@@legoliker1 I was thinking along the lines of it's probably amazing modability and 5 shot elite/half dart cylinders people are already making. Heck this thing would be top of the line period when it comes to shotguns if someone can figure out how to make this thing take shells from the sledgefire or similar blasters.
great video! glad you like my cylinder! also that dead-space removal idea is really ingenious. might have to take a stab at that myself. the heaviness of the mega darts is definitely a little bit of an issue though. it'll preform a lot better with an upgraded spring. i know OOD says he's going to offer one for the boomdozer at some point.
@chicken, thanks for your work for the community! Any reason you went for full cylinders rather than large shells that fit in the existing cylinder? Like big grenade rounds...
@@srloins6613 Thanks for the support. :) The reason i didn't do that is because getting them to lock in properly would be very difficult and it would reduce the overall space i would have to work with. 5 dart shotguns would probably be impossible and triple mega would definitely be impossible. however it's still an idea that has promise. maybe I'll try it out sometime.
Oh my gosh! That is Awesome! I love the Slingfire stock, and your paint job looks better then the regular. 50 fps average is really good, considering some regular mega blasters only average 60 fps. A shot gun mega blaster, I am so glad you did this, because I know I couldn’t. It is very cool!
I do a lot of model painting in my free time and one of the ways that we like to mask complex areas is with poster tack. You can mold and press it into small crevices and around odd curves and then just use tape over the larger middle areas. It's a little more prep work but you can airbrush or can it to your heart's content afterwards.
_Finally, Nerf Mega Shotgun_ This mod does look amazing, which makes me kinda wish Hasbro should've done this in first place, but gladly we have Nerf modding community to make this mod possible. I might doing similar mod in future if I get my hands on the Boomdozer!
Great Work on the Video and Mod.! The stock is awesome. I was wondering how a Super Soaker, or Demolisher's Stock Would Look on it. Those dimensions look pretty close.
2:30 I don't think you need to worry I believe the way it works is (for the caldwell), it detects the first disturbance at the front gate, then the first disturbance at the rear gate. with end of disturbance (dart length) being thus irrelevant. Some simpler single gate chronos of course you do need to be concerned about. as they would rely on the timing of disturbance start and end.
I helped chicken come up with the geometry... we kinda had some issues with the diameter of the barrels because when i export from blender as an x3d, i can print a 20.1mm diameter "throat" for my project (0.4mm nozzles will shrink by exactly 0.2mm, leaving it at about 19.9) and giving it a pretty well perfect seal. doing this with solidworks/fusion files led to them being way the hell too loose. But, eventually we ended up going back to the starting tightness and I said "copy the geometry of elite and sledgefire shells, the divot in the center should save some filament and also reduce head rub." or something similar, originally stock megas would catch on the end sometimes, but in the end we worked it out. I'll definately be trying to work on mine in the future.
Yup. it was fun working together on that. you printed them when i was busy with other prints and we were able to iron out the problems together. thanks for helping me out with it.
I know they haven't gained much popularity, but 1/2Length MEGA do everything for projectile accuracy that 1/2 length Elite darts do for that projectile's accuracy. Just saying, if you're interested in an 'accurate' Mega Dart, that can fly 20'farther compared to standard Mega without a real increase in muzzle velocity.
Cool mod. A correction on your thoughts concerning the chronograph. The chronograph uses Two light sensors that the projectiles fly over. It is doing a simple velocity calculation (Velocity = Distance/Time) based on the measurement of the amount of time it takes for the leading edge of the dart (or group of darts) to travel between the sensors (a known distance). The length of the projectile or group is not a factor. My guess as to why your readings vary so much is that how the darts fit makes a huge difference when one air stream is shooting three at once. If all three fit evenly, one will experience the lowest possible velocity because the air is evenly distributed. If two are tight and one is not, one will experience the highest possible velocity, since the two tight fitting darts are (for a moment) directing greater airflow to the loose dart, and it will travel much faster than the other two.
@@drflux it did! I did find there is a lot of inconsistencies with MEGA, so I would often only have 2/3 fire unless I hand picked three that fit EXACTLY the same. I always meant to go back for the spring upgrade, and just have been constantly distracted by other projects - so many blasters so little time.
So you modified a blaster and it no longer shoots the new darts it was designed for... have no fear! These things are slightly bigger than Demolisher Rockets internally. They fit PERFECTLY on the cosmetic barrel extensions from Worker and other brands. I removed the barrel from my Kriss Vector Stryfe and stuck it in my Conquest Pro. Stuck a Mega XL dart on the end, primed, and yeeted it across my apartment. Perfect fit!
i just bought a boomdozer at thrift store for $4 bucks! im gonna do all this, but just for the big darts...the im gonna custom paint/fabricate so that it's a post apocalyptic! GONNA BE RAD!
Personally I wouldn't prefer buckshot mega because that means there is less buckshot which defeats the whole purpose of the shotgun in the first place, the smaller the darts the more you can fit.
the main reason to buckshot mega is HvZ or shield games. if you know there are special infected that are weak to mega, being able to corner clear with mega buckshot is safer
I think the elite would b better 4 a shotgun setup, mostly because the smaller size allows 4 more darts 2 b fired, and because elite darts aren’t accurate, they can provide 4 a wider spread, essentially increasing ur chances of hitting something
The boomdozer hydra shotgun, or the boomdozer mega barrage-shot mod ? I don't know exactly what name fits the best for this mod. I looks great so far, I kind of see this as a weapon from Waterworld or maybe Borderlands.
@@ProfessorPhysics2 I mean, considering your comparison, I feel like I'm justified in my overreaction. That said, might still give this thing a shot. Is the big funny.
I already wanted one.... I Said...I ALREADY WANTED ONE.! By the way, all of the Fortnite Mega darts that I have are slightly larger than the most of the all the other Mega darts I have.
Around 3 grams for Mega XL.
That way lower than all the other measurements I've seen. AmericanFoam measured at 6g.
I've seen others measure at 6g, where did you get 3?
@@Sillybutts yeah I think 6 is more like it
Its seeing mods like this that makes me think that this blaster is gonna be a community staple for a long time.
Hopefully......I personally think this will be the next "special ammo" sheild buster/hvz specials buster for most games

How about cramming it full of Hyper rounds and turn it into a scattergun?🤣
that would be Awesome!
have fun with cleaning up lmao
You said that painting was done by hand? I couldn't tell. This build looks amazing! Keep up the good work.
That stock fits The Boomdozer perfectly!
Great build!
Thanks!
This is gonna be such a cool blaster to add to my arsenal!
There's gonna be a complete absence of shields within a fifty mile radius of this beast.
Wow very cool, I plan on making my own cylinder soon!
That's so cool! Makes me consider picking one up in the future.

Looks so much better than the original!
I ordered my Dozer last night and can't wait for these!!
I think this is absolutely the best use for this blaster. Nice one 👍🏻
Awesome work as usual. That paint job pops.👌🏻
Someone out there has a half dart inline magazine sort of shotgun drum for this too. 54 total darts, 3 shots in a burst, so, thats 18 shotgun blasts.
Dr.F
That is one fantastic Mega shotgun. Keep up the great work.
The paint looks great!
Got a boom dozer for $20 and just ordered all the parts for the 54 half dart shotgun

when will Colonel wasp firefly be available in the market
I am subbed 😀
Please tell me
There is a full length version and I so want to double stack half lengths in there for a snake shot effect

Agreed

I heard that with the normal length elite style cylinder you can put two half length darts in each chamber so it launches 10 darts per shot.
I never thought a Nerf blaster could be sexy, yet here we are.
Great video. Ha! Wicked sweet man
Imagine making the boomdozer shoot a blast of elite darts. You could probably shoot about 7
O boy the modability

If you print a cylinder that fires boomco darts, would it be called the BoomCozer? 🤣

no need for the gjallarhorn now
Now make that an elite shotgun
Cool

I reallt want a double crusher with a 3 shot mega adapter
It is impressive how much better it looks without that Fortnite-like muzzle thing. It's a Jort or two worth of plastic!

What is de Internal Diameter and barrel Length for 3d print rival adapter
Half darts out the BOOM DOSER
I think the elite would b better 4 a shotgun setup, mostly because the smaller size allows 4 more darts 2 b fired, and because elite darts aren’t accurate, they can provide 4 a wider spread, essentially increasing ur chances of hitting something
Can the cylinder fire rival balls?
Amazing mod Doc!
thank you!
Looks like it could be part of a Hellboy cosplay play cosplay
How did you make the stock ?
For the barrel delete, does it need to be cut off or are there tabs inside the blaster?
BEST SHOTGUN MOD EVER.!!
Lol umm is this blaster for sell because I NEED IT lol. Great mod and definitely a grab I won't hesitate to pick up.

it can but k26 isnt always better
