for sharing this! Immediately fired up my printer to try these out.
Ahhh still need one!
Flux: "This is probably the best blaster of 2023" Hasbro: *makes Stryfe X*
Lol
I’m sorry no here’s why you can’t mod it it already has pro performance also it has no barrel attachment like the original Stryfe the pilot can take tons of different ammunition shells without modifying the blaster itself. I would say it’s better. The different types of ammunition it can shoot with shells is literally unmatched.
As a sidearm, yes. But I think the Styfe X is better as a primary.
@@RiptideX_ well yes as a primary but the sheer amount of ammunition the pilot can fire and the price it’s self puts it above the Stryfe X nothing can beat the pilot’s mod-ability stock and you know that but that’s why I think it’s 2023s best
I need to buy a 3D printer at some point so I can start dabbling in things like this. Only problem is, last time I tried using one, I couldn't even configure it to print right...
I need two and then I need some 50cal foam balls
Pilot is awsome
This is a great launch from Nerf. We can always count on Rivals. With the Pilot, for a cheap price you get multiple blasters. Is there any Ultra shells? Thanks for the video!
Foam.Blasted on Etsy sells Ultra Shells. I am also coming out with a version for the US.
@@adamrobertson9332 Oh awesome, anything for Canada, where I am?
@@nerftalk1163 Yeah, I will have international shipping available. I just shipped something to Singapore!
If you cut away a little plastic, you can make this open further. I did it to make it easier to load shells, which I found is not necessary, but it does make it so 50 cal shells fly out when you open it.
I absolutely love this blaster. Just ordered a 3 in 1 shell and a mega shell last night. Can't wait for the shell to come in the mail.
We NEED a shell ejection mod.
Great blaster! Tks for the video!
I have a double break-barreled sawed-off shotgun from a Chinese brand off Amazon that uses shells. I have a barrel tubes (from Worker and other brands) that I use on blasters like Nexus/Aeon/Conqueror to fling Mega XL darts better than my Boomdozer as well as for actual cosmetics like suppressors or flashhinders. Yes, the shells for my particular shotgun blaster work with this so I don't need to buy any of the specialty blaster shells. I did try using a barrel tube to fire a Mega XL dart using the Pilot, sadly it moved a little, but did not fully release itself from the end of the tube. Could just be that I didn't have a good enough seal on the outer sides of the barrel. Shoving an old school whistler in a shell and launching it from the Pilot was pretty satisfying :)
Great blaster. My new favorite. Thank you for the video!
I will say it again, Thank you for another long format video. It is my preferred way to get content.
Great video and great information. Between the Pilot and Fate Rival pistols have really become extremely versatile. I really like being able to have an in-line clip and a mega ready to go with a $10 pistol and few printed shells and I’m ready to go. Bravo Hasbro for making a great product.
A shotgun pistol? Sign me the hell up!
you could probably front load mega if you wanted
I've never found it compelling to load more than 1 Rival round in a chamber to achieve a decent single shot shotgun. But I get it. Some Nerfers like having that option available but I just don't care I guess. Some CZcamsrs are obsessed with overloading barrels and some are not. Great video man. I'm a new foam flinger who has gravitated heavily towards Rival but I don't care for the hopper fed blasters. I enjoy blasters like this that are properly single shot or magazine fed systems
Ive noticed with rival that you have to have really good trigger control when firing to maintain accuracy. I guess its because of the relatively low speeds so any amount of yanking on the trigger when firing will cause you to pull your shots.
In other words you have to be steady when firing. Imo
Bit of a nitpick but the shells should be modified to just be sleeves, so you can just slide another dart into the chamber without loading a shell
Im going to have a load out of rival pistols so basically I've got a knockout with a inline clip and I'm going to get a pilot to make it a single shot long range weapon im going to upgrade the spring and convert it to short darts
Where can I buy those gloves, DrFlux?!
This is a really cool video! I was wondering if you will be covering some possible modding for the destiny 2 crossover nerf blaster gjallahorn?
He didn't cover it but you can also shotgun load to rival balls into the thing because the plunger is powerful enough to shoot both out at a drop of about 20 feet per second so about 79 FPS.
Brass it and 10.5 kg spring gets about 200fps.
Which spring fits? I got a K25 in mine but it doesn't seem to do too much.
Long shot or lynx.
Can you just put a releaseable clip tab on the side of the barrel so that after you install your loaded inline barrel the breach won’t open until you undo that clip tab?
i need to pick one up when I get the chance to
Can you front load with the shell inside? Also what is the range of a 3 round 50 cal foam ball blast? I plan to make this blaster my permanent 3 round shotgun as an emergency blaster.
You can make the shells out of paper or cardboard
Awesome HVZ blaster
I'm generally not into single-shots and grip-priming, but seeing this as a break-action blaster and the mod potential is making me consider...
Now to see if anyone could try and turn this into a shotgun or a revolver...
Where do you guys get the 50 caliber foam balls
I did not think about inline clips
This could work well for nerf hyper ammo for a shotgun version
what is the green gun called that is above the last one
Would be great
Here are the following different types of ammunition that the pilot could use most likely with mods
Nerf N strike elite darts
Nerf mega darts
Short head darts
Nerf ultra darts
Nerf, mega XL missile darts
Nerf, 90s foam arrows, possibly
Nerf demolisher missiles
4.50 calibre foam balls
That is at least eight different types of ammunitions that it could possibly use with mods
By the way, is not to mention you can do that, without even internally modifying the pilot
I was just thinking how would a tripple barreled version off this pistol be like. Not a long barrel break action. Just a break action pistol with 3 barrels.
Don’t put the primer all the way
Does anyone know if the Pilot is on sale in stores in the UK yet ?
BUT CAN YOU FLIP IT CLOSED
flux you REALLY NEED to make a Arduino-built-in Nerf Blaster!!!!!!!!!
i have like 4 are you saying develop my own?
@@drflux Yep, get your C++ code and try to put it in the blaster(pls I wanna see u do it)
This is Jason
Can you use a single dart in the inline barrel?
Yes you can
@@drflux Thank you
I like that
How do I get one of those?😢
someone already make the bridge lever mod on reddit
No
For modding yes but for stock no
i cant for the life of me find the .50 foam balls you referred to in your video. Also, i cannot find anyone willing to print the inline clips for the short darts
I think monkeemods still sells .50 cal foam balls and etsy it a good place to get 3dprinted nerf parts.
How do you spell his or her name
I'm a arm chair player because of my health this blasters
Can someone who owns one please tell me if you can reload without taking the shell out?
Yes you can
@@coolblitzgaming141 thank you
Designed by the unspoken heros at Hasbro
Hold the thing together until you want it to break open.
I'm really confused. Somehow I got my gun with a shell and half darts to hit 178 FPS. Like what?
that sounds possible under the right conditions
It doesn't appeal to me at all. I'll take an adventure force ranger and barrel inserts.
Who needs a shell just stuff a tissue in the barrel
