Note to self: Practice performing back-flips into cover. I recently picked up 3 of the Talons.....can't wait to try them out in my Prophecy (once I have time to assemble it). Great job on comparing the 2.
Awesome to hear the Talons work well. I was considering getting a set of Katanas for my Caliburn, but the Talon's price and actual availability sealed the deal. Thanks for the quick, straight to the point review.
Glad you liked the review, I try to keep them brief and to the point. Did you get the new magwell for Caliburn which takes Talon or do you plan to just use Worker's adapter?
I found the Talon adaptor very tight in thr Caliburn magwell, and took some pying to get out. It fitted perfectly in a Longshot and an Xzues. So i may go with Slugs magwell that accepts both.
Sad that i received my katanas a month before the announcement of talons, otherwise i would've bought talons hands down. Cost, build, and the fact that your product arrives quickly rather than waiting months or even years is a far better selling point
Good video. It is nice to see a full comparison of these mags. I now have 5 of each, so I haven't fully bought into either ecosystem. However, I'm hoping to catch some people selling out their Katanas to pick some up cheap.
I haven't ran either in a game, but I lean a bit towards Katana. Mostly because of 3D printed options like the Vorpals that give flexibility on capacity. Although I'm sure that there will probably be Talon knockoffs soon enough.
You say that Katana mags are not compatible with Worker breaches without a specialty designed after-market forward adapter. I have this problem. What is this forward adapter and how does one procure it? Thank you for another excellent review.
There are other alternatives that are a lot Cheaper then Katana Mags but still work with Katana Mag Wells as well. This includes 3D print Magazines (I'm saying this because of the designs for two of Mr. Heath Pant's Designs that use the Katana Mags and the worker mags done work with his mag wells.
Only downside of Talons is that they can't be used in things like the Pigeon or other homemade blasters. Have you given any thought to obtaining a few 3d printed Katana-compatible mags, like Vorpals? They seem to have some of the advantages of Talons, while still being backwards compatible.
I think u forgot to mention one advantage katana has over talon, and that it has the dry fire prevention unlike talon. I still think talon is worth more for the price though :D
True, Katana does have that if you remove the tabs. I wonder how long it will be before someone 3D prints a new follower for Talons with that functionality.
1 in the morning and you upload a video. Looks like I'm staying up longer
Sorry to keep you up, hehe.
@@BradleyPhillipsYT Your review of the Talon will help me sleep lol

@@BradleyPhillipsYT To be honest your mention of the magwell was the first I've heard so I'll definitely be looking into it.

Might be able to sell the Katanas and change to Talon.
Considered it, but after everyone at my locals sold theirs off for low prices it doesn't make it as desirable to sell. Better off to have both
Good video. It is nice to see a full comparison of these mags. I now have 5 of each, so I haven't fully bought into either ecosystem. However, I'm hoping to catch some people selling out their Katanas to pick some up cheap.
Which do you prefer?

Another greatly appreciated informative vid. Thanks for this.
Annnnnnnd you beat me, god damn it.
Haha, were you planning on doing the same video? I thought you really liked your new katanas.
My mate bought some and keep them at mine, so no brainer really. I’m staying with kmags as I have already bought in to the eco system.
If you didn't have the katana already, which magazines would you go with now?
You say that Katana mags are not compatible with Worker breaches without a specialty designed after-market forward adapter. I have this problem. What is this forward adapter and how does one procure it? Thank you for another excellent review.
They're 3D printed and obtainable from people like CreatewithEzekiel on Etsy. My latest video shows them.

Late to the party. Do you have a name or link to the pistol mag pouch?
A bit late but will the worker talon mags fit in the kriss vector kit?
Link to mag pouches? Are they just Airsoft pistol mags?
Where did you purchase the elastic mag holders you featured in this video?
I got them off eBay from searching Soft Shell Mag Pouch
Can you link us where you got the mag pouches from? They're really nice

the nice thing about 3D printing is you can always change the file and adapt.
True what Boomtendo said. Pretty sure I have already seen a Caliburn magwell for Talon, other designers could always update their designs too.
Awesome thanks
Will any of the adapters with a talon mag work for a unmodded rapidstrike?
No because the dart pusher is too short for half darts anyway.
Great balanced review
My CEDA came with the katana mags I bought a talon and it always jams
Did you carbon wrap the Ceda's pump arms? How's the clearance where they enter the shell - enough it's not scratching the wrap?
I've had it wrapped for a while now and it hasn't scratched the wrap.
Can you link the mag pouches?
the $30 shipping fee from monkeemods is whats ridiculous :( lol RIP, ill have to wait for a bigger order i need from em to buy
Your channel is the best nerf channel
How do you only 6 k subs
Significantly newer than most other Nerf channels.
Oooor you can get 3 adventure for pro 12 round stick mags for 30😎
I bought talons for my Caliburn, Bradley do you think you will purchase a Caliburn?
Technically I already have purchased one, it's being built.
Thanks!

Very late to the party. What kind of mag holder do you use?
Soft shell pistol mag pouches, you can find them on Amazon or eBay
@@BradleyPhillipsYT thanks for getting back
Nice video
Also have. You ever made a brass breech
I've used brass breeches before in my past videos. Did you have a question about making one?
@@BradleyPhillipsYT nah I've made one just wanted to know if you've made one
Do you have a link to the type of pistol mag holders you use?
Search for "soft shell mag pouch" on eBay.
@@BradleyPhillipsYT Thank you :)
Do you need to mod a styfe to shoot talons with the adapter
Yeah, you'll need an extended pusher
@@BradleyPhillipsYT k
Half Dart Magazines are like WW2 submachine gun magazines
Make a video about that super nice xzeus
It's in my Omega Kit overview
Lol, me scours internet for video about talon mags... 10 minutes later: Find's Bradley Phillip's video.... "Oh I should've known!"
I thought you were gone forever
Back home for two days before heading out again for new years. :P
Talons it is then.
Hi
So basically just get talon
That's what I would get.
