    Yes! I thought it would be ages before we saw another upload, but you had content lined up for us! Love the nerf projects, I used to do research on modifications, early CZcams days but never performed any myself. There was a double barrel "Buzz-Bee" nerf gun I thought would be amazing if it shot more accurately. The darts were loaded into plastic "shells." Very cool double barrel design. From old models to new, so many design tweaks are possible!

      That one has a spring in the barrel, which pushes against a part of the shell and is locked into the barrel by some plastic bits at the back of the shell and closing the blaster releases those catches and when you open it, the shell ejects.

    This technique is called "shotgun loading" and you can do it with some stock nerf blasters! I've been out of the nerf sphere for a while so it's hard for me to think of any examples off of the top of my head, but still.
    I saw your other nerf modding video too and I'm a big fan! I like how you (seemingly?) don't have much experience with nerf modding, nor do you seem influenced by what people are already doing/have already done. It's very fresh and entertaining ^^

    You should see if you can print off a barrel that holds those "mini" rival balls and have them closer together, as well as a new rotater that rotates it less for every prime so you can shoot three shots and have more shots (if that makes sence) very cool idea with the stronger spring! It looks like it adds a good bit of fps.

    I remember watching vamp somethin YEARS ago, when rival first came out. He complained of how expensive they were and looked for chinese knockoffs, found some for cheap that worked great BUT were too small in diameter to make a good seal with the rival blasters or run reliably through flywheels. It might be worth it to order some chinese knockoffs and see if they work better in this niche application!

    former spring manufacturer here. if you want to shorten a spring by a few milimeters you can infact put both ends to a grinder and hone the ends flat. almost no preformance of the spring is lost this way. and the thing that the spring will seat in wont have to change. this is done all the time when producing model specific springs.
